‘He always retains plausible deniability... but he sends a dog whistle to every racist in the country.’

Shabana Mahmood decodes Nigel Farage’s ‘clever’ tactics.

Nothing at all do to with incompetent statements that they would allow homeless people to live in 11 Downing Street and Chequers and many other things in the weeks before a GE

I pay my 14 y/o babysitter the Livibg Wage Foundation Living Wage as to do otherwise would be hypocritical.

National minimum wage was, at the time of introduction, higher than most people at the bottom end earned and you had everyone and his dog claiming that it would be catastrophic for business so it had to be set low to build reassurance. No government can dictate what a future government can do.

The last Labour government introduced, then increased the national minimum wage, introduced Sure Start centres, reduced waiting lists from 18 months to 18 weeks, reduced GP waits from 2 weeks to 2 days, record low A&E waits, free nursery for 3&4year olds, introduced the Equality Act...

Sorry, must have had had a typo on calculator. He did have all and sundry challenge him as leader

Where did you learn maths? Starmer's vote fell by 36%, not half. Due to being Leader also had double the number of challengers with only the Greens increasing in number of votes.

There are many flaws to this. One i think may be overlooked is where the claimant has someone else's money in their account, such as where they do shopping for a neighbour, the money is paid out and reimbursed by bank transfer. This would not be explained on the statement.

Looks like photoshop to me and I've got no reason to defend her.

Yes, all good and optimistic now. My fight to get back in the cab is almost over. Hope you're good too

@grudd.bsky.social great to see RMSs finest on here.

I have started collecting names for #FBPE Starter Packs and Top 500/1000 follower league and will do daily follow back posts.

Like and/or Repost in you would like to be added.

This is be opt-in only.

He still pays his season ticket. The donation is the upgrade to the box. I have no problem with that.

The pay rise doesn't equal £8m per month, let alone day

I left the party over Iraq, rejoining under Miliband in 2015. This is nothing like that.

It's as bad here too?

I find it a fine line when to turn on LBC. I find 9:58 to be the sweet spot with James O'B doing his prelim then.

This was nothing about pay, it was about safety and terms and conditions. Drivers were always going to accept a reasonable (but notably below inflation) pay deal.

Given up X. It's a cesspit now. Hoping to connect with people on here now.

The last time a Prime Minister and Chancellor ignored the financial impacts of their policy, we had a huge increase in interest rates which are now costing me £500 per month. Sensible, careful management is what's needed.
