We’ve repeatedly said we should raise revenue in a fairer way—by going after companies making billions in profits, who can afford to pay a bit more to help restore our public services.

At the same time, we need to grow the economy and negotiate our EU trade deal.

Such a shame we decided to leave the EU, we could have told Trump to stick his tariffs and swivel and stop trading all together.

It's still being debated because of the blanket changes. Yes, reduce speed limits, but if a road has a school on it but really does it need to 20mph at 3 in the morning? Should have gone with variable limits.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority

Putins just playing games, and all his demands for a ceasefire are the same as his reasons he started the war in the 1st place.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
So bold are Putin’s ceasefire demands, it’s hard to believe he is entirely serious
The extraordinary demands of the Russian leader to weaken Ukraine would make a mockery of any peace deal

Trump and Vance's pre planned attack on Zelensky yesterday seems to have had the opposite effect of isolating Ukraine by galvanising European leaders and the people of the world against Trump and his administration.
