Fracturing politics?
Fashionable to say, but I find that every party has at least one thing I agree with, but many that I don’t.
@libdems.org.uk seem the less offensive though….

Good news.
However, after years of cross party support, unnecessary delays by Labour as they thought about cancelling the whole thing (and then changed their mind) has driven costs even higher.
Labour dithering means North Somerset tax payers will have to find another £3m.

The Portishead and Pill to Bristol railway project is ON!
Following intense work by the West of England Mayor and combined authority, North Somerset Council, Network Rail and the Department for Transport, we’ve come up with a plan for a fully funded program of work to get started this summer!

4X as many disapprove of the government than approve.
Given how awful they are it’s surprising so many still approve.
I was hopeful when Kier Starmer became PM. I’ve realised he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
No philosophy of government, no true north, no belief beyond his own ambition.

Here in the UK we live are living well beyond our means.
The mantra of the government needs to be save, invest, grow.
They talk about investing and growing. But without saving it won’t work.
Be honest with the public. Cut costs, save, invest, grow.
