Today, I listened closely to a mixed up Party Political broadcast by #Reform
"Because of our net zero lunacy we seeing more of Britain deindustrialising and more and more people paying tax, working longer hours than ever before, subsidising huge numbers of people who choose not to go to work"
The conflated and bigoted views of #Frogface
James Timpson: the prisons minister who employs ex-offenders
James Timpson has always believed in second chances. His parents took in foster children and he gives jobs to former criminals in his family business. Now he wants the government to do the same
An admirable family.
Trump’s DOJ Has Frozen Police Reform Work. Advocates Fear More Abuse in Departments Across the Country.
—
Federal investigators had identified at least eight police departments with patterns of unlawful behavior. But Trump’s freeze on oversight activities leaves many reform efforts in the hands of local leaders.

Now we know, Ms Badenoch ready 2 work with #Reform. These 2 have much in common. The Tory Gov't ran down #NHS 2 a state where you couldn't get GP appointment, the system was on the verge of collapse. Reform urges private health insurance, these 2 a disaster 4 our NHS. The British people want & need a well funded NHS free at the point of need. No sell out to the private sector or to #Trump's bullying.

In response to our reporter going undercover at #NigelFarage’s #Reform party rally we had this reply:
"The 'left' needs to admit that immigration is a problem. NOT immigrants themselves, but immigration.
With the current lack of investment in public services then continuous immigration becomes a problem. With no 'leftist' party stating that immigration is a problem then that leaves a vacuum for Farage and his party to thrive unchallenged in."
What do you think about this take?
Hey ConnedJobs

And a gun license?

Then shove 6 ice cubes up your arse, its the only way open to you to be really coooool!
Notfallversorgung: Welche Probleme Union und SPD lösen müssen
Uneinheitlich, veraltet, ineffektiv: Seit Jahren kritisieren Experten den Zustand der Notfallversorgung in Deutschland. Die Ampel wollte das Problem angehen, aber zerbrach zuvor. Kommt nun ein neuer Anlauf? Von Birthe Sönnichsen.
Unfortunately populist politicians are calling the tune - be they Labour, Tory or Reform. Humanity, and even simple rationality is going by the way in a wish by many British politicians to be seen to be 'doing something'.
The moral of the story is never trust a UK government, but then many many people and whole countries know all about that.
Perfidious Albion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidious_Albion for those who might not have come across the phrase) is well deserved. Even worse now with Labour #pandering (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pander-to ) to #Reform.
A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
All men in whose character there is not an element of hardened baseness must admit the need in our public life of those qualities which we somewhat vaguely group together when we speak of “reform,” and all men of sound mind must also admit the need of efficiency.
There are, of course, men of such low moral type, or of such ingrained cynicism, that they do not believe in the possibility of making anything better, or do not care to see things better. There are also men who are slightly disordered mentally, or who are cursed with a moral twist which makes them champion reforms less from a desire to do good to others than as a kind of tribute to their own righteousness, for the sake of emphasizing their own superiority. From neither of these classes can we get any real help in the unending struggle for righteousness.
There remains the great body of the people, including the entire body of those through whom the salvation of the people must ultimately be worked out. All these men combine or seek to combine in varying degrees the quality of striving after the ideal, that is, the quality which makes men reformers, and the quality of so striving through practical methods — the quality which makes men efficient. Both qualities are absolutely essential. The absence of either makes the presence of the other worthless or worse.

"It is infuriating to see another Labour government seek to appease a rightwing voter base by reinforcing the “tough on crime” doom loop that has gridlocked our justice system for the past 30 years. It was New Labour’s punitive posturing that drove up the prison population by 40% between 1997 and 2010"

Reformpläne von Schwarz-Rot
Wer ohne Überweisung zum Facharzt will, soll draufzahlen
Kann ich eigentlich nur begrüßen. Ich mache das als Privatpatient schon seit Jahren freiwillig so und konnte damit meine Krankenkassenbeiträge deutlich senken. Ich empfinde es nicht einmal als Einschränkung meiner persönlichen Freiheiten.
Nige and his motley #Reform crew had a rally in Birmingham…looks like #LedByDonkeys decided to drop by.
Labour's enablement of the far right
A decent aerticle (they normally are) from Mombiot. In aping Reform and yhr Tories, Labour are enabling them. Just as well when they promised 'change' they were not prepared to define what is meant. Trading Standards might have been after them, rather than just people who despise their policies.
