I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,731

What happens when a serious, responsible politician does the right thing, even if it makes him unpopular? Even if it puts his re-election in jeopardy?

"Sadiq Khan has hailed a new report that suggests the capital's ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) has curbed more air pollution than is produced by two of London's airports or its river and rail transport combined. The study found that the £12.50 charge zone and the pre-existing low-emission zone (LEZ) resulted in a decrease in road traffic particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions by 180 tonnes across the city over a three year period."

Turns out Blackpool Tower wan't on fire.
It was in fact a piece of orange builders netting flapping madly in the wind.
Sadly, this piece of information arrived a bit too late for 'Turning Point UK', who had already decided the 'fire' was the work of Muslims.
Risible twats.

Probably due to less cars going there.
12.50 doesn't actually reduce any carbon

Genghis Khan is a hypocritical twat.

If Johnny Mercer was in an episode of Sharpe he would be Sir Henry Simonson.

That has enabled five million Londoners to breath cleaner air

We need more 'twats' that get results

It needs burning down , do you know it cost more to got the top of Blackpool Tower than it does to go atop the Eiffel, talk about a f**king cheek.

It transpires that the record NHS budget was caused by adding the £14.9bn PPE Fraud and Dido Harding's £36bn Test and Trace onto the NHS Budget. So in in reality the NHS budget has been cut for every single one of the 13 years that the Conservatives have been in charge.
Now they are set to abolish Inheritance Tax because they have stolen all the tax we had so all they can do now is ensure that are not the ones refilling the coffers.
As it stands there will be no end to this governments criminality and deceit until we have a free press and not one owned by off shore oligarchs.

We have stricter diving laws and higher duty on deiseal, which means EU rigs and drivers have always been cheaper than UK ones. Of course they were never going to pay a "congestion" charge of £15 , who's going to waist money chasing that, from a foreign country ?

New year, same old Tory lies

Not managed to successfully complete one of your pledges to the country? No problems, just lie through your f**king teeth and hope nobody notices

"Rishi Sunak's claim that ministers have "cleared" the asylum backlog is being investigated by the official statistics watchdog after allegations it is a "barefaced lie".

The UK Statistics Authority is looking into the Government's announcement that it has cleared a "legacy" backlog of applications, after figures showed more than 4,500 of these are still waiting an initial decision.

Nearly 100,000 asylum seekers are still waiting for an initial decision despite Tory brags of clearing the backlog. Latest Home Office figures show the UK's backlog stood at a massive 98,599 at the end of 2023 - 16 times higher than when the Conservatives took power and up from 91,076 in November.

Home Secretary James Cleverly also faces uncomfortable questions about more than 17,000 people who vanished after withdrawing their applications. He was also forced to admit that officials don't know where people who withdraw applications go - but vowed to "go looking for them"
