Labour pays £1.5 million rent per year to Prince William for derelict Dartmoor prison.. meanwhile, pensioners are freezing. 1.5 million ÷ £300 = 5,000 winter fuel allowances. Priorities!!!

UK govt to appeal against river pollution ruling won by Yorkshire anglers. But the govt said cleaning rivers, lakes and seas was a top priority. Only 15% of England's rivers in good ecological status. Water companies dump sewage, don't bear cost of cleaning. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Legislators for Hire Between 2010 and 2024 UK MPs spent a total of 50,000 hours on second job, made millions. Missing from parliament, constituent/public interests neglected for personal enrichment . MPs must act exclusively as MPs, that means no second jobs. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/mps-...

MP’s second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned.

People in the UK are asking why there are so many floods? We allowed new houses to be built on flood plains; water meadows are being paved and water companies have failed to invest in sewerage and dark water drainage. Then there’s climate change. Next question.

The WASPI betrayal is even more bitter as I knew the Tories were Allan B'stards and expected no better. I had hoped the Labour party would at least abide by an independent ombudsman decision. Older women are a 'burden' on the taxpayer. Thanks Keir! Will never vote Labour again.
