My grandson (2) and my sister’s 2 great grandsons (1&2) will all benefit from the 30 hours free childcare. Allowing my daughter and great niece to work 3 full days. Both are on minimum wage but the boost to their family incomes is significant. This is the difference with Labour

When you’re a passionate self proclaimed “patriot” like Farage.. nothing.. and I mean nothing.. will stop you exercising your right as an MP to defend Brexit (your baby) in the HOP Brexit Reset Debate Well apart from thinking “bollox to that I fancy a break” and jetting off to the sun instead❗️🤷🏼‍♂️
Image is of Nigel Farage clearly on holiday in a T-shirt and with a drink, in the Sun looking like a beach in the background, although this is not of his current holiday, I think, I think it’s an old photograph

2025: Nigel Farage, "We've never ever ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free" 2012: Nigel Farage, "We need to think about healthcare very very differently. We're going to have to move to an insurance based system of healthcare" And don't forget he got it wrong on Brexit too

In a speech yesterday, Putin approved the US annexation of Greenland, but slipped up and mentioned Iceland, hintng Greenland for the USA, Iceland for Putin. That would give the USSA and Russia joint control of the new "northwest passage", enabled by Global Warming, to explot untapped oil reserves.

The Kremlin officially reiterated its claim that Ukraine has no sovereignty. As I keep saying, peace will be very unlikely with Putin only issuing ultimatums. Russia has been clear in its goals from the very start and appeasement will not work. Russia wants to exterminate Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Russia also holds many Ukrainians prisoner in the occupied territories including families, like my own, with a large amount also held in prisons scattered all over. Ukrainian families have also been repatriated to other parts of Russia in government programs as part of their ethnic cleansing policy.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Not only is beneficial alignment the right thing to do, for growth. It is also the most popular option with voters. "41% say the UK should be more closely aligned with the EU. 20% say less closely aligned." One of the easiest political choices a gov't can be asked to make. ~AA
