We have elections coming up on the 1st of May. If you don’t vote and reform end up
controlling your local Council you have only yourself to blame. The only time one of Garages previous parties got control of a council (Thanet) it was bankrupt within 6 months. They have no plan and are incompetent

"There are voices that want to knock us off course. They would keep Britain locked in dependence on global markets we don’t control. They will make up any old nonsense & lies to pursue their ideological agenda"

In two days the first 750 schools will be launching their free breakfast clubs to all parents who want to use them.

It is the first step towards delivering on a Labour manifesto promise to offer these in all schools.

These early adopters will help shape how the national roll out will be done.

Mo Salah is such a classy player. If he thinks he may have injured a player in a clash he always checks to make sure he’s OK

While we are taking about reparations, is America going to pay for non combatant deaths and damage in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Palestine?

There has been a huge amount of noise about the Labour plan for benefits, mostly from people who havent read the Green Paper. It’s an incredibly complex issue and the consultation will last several months with no significant changes apart from increased funding until then

I hadn’t realised Andre Tate had joint citizenship with the US. Would you like to keep him as he is surplus to requirements over here? What was he doing in Romania if not sex trafficking or otherwise up to no good? My take on the 80-20 rule? At least 80% of the population think he is a toxic twat.

Does anyone know the total cost of support for the farming sector in the UK, including road and fuel tax, grants, tax allowances and subsidies? Is this the sector with the most government support?
