Quick recap. No mass exodus from private to state schools. No exodus of non Doms. No mass redundancies from leading businesses but recruitment a bit shaky. Mortgages down. Interest rates down. Growth up a tad. But consistent. Starmer doing well on int stage. NHS improving. LABOUR

Been a full on week for Labour. I’ve gathered just a few highlights. Most important in my view, is Mone. Being held accountable for her failed PPE supply. I hope we get our money back. Daylight robbery under Labour does not pay

The Labour vision is to get the infrastructure repaired/in place. Build more homes, improve wages, sort transport and get more investment in UK . Alongside a better performing NHS. They need to start promoting this vision everywhere.

Call me old fashioned but I like listening to Evan because he provides information which helps me make my own decisions. I rely on the quality of his journalism to colour in the complicated picture surrounding a subject. Pandering to right wing diktats is not the answer. Just give us the facts fcs.

I'm somewhere in the middle of this. I live on a shitty council estate and my wife is disabled and so are a number of her family.
It needs to be easier to get those benefits. I'm sick of banging heads with imbeciles.
But also it needs to be harder to game the system. ... more
