Cameron wanted to have solar panels and a wind turbine on every new build. Every blamed developers for persuading him to drop the idea. But think about it . Developers had nothing to lose - just a cost through to them. The Energy companies were the real losers long term so blame their lobbying
Thatcher’s decision to sell off council houses removed from the marketplace the competition to private landlords and removed the market price regulator. Was this decision made to benefit the occupiers of the council houses or was it done to benefit private landlords by removing competition?
The five have not been charged with anything so Police bail was the only option. Thompson had been charged and pleaded not guilty ( despite filming himself committing the offence - what a bellend) in court. He was probably remanded in custody due to previous record and risk of him doing a runner
Are all the many politicians and ex military people pushing for the immediate doubling of defence spending warning that we couldn’t defend ourselves against a Russian attack? The whole of Europe lies between us and Russia can’t beat Ukraine let alone NATO without the USA
But I'm sure Farage is delighted with himself.
Two days ago he was in hiding, terrified of being exposed as a financial conman, and he's rubbish at answering questions about money.
Today he's back in his comfort area as a shit-stirring racist loudmouth.
I feel I must apologise for posting several times that Lisa Nandy was missing in action over the lack of Ofcom taking GB News and other media outlets over their overt bias towards Reform. The minister actually responsible for Ofcom is Liz Kendall which explains everything
Is it me or are the media reporters shouting questions at cabinet ministers entering No 10 a bunch of halfwits. They know they aren’t going to get an answer so WTF. Not surprised when Uriah Mason was doing it but then Beth Rigby interrupts Sophie Ridge so she can be filmed shouting fatuous questions
Suggestions for Starmer’s kings speech pt 2
Implement Levinson 2
Legislate to make social media platforms ‘publishers’ and subject to rules (see above)
Tax multinational companies on turnover before offshoring profits.
Tax social media companies on their turnover before offshoring profits
My starting suggestions for Starmer’s Kings Speech:-
Equalise Cap Gains, Dividend Tax with Income Tax rate
Reinstate tax threshold inflation indexes
Grant oil and gas extraction licenses in North Sea for tax revenues ring fenced to spend on UK grid improvements
Agree unrestricted EU trade deal
Just wondering if Starmer and the Chief Rabbi had issued a joint statement condemning Isreal for its activities in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebonon then there may not have been the rise in anti semitic sentiments that have arisen due the idiots conflating Israeli and Jewish people
Looks like the Blairites are out to get Starmer now he has started to drift back to more leftish views. Once McSweeney and Mandleson were sacked and Trump was rebuffed they saw their influence waning so straight away Blair and Robertson etc start to be openly critical of Starmer policy.
Why do Sky, BBC and other MSM news outlets keep treating Trump as though he is a sane, coherent, and truthful person and treat his insane outpourings as worthy of reasoned discussion and debate.
For once I agree with Trump in that Starmer is not Winston Churchill, a fact we should be grateful for. However Trump is not any sort of President of the USA.
So according to the Tories, Fagash and the MSM incl BBC Keir Starmer is a shameful example of a Prime Minister for not joining USA and Israel in bombarding Iran when the USA don’t even know why they are doing it in the first place. WTF
The BBC should make their two ‘star’ political commentators, Kuenssberg and Mason, sit down and watch how a true professional , Victoria Derbyshire, doesn’t allow Reform’s chief bullshitter, Zia Yusuf, to answer a question he wants to answer and not one he was asked.
So Trump’s DoJ release a few more Epstein files in which Trump rarely gets a mention but throws all the attention on everyone but him. Those people needed to be exposed but Congress needs to keep pressing for full release of the files otherwise Trump gets away with it again .
🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY GREENLAND & STAY LOUD
DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥
When you realise the the largest % of house construction costs is the price of the land and yet developers are still retaining ownership of what you have actually paid for.
Developers will then sell off the rights to collect the ground rent to specialist financial organisations.
PURE GREED. STINKS
Sorry for the length of this but everything concerning greed in the housing market makes my blood boil. We bought our house 30 yrs ago with 968 yrs left on a 999 yr ground lease. The rent is fixed at £19pa with no annual increases. The ground rent always seemed a rip off but not significant.
Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.
So Trump says they you shouldn’t take a gun to a protest or you could be shot.
And yet he pardoned all the armed insurrectionists who took part in the Capitol Hill riots of 6/1/2021.
Mind you he did say the despite the evidence everyone saw Trump said none of them were armed

The grovelling lick spittle bends the knee to his trans Atlantic masters on the Neo Con far right wing of American politics.
He’s no patriot, he’s a puppet prepared to sell anyone out if the price is right.
Just watched Mark Carney speaking at Davos and was highly impressed with what he said and the manner in which he said it. He told it like it is and for people not to expect a return to the ‘old rules based order’. Collaboration between like minded counties was vital to survival - not appeasement 
I have previously said that Fagash does not want to be PM as it would involve a serious reduction in both his income and freedom to go where he wants when he wants. Today saw the anointing of the heir apparent, Honest Bob Jenrick. Does it happen before or after the next General Election?
After just watching Trump addressing his troops at a Republican rally I must admit to feeling sympathy for Starmer having to deal with this egotistical, lying madman
Has Chris Mason gone on holiday with Fagash. Both notably absent off BBC. My wife’s complaints to BBC about Mason giving personal judgements about Rachel Reeves misleading the public in advance of the budget have eventually been rejected as he ‘gave both sides of the story’. Really????
Chickens coming home to roost BBC. He doesn’t need them now his press conferences are covered live by news channels. Non of his claims can be fact checked or corroborated live so, like Trump, he can say what he wants and get away with it.
Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber
This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.
"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀
5 Conservative supporting Billionaires OWN 80% of
UK Mass Media & a Conservative appointee runs the BBC
until this changes expect Reform/Tory Propaganda from
all UK media,TV,Newspapers & even radio are Tory BS now
So the OBR has said that Rachel Reeves did nothing wrong before the budget. It is my judgement that Chris Mason misled the great British public and therefore should resign immediately
Chris Mason has now said that when he stated that Rachel Reeves had mislead the country then he was speaking on my behalf. Let me state that the weasel faced little shit Mason has never nor will he ever speak for me. Gary Lineker spoke for me against Bravaman and on Gaza and he got the bullet.
