    13 hotels owned by the same people, every one of these hotels full to the brim, security at all of these clearly another huge government contract. NHS arriving like phoning a Deliveroo.
    If someone told you 20 years ago that hundreds of hotels in the country would be full like this at the expense of tens of millions of pounds you look at them like they were stark raving mad.
    Just remember, when voting at the next election, your hard earned money you pay in tax is going to pay for all of this, business owners are getting rich off your money.

    I saw a positive news story about Angela Rayner this weekend. It says she openly called Prince Andrew a Nonce and said she didn't want him stepping in for King Charles.

    "Ms Rayner was said to be wanting to remove Andrew as one of the counsellors of the state.

    She allegedly said: “I'm not going to vote to keep that nonce on… I can't go back to my constituency and say, 'Yeah, I support that'.”"

    So even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

    The tool makers son is now laughing at the very people who voted him in. The idiots will still lap it up, they're too dumb to understand, but this is where this country is right now, price rises in every single sector of life and numpty bollocks is telling you he's gonna put more money in your pocket.
    Jesus wept, you'd laugh at the sheer brass neck if it wasn't so serious.

    Yeah, Angela Raynor has signed off a 10% increase for her chum Susan Hinchcliffe at Bradford Council.

    I see lots of focus at the moment appears to be going on another "Lockdown rules breach" which just diverts us from serious things like calling this shyster out on his broken pledge regarding council tax, takes us away from the fact a 15 year old child was murdered in school yesterday, and how our economy is going down the pan and we haven't even seen the impact of the increase in NI ER or the lowering of it's allowance per person which sees and extra £4,500 taxed at 15% when that figure was zero until 5th April 2025.

    We do not have serious politics in the UK. I mean the SNP are looking at banning Cats.

    I'd love to talk to this *@?$ in real life, I really would. I'm no Tory fan, but for the last 10 years at my company, I've got a pay rise in April and a Christmas bonus. This year, due to Labour's increase in national insurance, a number of our clients pulled out. I got no Christmas bonus in December, and I was on the phone with the owner last week, who has always talked with a straight bat, he said it's the first year I can't give you a rise above inflation. This is a guy who is Labour through and through, and even he's not happy. Between that and the increase in council tax and my young family are considerably worse off under this government this year, so he can absolutely go feck off and jump off the nearest bridge.

    It's gaslighting of the highest order, and what are the media focused on? His voice coach and her whereabouts 5 years ago. Can the grown ups please enter the building please.

    It was their chance to put the finishing blow into a terminally wounded Tory party and they end up stabbing themselves. We can debate about the ins and outs till the cows come home but one thing will always take priority, getting the economy growing. Without that everything else is pointless, as Wilsden alludes.to in his post. His company now cutting back on what they give out as it's taken off them by the politics of envy that is Keir Starmers Britain.
    Having Reeves in charge is akin to letting Edin Rahic run a professional football club.

    But he promised not to tax the working man, then when asked to clarify a working man he couldn't, similar to not being able to identify a man ffs this guy is going to do a lot of damage in the next 4 years, scrapping the clause that the Tories brought in that if you entered the UK illegally you could never claim British citizenship and many more.

    He's finished Dave, the man has lost the trust in the people as have the general public in his party. Now damaged goods beyond repair in my opinion, it's been excuse after excuse as they renege on their campaign promises. I guess we should have known better, quite obvious they were gonna go after the working man/woman, they always do. I hate the Tories with a passion but this lot in power now actually boil my piss, the rise in NI employer contributions did it for me. No way back after that. You still get the ones with a vested interest/grifters kissing their arseholes but yeah Labour are finished credibility wise.

    I emailed Robbie Moore the other week with regards the the grooming gangs and according to the attached video Labour were complicit in what was happening certainly in South Yorkshire, and got a similar reply (and due to parliamentary protocol) it seems unless your in said MPs constituency they can't reply, I wonder if this is new legislation as I got several replies from Phillip Davies when he was the MP for Shipley.

    This man spent three weeks on remand because a Labour politician made accusations he had made racist remarks. Thankfully justice did indeed see through this utter shit show but this was done on Starmers watch, he is responsible for this madness.
    The sooner he goes and this Labour government the better.

    He was charged with 2 other men who both pleaded guilty at the time.

    I said long ago that some of these things won't get past a jury, and when Ricky Jones goes the same way people like Lucy Connolly will look daft for pleading guilty.

    The Lucy Connolly one, something weird about that one. I can see people from impoverished backgrounds taking advice from unknown sources but she had a Husband in Tory politics and clearly wasn't short of a bob or two, I remember her daughter was doing well in the golf world, don't get that on a.scumbag estate. Still don't understand the reason behind the guilty plea unless she and her Husband were expecting a slap on the wrist
    It's wrong what she said but this idea of jail sentences for saying something others may find offensive.has never say right with me and that's the whole idea of free speech. There's a lot of things I don't agree with that are said but I'm not out there asking for folk to be locked up as it leaves us in this very situation where a politician decides what can and can't be said which then goes to a pointless trial costing thousands.

    An interesting correspondence from his defence solicitor. Even appealed to the CPS that the case should have never got this far but the CPS wouldn't back down. The fact a jury took just 17 minutes to dismiss this madness should raise serious concerns as to who advised the CPS to carry on with it being clear there is an ulterior motive behind this. Also questions need to be asked of Labours stance on this as it seems someone working for their party was behind this stupidity.

    To be honest, the left of Labour have never forgiven Starmer for taking over and kicking out Corbyn. Some idiots to this day seem to believe that Corbyn was unfairly treated. That tool Owen Jones still kisses Corbyn's arse.

    That was also at a time Labour's membership's skyrocketed because people got behind Corbyn but this popularity was in members only, it didn't go far beyond the paid up member. Which is something for Reform to take note of with their membership numbers. It's actual votes on the street you have to reach out to, not the already converted.
