And yet many black people voted for him at the last election. Hopefully they have realised the error of their ways and won't be so easily duped next time.

USA was 31st in education in 2024. If the rich can keep the poor from having a good education, it is easier to feed them propaganda. It's easier to tell them things and have them believe it.
Same is happening in the U.K. if you want a good education you will be landed with debt. Keep ‘em stupid.

Unbelievable! Abolishing stamp duty only helps homeowners while benefits for the unfortunate are being cut. One in five people already live in poverty after 14 years Tories since 2010 #UK
Brexit and Tories ended the UK?

This lot are trying to normalise racism.

But that’s not the Britain I know... and our Giga Poll of 45k shows that. Diversity is its strength, not something to fear or smear. Some people, desperate for power, will say anything.

They broke Britain!

Farage, Trump, Brexit… and 50% tariffs on our steel. Workers pay the price while the guilty play the hero.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

From Peter Kellner's latest substack:

Of 560 Labour voters present and recent past (switched since '24), *not one* said any of the following when asked about gov's best achievements

Some obv will be conscious of these things, but Labour still has a big problem, he writes: "voters aren’t hearing"

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

He hasn't a Scooby doo. Just make sure the flags are flying to deflect from the incompetence.

DISGUSTING HATRED!
Comedian Rosie Jones and TV presenter Lee Peart have spoken out after being subjected to what they described as an ‘ableist and homophobic’ attack while travelling by train.
This is the type of HATE AND INTOLERANCE being AMPLIFIED....
