    Total arrogance - Ministers are forcing changes on our area which they KNOW local people don't want. But they think they know best. The minister claims there is "cross party support" - in reality there is cross party opposition!

    Labour already increased taxes by ÂĢ105 billion a year compared to Conservative plans- that's ÂĢ1500 per person. But here they go again - "asking for a little more"

    Why is life unaffordable???? -You did a ÂĢ24 billion tax rise which cost ÂĢ500 for someone earning just ÂĢ13,000. -Ed Miliband's Net Zero drive has jacked up energy bills by ÂĢ300. -You massively increased youth unemployment Look in the mirror!

    Replying to @LukeTryl
    Diverging fortunes in leader approvals. Badenoch has positive net approval for the first time on +3, the first party leader to do so since summer 2024 & tying with Burnham. But Farage drops to his lowest approval since the election -24. Davey is -6, Polanski -19, Starmer -42.

    Get ready for SUPER "taking out the rubbish day" this Thursday. Not just the end of the parliamentary year but the end of the Starmer government. Who knows what bad news will be buried.

    ðŸšĻNEW: One of Keir Starmer's last acts will be a massive expansion of 'work of equal value' pay claims that are already bankrupting local councils to cover race too. All this will do is cost taxpayers and consumer more, and encourage divisive identity politics in the workplace.

    If they get ILR they can then claim citizenship a year later and get benefits - I still can't believe Burnham will just crumble and allow this.
