So let's get this straight Labour, either call marine areas protected or don't.
Trawling should not be permitted in these areas when there are alternatives. At least give the nature the chance to recover. 🐟🛥️🕸️

I would love to know in what world someone on £29k a year is able to get £3k in dividends a year, at a 5% dividend they have over £60k in shares. How did they get that much HMRC?

Labour have a ludicrously huge majority. It gives them total freedom to do whatever they like, other parties be damned.
So if they opt to maintain terrible Tory policies, it's far too simplistic to claim they're merely perpetuating the status quo.
No. They are choosing to be as bad as the Tories.
