Australia has passed a Bill that will limit the total spending on a party by billionaires like Elon Musk to Just $50,000

14 years of managed destruction and laziness all because labours fault the minute they took office. The tories were blaming Labour from 2010 for their failures until 2024. It is the conservatives way, do nothing and blame everyone else for failure

You are gonna see rumors of Caribbean storms so let’s discuss. Believe me the last thing I want to talk about - when we are so late in the season and we can taste the finish line - is tropical development. But alas I must.

The biggest priority is to flatten Reform in the polls.
Bury them under an electoral landslide from which they will never recover.
They are the biggest threat to Britain and our nations since the Second World War.
