Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.
But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.
Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

New petition: Do not extend the BBC TV license fee to streaming services
It has been reported that the Government is considering extending the BBC TV license fee to active subscribers of popular streaming services such as Netflix as an example. We believe this is unfair and that the Government has no rights to extend what we think is an unfair charge.

This is all fantasy. There is no country giving us anything. These are all just goals and hopes just like the empty promises about private investment in the US he got from countries last term. Let us know the date the $550B & $750B checks from Japan and EU get here.
