There is ofcourse a thread on it.

Yep. Even more spitting than the recent thread about certain attractions offering concessionary tickets to some people.

I know, imagine treating your kids to a biscuit.

Bastarding Labour, trying at least to do something.

They could have cut VAT on cod-liver oil instead. Much healthier for the kids.

People think it because all the media and right wing politicians talk about nothing else. People are forced to conclude it must be of growing importance because they never used to bang on about it so much, ergo they believe it’s increasing. So frustrating.

Really loved the sending up of Robert Jenrick in the HoC yesterday. Pure comedy gold.

"Where are we?, less than two years later, where are we?"

"You're in a different Party"

And

"You used to be over there." quipped Lib Dem MP Max Wilkinson much to the hilarity of the House. Brilliant! 😀

Again? It’s not long since the last lot.

Reform councillors claiming it’s undemocratic that they don’t know how the council works because they didn’t bother to find out. Imagine this but with national government. Car crash doesn’t come close.

Wow.

The ones in Suffolk want 6 months of training before having to actually do anything. I despair.

Dear me.

This is good. Darren Jones is one to watch I reckon. He’s good at this. https://www.threads.com/@zencat24/post/DYmnEqwANta?xmt=AQG0PFSSkk7iWQ4Yd86gAd6sOmUTx1gcbBwclZGuDgdKNlFyX2shbbtmgmyQiFjc7f1h32lD&slof=1

Ffs these morons are just beyond comprehension, bloody they aren’t receiving any public money as they can’t be representing the constituency if they don’t how it works do hope the electorate are being made aware of these total numpties.
I read about those poor sisters last night, I cannot even begin to imagine the sheer scale of grief & loss for the parents & family just so unbelievably sad.

We don't understand what we were elected to do.

It has a familiar ring.

But we are not allowed to call them stupid.

Darren Jones & the rest of them really need to keep doing what he is doing, get the news out themselves as MSM & most journalists won’t & every fucking time a journalist/news reporter calls asylum seekers illegal immigrants they should be immediately corrected & called out.

Me too, The Tories we’re more than happy to decimate the country for fourteen years & wasting billions or giving billions to mates, buts that’s ok because they are Tories & have the Devine right to be our betters.

The greens had a candidate for Makerfield and then they didn't. Apparently they had already discounted one possible after The Times found their social media history.

The Greens and Reform don't have much luck with some of their candidates.

I wonder which party has been up to no good in Tameside?

The Mill, a Manchester-based publication, had investigated claims that individuals were encouraged to stand as independent candidates in the St Peter’s ward election in May to split opposition votes and benefit Labour.

From the Guardian.

Starmer is saying he will campaign for Burnham in Makerfield.

I wonder what the voters in Makerfield will make of that? Will Starmer be a help or a hindrance to Burnham if he campaigns for him?

It’s very gracious and shows why Starmer is a better PM than Burnham could ever be.

Kiss of death. Streeting and Starmer are doing their level best to stitch him up.
