Economists:But I thought you wanted growth?

Labour : Not that kind of growth. The imaginary kind that comes from 3rd runways, less consumer protection and not solving Social Care.

The Emperors New Growth.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Fuck a duck. It’s like the entire Labour cabinet is addicted to political self harm. Unless they are having a group game of “Hold my beer”.

Now they want to track our kids. 🤦‍♂️

WTAF is wrong with them?

What’s wrong with the BBC?

The story here isn’t the miraculous escape and recovery.

It’s how a woman can get run over in the middle of our capital city, the driver not stop and the police not enough of a fuck to catch him.

It’s a bit weird making this point when we are ~4 years away from an election.

Plenty of time for the electoral landscape to change and not just on the Right.

Maybe. Hate and love are silly words in this context. It’s more nuanced than that, though I agree the volume of thier actions in those spaces have been mostly negative.

Is that 37 including or excluding line rental?
