Off Topic Lord Mayor

It must be one hell of a big rock you are living under.
Just go on google and type in 'Reform Policy' as a starter.
Open your ears, eyes and mind and please stop being ridiculous.

 

I want you to tell me one if it’s so easy

 

Don't they do history at your school?

 

This 'groundswell' reminds me of supporters on here, thinking they know better than the manager.

 

You missed the point with your simple minded thinking

 

To be fair they definitely have policies.
One of which will set this area back hugely and cause significant job losses or at least stop significant job increases in the area.
That’s their opposition to NetZero.
I’m not actually a supporter of it myself particularly, but selfishly if the current Govt are giving cash to achieve it then as the area that creates the biggest amount of carbon in the UK they’ll get the biggest bang for their buck by pouring the Billions of pounds that Reform rightly highlight into jobs and investment in our area…and so I hope they do.

That’s the area that Luke needs to do what he said he will do and not follow the national party line.

 

Am I right in thinking the new mayoralty for Hull and East Riding has quite a bit of money to spend locally? Heard conflicting things about it being around £2 million or a lot more than that.

 

There's a budget, it's much bigger than that but not a lot in infrastructure terms.

 

They very often don't have a position on any of the key issues that aren't immigration related. Last election their manifesto was tiny, and comparisons of each party's policies just had an empty box for Reform in a lot of cases.

 

Not enough to fix every pothole in Hull or public works I imagine but doesn’t the mayor have the power to enforce sale of certain property to the councils?

It’s very barebones for a national party with aspirations to be His Majesty’s Government. The Yorkshire Party’s manifesto is probably more in-depth.

 

some of those pledges are great and all
but there's absolutely no depth to them

each one is essentially summarised in a couple paragraphs

no substance, its literally just paper talk

 

Critics said that Brexit would never work and there is zero evidence to the contrary.

 

I’m sure labour and the Tory one is massive and makes lots of pledges but then totally ignores them

 

The 2 party system definitely needs interrupting. Rebranded tories certainly aren’t the answer (not directed at you chazz)

 

Yeah, good point lmao. Labour’s was about 130+ pages but they’ve flip-flopped on loads of them and then introduced **** that wasn’t even in their manifesto.

 

£13m a year for 30 years

Peanuts

The bigger prize is if the Mayor can unlock/encourage additional funding from Govt, like the potential £15Bn in net zero investment

 

The

You're absolutely right, but his role in a terrible government and the Brexit change of opinion will always count against him. He was supposedly a very engaged and decent MP, who did a lot for environmental issues. But we're always judged by what we did wrong.

 

I don’t think so
