Richard Tice is just an MP. Does he have the authority to make decisions like this ??

EXC: Rangers legend Graeme Souness has blasted Nigel Farage as a “chancer” who does not care about Scots. He is urging locals in the Hamilton by-election to vote Labour tomorrow.

Graeme Souness rips into 'chancer' Farage in Hamilton by-election Farage will "show up for the cameras, then disappear when it matters". www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

UK MPs call for ban on bottom trawling in protected marine areas. Much needed regulation. Left to themselves capitalists devour everything in sight in pursuit of short-term profits; with little/no regard for the long-term. Govts indulge them.

Er…The answer is in the question.

The Chancellor has announced a record £15.6b in funding for local transport across mayoral regions, which will help millions of people living in our towns & cities. It more than doubles the funding in the coming years compared to recent years & will see improvements to buses, trams & rail services.

Today's announcement from the Chancellor is a specific announcement on transport projects and funding for 9 of the most populous & established mayoral regions ONLY. The Chancellor said that in her speech. She also said there would be more plans for the rest of England & the nations next week. 1/2

A suspected organised crime boss and 5 associates were arrested yesterday for allegedly facilitating hundreds of people illegally into the UK. The people were exploited, made to work illegally in care homes despite no training or skills and made fraudulent asylum claims using fake documents.

Some interesting statements in this Guardian article about the upcoming spending review - though it is still speculation until it is announced. * £300bn more spending than the Tories planned, including: ** £190m more day-to-day spending ** £113bn more in capital spending 1/2

Failed COVID PPE contracts during the pandemic cost UK public purse £1.4bn. £762m lost - PPE over ordered and defective, delays in checking quality. Govt trying to recover £468m. But some got richer. Would govt snoop on their bank accounts, like it will on benefit claimants?

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 14 years of Tory neglect has certainly come home to roost. BTW in 2013 Boris Johnson as London Mayor, closed Belsize Fire Station - sold off for £20m - now luxury flats.

The spirit of Truss haunts us, bouyed by Trumpism and amplified by Russian propaganda and Viktor Orban's corrupt and illiberal regime in Hungary. @rafaelbehr.bsky.social discusses how the spirit of Truss lives on in the political agendas of Farage and Badenoch. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

George Osborne put a line through the UK's Flood Defence Agency. This government is trying to restructure flood defence. Bet the r/wing media won't be telling us this. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The Labour government is consulting on new ways to simplify and speed up the process of planning, applying for funding & construction of flood defence schemes. The current applications for funding are complex and expensive while excluding smaller or poorer councils from even applying for funding.

Water industry in England & Wales needs ‘fundamental reset’, review finds. Pointless review - wasn't allowed to consider public ownership. Strengthening regulation is just a vacuous statement. Govt playing for time. Private sector can't save water industry. Govt needs to face reality.

Surely now is the perfect time to take TW back into public ownership ? BBC News - Thames Water's future in doubt after investor KKR pulls out - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just wondering...does this story from yesterday mean we've already got more UK-EU summit deal benefits than we ever had Brexit benefits?

After 14 years of the Tories, everything is broken Rachel. So pleased you are working with the government to fix one of them.

Once, we were on our way to Rome airport when we realised we had left a bag at the hotel. The driver called the hotel, turned the car around and snatched our bag out of the hands of a member of hotel staff as he drove at breakneck speed down the street.

In a major boost for UK farming, the Scotland and England & Wales have been officially down grades to 'negligible BSE risk'. The government applied to the World Organisation for Animal Health in August 2024 to be re-assessed. Government press release here: www.gov.uk/government/n... 1/2

For interested folk and anoraks like me, here's the Government's Strategic Defence Review. Posting it on as Labour's Comms team don't seem to be around. www.gov.uk/government/p...

If you wish to read the full Strategic Defence Review,you can find it here! It is around 130 pages long! So the government have also produced a two pager which contains key information - I'd suggest reading this first to get an idea of what it's all about before going on to the full document.

In a world where a rogue US President dominates & dictates so much of our politics, these 4 politicians are among those regularly tackling his nonsense in the UK. How often do the broadcasters tell us that? Sign now if u want to hear ALL parties not just one. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
