Labour always left to clear up a Tory mess, meaning bad times, meaning Tories get voted back to make another mess...
A similar pattern in the US with Democrats taking that role.
A powerful right wing media hides that reality.

The Tories have always borrowed more than Labour, and always repaid less: they are the party of big deficit spending
It is often suggested that Labour is profligate and the Tories are the naturally ‘safe pair of hands’ when it comes to running the economy. The Tories, it is presumed, do not borrow as much as Labour....

Musk’s latest intervention is objectively hilarious but the problem of a hideous human using his enormous wealth & power to promote lies & liars in the U.K., despite having no links to or other interest in the country, remains acute.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

I have no idea why Prince William is sitting down with a rapist and convicted felon. I don’t give a single shit he’s a working Royal. When men sit down with rapists and smile for cameras you’re normalising rape.

This is Jeremy Clarkson, who’s used Clarkson’s Farm to vilify badgers as scapegoats for bTB and has allegedly wiped them out on his own farm.
He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull..

Not jumping on a bandwagon but I have never liked the look of GW. Insincere grin mixed with a scowl. Determined to make food competitive. It is only important when you don’t have any.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS.
He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself.
We really should be talking about prison.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
