With every passing day, Labour find new ways to prove they're no better than the Tories they replaced. This is seriously messed up stuff. Someone needs to go through the Home Office top to bottom, sit every employee down, and explain to them exactly what a HUMAN BEING is.

The government has FROZEN ALL DECISIONS for Syrians applying for asylum or settlement for nearly 6 months😱😱😱 Roughly 7,000 people left in limbo & denied the right to work - this is completely INSANE.

🚨 A statement: Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

Only Labour failed to see this one coming. Our Scottish Government has been asking for a Scottish Visa to help address this shortfall. It didn't have the powers itself and Labour has refused to discuss it. Shocking mismanagement for attempted political gain by the British government.

UK inflation rate (CPI) jumps to 3.5% in April, up from 2.6% in March. Corporate profiteering causes inflation, poverty, misery. Must control price of essentials, levy windfall taxes on profiteers, empower customers to vote on exec pay.

Inflation is up. That's down to government incompetence in permitting excessive price increases in regulated industries, and we'll all pay a price for that as the Bank of England keeps interest rates high. Incompetence on a grand scale is there for all to see. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

New YouGov poll: - 66% would support the UK having closer relationship with the EU - This includes half of both Leave (52%) and Reform UK (54%) voters - Majority (53%) support Britain rejoining the European Union - Six in ten believe Brexit has been more of a failure than a success

Two policy positions that are consistently popular with voters: Net Zero and a closer relationship with the EU. You'd think it was the exact opposite if you only paid attention to the right-wing press. Labour needs to deliver what the nation voted for, not try to placate maniacs and fanatics.

Legitimising far right rhetoric is just doing Farage's job for him. My take in this disastrous political strategy, as a lifelong Labour voter. We need to “take back control”… of The Labour Party. Sack McSweeney and stop this, or step down. youtu.be/k8Z5CYvuptA?...
