And they're calling it... CLEVISTRY. On the one hand he's a strong candidate on paper, on the other hand he's a total eejit in practice, so who's to say how it will turn out for him.

Having civil servants at your disposal to do this kind of thing but preferring whatever freebie Mega Evil Corp Inc gave you is really something for a government minister.

Was out doing some leafleting for the Greens in Holborn & St Pancras and on my way home discovered the Rejoin candidate seems to be leafleting Lime bike baskets, which is one way of chasing the youth vote I suppose.

What she is saying is completely mad, absolutely not the view of the average person in the street and it's insane that we are seeing these views regularly expressed because the right wing and media have collectively decided they are bored of a cordon sanitaire.

I met Martin at a club last year and he was completely off his tits and was laser focussed telling me about renting a house in the Old Town specifically for orgies. He then just fell asleep mid-conversation. 10 minutes later, he was back up, powdered up and dancing like a loon. What a hero!

Bristol Central Constituents! I want to take your renting experiences to the Prime Minister. Today I’ve launched the Bristol Central Renters’ Survey to get hard data on the reality of renting in our city. Use the link below to make your voice heard… forms.gle/q7QTeYrmNexG...
The image has a picture of Carla on the right-hand side with the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background. Superimposed on the image is a clipboard that reads 'Bristol Central Renters Survey 2026'. At the bottom of the image, it says "I want to hear from you" This image is predominantly a large clipboard graphic that reads: 

"If you: 
> Live in Bristol Central
> Rent Privately
> Have 5 minutes to spare 

Then I want to hear from you. 

Please fill out my short survey so I can take your experience of renting to the Prime Minister. 

Link in Bio. "

Will keep boringly saying this (no disrespect to OP): it's not a health surcharge. It's not hypothecated to the NHS; you can't choose not to pay it and thereby eschew healthcare. You could equally call it an education or roads surcharge. It's using the NHS's sanctified status to rip off immigrants.
