Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Labour are tackling ground rents associated with leasehold properties.
Far too many people are seeing ground rents increase at extortionate rates - some doubling every few years!
Here is the PM telling us more!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

Here's a tip. ICE has reportedly been faking and switching license plates on cars, so if you see ICE run their plate through www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and if the year, make, and model don't match, report them to your local and state authorities.
Don’t forget to take a picture for evidence.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.
