This problem begins with the Blair govt. and is in the school system. His aim, also Major’s before him, was to increase University numbers up to 50% of pupils. Now, 2/3rds of pupils are taking A levels. Has the human brain expanded that much? No. Innate skills are being wasted.

Why is it a problem for 16 year old’s to leave school and get a job as an apprentice or a trainee? Many children have innate skills, many have other abilities. Those skills & abilities, which the U.K. is severely short of, need specific training, not more general education.

Every day a new announcement on more public spending, passed around by its squadron of lackies. Never is there an announcement of how this will be paid for but it’s an incredible turn-round for a party that swore there was already a £22b black hole and has lowered growth since.

Labour’s puppets are being sent out yet again to make claims fanfaring its achievements. I’m losing count of the number of times it’s done this now.

It has to be an awareness of how desperately bad things are when a man of integrity stops this low.

According to nazir afzal ‘belated’ is 2014! That was the time he claims that he and Starmer were prosecuting 1,000’s of grooming gang members.🤔 nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/what-we-do/cri…

For the pro-Eu wanting to rejoin the EU. Voting Labour brought Starmer & Reeves taking us further away. Raising taxes pushes down growth, increasing public spending raises debt. Rejoin & it’s austerity. Clear that & it’s the Euro & Schengen. Add that into a poll.

Starmer secured major trade deals with the U.S. and EU. 🤔

The fawning that goes on over Starmer/Labour regarding his character and the Party’s achievements. He, Labour and its ‘supporters’ do so much of it they have to exaggerate and lie to fill their posts. If he, and it, were this good there would be no need, we would know.

How to spin statistics. Tell us about the jobs created but don’t mention those lost.

The media doesn’t need to show Starmer or Labour in the worst possible light. Look at the economic figures, they do the job for them. Then look at the lies coming from Starmer to try covering it all up.

When I look back at the hostility towards the last Tory govt and then read posts like this one it makes me wonder about the memory retention of those writing them. They certainly never stretch back to 2008 either!

There’s much compassion for Rachel Reeves this morning. She showed no compassion for the unfortunate and disabled spending months in mental turmoil over the Welfare Bill. My compassion goes out to them. Using Welfare as a tax grab was the least compassionate act imaginable.

Is this Labour’s plan for growth, boosting public services to boost GDP? If it is, does it think increasing debt repayments to £100b/yr, increasing taxes, watching employment numbers fall & giving away £30b to Mauritius for Chagos Islands that it never owned, is the way to do it?

The bombardment of posts from Labour and its supporters on how well it’s doing is palpable. I have to admit its comms department works a hell of lot better than the Tories dept did but it should be renamed the Labou propaganda dept.

Who would think that a Party with three MPs would cause such a panic in Labour’s ranks. Tapp is just one of many that cannot stop making derogative statements about Reform.

This is the difference between the threat of Rwanda and removing it. 1st half of ‘24, Tories, 13,000+ illegal immigrants. 2nd half of ‘24, Labour, 23,000+; 80% increase. 1st half of ‘25, 21,000+, Labour; 60% increase.

This is Labour today. Avoiding lying about achievements and, instead, relying on a forecast that’s already gone wrong to show that in the future it will improve! We all hope so but a forecast isn’t going to do it. A change in the ‘plan for change’ might. x.com/marcusdromgool…

Labour says it’s not a ploy to win more votes, it was in its manifesto. That means it’s not a ploy does it? 🤔

The U.K. today and as it used to be.
