The Tory plans look like a fund raising beauty contest for vested interests and are often deeply unpopular. They believe that they can get to power through hyped-up discontent with the govt and talking about how white one needs to be. Rather cynical and not a testament to a functioning democracy.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

This is dangerous talk, he should be reprimanded for it.

They should just officially rename themselves the United Islamic Kingdom and get it over with.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Piddington Parish Council - of the anti-asylum 'village that roared' fame - appears to have been flying (or endorsing flying) drones over a local gypsy & traveller site, their July minutes suggest
38. Widnell Lane Gypsy/Travellers site
Reports suggest that the land immediately adjacent to the permitted site is
being developed and the number of pitches has increased significantly. It was
agreed that the activities would be reported to the CDC Planning Enforcement
team, and they would be sent copies of the drone footage.
