Britain is literally now at the mercy of a few hundred Labour MPs, most of whom have never had a proper job & who understand nothing about economic realities.
We have been taken over by a juvenile student union socialist collective.
God help us all.
If you ask most voters what local government does, they will say “collect bins, fix potholes, provide local services”.
The reality is they’re a self-bankrupting social care ponzi scheme.
Almost the whole budget goes on an exponentially growing welfare bill, with contracts awarded with no competition.
Bereft of the money, talent and, crucially with no ability to make meaningful decisions, they preside over the demise of their local communities.
Westminster tells them to spend whatever they like and wack it on their balance sheet as an unfunded liability.
The hapless residents lose out on ever more things they care about in service of funding ever more welfare for a fraction of the community. And they’re asked to pay ever more in tax, for ever less.
The only winners are the executive teams that feast on insane multi-six figure salaries and pensions that would make a FTSE CEO blush.
When Reform wins in 2029, all this will change.
@piersmorgan Iranian here,
The regime doesn't embed itself among civilians. They don't operate from schools and hospitals. They don't fire ballistic missiles from downtown Tehran.
Most IRGC officials live in separate buildings from other Iranians.
Hamas does none of this.
Hope that helps.
Rachel Reeves is borrowing 520 billion pounds.
At a time when our international moneylenders think British government are spendthrift morons with no plans for growth.
They will jack up our repayments until we’re bust.
Wait till the British people find out what Rachel has done.

🤦 It is regrettable that, having replaced the Conservatives, Labour continues to invent the same Russophobic fabrications in an attempt to mask its own economic ineptitude and to justify the hike in military spending that the UK can scarcely afford.

Junior doctors, who now want to be known as resident doctors, took 44 days of industrial action between March 2023 and July last year, which ended when Labour awarded them a 22% pay rise three weeks after taking office.
They were awarded another above-inflation pay rise of 5.4% this year — more than nurses and the rest of the public sector.
Naturally the BMA still thinks all this is not enough.
Ballots for industrial action were sent to doctors on Tuesday. Now doctors are demanding a further 29% increase.
How Labour handles this might well determine its future as a government.
What are the odds it caves in — again?
Gutted. Just absolutely gutted. We’ve had our sights on that European final in Bilbao from day one of this campaign. So to accept not being able to take part out on that pitch with the boys is really tough to take. Injuries are just part of this game that can be so cruel at times. But I truly believe that it can be a special night for my football club. Bring on the 21st. All together. @SpursOfficial 🤍 #COYS
Reform controlled English councils will move at speed to resolve that the *only* flags permitted to be flown on or in its buildings will be the Union Jack and the St George’s flag.
No other flags will be permitted to be flown on its flag-poles, balconies, reception desks or council-chamber walls. 🇬🇧 🏴
