Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid โ€˜good relationshipโ€™ with developer Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to โ€˜some snails that are a protected species or somethingโ€™

Utterly beholden to lobbyists, staggeringly ignorant and dismissive of the natural world: Rachel Reeves might not look or sound like Donald Trump, but she is behaving very much like him. This government is even more of an ecological hazard than the Tories were.

1. ECHR is nothing to do with EU.

UK arms exports to Israel 'hit record high' in recent months UK Government arms exports to Israel hit a "record high" in recent months, analysis has found.

This is how serious UK government is about a ceasefire in Gaza.
Empty, meaningless words Starmer spouts about peace in Gaza, while supplying the Israeli killers with weapons.
He must be aware Israel doesnโ€™t care about the hostages. Netanyahu wants Palestine.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: itโ€™s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

WM is a cesspit. England has descended into shitholedom. In order for it to heal, the people must tear it down, and start again. Dissolve the union, get rid of the archaic monarchy, and drag itself, into the 21 century. Stop voting for rich fkrs. Stop letting the tail wag the dog.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Never forget October 7th 2023, that fateful day when Israelis were brutally massacred by Israeli tanks and Israeli helicopters and Israeli drones and Israeli soldiers and Israeli bullets, and also by Hamas a bit.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

What you are seeing is a co-ordinated effort by every single member of the Billionaire Media across the Western World, trying to get you to blame immigrants, so you don't blame billionaires.

Don't be fooled.

The effect of increasing the minimum wage but not controlling the price of essentials is that almost everyone will end up on the minimum wage and still be in poverty.

How long until support for independence is made a terrorist offence?
Answer: If that legislation is seen as a vote winner with the English electorate (the voter segment that wins elections)
