I think this is a good idea but needs to be a bit more locally focused. I live in Yorkshire. I think it would be more effective if it had information about what was specifically happening in South Yorkshire.

Labour delivering on the economy, child protection and speeding up Windrush payments. It’s just in a week’s work for Labour only you don’t hear about it in the amplification of our Media for RW politics. This is what left wing politics means. Every day!

Reform UK in Kent was supposed to be the flagship, their β€˜shop window’.

Leader Linden Kemkaran has created chaos, losing 7 councillors since May, DOGE finding little and being declared a failure, and is considering raising council tax.

For those who regularly tell me Labour are just Tory lite. They really aren’t. You’re being mugged off by the media who want you to believe that . I can give you multiple examples like this to prove my point. But this is worth a read esp if you’re outside London.

Reform doesn’t have many policies. But it has one :

to cut public spending by Β£274bn.

That’s more than five times Liz Truss's unfunded tax measures.

UK government wins Β£122m pandemic case against Michelle Mone-linked firm over faulty PPE Trial heard 25m surgical gowns supplied by PPE Medpro to protect NHS staff were unusable and could β€˜seriously harm or kill patients’

🧡on Michelle Mone and Covid contracts

Former Tory peer Michelle Mone has called today’s ruling that PPE Medpro must give the taxpayer back Β£122m for supplying dodgy PPE an β€˜establishment cover-up’. Utter nonsense.

Let’s ignore the rhetoric & look at the facts πŸ‘‡

I went with a group of 7 friends and booked through a local company called Albania My Way who were excellent and who tweaked one of their existing tours to meet our needs. Really good pre trip communications, a safe driver, an outstanding guide.

It's lovely. People from Albania are wrongly stigmatised. And I am ashamed to admit I was expecting the area to be much rougher and scruffier than it is. There are pockets of poverty and economic problems, but most countries have those.
