Prospect is sewage dumping, health hazards, lack of investment, higher domestic/business costs, tax dodges, asset-stripping.

Reading that Starmer is in Albania trying - and failing apparently - to set up some grubby immigrant placement deal. If so, this is right out of the Tory playbook that he continually criticized. Stop chasing Reform voters who will never vote Labour, and listen to the voters who elected you instead.

The way to beat Reform is to:
be BETTER than them,
more honest than them,
have real solutions they don’t have.
Not to try and BE them!
Their voters (a national minority) don’t want Reform lite from a party they hate.
But the rest of us want true thriving policy from grownups with integrity.

The Government has said there is no money available for Public Sector pay rises and it must come out of existing budgets.
But there is loads of money, the Banks all gave their CEO's 40% pay rises last week.
Tax the rich, end Brexit or do both.
That's what people want.

No thank you. Don't want to be the 51st state, or US slaves.

The push for fairness and equality didn't go 'too far' - and nor did progressives get their tactics wrong. What changed was that a tiny number of white men didn't like how the world was changing - and spent billions changing it back.
