This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike.

There are recordings of Donald calling Georgia officials asking them to fabricate 11,870 votes so that he could steal the 2020 election. And when that didn’t work, his goons seized election equipment and tried to sabotage the results. Now no one is being held accountable for these heinous actions.

This is a very disingenuous post. NHS workers are not being fast-tracked, they’ve simply retained the five-year route to ILR that they were promised when they moved to this country. Treating people fairly is not a Labour “win.”

Downside: There is no plan and no courage. No attempt to sort the tax system. No strategy for the economy, like the one @johnspringford.bsky.social suggests here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk. Even good policies, like mansion tax, simply fiddle for pennies instead of properly reforming property tax.
