I had knee surgery Sept 2024. This walkway was closed. It's now nearly May 2025. This walkway is still closed. #Derby authorities clearly don't like to rush. #Sortitout

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”.
They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security…
for ANYTHING…
A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.
Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?
Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.
Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
