The kind of remark dismissive of environmental concerns one might expect to hear from Nigel Farage.
Still, its nice for business to be able to have a quick chat with the chancellor to clear away pesky environmental regulations.
Jenrick, Hunt, & other Tories also had good relationships with developers, too. Labour lambasted them.
Labour Ministers & MPs are openly 'bought' i.e. corrupt.
They are making Labour unelectable. So, why are Labour's executive & members, Union leaders & members refusing to enforce rules & laws?
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.

Forgive me for straying towards hyperbole here. It is incredible to think we had more coverage of Rachel Reeves crying at work than a former MEP taking bribes from Russia.

Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against the rise of fascism. Pick a side.
Trump posts as though he's typing with the Gauntlet of Infinity, but in actual fact he's doing it with the convenient power of selective dementia.

βWeβre being ourselves in order to highlight the weirdness that others are trying to impose on Portland.

Portland is rubbing off on Chicago. The inflatable animals have arrived at the Broadview ICE detention facility chanting βthis is what democracy looks likeβ
Priti Patel on the person that burnt the Koran - I fundamentally believe in free speech. Thirty seconds later on the Palestinian anti-genocide protestors - these "hate marches" are completely unacceptable.
