The incumbent council should be legally bound not to overspend and leave the next council, like Birmingham, Bristol. and loads of others with an unmanageable mountain of debt, where they have to cut millions of pounds of local services, and have to charge citizens more via Council Tax, all to provide a worse service. It's tax upon tax upon tax in this country but nothing improves despite all the extra money.
ok so you are not blaming the greens who have a job to do in getting the books straight............. pre MARV [ or even pre 2002 ] we were doing OK ...ish. Red trousers dis reasonably OK but then mad MARV cost us 10's of millions at least over the 8 years £40,000,000. Its that £40,000,000 that has cost us the 4.9% increase ... its interest payments on the loans needed to keep it [ council bouyant ]
THIS ARTICLE HAS A LOT OF TRUTH IN IT! .... Chumpy Trumpy wants the " peace prize " he wants the credit.... but the truth will be he is helping Putrid TO MURDER UKRANIAN CITIZENS TO GET IT !!!! "The Trump administration’s decision to cut off military aid is not based on strategy or principle. It is an act of desperation," Kinzinger wrote. "Trump and his circle are watching Ukraine systematically dismantle Russia’s war machine, and they are desperate for a cease fire at any cost… Trump wants his peace prize." Kinzinger continued, "They know that an increasing Ukrainian capacity would leave Russia in ruins and Putin humiliated. So they are trying to do the only thing they can—force Ukraine onto a more 'level playing field' by starving it of the weapons and resources it needs to finish the job. This is not just cynical. It is a betrayal of everything the United States claims to stand for. It is despicable, un-American, and a stain on our country’s reputation. It’s politics over lives, and history will not be kind." PS ........JD VANCE is a record breaker .. there are over 1000 memes now of him and it is said most of the memes do him more "likeability" than the real life one ..... I often wonder how the children of such unsavoury /publicly defamed parents ...........as liars... cheats .... and out and out bullies can handle their parents ridicule. It must be horrifying at school.......... and I wonder how many attend "shrinks" to combat the stigmatism they must suffer?

please log in to view this image this is a real egg head ... wonder if he gets paid for these interviews? a US political commentator. Speaking on GB News, Daniel McCarthy told Steven Edginton that Zelensky lacks a mandate to govern the war-stricken nation. VZ ............. secured a landslide victory in 2019 with 73 per cent of the vote, but with martial law in effect since 24 February 2022, Ukraine has not held another election since. But McCarthy thinks Zelensky’s current approach is blocking the road to peace. note ...... A famous scientist came up with what we now accept as a "golden rule" .. [there are opposites! ] I wonder if DMcC saw an opportunity to be on the opposite side of the coin he would take it! VZ has his hands tied, and even the opposition party is in agreement no elections until peace returns and every UKR citizen can get to vote .................. fairly, and that will be difficult.......

French officials removed around 24 migrants for safety reasons but allowed approximately 80 others to continue their journey. ... thats 104 on one raft ! Calais. please log in to view this image photo of a French policeman watching migrants on a dinghy A source questioned: "If the French decided they could take some migrants back to their shores, why couldn't they take the whole boat?" Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: "To stop these illegal, dangerous and unnecessary crossings France needs only to intercept the boats near the French coast and take them back. "Very soon, the illegal immigrants would then stop attempting the crossing and no longer congregate in camps around Calais. The UK government should also urgently implement a removals deterrent -- it was a catastrophic mistake to cancel Rwanda before it even started."
From what I’ve heard the fit and able young men, all of fighting age who are waiting to make the crossing and invade our country, get very aggressive when the French Police try to stop them. With the amount of time Starmer spends with Macron, you’d think he’d be holding him to account given the huge amount of money we’ve paid them to Police their own coastline But of course Starmer won’t, he’s all in favour of it We want to attract the worlds brightest and best to this country to come and live AND WORK, but what we don’t need is thousands of unskilled leeches who come to game our system. At what point does someone with any balls say ‘enough’ ? Give them basic food and shelter, but no money, no phone and no freedom to roam this country at will until they are sent back to their country of origin. No appeals granted, because these are not genuine refugees, and the numbers crossing the channel would fall off a cliff overnight
There is some credit to that approach, I think the difficulty is once they’re here we HAVE to process them. I’m all for doing whatever is needed to speed that process up and then send those that fail back. The Rwanda thing imo was a gimmick that was never going to work. I know lots on here disagree and I respect that view, but that’s what I think.
Other countries are getting very tough on properly securing their borders such as Poland, who now have massive steel fences and armed guards in place to stop any illegal entry to their lovely country In the UK this practice has been gaining momentum since 2018 and imho I believe we should be trying to do an awful lot more to protect our citizens and start reducing the massive burdens on our housing, welfare and health service plus, our values and culture
