Starmer & Reeves are avoiding paying the same tax they have imposed on family homes across the country. They are freeloading off hard pressed British taxpayers who are having to subsidise Starmer & Reeves personal housing tax bill.

Reeves disastrous Budget was one of the largest assaults on working people in British history. She lied about her budget leaks and refuses to take any responsibility for Labour’s tax grabbing and job destroying policies.

Thanks to the irresponsible policies of Britain’s Labour government, the cost of servicing UK debt has increased by more than other major economies over the past 18 months. We officially have morons running the country…..

Last month, Labour hiked taxes on working people to increase benefits for those who do not work. It's no surprise that a MILLION more people are on benefits since the election. Only Conservatives will cut welfare by £23bn and build a Britain where those who can work, do work.

Starmer has been caught out again. This time, his own human-rights friends at the UN have criticised him for failing to listen to the Chagossian community as he surrenders a British sovereign territory and £35 billion of taxpayers’ cash to the government of Mauritius.

The UN has called on the UK to suspend ratification of its treaty with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands.

Labour’s plans to cancel next year’s elections in Essex are nothing short of outrageous. Elections were due to take place for the first Mayor of Greater Essex, alongside the creation of a new combined authority. Instead, this desperate and self-serving Labour Government is
