@Keir_Starmer Tories were building to 300,000 a year. You just added the years together and came to same answer.
And new housing starts are down 9% year on year.
@_Rani_Dixit My guess is that there was a loss of thrust. Wheels were not even up. At that height, no altitude, tragedy was guaranteed.
Bad fuel? Repeat of flight BA-38 (777 crashed on landing)?
@paullewismoney@TorstenBell My mum is 84 and has dementia. Sheโs still at home at the moment in the two 2 bed house that we grew up in. The plaster has fallen off the outside wall but she canโt afford to have the cavity wall insulation which caused it removed. Her pension: ยฃ12822. No 24/25 WFA for her.
@FlyingBuraq3 @DaniB91389@Malcolm_Pal9 Sheโs not smiling because of the cookies. Itโs relief. In the back of her mind it must of occurred to her that she might actually end up in Gaza.
@SandraDunn1955@pinguforest While you are at it, perhaps youโd like to demand proportional representation of races, identities and sexual orientations as well.
@Em_BaTsari@JonahIvriAnochi@RachaelMaskell The problem is Muhammed, that your warmongering co-religionists canโt help themselves, smuggling in weapons to kill Jews. So screw you, you donโt get access to free seas.
@JayneInnes Oh come on Jayne, how many poor pensioners (the ones in the ยฃ12-20k income bracket) are now in debt because of this ill thought out plan. They U-turned because their own MPs told them. Not because of an improving economy (if it is, then no need for tax rises, hey)?
@RichardBurgon I would rather my MP dealt with British affairs than worry about Israel policing terrorists, which its managing well on its own. Interesting footage from Gaza - everybody looks well fed. Israel feeding its enemies while Greta takes selfies.
@Keir_Starmer We don't believe you. And clearly neither do the migrants.
Do you regret ending Rwanda, as it helped the Tories reduce the 2023 arrivals by 34% on the year before.
You've reversed that, and look what's happened.
@X_Seed1@WorldByWolf@LBC I have a good friend, Indian Hindu. Been here 7 years. Amazing work ethic, active in community, high earner paying lots of tax. These are the people we need. In fact, fill the country with Hindus and Sikhs and we won't need half the prisons we have.
@TahirRa4681753@RichardBurgon NHS employment grew by 180,000 between 2019 and 2024. Around 24% of employees there are non-white (which does not mean they are not british). But even if we assume that they are all foreign, we can say that a max of 1.3% of net migrants went to work in the NHS. Irrelevance.
@RichardBurgon If housing is under strain, rental prices increase, which impoverishes others.
We know that migration impacts wages, too. Anybody that claims it doesn't better not be counted amongst those whining that Brexit had made labour costs more expensive.
@RichardBurgon Yes they did.
Yes they did.
If you invite 7 million people to your country, and most of them do not earn enough to pay NET tax, then the NHS will be under strain. If you invite 750,000 people to your country, and only build 150,000 houses a year, housing is under strain.
