… and the beginning of conflicting emotions - is this “new UK” somewhere people want to be a part of and grow old in?

Supposi-tory

Why is this madness being allowed to happen? How is it that evil prevails? 😢

Have you been to Leeds? I was stunned and impressed by the scale of development over the last 10 years…

My crystal ball says we will start to see a brain drain; people (including Brits) will choose countries offering a better cost of living and quality of life, where they can afford to bring up a young family and buy their own homes.
Britain is not that great any more.

Maybe UK needs to prove themselves worthy of attracting skilled labour. A strong pound vs high taxes, low quality / inaccessible public services, poor quality transport and housing, “no family allowed”, racist tropes and grim weather can make it quite unappealing.

I’d be interested to know what plans are in place to help migrants integrate into Life in UK. Because if the default response by locals is to treat them with racist contempt due to divisive narratives by the likes of the BBC and Reform, we shouldn’t wonder “why immigrants struggle to integrate.”

How is this news?

Thank you, this is so helpful. I’ve heard rumblings that the panels do not belong to the house owners but to the solar panel companies / a headache when selling the property. Is that true?

The thing is, he doesn’t care.
As far as he’s concerned he’s still in the Oval Office, untouchable, for as long as he decides to be.

Who are you with, and how do I ensure I don’t get conned?

Money cannot buy class (nor intelligence, as demonstrated here).

Why are these people given airtime?

💯. I struggle to understand how govt pulled out all the stops during Covid (evidence that they *can* move swiftly with decisions and budgets - Nightingales, NHS Covid Pass, NHS App etc), but are now back in paralysis mode.
