Can't be arsed reading it but someone has just posted yet another Guardian article bashing Starmer, may not be as bad as the clickbait headline suggests but I'm not interested in reading it, this isn't journalism.

This, from the Home Office strategy "Having a Sensible Conversation about Immigration" is really good: sensible, balanced and evidence-based.
Exactly the right approach for a centre-left government.

So a Labour government is clawing back money the Tories gave out to all and sundry.
Again this is good for the country and will hopefully stop others in future from doing what the Tories did.
But Starmer is a *** 🙈🙈

Wrongful payments for Covid Loans amnesty ends NYE. The Government will double down on getting our money back from Jan 1. Not sure where that leaves Mone et al but I bet they have plans.

So after the Conservatives spend years accusing Keir Starmer of betraying Britain in his work as a former Human Right's lawyer, Kemi Badenoch's own Shadow Attorney General in the Lords takes a job representing a sanctioned Russian oligarch

We have entities in Britain who are working towards the failure of their own government. Conservatives, ultra conservatives and the British media who care not one bit about British people working in Unison towards Britain failing whilst painting themselves as patriots.
They border on treason.

Just in case the media doesn't report the facts (shocking thought eh) Alaa Abd El Fattah tweets were posted in 2012, he's apologised for them. The Tories granted him citizenship in December 2021, presumably they knew about the historical tweets, so why are they complaining now answers on a postcard.

Wait, all the people who said it was outrageous that a British riot-supporter was jailed for a tweet are now saying it's outrageous that a British person was released from an Egyptian prison, given his tweets?

This article doesn't tells us anything we don't already know about Farage but what struck me is the bit about the pupils being told they're the future leaders of the country. Entitlement and arrogance is built in at these schools. Man of the people my arse.

If the average person could earn £400,000 for four hours work a month, they wouldn't need pension advice.
It can't be said enough. This man is a spiv, a fraud, and a Russian asset.

I didn't listen but LBC have posted a clip of the head of the TUC telling Labour to strengthen workers rights. In what world does the TUC chief not know the Employment Rights Act became law last week. An act which does more for employee rights in decades.
