@Alexarmstrong Democracy in the UK is in danger.
Whichever party wins the election, the authorities need to implement mechanisms that ensure a truly secret vote for every citizen.
@Alexarmstrong I’m not surprised that The Electoral Commission are concerned over the highest level of ‘family voting’ in history at the #GortonDentonByElection . It is a criminal offence!
Women’s rights to make their own decision must be upheld in a functioning #Democracy.
Oh f*ck off.
Enough of this nonsense.
I’ll be offended if I don’t get called ‘Sir’ - what about MY rights? I respect trans people’s right to exist and to fairness/equality - but we can’t rewrite all gender specific language to cater for a tiny minority.
A tweak to my own translation. The people are not chanting for any specific police officers but to security forces in general. It’s a more powerful (and moving) chant than I had realised ⬇️
@advancesarah Friends in the right places. Someone enabled that level of fraud. We nees a complete clear out, HO, DWP and local council housing offices. Follow the money.........
“Under a Labour government we would freeze energy bills. We wouldn’t allow them to go up.”
~ Keir Starmer
Snake oil salesmanship.
The energy price cap will rise by 0.2% from January 1, 2026. Energy prices are 12% higher than when Labour came into government in July 2024.
STOP THIS NONSENSE! - we have no money, a black hole apparently so why on earth don’t Starmer and Reeves reign this idiot in? This Labour government are completely incompetent and totally out of control
Good job by Kevin Hollinrake in pushing back against Sky News.
The black hole has been created by Rachel Reeves and this Labour government. The OBR confirmed there was no original £22 billion black hole.
All tax rises will be on Labour and them only.
Though I yield to nobody in my view that BoJo was just about the least appropriate person to have as PM when Covid struck, I’m sceptical of the Hallet report’s claim that had he locked down a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved. First, it’s easy to be wise after the event. At the time nobody was quite sure what was happening. Second, that figure depends on modelling. And by now we should all have learned to be extremely sceptical of modelling.
Swedes were told to spend as much time outside as possible.
Because you can’t catch Covid outside!
Brits were restricted to an hour outside a day.
Guess which country fared worse in the pandemic?
Anything about this from Lady Thick as Mince?
Ed Davey received £275,000 working for the legal firm that fought against hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters accused of fraud.
That’s far more concerning.
Labour MPs with strong Muslim constituencies will be dancing on a pinhead over the Mahmood plan.
If they back it , the MP will lose the Muslim vote as they will want their families and friends coming here from Pakistan and the like, legally or not.
If they vote against it they will lose the vast majority of the white vote which will go to Reform.
Whichever way they turn they will be kicked out. Happy days.
Months ago, Rachel Reeves said she couldn’t afford to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Now the economy’s even worse but suddenly she’s found the cash?
She’s not being honest. Labour will hike your taxes to cover for Keir Starmer’s weakness on welfare.
I'll say more at 10am.
