"Warmer homes, lower bills" He shouldn't be making promises he has no control over.

Who'd have thought that relying on a lone 38 year old striker would result in a lack of goals.

Must by why Labour’s approval ratings have dropped off a cliff.

Wow you've really drank the koolaid. One thing, after being challenged on it several times, she insisted she was correct, I think you'd know whether you worked at the BOE for 5.5 years or a decade.

Broken promises and pledges is what eventually brings down government's, see the last election. Sometimes a change is needed which isn't always for better.

Not sure why that's relevant and it would be pure guess work whether others would have kept to their election pledges for the good of the country or not.

1. No tax increases 2. Protect farmers 3. Smash the gangs 4. Protect pensioners 5. Waspi women 6. Cut energy bills 7. Freeze Council tax Just a few off the top off my head.

I find it remarkable how you seem to be perfectly OK with her lies. From a party who promised to clean up politics.

Not when you're chancellor of the exchequer.

Maybe one that hasn't broken just about every election promise.

Would that have prevented Rachel from accounts lying on her CV. By her own standards she should resign.

Foxestalk logic. Growth forecast down - Tories fault Economic Growth - Aren't Labour great.

Previously our Prime minister opposed the 3rd runway on environmental grounds. I wonder what's changed. 🤔

Capital punishment won't be brought back and especially for under 18s. IMO, Letting him rot in jail is a bigger punishment, day after day with next to no chance of release.

The draconian policy failed to significantly reduce deaths while imposing substantial social, cultural, and economic costs. https://econofact.org/how-effective-were-pandemic-lockdowns The research based on a variety of models suggests that the adoption of lockdowns in the face of the initial COVID surge was effective in containing transmission and deaths, albeit at high economic and social costs https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/05/revised-report-on-impact-of-covid-lockdowns-leaves-unanswered-questions So, not exactly black and white, so it depends on what you define as a success. *Really don't want to turn this into a COVID thread.

I didn't realise there are rules. Would you kindly like to provide a list of preferred sources.

So what was the point?

Definitely hired to spy on you.

Obviously worse case scenario... Genuinely interested in your opinion/prediction of exactly how that would play out and when?

Doesn't matter how many solar panels or wind turbines you have, when the wind doesnt blow on a cold, overcast January. People will be thankful for gas until nuclear can fill the gap.

And the fact that viable E-HGVs & the infrastructure don't yet exist. And everyone with an ICE vehicle will put them in the bin and go out and spend 50k on a EV. The more you read the funnier it gets.
