Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Two-thirds of English councils have not prosecuted a single rogue landlord in past three years despite 300,000 separate complaints.

Less than 2% of complaints led to any action.

2010-2020 Austerity: 41% cut in enforcement funding, staff cut by a third.

Law without enforcement is a cruel hoax.

Exclusive: Councils prosecuted just 64 landlords despite receiving 300,000 complaints from tenants in unfit homes

Who ordered her to be transferred from Florida where she was serving her 20 year sentence?

I don’t understand why the government keep feeding the press with budget news, followed by U-turns. It does, as a Labour Mp said yesterday, look like they have lost control.

This from Trump is offensive gibberish, and the "anti-Trump" BBC is faithfully parroting every poisonous word.

The Trump administration would like you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead.

I ENTIRELY understand why a party way to the left of Labour needs to exist.

I have NO IDEA why it needs to be Your Party, other than ego.

The Greens are RIGHT THERE. Corbyn will be 78 at the next election. And it's a shambles. Give up, lads.

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

Drives me mad that people talk about Danish immigration policy as a *political* success without bothering to look at the polls.
Aside from the crucial voting system difference, the Social Democrats over this period have haemorrhaged votes to progressive parties and are currently on course for their worst result in 110yrs, while the Green Left are set for their best ever.

The Danish People's Party are currently gaining.
what are the odds that the people in Downing Street briefing this out would also break out in hives at the mere mention of proportional representation?
