I didn’t think Trump meant people like me. I was ok with the other mass deportations. I wish there were signs. Oh, wait… There were actual signs. Enjoy your vote and cry me a river.

What has this Labour government done for us??

Government revives New Labour's biggest success story Parents will get help to give their children the best start in life with £400 million of extra funding for early years and reception classes www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Sure Start is coming back. The Labour government is to open 1000 Best Start Family Hubs covering every local authority. The first will be in place by April 2026 & all by 2028. They will combine existing Family Hubs & the Start for Life programme & also cover areas without these services. 1/2

Labour launches £500m ‘Best Start’ child support programme

Best Start launched by Keir Starmer. £500 million plans to open 1,000 new centres by 2028. The expansion is part of the Labour Government's commitment to replace the over 1,400 Sure Start centres closed by the Tories.

So what has the Labour Government done in the last year? Lots done, lots more to do.

Resigning from the political party that is in power in Westminster with a huge majority to shout on the sidelines in a socially conservative Corbyn fan-club doesn't feel like the power-move that some apparently think it is. Still, there'll be social media clout and a virtuous feeling in it.

Labour's plans to build 180,000 social homes is the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation. That's 6 times more than the Tories delivered in the same time period.

Reform lying again...

Care on the doorstep..The idea is to shift work out of overcrowded hospitals and into local hubs staffed by a mix of GPs, nurses, pharmacists, mental health specialists and other medics

Labour should relish the chance to fight the next GE on Brexit. They can't win if immigration concerns are top. Impossible. Reform will always walk away victors from that encounter. Force Reform to fight somewhere they're less comfortable instead. The disaster of Brexit is a perfect battleground.

The results are in. Brexit is costing businesses and they want back in the EU.

Brexit - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

If this is the analysis from Conservatives (from BBC) they are in even more trouble than I imagined - this is basic innumeracy! Even if you start from the (incorrect) assumption that most Ref voters are ex-Labour, then Labour doing better just brings them back to Lab, it has no impact on Con vote.

Don’t let land owners, investors and developers be the ones to decide! Where should new homes go and how many? Where do we want solar panels, wind turbines & battery storage? Which green spaces should have protection? What would reduce car use? northyorks-consult.objective.co.uk/kse/
