This is real.

And I have never seen the competence, morals, standards and communication strategy of any government collapse so fast.

We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

You've almost got to admire the thought process behind seeing how spectacularly badly Labour's winter fuel payments policy has gone down with pensioners and then thinking "let's come up with something even more unpopular"

There are around 10k private school kids in Edinburgh.

51 have moved to state schools in January.

As I've repeatedly said the effects of VAT on fees are going to be minimal.

It takes a pretty special kind of entitlement and a very friendly media to stand there, as a member of the party who took gov't debt from 63% to 100% of GDP, from £900 billion to £2.8 trillion, who gave us Brexit and PM Truss, and say "we know how this sorry story goes - we have seen it before." ~AA

Special Counsel (Jack Smith’s) report confirms Trump went to “unprecedented criminal effort" to retain power in 2020. Only election in 2024 stopped him being convicted.
So, when Tories say he represents the “rule of law” - just laugh at their sorry immoral arses.
