Obscene wealth when there is so much poverty in the world. Weโ€™ve got it so wrong.

How deluded. Where is her moral compass? All those amazing doctors, nurses & medical staff who gave their lives to save others.
Shame on you Nadine.

Cue soft & sympathetic voice followed by bollocks, excuses & defence.

CDC are world renowned for public health research & initiatives & always will be.

The idiots who serve to question science without evidence or foundation will be found out in years to come.

Please donโ€™t give us that H&S feeble excuse. Wet tattered flags & LED bulbs pose no fire risk.
Quite happy though for you to rip them all down & incinerate them.

One CEO earns ยฃ1m salary, 100 people earn ยฃ20k. They have an average salary of ยฃ30k.

Average/mean salary means nothing.

Why is Reform suddenly worried about womenโ€™s safety? Nigel Farage is using attacks on women to stoke his anti-migrant agenda, while turning a blind eye to the real crisis of violence against women in the UK. Weโ€™re fighting back.

As for the Reform woman debating with Zak still using the cheap political ploy โ€˜save our women & kidsโ€™!

Thank you. Iโ€™ve learnt something today!

The analogy, which compares this kind of opponent to a pigeon, suggests the person will knock over the "pieces," "crap on the board," and then fly away claiming victory.

I sometimes miss the challenge of debating with the โ€˜ill informedโ€™. Iโ€™m sure my comments made v little difference but it was great fun.

When reality bites: the rapid rise and chaotic fall of Reform UK in Cornwall Resignations, suspensions and infighting lead to party losing crown of highest number of seats in the county

It was purely & simply a protest vote in Cornwall. Councillors elected for wards which were the other end of the county to their homes.
Add to that, most of them have no idea or interest in governance. As for Nolan โ€ฆโ€ฆ.. whatโ€™s that!

Well said. To mount just one case takes 100โ€™s of hours which LAโ€™s donโ€™t have. That said, there are notice powers under the HHSRS that could be used to better effect.

And whilst this all sounds straightforward, Landlords that rent poor quality homes are devious & not easy to pin down.

I suppose they were humping? Oh no, couldnโ€™t have been, it was a blue not a humpback.

And we need to tow Cornwall out into the Atlantic a bit & Build a bridge. Weโ€™ll let Blue Skyโ€™ers in & anybody wearing/packing a flag will be sent back to Clacton.
