Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg Reform want to be obstructed by council workers, but they have to try first

Nigel Farage wasn’t telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform claim they were obstructed. There’s only one problem: they never made any inquiries.

I know plenty of politicians 'working classify' their backgrounds, but this from Jenrick is taking the piss.

His father's linked in is here: uk.linkedin.com/in/bill-jenr...

He was a managing accountant who ended up as the Managing Director of Cannon Industries

Tory Conference debate on free speech. You see? Sometimes being "cancelled" is a mercy.

This is hilarious as Aldridge and Brownhill are 99.9% white so he wouldn’t have seen a black/brown face in either town! Brownhills is the place where they’re flying lads of England/union flags the place is dreadful just like honest Bob .

Lots of people asking about the Government's prospects for recovering the Β£120m from Barrowman/Mone/their companies

Short answer: I don't know. I'm not an insolvency specialist. No clue how the Β£120m was paid out to them from PPE Medpro

So I have no technical answer

But...

I can understand why, I use the Chester rd a lot but live in one of the rural villages. It makes me cringe every time I pass the island.

Think this is Brownhills I think the locals are having a breakdown lots of folk driving over the painted crosses on the islands to try to obscure them. They voted for a kipper cllr once he didn’t attend any meetings. I feel grubby just driving through!

In a lecture many years ago the lecturer mentioned Thaddeus of Warsaw and I queried Walsall as I lived in a Walsall WS postcode and was puzzled as I’d never heard of him.

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty.

Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

Your regular reminder that over a lifetime, people born in 1956 will each receive on average Β£291,000 more from the welfare state than they paid in, compared to Β£132,000 for people born in 1996 (h/t Resolution Foundation)

Just something to consider next time you hear β€œI’ve paid in all my life…”

If the proposed changes to lower the voting age go through and this Parliament runs to its full 5-year term, then my daughter - now 12 - will become one of the youngest women ever to vote in a UK general election.

Her name is Emmeline.

It’s ridiculous the sound about the WFA I will get it again but my husband won’t we’re both on good pensions I struggle to see why it’s needed. And yes I’m waiting for the backlash! I suppose it depends what you spend your money on. I don’t drink or smoke and never have.
