To all the haters...

...the PM is a good man trying to sort out the mess the Tories left behind.

But he's also gone through the loss of his brother last Christmas.

It's quote something to go through that and keep on running the country.

On the night Putin won the #Brexit referendum in 2016, the £ collapsed and has not recovered since.

Therefore increasing prices and worsening our living standards.

But one guy was happy.

Fact: If Johnson had listened to Starmer for a 2 week circuit breaker instead of vilifying him along with the media,tens of thousand of lives would have been saved.
That’s the difference in leadership.
It’s not difficult to see.

If Covid had happened under a Labour government today's papers would have called for the public stoning of the PM and Health Sec.
Johnson and Hancock have got off scot free. Johnson to bluff, bluster and blag his way to further riches.

“It might take our producer five minutes to find 60 economists who feared #Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

But by the time we went on air we had one of each: we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance.

It wasn’t.”

Nigel Farage was asked to apologise for a Reform UK councillor describe children in care as downright evil

Keir Starmer asks him to apologise for it at #PMQs

He doesn't, instead he talks about hotels housing asylum seekers

When Reform UK show you who they are, believe them

I cannot for the life of me understand why some are so against Starmer. He's improving this country by the day in tough circumstances, following 14 years of utter Tory devastation.
The UK electorate have short memories, narrow minds & little patience, & allow the MSM to manipulate them like sheep.

This year, Labour increased the minimum wage for all workers at well above inflation.

But they increased it even MORE for younger workers.

They aim to get the rates the same for all ages.

But Reform want the opposite - to reduce the minimum wage for younger people.

Support Labour. Oppose Reform.

Another video showing the human side of our PM.

He really is a decent, normal human being, who knows how to actually talk to people.

Here he is talking about the expansion of the Warm Homes Discount to 6m people in total.

We need to see more of this authentic side of the PM!

I think this speech needs sharing again.

Since the PM said this, there have been Tories who have come out & said the same as Reform: that they want to see people with a legal right to be in the UK get deported.

Call it out and stand up for these people - our friends, neighbours and key workers.

Zack Polanski is just the latest bright, shiny, happy-clappy bandwagon for the fickle minded,short attention span folk to jump on to get their quick fix. This phase will hopefully pass. Meanwhile, Labour is putting in the hard yards of getting things done in a steady,stealthy and responsible way.
I wish people would ask Polanski HOW he is going to do the things he shouts loud about.
He can’t cause he has no detailed plans for any of his ‘policies’
Dig deep to find what’s underneath the noise.
Won’t be much.
