Warning... Some taxpayers may find this offensive. 👇👇 This data was all taken from the https://t.co/AXeGxaFHc8 Development Tracker ( https://t.co/qqg14qCU7r). All the figures refer to the amount of money budgeted to each scheme, not necessarily the amount already spent.

Staggering Reply... From Londons Mayor.
🚨Reform’s plan to save London’s streets would recruit close to 1,000 new police officers for a specialist knife crime taskforce. I asked for @SadiqKhan’s support on this matter. His reply was staggering: “I never encourage anyone to work with Reform.” Shame on him 👇👇

I agree with every word of this from Maurice Glasman. The crimes of the child-rape gangs are too horrific, the cover-up too disgusting. We need a targetted inquiry with powers of arrest. This evil must be exorcised from our society. @Nigel_Farage
'The people who are reluctant to investigate it have got to be themselves investigated.' Labour life peer, Lord Glasman, calls for a national inquiry into the 'disgusting' rape gangs.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Career criminals are getting away with crime on an epic scale. Lock them up for longer, get them off our streets, crush crime. My article in @TheSun👇 https://t.co/yKtv8LZNyU

So @thameswater's emergency bailout (9.75% interest rate) is going to cost customers £800 million in interest and charges. So it's not the existing £19bn debt that bill payers are going to have to fork out for but £22.8bn "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"

So it is out in the open, bankrupt farms will be bought up by Blackrock and Vanguard.
I'm determined to deliver growth, create wealth and put more money in people’s pockets. This can only be achieved by working in partnership with leading businesses, like @BlackRock, to capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.
