Thank goodness they are only part timers. Just think of the damage they could do if they were full time.

Guess this is what the emphasis on getting people back to work is about?

Guess this is what the emphasis on getting people back to work is about? It frees them up to work on their second jobs. Well, I think those on the tory benches treat being an MP as a second job.

Well they could start by making every vote compulsory. What is the fucking point of having an MP if they don't need to vote on behalf of their constituency?

Astonishing revelation from Sam Coates, it's one of those where you would ordinarily say, incredible but not surprising but Jesus, is this really how low the Tories can sink?

What do we all think about the roadworks crisis? Anyone else noticed that it's basically impossible to drive anywhere in the UK these days where there isn't (often completely unnecessary) roadworks? I called Shapps out a few years ago after we saw this bizarre scenario where the country hadn't been driving for 18 months yet he didn't think it was a sensible idea to deal with the roads until covid was done and everyone started driving again.
Transport as a whole has been a disaster under this government but the mystifying amount of traffic and roadworks during these past few years has been unforgivable.

Another trend is to use hcas who are not qualified go do the jobs of nurses Also to dress them in the same colour scrubs as nurses and sisters physios and even admin and cleaners creating confusion for patients and drs When I pointed our that this was to cut nurses and replace with hcas the person running this a senior nurse was so shocked I told her to contact her union

It's very simple cut and cut and cut budgets and you end up with crumbling infrastructure

Transport as a whole has been a disaster under this government but the mystifying amount of traffic and roadworks during these past few years has been unforgivable. I don't know about " completely unnecessary " but you are right about roadworks everywhere. I've recently been down and up the A1M to M50 and everything in between and the last thing you would believe is there is supposed to be a recession! The problem isn't just down to the present Tory government though, it's a consequence of over half a century of under investment in roads and rail. Ironically the delays on the M42 past Brum are due to building the HS2 interchange. The government have cancelled the HS2 extension to Manchester which is another mistake and lack of investment the next generation will come to regret. The implication being we will have to widen the M6 further, or the M6 Toll, or build a 3rd M6!!! The short sightedness has been present since the 1960s when someone decided to build the M5 as a 2 lane motorway. It's been repeatedly widened ever since. The M25 was another mistake as it was intended to bypass traffic around London but with so many access and egress points it simply became a commuters dream allowing people to move further away from their place of work and commute by car. The same mistakes were made with the M4 round Newport and M5 through the Black Country, which allow local traffic to hop on and off the motorways using them as a short cut for local traffic, surely not what motorways are supposed to be for? The lesson is quite clear, when you improve the roads you simply encourage more traffic and more congestion. The solution is to invest in rail, be it trains or trams and shift not just people off the roads but also goods which used to go by rail. I've repeatedly stated I support HS2 and still do (and HS3 and 4) not because I want to knock a few minutes off intercity travel times, but to release the old Victorian rail network for local commuting and goods traffic. You cannot run express, commuter, and goods rail traffic on the same routes. It makes sense to build new fast rail routes and move express traffic off the slow bendy rail routes through built up areas, and take traffic off the motorways and even internal air flights. In the future there will be more and more leisure time for more and more people as the population increases, the four day week has already arrived for many people. If we carry on the way we are the country will be covered in concrete/tarmac! No one likes to see new rail routes through the country side, but rail routes take up a fraction of room that motorways do, in a new rail route when completed is less environmentally damaging than widening an existing motorway but that will not convince the NIMBYs.

Don't even get me started on the m42 by the NEC (down the road from me and where I'll be driving past up to stoke today at snails pace)! Infrastructure in this country in general is a fucking shambles but the roadworks crisis needs calling out for what it is - a crisis. Nothing works anymore in this once great land.

Would be a strange move by Reform. Not the sort of party they should be affiliating with in my opinion. It could be mutually beneficial though. Interesting development if true.

"His school routinely washed uniforms for children whose families didnât have a washing machine.
The school recently stepped in to help after discovering a pupil begging outside a supermarket and its free breakfast club was âreally neededâ. But lack of sleep had become another big symptom of poverty â and a barrier to learning.
âWeâve got a lot of kids in homes with not enough beds or a mum sleeping with two or three children,â the head said. Support staff would often take children out of class who werenât coping because of exhaustion to let them sleep for an hour or two. âSome children are falling asleep in lessons, and not just the little ones,â he said.
The school had many children living in âdesperate neglectâ. âKids are sleeping on sofas, in homes with smashed windows, no curtains, or mice,â he said. âI come out of some of these properties and get really upset.â
A report published on Friday by the Child of the North campaign, led by eight leading northern universities, and the Centre for Young Lives thinktank, warned that after decades of cuts to public services, schools were now the âfrontline of the battle against child povertyâ, and at risk of being âoverwhelmedâ. It called on the government to increase funding to help schools support the more than 4 million children now living in poverty in the UK."
Fuck that, it's tax cuts that we need!

Makes perfect sense One bunch of bigoted hypocritical shysters teaming up with another bunch of bigoted hypocritical shysters, what could be more natural. One of the TUV Manifesto pledges is for restoration of Article 6 of Act of Union which guarantees equal rights to all citizens of Britain and NI đ

If kids arenât fed and donât get enough sleep, they are never going to achieve anything in school. Thatâs probably what the Tory govt want and it really highlights the absurdity of âanyone can do anything in this country when they put their mindâs to itâ.
