Very, very interesting:

 

A leaked memo from the Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer has finally given the game away about what the real purpose of the Government’s Voter ID law was.

In the memo, Mercer reveals that he repeatedly lobbied Downing Street for veterans to be able to use their veteran ID cards in order to vote.

His requests were denied by those around Rishi Sunak due to fears that it would “open the floodgates” to students also being allowed to use their ID cards to vote.

This is particularly revealing as it suggests that the Government’s real motivation for imposing voter ID was not to prevent fraud, as they claim, but to prevent certain groups of voters from voting.

Amusing seeing Labour trying to spin the inflation news into something negative.

 

"food prices are still high" many are saying.  They are across Europe, if not the world, so what?

Just as amusing to see the Tories telling us "we need to stick to the plan", and "our policies are working" now that inflation is coming down; because when inflation was rising and high, the same Tories were telling us that world wide events like the Ukraine war and Covid were responsible

The Tories have announced the "economy has turned a corner" so many times, I think we're going round and round in circles!

The vast majority of this country  can see through this second sub who was chucked into the game after the first sub Truss was booted out.

Covid was responsible for it though. If you print a sh*tload of money for furlough etc then what do you think is going to happen? The result is that a load of extra money is chasing the same amount of goods, if not less due to stalled supply chains, so prices go up. It's basic supply and demand.
