It’s another conspiracy of silence. Conservatives don’t want to admit they massively increased taxes on high earners. Labour definitely don’t want to say so; they still want to peddle the idea that others, the rich, can pay more. Truth is if we want more spending we’ll all have to pay more.

For anyone stuck in the same mad loop trying to get a home visit Covid jab for housebound elderly folk it seems you can email via this page (the letters/ endless SMS messages say it's via the GP who today after weeks of fobbing off said ' nothing to do with us') www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/...

Seeing him and the conference finally rise to this is quite something. You can see the surge of confidence in the speech as he realises, hey basic antiracist rhetoric is popular and I believe it too! Glad the message has sunk in.
Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!
"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

Gosh. Astonishing indeed. A former Tory Attorney General having to explain the basics of our legal system to a current Tory Shadow Home Secretary.

This is, as usual, excellent by Peter Foster
Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue.
Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
