2/2 Likewise re disproportiknate ( over) representation in Westminster. So why would England want to remain in the Union under the current arrangements?
@rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social
You your appear to be labouring under certain factual misinformation, In 2023/24, public spending per capita in Wales was £14,424. This is £1799 [14% ]higher than England (£12,625).

What kind of newspaper tries to stoke inter-generational disoutes in this way? One which carefully selects which suffering and need it does and (critically) does Not) notice
I think there are problems with both systems & iae this is a futile discussion as there's no likelihood of it happening. Look at Gr / G many as to the quagmire & paralysis that can arise .
.......+ PR might attract votes to Reform as those in safe sests for other parties would no longer have wasted votes . So ' be careful what you wish for' !!
But Reform would have a massive block baked in , enough to exert control . All PR solutions elevate minorities
You're right but FPTP dramatically under-records their votes in terms of HoC seats
This approach - Any form.of Pr - would be a gift to Reform.
OJ asks ' H as the grisly race to the bottom in British politics finally been halted by a Green surge?' . Sadly the short answer is - no. It is frankly deluded to think that ZP is going to sweep to power & expunge Reform . Instead think ; SDP effect on Lab in 1980- Or Reform for Tories in 2024.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social #grooming #rotherham Why has the bbc not acknowledged even in passing that the **bbc** Itself + other media has its own questions to answer arising from this scandal- ie an institutional lack of inquisitiveness given 'cultural sensitivities'
Women's beauty/products - it's liberating for only SOME women ie a TINY minority. Surely that's blindingly obvious ? #WomenEmpowerment
@theobserveruk.bsky.social Reparations disc is pointless . Even 18 trillion won't be enough for the Reparations Industry . Ironically ' leadership' of ex Colonies live very well esp compared to population & widely despised by them. #slavery
#laurak Miliband + his affluent family won't need to look for one of the ' 400k new jobs' and Nor will any of the Roger Harrabins et al - this is the Marie Antoinette class whose comfy lives will remain unaffected . Likewise Everyone peesenting on bbc . '

Youth clubs - applying a 1950s solution does not work . You seem unaware that YCs had often become opportunities / catalysts for Anti-Social Behaviour from 'low level' vandalism/bullying up to criminal gangs. #youthclubs
@felicityhannah.bsky.social #wakeuptomoney Hi Fliss I woke from a dream that I started a nuclear war , thankfully I only have a dental app t - phew . Love Vladimir
@mikerampton.bsky.social I loved your grumpy i article on inter alia airport parking ( just one reason I realised I ' CBA' to holiday in the conventionfl sense!). If it's any help I I pay £6.70 for beer+crisps.
R5+Wutm made a great belfort to delve into this. Govt of all parties seems to have little understanding of how vulnerable businesses are to Anything which affects cashflow. In comparison R4 is very much a 'civil service' outlook.
ST states - 'Drug smuggling is a serious problem'. Well that's the understatement of the century, and it's striking that this warrants only a tiny aside buried within this art. Maduro & others are overtiy in ieague with drugs cartels/mafia and indifferent to the resulting harm. . #venezuela
#wakeuptomoney Instagram - I shudder at the mention of this.
The trivia of our lives are best kept private - only the self-important would think otherwise .
--- Far more seriously
the damage this app has caused especially to girls is ongoing and yet to be fully told
NEF today seemed ( Bbc R5 Wake up to Money - Tues 30/9) to be unhappy with the Obr's influence. The Obr is necessary as politicians of all parties have shown they cannot be trusted. Without this govt borrowing costs would be even higher.
Because it often adds perspectives borne of experience which otherwise might not be heard ( rather like think tanks ).
