#Reform names #Jenrick as pick for Chancellor, a man who illegally assisted a property developer to avoid £ millions in tax, and made a tidy little pile on the side himself at the same time.

Still think they are on the side of the “working class”?

It's just so strange - like the fixation on 'imperial units'. I actually remember, just about, getting my pocket money in pre-decimal currency & can even still remember the advertising jingle of the decimalization public information films. But so what? Why would anyone *care* about this?
Dan wasn't even born before decimalisation (nor was he anywhere near the UK when he was born) but still he yearns for Britain's pre-decimal times 55 years later.

Canada is now closer to the EU than Britain, and Canada is head of the queue when it comes to contracts for non-EU members. Proof again that Starmer's non-reset has merely solidified our place in the wilderness.

PM Carney: Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.
