UK unemployment rate sees surprise fall to 4.9%

Why is it always a surprise to
Our media????

In the last couple of weeks good economic data has been quietly announced. In my view it’s because any minute now the Iran war will impact and destroy all the good work achieved by Labour. The media don’t want you knowing all the good stuff

Average cost of medical treatment in the UK Labour VS Reform

Farage wants to charge to access the NHS & give tax cuts to billionaires.

#NeverVoteReform

REFORM UK COUNCILS: what you get When you vote Reform.
Here’s just a single example from each council. This is documented. This is real. This is what happens when Reform wins.
Worcestershire: Raised council tax 9%.

Starmer made a mistake over Mandelson. He wasn't (perhaps) officially told about the failed vetting but would have been aware of Mandelson's past.
Unlike the Tories whose governments were rotten with lies, deceit and (PPE) scandals that cost lives, this issue is not that, so can we please move on.

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

The Mail's poll showing 86% in favour of rejoining the EU is just the latest in an unbroken line of polls and surveys with similar results.

A new generation of young adults want in, many of the old Leave voters have died and the rest now clearly see the damage Brexit has caused.

#RejoinEU

Daily Mail’s Brexit poll spectacularly backfires Not what the Mail expected...

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy.

"As time went on, this number grew to 84%."

Despite the media desperate to destabilise a Labour govt they have NOTHING on which to do that .Starmer was NOT told, so now they say yea but he should not have appointed him.. except the very SAME media was praising the appointment and opposition parties had no complaints then ! Don’t let them win!

Got to give credit to Starmer for owning up to mistakes, taking full responsibility, apologising & explaining everything clearly from start to finish.

Tory PM’s would never do any of that, just brush everything under the carpet like it was nothing.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Not much political judgement going on here if Isabel Oakeshott does not realise that Farage & Tice are senior members of the British establishment. Relevant here is that Oakeshott is the partner of Richard Tice jumping to the defence of Tice & his tax evasion.

Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !

Reform UK’s Richard Tice allegedly failed to pay £100,000 in corporation tax Deputy leader ran shell companies that reportedly did not pay tax on profits from 2020 to 2022, during which time his firm donated £1.1m to party

Will Reform deputy leader Richard Tice now resign over fresh allegations about nudging another £100,000 tax after he demanded Angela Rayner quit over £40,000?

Changed his tune.

"A long career with multiple businesses is bound to feature some errors."

Daisy Cooper said her party would invest in services and improve transport, if it were part of a coalition controlling the county council.
Cooper warned that Reform-led authorities in other parts of the country had been "consumed with scandal and chaos".

Hi Nigel Farage, don’t forget what Nigel Farage said about Peter Mandelson.

BBC News December 2024:
‘Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.’

I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

Reality:

The Tories nearly trebled National Debt, gave us the highest tax burden for 70 years, yet slashed spending for 14 years, including cuts to the military, compounded things with their Brexit disaster and useless deals like Badenoch's CPTPP, leaving Labour to sort out their mess.

🚨Starmer retains his March lead ahead of Farage and Badenoch, on who Brits think would be the most capable Prime Minister. #UKNewd

An investigation from the Sunday Times has alleged Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax on shell companies.

How quickly we forget. The liar boris Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary by Theresa May having failed the vetting process.

Confirmation by Lewis Goodall the media is and always has been biased against Labour

Others have posted this but it needs to be shared far and wide. Goodall's response is telling, it's victim blaming, it's akin to women being told not to wear short skirts and if they do they're asking for it. Absolutely appalling but not really news to many of us who are sick of the media.

I know I say things and think differently
than most people. I also repeat myself a lot.
I don’t do this to bring attention to myself
but to help others better understand my life

someone else overcome their own battles.

The EU now requires all Mobile Phones to be sold with easily replaceable and standardised batteries, as they used to be.

From 2027 they all will be again, in Europe.

Nigel Farage is listed as one of the top misinformation spreaders in the U.K. on X and is only beaten to the top spot by Tommy Robinson.
#NigelFarage

The Press knew. They laughed.

The Tories knew. They didn’t care.

All I see now is hypocrisy.

Brexit didn't stop immigration or fix the economy.

Farage told his supporters to back Boris Johnson in the 2019 General Election, and he fully supported Liz Truss's budget himself.

So why are Reform MPs telling us that the wrong Brexit was delivered and complaining about Britain being broken?...
