Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.

Dubai immigrant, Isabel Oakeshott, whines that Farage got nothing from his deal with the Tories last time, so why should he do that again.
Christ. The whining victimhood of these spoiled brats. Squabbling over power, while the rest of us live with the mess they’ve made of our country and our lives.
