UKIP/Reform/Farage damaged the economy with Brexit, now destroying the NHS.
The UK is an ageing society, without immigration the economy can't function. Will we ever get an honest debate?

For me, 2025 has felt like a particularly heavy year ... and you might feel the same. So as we head into the holiday season, I wanted to share a few recommendations — books, podcasts, and newsletters — that encourage me, make me think, and remind me how hope begins with action.

Genuinely starting to think the headlines on this story should not be 'EV sales continuing to climb', but 'Petrol car sales fall, demand for diesel models collapses'.

Spot on. The terms of the plan 2 loan are utterly usurious. Notably the budget has not frozen just the threshold for repayments at a marginal rate of 9%, dragging more and more graduates into it, but it also freezes the interest of those loans which is as much as 6.2%! Which is ridiculous!!
I'm constantly shocked (but not surprised) by how little we discuss the additional financial burden placed on young people by the Clegg-Cameron student loan regime.

Some myths, long debunked, refuse to go away. No, there's no 'trickle down effect', Conservatives aren't better with money, & rich people do not run from #WealthTax. Politicians still quoting these myths know better & journalists should. Stop perpetuating the myth. It's fear mongering w/o substance.

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

Instead, we’ve had months of nature-blaming rhetoric and pushes to sidestep environmental law.
This flies in the face not only of what the public wants...but the Government’s own manifesto.
