  11. @desmondroberts6034  migration has gone up because we lost fom, the previous government were big on public sector pay suppression then using the visa exception scheme to fetch in cheap labour. Deregulation in the labour market such as an unregulated zero hour gig economy has a big pull factor as well as our obsession with outsourcing

  19.  @Cedawood  He is but part of the issue is the rise in poverty driven by Austerity and a Tory low wage economy with soaring rent and house prices quote Invest more in youth clubs – creating 250,000 positive opportunities for young Londoners to help steer them away from gangs and crime quote Recorded crime in London is more prevalent in the neighbourhoods with the higher levels of income deprivation: Overall, 40% more crimes were recorded in the most income-deprived areas in 2023, compared to the least income-deprived 10%

  20. You can't restore integrity you put Boris give us a loan Johnson in charge even though you knew he was a lying toad The fish rots from the head down this is just more of Johnson's slime and the only reason Sunak stood down as Chancellor was to stick the knife in the scandals will just keep on coming 1. Zahawi Tax Scandal 2. Treasury gave permission for Wagner leader to sue for Libel even though he was sanctioned 3.Boris Johnson soliciting loans through a mate who he gave a plum job too 4. Suella Braverman - sacked as a security risk then reinstated 3 weeks later 5. Raab bullying current complaint count 24 6. Leveling up money going to Tory constituencies

  24. Electric car sales reach record high in UK despite supply chain disruption Sales of electric vehicles reached their largest-ever monthly market share in December, accounting for almost a third of all new cars sold So were at price parity with ICE the economies of scale havent kicked in yet and the tech is producing ever cheaper batteries but were not going to invest in the necessary infrastructure because were what Stupid Tories that can't see beyond the end of our nose? So there will be a country full of EV's no charging points and a grid in a near state of collapse. No wonder we have a public buildings RAAC problem don't put off till tomorrow what you can put off till the day after then when that day comes lie about tell everyone your sopending record sums after years of cronic underivestment if that doesn't work claim labour broke the economy and if you elect them it will be worse And finally If that doesnt work PULL THE EMERGENCY JERMY CORBYN LEVER

  33. Why do you predict migration going up? You were warned that brex1t would have the opposite effect yet you called it project fear, labour will start the long rocky road back to fom with additional labour regulations and a lowering of the Tories insane migration numbers

  36.  @kbcaps  what power do any uk politicians have over Isreal any stance is just gesture politics Outside the Westminster bubble no one cares were worried about the NHS cost of living and energy prices.

  37. Net zero = capital expenditure now V high running cost Insulate a school building to A+ standard and its savings on its heating and electric bill cover the capital outlay within a few years Not doing it is a false economy

  38. France would shut down our economy by blocking the ports
    1
  39. no its not nearly all of it is capital expenditure V high running cost Insulate a school building to A+ standard and its heating and electric bill cover the capital outlay within a few years, add some solar panels to the roofs and the bulk of its electric is generated reducing running costs further.

  40. And what ? The current government are according to economic data the worst in uk history, your looking to the time of the Napolionic wars to get even close so you want 5 more years of complete shambles infighting and watching your standard of living shrink?

  42. In the past 2.5 years we've got 4.2 % poorer and seen prices increase by 20% Food inflation on staples has doubled and he sat on his hands and did nothing during the energy crisis. I drove through Germany last moth they've built 100's of wind turbines to switch over from gas we've done err nothing just gambled it would go away
    1
  43.  @JamesBarber-p7b  he could have instigated a proper windfall tax not used 42 billion of public money to boost energy companies profits And He did squat to remove planning restrictions on onshore wind farms, in 2.5 years we could have upped capacity reducing reliance on gas, he also canned improved insulation regulations

Aside from that the economy is going down the toilet latest report from a business survey returned 1 in 3 businesses expect to fold in 2022 citing trading difficulties with the mounting costs and delays caused by Brexit

  49. Is he doing a terrible job? Or is the border getting more pressure on it due to climate change and instability that brings to food in central America. He's been working night and day with Senators on a Border bill which gave huge wins to the GOP but Trump crashed it because he wants to run on Chaos

  50. With that kind of immunity the Trump could just order all Democrats in congress rounded up and sent to git-mo, surely even a bent as a nine bob note Supreme court wouldnt buy it?

  63. After 2016 I started looking at the media in greater detail, my background is IT now retired but the level of disinformation both online and in mainstream had gotten off the charts. The Times isn't bad though centre right biased but the rest like the mail and the Torygraph are basically propaganda sheets Goebbels would have been proud of. How did we get to the UKIP ification of the Tory party with the most influential man on the Right being an unelected G0bsh1te in Nigel Farage?  @royboy565

  64. We had a referendum on the EU look how that ended an economy swilling down the toilet bowl and 750,000 net 1.25 million gross) when we had FOM it was 200,000 Of the 1.25 million 1/2 are dependents And the 500,000 leaving are the highly educated who have given up on broken Tory Bexit Britain

  69. Reform are the same failed right wing economic policies that needs immigration to feed it If you want to cut imigration you need to invest in structural and physical infrastructure not cut everything to the bone deregulate so we get even more sh1t in the rivers
    1
  70. Yes by the look of it but here's the rub This will wash in the red wall because they are stupid older male ukip/Brexit/Boris uneducated and older working class On the other hand It will go down like a case of syphilis in the blue wall And ask yourself Who is buying top of the range Tesla's is that group of voters going to support not building infrastructure

  71. ​@earthbible9393 I'm sorry but he is If you look at the portable anti tank missile the US makes it has components from 7 countries, that's why Russia doesn't have anything comparable Same goes for just about everything modern, Tesla buy there gigapress's from Italy, the US gets its petrol oil from Canada, DJT is a complete mor0n

  72. I've been to similar resort in the swiss alps very nice they are and you go to network. People who may fancy investing lots of money in your country go to these conferences. If you hadn't noticed there's been a lack of investment now for a good 13 years we can't even build a train line in that time and Hinckley C is a decade in the building and will be 3 years late if it ever fires up @TEMPLAR969

  74. He's spreading disinformation that will cost people their lives if listened too, he's surrounded himself with a load of conspiracy cranks and weirdos and lost any sense of objective reality.

  75. The tipping point was reached a while back The Stratton video just put into sharp relief what the Cons really think of us plebs an attitude of entitlement as an elite ruling class. So which policy has the blonde muppet actually achieved? Get Brexit Done? Its a complete dumpster fire of a mess - 4% GDP and counting and still not implemented Pandemic - one of the worst responses in Europe HS3 - dropped for more London centric spending Tax rises to levels not seen since WW2 A decade of stagnation with real wages dropping by -3%

  78. Its about domestic economic strategy renewable energy is cheaper which is why everyone is suddenly interested whoever gets there 1st has a huge advantage
    1
  79.  @equaltoreality8028  renewable hasn't been subsidised for years they reached price parity with gas in 2019 You could build 4 offshore wind farms that produced the equivalent of Hinckley C for less money Even tidal is cheaper than nuclear now the answer is tidal Wiind solar and storage
    1
  80. So Hinkley C is contracted to last 35 Years lets give it + 5 its costs so far are 33 billion production costs 35 billion in subsidies over 35 years Guaranteed price currently of around 110p per kilowatt hour. Dogger bank Offshore is 42p and costs 9 Billion Then there's the build time Dogger bank 1st phase started in 2020 and will come online in 2024 Hinkley C 2017 commissioning now expected 2028 Then there's Tidal a similar capacity to Hinkley will cost about 50 billion but you could phase it same as Dogger Bank lasts 50-100 years Then we have storage A large Tesla Megapack for load balancing quote Europe’s biggest’ battery in East Yorkshire opens The project has the capacity to store enough energy to power around 300,000 homes in Yorkshire for two hours (costs 750,000 million) endquote a similar project in California saves 1 billion a years and as EV penetration becomes more prevalent V2G can and will fill in load gaps you can run a home for 2 days on a Tesla battery probably more if you had solar. I admire your enthusiasm for Nuclear but its fkin expensive compared to current alternatives. And you need only 40% Base load we have 15% nuclear + between 5-7% with Hinkley so around 20% There was talk of small modular reactors from Rolls Royce which looks more viable the the mega projects

  83. That's because he is spreading disinformation and lying his a55 off again, his grasp of fact and reality are now near zero. DJT claims climate crisis is a hoax and sea levels will only rise 1/8th of an inch (0.125) inches in 250 years, God help everyone if this fkwit becomes Pres again. The rate of global sea level rise is accelerating: it has more than doubled from 0.06 inches (1.4 millimetres) per year throughout most of the twentieth century to 0.14 inches.

  84.  @selvamani1973-p7b  Sunak raised taxes 70 times canceled hs2/3 abandoned net zero, was banning smoking now its dropped, was going to be the candidate of change now he's a man who says he has a plan. Starmer has stated 5 missions - they haven't changed details have The mission strategy is based on work by world leading economist Mariana Mazzucato
    1
  85.  @andyquelch5754  Crime went down during the Blair/Brown years you know why? Because the justice system was properly funded, as soon as Osborne got in he cut police, backroom staff, court staff numbers and closed some local courts leading to ever increasing backlogs and rising crime rates. If you want something to function properly you fund it and don't outsource it to your mates and then massage the figures by removing fraud from the numbers

  86. Switch to energy independence, if your not reliant on world traded commodities for energy then wars decrease because your not fighting over resources

  87. What utter tripe, they invaded because they wanted to steal stuff, your talking about a corrupt state that's run like a mafia gang

  88. And if he did fit into your perfect mould would he be +20 points up in the Polls ? The reason they are so far up in the polls is they've moved towards the centre while the Tories go off in populist Thatcherite far right LaLa land. There is also the fundamental problem of a changing electorate. All the working class older people I know voted UKIP/Brexit/Boris and Labour are looking to appeal to suburban educated younger voters who don't have much of an interest in keep the red flag flying. I reserve my judgment on him I thought it was a decent speech it really depends on results when they take power the last 13 years have just been kin awful @MichaelFitzpatrick-b9e

  90. There's been multiple foiled attempts on democrats as well , just the authorities doing their job. The overwhelming factor of the last 2 attacks on Trump where they were nut jobs

  91. ​ @jstewart4205 why would someone who believes the garbage that reform put out switch to Tory? The Cons have an abysmal record on migration, the economy, law and order plus public health, there is no way anyone should vote for another 5 years of the worst parliamentary term in political history. This is the 1st time you will be worse off at the end of 5 year term than at the start
