I have a list. Don’t make me add to it. Love Granny Weatherwax, Vimes, Smiley, and Poirot in that order. Hoping to spend less time blocking fascists over here.

Exactly. I know there are only 24 hours in a day but we could do with seeing some of the specifics.

The question that should be raised is where did all the revenue go for 14 years? It certainly didn’t go into public services and they borrowed more than any other govt. So who’s got it?

More than two million households living under Reform-run councils face tax rises of £127 million next year. Before the election they promised to bring down council tax by cutting wasteful spending. But Durham, Kent, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire & Lincolnshire are all putting up rates

We keep being told that the
perpetrators of the Huntingdon
abomination are "British-born". OK.
So were the killers at Woolwich
barracks, Southport, Tavistock Square,
Westminster Bridge, Manchester
arena, London Bridge etc etc.
If you insist on denying that this has
anything to do with immigration policy,
I'm afraid you are not arguing in good
faith.

Extremists of right and left eventually meet on the same point of power and control. And fracture.

How much trouble is Rachel Reeves in over rental rule break? - BBC News The PM may have ruled out an investigation but key questions remain about the chancellor's housing rules admission.

Reeves Estate Agent screwed up and apologised to her, end of❗️

Yet they dropped Farage potentially dodging £44K stamp duty like a shot & never reported his OH’s alleged fraud🤷🏼‍♂️

Strongly agree. Also note the changes in public opinion that have given the govt space to criticise both REFuk and Brexit. (I know it’s not as simple as that but it’s Bluesky).

It’s the far right we need to be fighting, not immigrants. Can’t we send them to Rwanda or somewhere?
