For weeks, Elon Musk promoted Nigel Farage’s insurgent, anti-immigrant party, Reform U.K., as the answer to Britain’s problems. On Sunday, he had a sudden change of heart about Farage as its leader.

Quelle surprise
The Conservatives spent only a quarter of the money they allocated to levelling up.

They were dedicated to the rhetoric, but not the reality.

People made fortunes from substandard and unusable PPE while our loved ones died for lack of it.

"The Department for Health and Social Care lost three-quarters of the £12bn it spent on PPE in the first year of the pandemic, largely due to inflated prices and kit that did not meet requirements."
The new covid corruption commissioner has started work this week. We wish him well in his investigations.

State failures led to many of the hearts on our wall, and those responsible must pay.

Justice must be done - we owe it to those who we mourn.
