Is the whole China spying thing simply an embarrassing story for the Tories
because the alleged spies were so close to key Tory figures and leaked internal Tory info?
and so it's simply a game to direct attention away from the Tories and try & blame the Labour government?

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

A reminder of the positives of a Labour government.
Pension credit: thanks to a Labour campaign in autumn, the data in February showed over 117k new people receiving pension credit - an increase of almost 46k on the year before, up 64%.
This gives people up to £4,300 a year, averaging £3,900.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

You probably read this weekend the government was watering down the workers rights bill.
Having looked at the amendments, there’s no weakening of anything, in most cases it’s been toughened up.
