I'm pretty sure he won't, as he is misrepresenting free speech; only his own speech should be free, not others'.

I suppose some people will be happy or not depending on how much trust they have in their councils.
A bill to reform bus services in Wales was passed by the Senedd yday.
The Bus Services (Wales) Bill hopes to transform the way local bus services are planned and delivered across Wales, giving councils a bigger say in how services operate.
Bus services will be "brought back into public control."

This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally.
Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.

Abolutely brilliant! So many people with young families from all walks of life and society really benefitted from the Sure Start scheme and hubs. In the long run it was proven that they saved money and lives while helping communities bond.
Personally, I know they really helped me with my eldest.

You may have missed that the Labour government is setting up these new hubs - a rebranded & modernised version of Sure Start!
The latest announcement is that from April they will act as a one-stop-shop for SEND support, & speech & language services!
Great stuff from Labour!
