The boldest of dreamers and the bitterest of pessimists. Disappointingly sweary.

It seems to me, that the Labour Government has morphed into the very thing they originally established themselves to fight...

#Greens
The #Polanski Factor?

YP is 5 years too late. I was a Corbynista. Proud to have been one & actively fought the good fight BUT he won the leadership 10 years ago, lost 2019 almost 5 years ago. The political landscape is now fundamentally different and the left finally has populist who can cut through with Polanski.

#ECHR
What none of these idiots mention is #NorthernIreland

Leaving the ECHR would violate the The Good Friday Agreement and end up with either NI staying in, whilst the rest of the UK left or being dragged out with all the consequences that would have for peace...

Would leaving the ECHR really 'stop the boats'?

The extent to which leaving the Convention would make a difference to immigration has been greatly exaggerated, argues Lord Sumption

I don't share your vitriol but Jezza's time has past HOWEVER he paved the way for Polanski. The left has been desperate for a home since 2019 and the Greens have a debt of gratitude to pay to Corbyn for enthusing millions that a different way was possible, up for grabs and need to be discussed.

I hear this a lot. It's very selective.

Brown lost more votes and voter share.
Corbyn lost more seats.

The caveat being Brown didn't have his own party, party machinery, establishment and all the press eviscerating him.

#Water
#Privatisation
Anglian, Northumbrian, Southern, Wessex & South East asked to raise bills more than previously agreed by Ofwat.

They sucessfully argued a 36% rise over 5 yrs was not enough to deliver better infrastructure.

Labour has refused to Nationalise Water

Water bills to rise further for millions after appeal

Five water companies win permission for higher bills as they seek more funds to fix outdated infrastructure.

Incredibly, The Telgraph has written a decent article about Britshness Vs Englishness and the conclusion?

Beyond all the tropes and cliches, it's all a mess and no-one really knows...

Mel Stride, let's cut £50bn from the welfare budget translates into: let's shrink the economy by £50bn because no welfare recepient spends their welfare into the real economy.

And this twat earns nearly £100kpa to spout utter shit.

WTAF? Surely more people will see that he's just a performing doll saying thins he thinks will win votes, but are rarely well thought out. I know they want to get rid of Badenough, but is this really the alternative.
