I agree that there should be a requirement to use climate friendly materials and insulation. It appears you only have to use the property.

True. But surely one of the hundreds of “comms” experts can sit Starmer down and get him to actually stand up and argue the flakiness of Farage stand.

Farage needs scrutiny. It won’t come from the media, it has to come from the PM.

I think Luke does talk sense. Personally speaking I love Asian culture. Went to Bradford university and lived in the centre of Leicester and London. Therefore I know that the locals love where they are, but why should they loose their culture because second third or later generations live here?

But they have to have a bogeyman. They are aligning themselves with the right as they are closest to wanting to keep the union.

Ironic that their policies will have exactly the opposite effect.

And the whole media will completely ignore him.

Starmer will learn nothing from it.

That's Nigel "Twelve Jobs, Four Homes and a Chauffeur driven BMW" Farage to you !

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.

Those that want Irish reunification are going the right way about it.

GylesNaMopaleen @gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social · 5h

seeing that there is more chat about reunification in Ireland, post brexit, this might interest some.

TL;DR: brexit accidentally gave us a preview of what reunification might mean, economically. And it looks really good!

We're calling it a "Sochar Brexit"!

("brexit benefit" in Irish)

🧵

screengrab from the ALL ISLAND ECONOMY financial report.

"The Projected Public Finances of the Early Years of a United Ireland
This report calculates the subvention in public finances likely to transfer to “Northern Ireland’ at the time of a United Ireland, based on the most up-to-date UK figures. It is the first peer-reviewed report to calculate the cost of unity over the first ten years, which takes account not only of the subvention, but necessary investment and gradual economic convergence with
the rest of the island. The report breaks down the key financial issues such as pensions, debt, defence spending, UK central costs and taxation to justify this figure and calculates that the cost of the subvention, currently paid by the UK, which will transfer to a United Ireland will be £1.5 billion pa – not the, often quoted, figures of £10b to £14b."

Such logic and simplicity will be lost on the ruling classes.

An eminently sensible suggestion..

I’m sorry to hear about the cancer.

Booked in for both jabs and would take any suggested or offered. Willingly. Also has had the op he is currently on about.

I’m also fortunately not on the spectrum. Nothing to do with any of the above.

RFK is a moron.
