In 2018, the Prime Minister opposed a third runway at Heathrow. Now, in the middle of a climate emergency, his government is backing it. A complete U-turn at the expense of local communities and the planet. Reckless, short-sighted and indefensible.

Pensioners are the wealthiest demographic (over a quarter are millionaires) and it is wild to see the Trade Unions and Left Media acting like we can solve our problems while leaving their wealth untouched.

Still quite impressive that we had a decade long period when borrowing for the state was almost entirely free and we used that to build precisely 0 national infrastructure projects.

In case you weren't already aware; Akhmed Yakoob is a scumbag.
Here's the heartbreaking story of Cheryl Bennett, a schoolteacher whose life was destroyed when the so-called TikTok lawyer Akhmed Yakoob shared a deepfake of her using the P-word. In fact she was helping friend of south Asian heritage canvass for Labour

🛫 The government has approved London City airport expansion. in a time of climate crisis 🤯. 🚉 We think prioritising clean, affordable train travel is a no-brainer. Labour has other ideas.

Labour would absolutely smash it in Runcorn and Helsby constituency if only we had a strong left-wing leader who could properly communicate to the voters exactly why we should block Heathrow expansion and support a new international airport in Mirpur.
"You got no chance of getting my vote - if it was for Zarah Sultana then happily. I'm voting Green instead". Goodbye Labour. Door slammed. 📺 Watch the video 👀.

When you've aligned yourself to a brand that becomes so toxic that it threatens your job.
The region needs a leader who will put the WM first & not be whipped by his party 💪🏻. It’s how I’ve always done the job - obsessing over delivery locally whilst ignoring the Westminster games 👍🏻. My approach will never change - the West Midlands always comes first ❤️

Funny how every leftist tweeting in the wake of ReformUK gains says we can simply ignore voters' desire for tougher immigration policy and enact their own preferred policy agenda instead.
The key to defeating Reform is not adopting their positions on immigration, but offering progressive economic policies that will make lives easier, and doing this in a way that is *authentic* i.e. from people that actually understand the communities they seek to represent.

Yeah cool you want lower taxes, no borrowing and well-funded services.
Ahead of the Spring Statement, only 25% of Britons say the government should make spending cuts. Likewise, only 18% say the government should increase taxes, and 8% back increasing borrowing. Article link in following tweets

@samdodgshon 3,468+ eminently-liveable apartments, 5 mins walk from tram & train stops, 15 mins walk from city centre. Enough commercial space to employ far more people than barely-used sheds that existed before. The only lost revenue-stream was the woefully-inefficient surface car-park.

The Conservatives and to a lesser extent the Green Party have pushed up rail fares by curtailing our rail infrastructure with nonsense arguments about HS2 being exclusively for rich London commuters.
Scoop: HS2 cancellation will mean fares increase between London and the north to reduce travellers amid capacity problems. There will be 8% fewer seats on future trains after the high-speed line was scrapped, and prices are set to go up to reduce demand.

Flytipping on a small scale mostly occurs because working class people cannot afford to pay for skips or shell out for petrol to travel to distant, isolated recycling centres. And now Labour wants to steal and crush their one method of transportation, cutting them off from work.
