This is great stuff from Labour!
Transformative policies put into action for military homes following years of neglect.
Never again say the Tories stand up for our forces. They failed to act for 14 years.
Only Labour will deliver these plans in full & give our forces the homes they deserve.

It's good to see that The Express' poll is reflecting the truth i.e. that *Yes* - "Rachel Reeves is right to blame Brexit for state of UK economy".

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.
The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

Now Gibraltar has won its way back into Schengen and a customs deal with more access than before Brexit, while the rest of us are stuck with queues, red tape and decline.
And where’s the UK press? Silent.
Once again it’s Washington Post exposing Brexit.
