Not just loss of habitat and use of pesticides but also excessive CO2 in the atmosphere.

Thats a good result, however it is in the shadow of the drive to let builders and developers trash for cash important natural habitats.

Some yes, many no. They are back peddling on the environment, not doing much on inequality and they don’t appear to be in control and flounder from one problem to another. The term “get a grip” applies!

No, get things right so Reform don’t get elected. If not Reform will definitely get elected and things will go pear shaped for a long time. This current Labour party are too timid and spend too much time reacting to events rather than setting the agenda.

We currently have 100% debt none in foreign currency. After WW2 UK had 270%debt to GDP. Much was worst kind of debt in dollars. That Labour govt managed to:- implement the welfare state & NHS, start build 2.5m homes, nationalise coal, steel, ship building & rail, ensure ex servicemen had jobs. Etc.
