Unemployment up and its Reeves and Labour’s fault. It was 4.1% when they took office last year, now it’s 5%. This is down to Reeves NI hike and scaring businesses with fears about her Budget. Reeves and Starmer must go to save the economy.

It's over. Starmer and Reeves have no future. Labour will destroy themselves even more if they hang onto until the May elections. Next summer will be too late, the ship would've have sunk by then. Labour's only hope is to dump these two and Lammy before Christmas.

This is an unbelievably stupid decision by the government. Denying NHS staff free COVID vaccinations will cost the NHS more through sickness absence leading to more delays for patients. Why do something so dumb?

Good news. More and more people realising the fight with Reform is now not in the future. The Tories and Labour are dying, the Lib Dem’s are well, Lib Dem’s. So that makes the Greens the only credible choice for next May’s elections.

Turns out Reform promises as good as Labour promises as good as Tory promises. You can't trust any of the establishment parties. We need to move on from these three and give others a chance.

They have announced they will raise it by this over 5 years:
Kent: 25%

The media need to start asking Labour ministers about their cuts to the British Transport Police after the horrific train knife attack. Why do they keep finding more and more money to protect Ukraine but can’t afford safety for commuters here?

Look what got buried by Labour in the noise over Reeves' non speech and helpfully ignored by establishment media. Starmer has no excuse for appointing Mandelson. He still needs to be questioned and Mandelson's peerage needs to be in a shredder.
