Another tossing away of my vote by Labour in their stupid capitulation to lobbying. Harming us all. All the car companies would spend the money to have cars to sell if the alternative is no market. It's so stupid. Stinks of being bought by big oil. I'd bet on follow the money.

Perhaps the Conservatives, Mr Holden, shouldn't have let the roads go to dangerous ruin for 14 years rather than this severe bollocks of trying to make out it's the current Government's fault. It's far more expensive doing late repairs not to forget the accumulated harm.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

As usual, distorting, misleading, deceptive nonsense from Farage. Trump is no one's ally except his own. And would only be happy with favourable lies in line with his lies about the insurrection/coup he attempted on that Jan 6th. Does Farage beleive Trump's lies? Or worse, repeat known lies?

To claim the ONS trusted figures are so unreliable faker Farage must surely have a reliable source to share? Or how would he be able to know? Simple fact, he has nothing or he'd show his working rather than vaguely spread the fresh manure that he does have. Farage, it appears, lies again.
Part of paragraph that reads "includes incidents that haven't been reported to the police and is unaffected by changes in how crime is recorded. It is unclear what Farage's claim that it is 'completely false data' is founded on."
