Politicians need to do their homework, look at the data and not just push out perceptions and options as fact!

Insiders expect the manifesto pledge to ‘quietly go away’ to avoid a fight with Reform or Trump
"Why the fuck would we open that particular can of worms for ourselves at this particular moment?"

This is utterly extraordinary.
A Labour councillor in Dudley has been kicked out of the party after claiming Keir Starmer “lied to the British public and has turned his back on working-class people”.
This isn’t meant to happen less than a year in! https://t.co/Sx94yKB9a4
🚨 NEW: Tory MP Esther McVey says that the Conservatives and Reform UK should form a pact at the next election to prevent another Labour victory

High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow £3bn.
Already has £17bn debt, funded dividends, wants 53% price hike.
A third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills.

Special interests run the country. Or as our completely unaccountable media calls them ‘senior figures’.
Lord Sugar, "The biggest disaster in my lifetime was us leaving the European Union"
"The full ramifications of us not being in the EU are starting to take it's toll"
"If I was Prime Minister, I would be coming along on my bended knees asking to be let back in"
"It's all to do with trade, free trade, small traders can't ship abroad now, it's complicated. It's a terrible situation"
"How do we get out of it? Get back in the EU"

But the Government continue to say no. What are they afraid of?
Water bills in England will rise by an average of £123 this yr.
Biggest hit to customer since water was privatised 36 years ago.
47% price hike by Southern Water.
Sewage dumping, high dividend payments, exec pay to continue.
No one protects people.

@AngelaRayner Why are you persuing to build a film studio in Marlow? The West Midlands is crying out for a Film Studio like the one you want to approve in Marlow. We have so much space & disused warehouses as well as so many creatives without work. Birmingham 2nd city in UK.

Trump would require approval from the UK because of an undertaking signed in 1917!
That was the 1st time the US was interested in acquiring the island - and as Canada was a British dominion at the time, it was agreed the UK would have 1st 'first dibs'
