Tell you what Jim.
If the UK has been colonised by migrants, come back, pay your fucking taxes and support the country you purport to love.
No? What’s that? You’re happy in Monaco where they don’t impose personal taxes on their residents?
Funny that.
Tax dodging, unpatriotic racist.

I don't do party politics on here and you can have your own opinion of Starmer - good or bad - but what is undeniably the case is that Westminster journalists became massively invested in a hyped-up narrative of their own devising and debased political commentary in so doing.

Reform UK will face a police investigation in Gorton and Denton after admitting that it sent out letters from a “concerned neighbour” which did not state that they had been distributed and funded by the party.
Greater Manchester police confirmed it had received a report about the breach of electoral law and said it would investigate. The Electoral Commission said the omission was a matter for the police, stressing that failing “to include an imprint in candidate election material is an offence.” Continue reading...

One of Scotland’s most celebrated rock bands, Deacon Blue, say they are “appalled” that one of their greatest hits is being used by Reform UK’s new Scottish leader to bolster his party’s “poisonous rhetoric”.
Malcolm Offord quoted at length on Monday from the group’s song Dignity at his first major speech since he was announced as Reform UK’s first Scottish leader, three months before a crucial Holyrood election in which the party is expected to win up to 18 seats. Continue reading...

Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.
