We in Great Britain, were once regarded for our collective decency. That reputation is being steadily eroded by the unseemly scramble by both Left and Right politicians who deploy immigration as an easy means of winning support for votes and have learned nothing from history. Shameful.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

If Labour want to attack Reform, they should attack it on their weakest front. Brexit, it hasn't worked, is unworkable and unpopular. www.theneweuropean.co.uk/steve-angles...
If Brexit is so unpopular, why is Farage winning?
Labour are unwilling to attack the Reform leader’s greatest weakness

The truth is, there is only one language that Labour speaks and that is the language of political pain. For so long as Keir Starmer thinks we'll all go crawling back to Labour at the next Election he will continue to court the Reform vote. We need to tell him we won't.

I know the right wing media finds it all very difficult so, in an attempt to be helpful, this is what an actual interference with free speech looks like.

Brexit Curse.

UK food and drink exports to the EU down 34% since Brexit.

UK squeezed by Trump's tariffs.

Losing EU trade - UK regulations diverging from the EU; high energy, water, transport costs making exports expensive.

Rejoin the EU. Curb energy, water, transport profiteering.

Lyse Doucet on BBC Sunday this morning is so right: What did Sir Keir Starmer do? He picked up the phone and talked to Donald Trump. Jaw, jaw so much better than war, war.

There are reports that Andrew Tate and his brother have left Romania for the USA via private jet.

Despite facing charges including human trafficking and sexual misconduct, it would appear the Trump administration has helped him to go home.

Tate is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump.

Our sky-high energy prices are going up again.

Add that to all the other tax rises, cost of living rises etc. in the pipeline, and very few people will be feeling better off come April.

Pay rises are one thing, but they can easily be swallowed by other factors!
