I've read electricity Bill's to business will fall several hundred pounds but can't confirm that in any way.
Households bill to drop by £150 as Keir Starmer said several times during PMQs.
Wouldn't think they can force private landlords to drop rents though, unless they brought in rent control laws?

All that extra money will be spent in the local economy too, helping local businesses & causing the economy to grow.
It won't be stashed offshore or put into ISAs...
There is genuine benefit to the economy in giving more to the poorest.
Well done Labour!

Imagine the media fury when they realise that Brexit reversal is marching its way up Labour’s agenda. If they’d focus on news for a bit they might keep up with real events. I believe Brexit reversal will be in Labour’s manifesto for 28/29.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

Then the next day it’s Nathan Gill’s sentencing. So Farage will be stressed too.

Polls are just reflective of the day's current fad, influenced heavily by media rhetoric.
Anyone who truly thinks Sunak was a better PM than Starmer needs a GP appointment tbh.
The public wants radical change, but overnight with cherries on, totally unrealistic.
