Change
Labour changed into even worse Tories.
Wonder what they will change into next?
If they go any further right they will change into Reform.

Why lie about what motivates these cuts? They are Labour's choice as to who should bear the costs of its fiscal rule. Why add insult to injury to claimants, why gaslight the rest of us, and pretend they are to help those with disabilities?

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry.

That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827.

Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems.

Most people want to end the scandal.

Ah but ...

when Farage has been given the chance to negotiate ...

then the inevitable additional hardship faced by the UK will deny Farage of his winning campaign line ...

"If only I had been in charge of the negotiations then the UK economy would be in a much better state"

The UK government must be made to explain if UK satellite images or UK troops are needed to fire these missiles.

It used to be that a vote of Parliament was needed before the UK engaged in a war.

Not under Starmer.

How did that happen?

Madness.
