Clear legal evidence Putin's Russia was bribing some UKIP/Reform leaders during the lead up to the Brexit deal. So there is a clear need for an independent investigation into where UKIP got all the money that it used to promote its well funded leave campaign.

‼️Posting again for the uninformed‼️

The mainstream media, NHS leaders & Government have failed to support GPs

35m appts a month, 5m MORE than 2019

The combined TOTAL use of A&E/Ambulances/111 is LESS than the INCREASE in appts provided

GPs are doing this with less funding

One belief I have is that the flood plain should be far more sacrosanct than the green belt
A ban on new-build on flood-plains would help, at zero cost.

I lived in Peterborough once, & a lot of new housing was built on the Nene flood plain. They reinforced the river to ensure it wouldn't flood the new houses. Next winter houses further downriver that had never flooded before, did.
