Typical narcissist. Not only did Tory James Daly insist the police re-open the inquiry about Angela Rayner, this Tory is now blaming her for the inquiry.

[Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Labour now beginning to stretch their legs after the disastrous beginning of the Tory election campaign.
Despite the BBC giving the non-candidate fascist Farage a huge platform (much more than the Lib Dems, SNP or Greens), they’ve dropped off by the same amount as the Tories.
The focus now is the size of the landslide. If the hard left join and vote appropriately, there is a chance the Tories could be relegated to the third or fourth largest party. Will they? Of course not. They need the Tories fully functioning as a ying for their yang, it’s why the SNP have done so well for years.

CH4 is starting to televise the Rest is Politics podcast from tonight (11:10pm). Their polling has the Labour lead narrowing from 18 points to 12 in a week.

An anonymous complaint, and you think Starmer wants to lose a sitting MP?
That doesn’t make any sense.

It only one poll of course, but no room for complacency. Remember we have with voter suppression with Voter ID, gerrymandering with boundary changes and a pending onslaught of misinformation via social media micro targeting
A reminder to everyone who wants the Tories gone to vote tactically

Labour and their Worthing West candidate Beccy Cooper are pursuing me all over the place with ads, including video ads on YouTube, which I’ve had multiple times.
It’s very good of them to keep reminding me of Beccy, but I really think their money would be better spent targeting people who are in that constituency rather than me who isn’t.

Providing information about each constituency is not ‘telling’ people how to vote, but being able to make an informed choice.
On a lighter note, I am 100% on board with the Lib Dems basically using the General Election campaign as a massive bucket list opportunity

I keep expecting a shot of a phonebox and this bully jumping out
Apologies if fixtures but what a horrible response
Funny. I’m getting the same. I’m quite near the boundary, but they really should save their money for the folk the other side of Rectory Road.

New Tory zinger.
Points on driving licences for fly tipping.
It's about time that there was some legal measures in place for this.

Fly tipping absolutely boils my piss, and I agree punishment should be significant, but the issue is catching/finding the ****s to dish out the punishment. Have they suggested how this will work?

Fly-tipping forces landowners to turn farms into 'forts'
Despite a drop in fly-tipping on public land, farmers say they are being targeted by criminal gangs.

Fines can be up to £50,000 + up to 12months in prison

conviction rates have declined of late.
Wouldn’t it be more economic to just open up the local authority run/tendered out, waste and recycling facilities to accept this waste rather than their foolishly construed money making schemes conjured up by these national and local politicians which when introduced just exasperated an already not insignificant problem carried out by unscrupulous waste clearance cowboys/businesses and plenty of residential populace who were/are too lazy and have no respect for their country, environment or fellow citizens and always would take the easy option and fly tip their crap for others to deal with. Charging for waste disposal was always going to increase these practices and East Sussex county council who operate their tips or franchises hardly improved this problem following last years ruling by Parliament whereby tips were instructed to receive and not charge for waste, restricting home owners etc to two small bags of decorating/building waste per week and any further bags charged at £6.00 each. A little more common sense, planning and education shown by the authorities and this disgusting practice would never have escalated to the current level of problem.
In my humble opinion like !
Sir Humphrey couldn't have put it more succinctly.
