#Farage's lies. If you think of #Reform as a Party of compassion think again. They talk of a new form of health service, where one pays through insurance. True to form, they talk of cuts for big business (Corporation T). Now it begins 2 add up, cuts 2 care enable tax cuts 4 corporates! #VoteLibDem

Too late desperate Labour pander to the RW #Reform voters in a shameful way

Policymakers cannot build a strong case for #reform on technical grounds alone. Better #information & effective #communication have a key role to play, but #policymakers must also understand people's views and how they can help strengthen the policy process: www.oecd.org/en/publicati... #policy

Getting the Public on Side

“Everybody Hates Labour
All of this comes just 7 months after a thumping landslide win for Labour. So how has Labour’s polling collapsed? The answer is simple: voters despise Starmer and his government.”

REALITY: "Many Tory voters feel the Conservative Party has strayed from its traditional values and failed to deliver on key promises, particularly regarding immigration and Brexit."

After reneging on its manifesto pledge to not raise National Insurance, Labour is starting to struggle with another promise: to cut energy bills by £300 a year

Economists say reindustrialising creates high-skilled jobs, boosts economic resilience, and secures our country's future - So why aren't the Labour party doing this

I wonder what Mr. Hardie would think of Mr. Starmer

It is a bit weird that Labour has reduced the level at which point people start paying tax

The conversation the #US #left still needs to have is #BernieSanders cos the country is still in the same basic situation as in 2016.

Present & future conditions are dire, & #political & #economic questions are hovering in front of us in neon:

#CAPITALISM OR #SOCIALISM?
MERE #REFORM OR #REVOLUTION?

Today, I listened closely to a mixed up Party Political broadcast by #Reform

"Because of our net zero lunacy we seeing more of Britain deindustrialising and more and more people paying tax, working longer hours than ever before, subsidising huge numbers of people who choose not to go to work"

The conflated and bigoted views of #Frogface

Ppl in #Runcorn believe #Reform are the only prt serious about resolving what they see as UK’s single biggest issue: immigration. Unfortunately, instead of reasonable discourse around this, they're repeating Reform bs about ‘illegals’ arriving on ‘small boats’ & being brought ashore–where they’re being given better living conditions than UK citizens. There're no discussions of legal immigration or labour markets. It’s a PERCEPTION of a problem, one that begins in the Channel & ends in their town

James Timpson: the prisons minister who employs ex-offenders

James Timpson has always believed in second chances. His parents took in foster children and he gives jobs to former criminals in his family business. Now he wants the government to do the same

An admirable family.

Calls to reform the RCMP have been mounting for years. What are the parties proposing?
Multiple reports have criticized the RCMP's sprawling mandate, which sees the organization respond to everything from traffic violations to terrorist attacks. Despite the warnings, the main political parties are so far tepid on committing to reforming the Mounties.

Trump’s DOJ Has Frozen Police Reform Work. Advocates Fear More Abuse in Departments Across the Country.
—

Federal investigators had identified at least eight police departments with patterns of unlawful behavior. But Trump’s freeze on oversight activities leaves many reform efforts in the hands of local leaders.

Now we know, Ms Badenoch ready 2 work with #Reform. These 2 have much in common. The Tory Gov't ran down #NHS 2 a state where you couldn't get GP appointment, the system was on the verge of collapse. Reform urges private health insurance, these 2 a disaster 4 our NHS. The British people want & need a well funded NHS free at the point of need. No sell out to the private sector or to #Trump's bullying.
