Not forgetting wishing to remove Women's Right to Choose After all Right Wing Zealots know far better what Medical Proceeduures Women should have available to them than Women themselves Women's right to choose what? Not having men invade their personal spaces or participate in their sports? How about Muslim women having the right to choose what they wear or even who they marry? Many men I was referring to are from traditional Muslim, Jewish or Hindu upbringings, but many also are christian or of no religion.

Richy Sunk’s only plan seems to be spouting at every opportunity that Labour do not have a plan. That is not a real plan for the UK economy. That is Tory bollocks.

"The prime minister – pays a much lower tax rate than someone who relies on going out to work for their living."
Let that sink in for a moment and then, wonder, just how on earth, working class people, can actually vote Tory?

Fucking disaster of a project. And they are going to just keep squandering cash and letting this mess rumble on for years. Such a shame they couldn't invest even just 1/10th of the cash wasted on hs2 on local railway networks outside of London. Particularly in the north of England where it can take hours to get 30 miles. Furthermore, people should be arrested for the state that cross country and other major networks are in. Every single time I get on that Birmingham to Euston train, or indeed, Birmingham to Leeds or Manchester, people are forced to stand, often in incredibly uncomfortable settings. It's disgusting and the government should be ashamed by the state and lack of efficiency of British trains.

The Tax and Benefits system is so screwed up and complicated, as I've said before in my opinion deliberately so. The National Living Wage is calculated at about £20,000 a bit more in London A person earning £20,000 can only earn £12,570 Tax Free because the TFA has been frozen and will take home about £17,700 on a 35 hour week this is £9,75 per hour which is below the National Living wage per hour of £10.42 Because in work pay is below National Living Wage they can apply for Universal Credit. About 3M people in work claim UC as their earnings are too low. More than 22M receive Benefits of one type or another. Half are for State Pension which is an easy qualification to prove. The rest about 12M are either people in work, part time work, in disability, ill etc There is a direct correlation to this cohort and people living in Poverty in UK in 2024 All of this toing and froing just creates unnecessary bureaucracy, cost and stress to keep Jobsworths employed. Many people are unable to cope with the system sometimes with Tragic consequences It would be far simpler to define a Minimum Universal Income whether in or out of work a first step would be to increase TFA to take the 3M out of the system. Incentivise and help others into the workforce either part or full time. The biggest impediment to Single Parents is child care and cost. The single impediment to those with a Physical or Mental illness is access to treatment The ambition shouldn't be to manage Poverty but to lift the threshold where 20% of the Population struggle to get by. Above this £20K threshold a progressive Tax system in Bands say £20K/40K @ 20% £40/60K @ 30% £60/100K @40% £100K+ @50% This would be on All Income Earned or Unearned no loopholes or allowances You would wonder what the motivation is for Rishi Sunak who receives 7% of his Income from being UK PM but has the vast majority of his Investments in US

"It's because he's smart. Don't you want someone smart running the country?" Sort of thing I've heard trump supporters say when questioned on his tax affairs. Cuckolds to the rich.

Crumbling schools with teachers being made redundant, NHS falling apart with record waiting lists and children not even being able to see a dentist, cost of living crisis with millions in poverty, public transport doesn't work, the roads are full of pot holes and our heating and electricity costs are double that of similar sized economies in Europe. The Tories have truly brought Britain to it's knees, the country is broken.

You can't even drive anywhere these days with the road works shambles on just about every road, let alone the public services issues you quite rightly highlight. Broken Britain and broken Stoke City FC 😢

Broken Britain and broken Stoke City FC 😢 It’s a joke there’s literally roadworks everywhere at the moment. Working in local services I’ve seen it first hand. Literally every public service is on its knees. Social Services Schools Policing Transport GPs Housing add to that Millitary too. Covid’s a factor but can’t be used as an excuse for ever. People are leaving the public sector because they’re - Not getting paid enough. - The stress is to high (due to numbers) and frankly isn’t worth the money. - The majority of these jobs need you to leave home (we need to change our mentality around wanting to take the easy option and get back to workplace). - Private organisations pay better. - Weak management unwilling to be up front and honest around why things are failing (numbers) and putting it down to the workforce who are simply being too far stretched and are hung out to dry when things go wrong whether it’s a serious case review, poor exam results or response times. It’s an absolute mess and there needs to be drastic change.

Having watched London live no mater what you're political view threats of violence against any mp is unacceptable
The only way is through debate and the ballot box not through physical or mental abuse of an mp or there families
Mps when elected representatives us and any threats are athreat to our democracy

There’s some services in this country that are grossly underfunded that could do with excess cash from other budgets.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/feb/11/kemi-badenoch-failed-to-raise-horizon-scandal-when-she-met-fujitsu-at-davosThis is not a good look for the darling of the right. Badenoch networking with Fujitsu at Davos last year, but she didn’t raise compensation for post office workers whose lives were ruined by Fujitsu’s disastrous IT system, Horizon. Years after the court victory for post office workers. Fujitsu continue to make £100m a year from government contracts. I guess it was before the Alan Bates series on ITV so Badenoch didn’t care about it as most of the public had no idea about the scandal. Badenoch did though. Her civil servants briefed her about it beforehand. But she obviously didn’t care.
