What? You're not happy with Brexit? It doesn't meet your personal requirements? Not what YOU voted for?

Close schools: No need to pay teachers / Buy books / Sell the sites to build houses...... No need for 20 zones / Reduce traffic when I'm trying to get to work / No buses in my way.... 😉
I’ve come up with a few more ideas for new Reform policies:
Reduce chemotherapy provision to lower the price of cigarettes
Remove free nursery places to fund subsidies for the fox hunting industry
Tax turbans to allow for zero VAT on any item sold in Union Jack packaging.

If Starmer knew Mandelson "had an ongoing relationship" with Epstein & still appointed him as Ambassador to the USA then Starmer needs to go!
Starmer forced to admit he knew of Mandelson's continued relationship with Epstein after the first convicton when he appointed him ambassador. Eek this is a shocker.
Badenoch has nailed him on this.
