5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky

Letting an accountant do the job of an economist is really unwise.
Austerity will just create more austerity.....that is the lesson of the last 14 years.
If you want to grow the economy give money to people who will spend it not just to those who will hoard it.
They need taxing.
