Current political composition of Nottingham City Council is 43 Labour, 6 Peoples Alliance, 2 ex Labour independents and 4 so called independents in Clifton. What's the betting that to get re-elected, the 6+2 will join Green and the 4 will join Reform before next year's elections?

Reform’s manifesto would spell financial ruin for the UK. They simply aren't a serious party of government. Their proposals on income tax cuts alone would cost about a third of the entire NHS budget...🧵(1/6) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Cutting Corp Tax will increase the revenue not decrease it. This has been proven time and again! Plus cutting spending not Net Zero will save way more than the cut to income tax for the lower paid It’s this thinking that has ruined the Conservative Party and driven so many of us away

UK now ideally placed to join Canada, Oz, Singapore in doubling down on free trade system that has crushed poverty and boosted wealth in our own countries - and world over. My column: thetimes.com/article/b6bff0…

Oh no, Starmer says he's going to tackle Trumps tarrifs with an "industry policy" - how to make a bad situation worse. 😮

This is what happens when you don’t stand up & fight for decent liberal values - the so called populists - the mad conspiracy theorising, hard right, nasty people take control & get elected. We must not let this happen. in our country.
Farrukh@implausibleblog

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refuses to take a question from a British journalist saying, “Ok we don't give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country” I guess Keir Starmer hasn't told her about the special relationship 🤷‍♂️

What has this got in common with heat pumps? They are both ugly, impractical, a waste of money, and yet forced on energy suppliers and customers in a misguided attempt to reduce energy consumption.

President Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is the democratically elected leader of Ukraine who bravely stood up to Putin’s illegal invasion. Under my leadership, and under successive Conservative Prime Ministers, we have and always will stand with Ukraine. President Trump is right that Europe needs to pull its weight - and that includes the UK. We need to get serious. The PM will have my support to increase defence spending - there is a fully funded plan to get to 2.5% sitting on his desk. That should be the bare minimum. Starmer should get on with it, get on a plane to Washington and show some leadership. We cannot afford to get this wrong.

I'm beginning to think that Rachel Reeves might be forced out of office due to the cv and expenses allegations.

Such a shame that the Conservatives have lost Lee Anderson and Anna Soubry, there is room in the Conservative Party for both.
