Read this post by Rupert Lowe MP on LinkedIn: “I have been betrayed more times than I care to remember, but never by people I would have called friends. It’s not a very pleasant feeling, to be entirely honest. Business, football, politics. Dirty games, all of them. I have always tried to surround myself with decent, honest and fair individuals, who I feel I can trust. Loyalty to those people has not always come cheap, costing me my job on more than one occasion. That is something I would not change. Of course I’m not a politician. I’m 67, and am fortunate enough to be able to financially support myself and my family. My wife thinks I’m mad to trudge around my little wonderful corner of Norfolk talking about bins and business rates. I love it, I genuinely do. Give me a heated argument with a cantankerous local councillor over mojitos on the beach any day. It’s the honour of my life to be the MP for Great Yarmouth. Yes, I’ve been outspoken on issues. Immigration, rape gangs, deportations, the rapid way in which our country is changing. And yes, that has not been appreciated by some within Reform. Let me be clear - I do not care. I will say what I believe is right, even if that upsets certain egos. I’ve run businesses all my life. Some successful, some not. The one thing in common from all of the successful ones? Communication. Clear, honest communication. Does requesting regular meetings of MPs make me a monster? Is asking to even just see policy before it’s made public unreasonable? Is it fair to be insulted because I want people to finally talk to each other? I have torn out what remaining hair I have left over the last few months trying to talk. That’s it. Just talk. I have tried, and tried, and tried to resolve all of this behind closed doors. I can only smash my head against a brick wall for so long. My one hurried and immediate summons to Reform HQ, which I could not make due to prior commitments, was the first and the last invite I would receive from the leadership. Put simply, Reform has handed a priceless gift to those individuals who have presided over our country’s relentless decline. I am going to now repeat publicly an invitation that I have extended to Nigel Farage in private multiple times over many months. Every offer has been refused or ignored. Please, let’s have dinner and resolve this in a manner that our members, and the country, would expect. Any time, any place. You’ve got my number.”
A couple of mates today said they've just had thier new water bills. Gone up over £400 for the coming year ffs ! Dreading mine, is it for the big English cities who've not maintained the infrastructure and leaking pipe work for years ? And to ensure the fat cats keep thier profits disgustingly high ? Wales is one of the wettest parts of uk and I bet we pay more than them ? April gas n electric price rises, and do you think the council here won't raise the poll/council tax to the max ! ? Trouble ahead !
Council tax increase is 7% here - £408/m payable over 10 months Not had my water bill yet - but currently paying £76/m. Just fixed my energy bill (gas & electric) for 15 months at £310/m based on my normal/usual usage.
