Someone demanding a police investigation is not the same is it? Any investigation would be by HMRC; and there isn’t one.
You said there was a police investigation. There isn’t.

For 6 years.
They have been kept away from power for 14 years.
Are those the same Lib Dems led by Clegg who campaigned on a promise to abolish University tuition fees, then voted to raise them to acquire the position of deputy PM? They showed their true colours didn’t they?
Only other country in Europe who has our voting system is Belarus says it all really.
This two party can only win an election is utter shite so you end up with mediocrity.
Red get in then blue and back to red meanwhile all those talented folk from the Greens,social democrats, Liberals etc etc are thrown aside.
Italy has PR and has had 68 governments since 1946, not a great system.Vote Green. Pointless in our first past the post voting system.
Vote PR.
Think you meant to say Tories
That is not a sensible comment for someone with your name.
Germany 20 in the same time France 24 since 1958.
In the 2015 GE, there was a box to vote to switch to PR or not. It was rejected by approximately 2-1,so obviously not a consensus to adopt.
This saying about running out of other people's money is a nonsense. All countries use their citizens' money in order to provide public services. Tories, liberals and socialists all do it and Thatcher knew that. She was just playing politics with the idea that Labour Governments are not careful about the way they use public funds. That is also nonsense.
You cant be serious !
Absolutely. Labour is just a protest group. They have no plan and no clue. Look at Wales for an example of what they would try to do. Blanket 20mph speed limits and we’d still be in Covid lockdown if it was up to them. Cordoning off aisles in shops just pathetic. They will cut services and increase taxes and open the boarders to all. Labour would spell devastation and disaster for the country.
If I lived in a constituency where I thought the Greens could win I might well be tempted to vote for them, perhaps join them.
You'd be living in a cave if you voted green.
Devastation and disaster is what the country is already getting from a Conservative government. Your view that Labour would, "cut services and increase taxes and open boarders [sic] to all," is simply wrong. By all means vote for who you think has the right policies to improve the country but don't invent criticisms to beat Labour with.
Are they still anti-nuclear power?
They say that nuclear power is a distraction from cheaper, cleaner power sources that also provide for better power security.
I'm genuinely surprised you've never voted Labour considering that you've claimed that, in your opionion, Gordon Brown has been the best prime minister of the past 50 years.
"Angela Reynar is not the brightest!" - in comparison to Liz "brainbox" Truss, or Dominic "Imports and Dover" Raab, or David "its all in my head" Davis, or Kwazi "trickle down" Kwarteng, or thick as pigsh17" Mogg, or James "not very" Cleverley. I honestly think you could line up all the current MP's and i would hazard the guess that barely 10% of them would meet the criteria of even average intelligence despite a majority of them having been very expensively educated.
We've had 14 years of unprincipled politicians.
And it looks like we’ll have at least 4 more from another set of unprincipled politicians.
Let's see and call them out at the time, rather than condemn on a hunch and Tory allegations.
Glad I won’t have to.
That’ll please the people of Rochdale who just gave him a mandate.
Although at the General Election, the turnout was 62%, and George got in with a 39% turnout, as Labour voters stayed at home, with no candidate to vote for.That’ll please the people of Rochdale who just gave him a mandate.
Well as the current Govt have seen us have the highest tax burden in my lifetime and have totally lost control on immigration and knife crime etc - I’m not sure any party even the Loonies can perform worse?
They really need to take a seat on the sidelines and understand where it all went wrong. Will Labour be better - maybe? However they surely can’t be worse than this last 5 years (and in fairness it wasn’t much better in the Austerity govt either).
Think it's been significantly longer than that.
Unsurprisingly I’ve studied their policy statement on food ....admirable in its aims and ideals but sadly empty on workable solutions. Also keeping a close eye on the Welsh Governments handling of the same subject.. it truly beggars belief... I can only hope the next UK government do due diligence on food procurement...in all seriousness 66 I’m really worried our politicians are going to make an almighty fcuk up.
Interesting. I can only think that many of the difficulties stem from Brexit. That said, what we eat will say a lot about what we think about the environment. Everything touches this: economics, social reform, business, farming.
In the push for green energy, there's a danger of giving up valuable farmland in favour of solar panels and turbines, when we already have a shortage of home produced foodstuffs. These things need putting in places where there isn't pressure to produce food.
Agree but at some point the nation has to understand that cheap food isn't a given. It may sound poncy middle class foodie nonsense but I value a good chicken - free range. It can be dear but I want to use the whole thing, including the carcass. May be that's where our parents' food knowledge was a bonus: Sunday roast beef, Monday cottage pie, Wednesday soup.
Re Brexit... you’re right but perhaps not in the way you may be thinking
... politicians had a massive opportunity re food... post Brexit... a dramatic fall in home production in favour of public popularity may well be the outcome.
I’m attending a meeting today, with a professional advisor, to finalise our SFI options, having had a number of meetings over the past few months. There is no clarity as to the long term objectives for food security or sustainability…this , in my opinion, is where Brexit gave us an opportunity to set clear and viable policy for food production….animal welfare…wildlife conservation and environmental protection…a chance to reverse damage done…I really can’t see any political party with a policy that isn’t based on short term popularity….but then it was ever thus

Nah... only 120 ourselves ( mostly rented) tough going but provides a living for 3.
