time and respect for Carla Denyer.

did you happen to hear her lies on radio four this morning, claiming that sewerage overflow is the result of privatisation (surely she's not that poorly informed of the facts) and the greens will fix it, I'd love to see the costings for that.

and I think Starmer is enabling and encouraging racism and xenophobia so as to appeal to a type of voter that mostly only exists in his head

the greens are doing that too, with the Bristol east candidate. with an inference onto the voters for what they think.("because they're brown skinned, they'll like the anti-semite")

It partially is though? Privatisation has meant that companies are taking money out as dividends that should have gone into infrastructure. It's led to multiple individual monopolies around the country while rich foreign owners pocket bill-payers money. Even Rees-Mogg has said they should be seized back without pay to the owners!

 

Fixing it is a nightmare, and isn't as simple as renationalisation. However renationalisation and improvement of the water companies can more realistically meet the public's expectations than renationalising the trains could.

Yep. Every single political party is doing it. I don't like it from anyone and I'm criticising them all. As I said, I'm not being tribal, I just want to vote for someone campaigning for left-wing policies who isn't racist. It's a disappointingly difficult bar.

Swinney making the SNP vote against sanctions for Michael Matheson is a great start to their campaign!

Looks like the anti smoking thing won't happen now.

I see the SNP vote collapsing down to around a dozen seats actually. I think without Sturgeon, and having gone back to Swinney but giving Forbes a prominent position, they're in negative momentum and their failures will stand out more than their successes.

Sunak going to keep banging on about Rwanda during this campaign.

Tbh if anyone connected to Sturgeon gets charged with embezzlement, they've got bigger issues than homophobe Forbes

Just to follow some of the previous comments, I hope Ozanne is okay. And just in case he might still be reading - big love
