The cost of the @WelshGovernment 20 MPH policy. https://t.co/R7wtZ0wk5U Personally I'd rather see NHS getting more money

I first wrote a column in 2012 ( when the Sun still vaguely mattered) advocating the need for a Southern Party. With Burnham making it clear he wants to beggar the people of the South ( especially the Home Counties) to give undeserved lifestyles to the skint and idle further away it’s clear the time for that party is now. In fact it’s a matter of urgency. If you’re sick of funding the rest of the country through your taxes, you’d sign up. If you’re sick of Lefties wanting to penalise you for taking the gamble to buy a house and then over decades see the value rise, you’d sign up. If you’re sick at the cost of commuting where you can £32 for an all-day travel card from Weybridge ( only 28 miles from London) you’d sign up. If you’re sick of being told that if you want to pay extra for your kids’ education you face a tax increase, you’d sign up. If you’re sick at risking everything to start your own little business ( 9 in 10 fail) and then being told your tax will double so a council house can be built in Oldham, you’d sign up. Burnham has made it clear he will change our general election voting system, meaning the Southern Party will get at least a handful of votes and in political horse trading may get a policy say whoever wins. There are 5.7million small business and freelancers in the UK. A sizeable chunk would vote for party as uniquely it will believe in making and keeping your money money and not handing it over to those unprepared to put a shift in. Strangely The Tories don’t really believe in money making and nor do I hear Reform talking about it. Voters in the South have been both ignored politically AND taxed to death so people elsewhere can lie in bed. We need somebody to fight for us. Labour is going to fund The North. Who is going to help down here? I say the Southern Party.

🚨 Asylum hotels are closing — but are communities now being asked to carry the risk instead? Since Labour were elected, the number of people in asylum hotels has fallen by 8,676. At the same time, the number being placed in dispersal accommodation, houses, flats and streets in ordinary communities, has risen by 6,941. The small-boat route is dominated by predominantly young adult men. Many arrive without reliable documents or a verifiable history. Nobody is saying every person arriving is dangerous. But when people are being placed into communities before the state can properly establish who they are, where they have been or whether there are safeguarding concerns, the public is entitled to ask serious questions. Are we reducing the problem, or simply moving it somewhere less visible? Read article in reply 👇
