Thanks for this, I missed it yesterday.
More gains for Reform then, no surprise after recent events.
I'm amazed Labour are still up in the twenties tbh!

Same

The Greens are doing well on FON polling.

Totally off topic but I cbb starting a thread. What’s the deal with smart meters? I just had someone knock and say I had to take one.

But I don’t think so. Has anyone had that?

We had this a few months ago. DH agreed before I could intervene. I hate them! Sounds crazy, but I feel like there's a little spy in the house. I shoved it in the garage where it can't see me 😂.

I googled back then, its not mandatory and you can refuse. If your supplier is insisting, you can report them to CAB.

Thanks! Dh just told me off! I believed the guy when he said it was compulsory and he booked an appointment.

Just had to ring BG and cancel as dh not happy. Googled and not compulsory. What a palaver.

ETA haha at putting it somewhere else 😬

I am back after my ban that wasn’t a ban 🤣🤣🤣

@Parsley1234! I thought you’d been got. Welcome back 😀

@EasternStandard mw too but not 😇

@Parsley1234 Good to have you back 😁

What a "surprise" 🙄 highest June borrowing figures since 1993!

Borrowing up, no ‘smash the gangs’, taxes going up, growth negative

God I cannot bear Lammy you complete tool on radio 4 just dreadful

They are ALL awful 😖

Yep too arrogant, sneering and clueless to listen to.

I was just thinking of my top 5 worst but then I realised they’re all worse
lammy has to be up there though you’re right @EasternStandard arrogant sneery

Aren't they just 🙄
The treasury have put out some twaddle (thank you for that word Jane) about stabilising the economy. What planet are they on? Four more years of this ffs.

What the..?! Yeh that’s what this is. Unbelievable

I can’t believe many really believe these sound bites anymore…not a lot of evidence of fixing going on…

We are at a dangerous tipping point I fear - that if we don't make changes and quickly, it may be too late to change them at all.

Worth watching - he talks a lot though - you have been warned.

We are at the point where Identity Cards probably need to be raised again - politicians have started making the point that the huge black market economy is a real pull for many illegal migrants.
BBB often makes the point they have a very comprehensive ID system in China.

They've smashed the tax-take and grown the gangs!

Love that 😂 so true!

Ha yep. And ‘further and faster’ on borrowing.

Looks like they’ve forgotten that line and just go for ‘surprising’ and ‘disappointing’ now.

Too idiotic really.

That's a Mrs T quote.
