Blair kicked off corporate funding for parties. Cameron amped it up as Tory membership collapsed because it was "free money". Freebie Starmer put a rocket on it.

I called her out on socials too. So she came round and took a photo of herself at my door saying she'd come to apologise. Only issue was she hadn't actually rung the doorbell.
She no longer speaks to me because I called her on that too.

According to Ofwat:
(Over in Germany, a big contributor to rising AfD support is opposition to the government's push for heat pumps.)
