    We will get nowhere by continuing to support the two party state, especially when both parties follow neo liberal economics. The reason for the complete mess the country is in could not be clearer. They have sold our country to the highest bidders and that ends up as hedge funds, and they have no interest in other than the bottom line. 45 years of neo-liberalism has achieved a huge increase in wealthy people, great. It's a shame about the even greater increase in poor people and the coming tsunami on the middle classes. Stop supporting the people who are destroying your grandchildren's future. Find an Independent you can trust and vote for them.

    I voted Green for some of those reasons! But Labour is still a massive improvement on the Tories

    Guess what? That Hungarian "company" that turned hundreds of Lebanese into unwitting suicide bombers was a front

    Also guess what? The BBC took the story at face value

    So, `Free Gear Keir` is a Woolwich fan, that explains rather a lot.

    I see the characters of Fraggle Rock are holding a delusional party conference in Liverpool, meanwhile well over a thousand more illegal immigrants have been dumped upon the tax payer in the last week.

    Statistics without context are pointless.
    The total figure is up 1% on the number of people who had made the crossing by this time last year, but is 20% down on 2022.
    So a big day yesterday, but apparently it's the fault of a 2 month old Government for not reducing the numbers of the past decade....<doh>

    For Reeves, actually engage with them instead of continue her pre-programmed routine

    For the heavies, not grab somebody around the throat when on camera

    For the party, maybe pay attention to the conference vote on the winter fuel allowance...

    Yes, she should definitely encourage more of this behaviour. That would really work well. <doh>
