I realise that but it still feels disproportionate and that Scotland is more important than the North of England?
My point is it's disingenuous. You seem to think I'm making a point about right wing newspapers. I'm talking about all newspapers, including the ones you mentioned. It shouldn't be allowed, people read the news to find out what's going on, they shouldn't be misled through inference towards the side of whomever owns the newspaper in question.
Though, it is more common in right wing newspapers than left leaning ones.
I think you've crossed your wires a little, there are 14 million people living in poverty, but I'm not sure the 3 million figure for homelessness is correct. Happily corrected, mind.
Taxes
The first problem is almost all countries wether run by the left, right, socialist, conservative or even a dictatorship are spending more than their income.
Why shouldn't the rich pay more tax I've read on here, well in fact they already do the basic rate is 20% higher earners pay 40% and then because they earn more they also spend more on goods and services which they pay VAT on.
For me the problem is the huge multi national companies making billions but not paying their fair share of tax on that profit, the justification being that they are creating jobs and therefore contributing indirectly. The downside of that could be that they are creating minimum wage jobs that need to be topped up by the benefit system. (thinking of the likes of Amazon here)

Maybe he was hit by a train, hence the construction of a bridge to allow people to cross the tracks?
Come on, where are the positive messages from the Conservatives on this forum?
Seriously, you'd think they were just built on unsubstansiated spite or summat.
And, as no one answered earlier - who, on here, can match Dianne Abbott's achievements?

Meanwhile, here are some stats to have a chew on:

I wonder why, woman of colour, Dianne Abbott, who has a proper working class background, gets more personal abuse about her intelligence than every other MP, usually based on a single interview she gave when suffering from symptoms of her diabetes yet white privileged Male MPs like Hammond, Cleverly, Hancock, Johnson, Mogg et al get next to no abuse in comparison despite giving out wrong information, lying, getting figures wrong, contradicting & failing to meet their targets.
Just can’t put my finger on it.

Weird innit?
I assume all of these critics, who claim she's thick, all smashed it at an Oxbridge university too.
Seems unlikely .
There's a rash of Extinction Rebellion scribble on there (not sure if done with ethical aerosols)
If god (sic) is dead, this presupposes his existence in the first place.
BOMBSHELL FACT
130k vulnerable dead
14m in poverty
600 dying in the streets a year
4m Children in Poverty
8m in in-work poverty
NHS on it’s knees
Schools on their arses
Local Councils going bankrupt
Super Rich Tory Backers have tripled their wealth
Wonder where the money’s gone?
Again, I'm at a loss to explain.
How about the money coming in to the Tory Party?
I'd imagine they're funded by good all round British Tommy types though.
I would say less-so though (they still have a big impact of course) with the rise of social media and everybody having an opinion and broadcasting it on the internet.
Yeh, of course they are. They chip in £3 a month via their hedge-fund managers.They also buy a poppy pin on badge off a “patriot” website to show they care & the smelly commies buying cheaper paper ones off the British Legion don’t.
Has anyone 'swayed' @Chazz Rheinhold yet?
Has anyone swayed anyone yet?
Any predictions for the score on Friday?
I'm currently going for a no score draw ...

It’s her glasses. It’s got to be.
