Despite our Media consistently turning a blind eye to all of ReformUK’s scandals (as they waffle hysterically about Burnham & Manchester City) Perhaps people have noticed that Reform Councillors rarely stick around to do the job. They’re suspended, they resign, they become independents etc

Tories to hand free childcare to those earning more than £100,000, would cost £700m to the public purse. Previously, they pledged cuts to universal credit, housing benefit, support for the long term unemployed. Continuation of the Tory war on less well-off.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Brexit was a catastrophic mistake. If it weren't for Polanski we would still have Keir Starmer refusing to allow it to be discussed. Polanski is needed in Parliament to continue to make the case for a strong relationship with the EU.

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population
