We told you that the Labour government had said this multiple times since they came into power. We now have had them also confirm it AFTER agreeing the deal with the US. Will people believe it now and stop spreading extremist information?

Farage has put out a video spinning racist lies about the UK-India trade deal, designed to whip up hatred against Indians.

The Conservatives' "two-tier tax" claim over the UK-India trade deal is nonsensical. We already have such deals with numerous countries. It's only for some short-term workers. It means companies aren't paying into 2 parallel social security schemes at the same time. And the deal's reciprocal.

Starmer: "The criticism on the double taxation is incoherent nonsense... it's in agreements we've got with 50 other countries... if Farage and Badenoch are seriously suggesting that they're going to tear up agreements with 50 countries, they should say so" Their ideology has bankrupted us

Again, I don't get Badenoch's tactics. Two things. 1. Often focuses on issues she used to support - e.g. Net Zero, so easy comebacks for Starmer 2. Switches around issues too much. Hard to identify what the Conservative vision for the UK is #PMQs

The winter fuel allowance keeps coming up time & time again but when you really think about it, there is an estimated three million pensioners living in million pound plus houses who don’t need it. That will save between £600M & £900M a year. #PMQs

Kemi Badenoch won't admit that the reason our energy bills are so high is significantly because the Tories privatised energy and Cameron 'cut the green crap'. Starmer can't respond because Labour did sod all about it for decades. #PMQs

Unsurprisingly, Deform Ltd has backed down on the Co. Durham council HQ “flag ban” after an outcray over excluding Ukrainian, Pride and even Pride flags. Let's see how many of their other well thought out, sensible and rational policies last this long.

Labour have secured a trade deal with India after the Tories failed over the last three years to agree a deal. This proves that the government are not solely focusing on America like a lot of the media seem to be making out. #Labour #KierStarmer

The Labour government is investing over £100m in over 1000 GP practices for upgrades and refurbishments to create new treatment rooms & better utilise existing spaces to treat more patients. The measures go alongside recruiting more GPs, increased funding, wider NHS App usage & and reducing admin.

Anyone shouts ‘Starmer need to stand up to Farage’ should just shut up,your making an arse of yourself in full view. He’s NOT adopting Reform policies,there aren’t any to copy. He’s continually attacking Farage,you just don’t listen or it’s not up to your standards. YOU are putting Farage up there.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

The UK, Canada & Australia rightly worry about Trump's 100% tarrifs on films made outside the US. Without the overseas tax breaks US filmmakersy get now they won't be able to afford to make big pictures and they'll go bust. Never mind, ordinary Americans won't be able to go to the Movies anyway.

Nigel Farage has said that people receiving disability benefits are 'victims' and he would reduce their number by at least 1m. If you are disabled or receiving any kind of benefit and voting for Nigel Farage. You are going to regret it.

After the local elections this is the current state of play of Councillors in the UK. Don't be fooled by our Farage supporting right wing media. Reform are 1 in the pie chart.
