What about Count Binface?
He wants croissant prices capped at £1.10.
I'm against aristocracy. Even with such economical pastries.

High levels of economic inequality are detrimental to society. Here's why:
Social unrest: When a large portion of the population struggles to meet basic needs while a small group enjoys vast wealth, it can breed resentment and social unrest. This can lead to protests, crime, and even political instability.
Reduced social mobility: Economic inequality can make it harder for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to climb the social ladder. If access to quality education, healthcare, and housing depends heavily on income, it can trap people in poverty.
Lower economic growth: Some research suggests that high inequality can actually hinder economic growth. A society with a large, struggling underclass may have less consumer spending and a smaller pool of skilled workers.
Health problems: There is a correlation between economic inequality and poorer health outcomes for the less wealthy. This can be due to factors like lack of access to healthcare, stress, and unhealthy living conditions.
Erosion of trust: When a large gap exists between rich and poor, it can erode social trust. People may feel the system is rigged and lose faith in institutions.
Not doing Wales or the North of Ireland "cos them's the breaks"? If you said, "because we're a English/London based channel and we dont know much about Welsh or Irish politics that would at least be accepting it's your problem. A flip dismissal is bad
They said what they said
They only have so much time. Why waste or on parties that's aren't national (I mean across the entire UK). An exception is made for the SNP due to their size.
Unacceptable - they could have done this as a two-parter.
@@franklingoodwin @franklingoodwin Reform has 1 MP and 11 local councillors. Plaid has 3 MPs and 202 councillors. Yet Reform - a far right outfit - get UK wide coverage every day. Apart from the single Green, Plaid is the only genuinely left party in Parliament. Perpetuating the preoccupations of the English is part of why we have such a regressive polity
@@franklingoodwinthe Greens aren’t a UK party and don’t stand candidates in either Scotland or N.Ireland.

Why cover Reform uk and not Workers party ?
Workers party have representation in parliament if not mistaken
Except they don't because there is no Parliament right now.
Another classic case of leftists trying to bring each other down because of minor differences
The polls
@@josephmcmahon7470 but they have more councilors in position and were represented prior to dissolving parliament
Stop pretending that people don't care about the workers party!
But people don't care about the worker's party

@@chuck1804You should care, otherwise you'll be trapped in poverty.
@@Noel-ji8nm it’s Galloway people take issue with, not the party. I won’t pay them any mind while that bigot is leader. Courting the likes of Farage and Nick Griffin makes him unelectable.

Nuclear energy is not zero-carbon, the carbon cost of building, commissioning, mining and refining fuel, transport and storage of fuel (UK has no natural uranium deposits), de-commissioning and waste storage render it a far cry from zero-carbon.
And we continue to kick the issue of waste down the road for future generations to solve
Plaid Cymru missed out. One of the major parties in the UK. Way to the left of Labour. Likely to win four seats in the election. Not including it in this discussion is a major fail for Novara. I expect this from the mainstream media, but from Novara I expect better.
That’s four seats whilst being continuously excluded from the discussion.
Couldn't agree more. I'm not in wales, but would like to hear what they have to say and hear it analysed. Thought their leader has seemed pretty decent and offering left wing/progressive ideas in the scant coverage he's had.
They didn’t include dup, uup, alliance, tuv, workers party, sinn feinn, sdlp and more either, the video would have been too long to do all of them, why do the comments only seem to have an issue with plaid not being included
@@xaviertrujillo506DUP should be there but none of them seem to be watching. Sinn Féin’s policy is to not show up.
Plaid Cymru has consistently had more seats than UKiP/Reform, Greens, and the Workers Party.
They are also a left wing party whose manifesto is what the left want Labour’s to be.
But because they aren’t English they aren’t considered relevant. Novara’s constant derisory remarks regarding Plaid are also derisory towards Wales/Cymru. We are to be ruled by a democracy, not to be a part of it.
@@matthewevans107 reform and greens are standing across the country, plaid is a welsh regionalist party, the only regionalist party novara has included is the snp which makes sense because they have the 3rd most seats of any party
I am wondering why you didn't say much at all about Workers Party & George Galloway??? Any reason Why?
Because WP won't get any seats so irrelevant and George Galloway will only get a small few. Very low % of overall UK polls.
@@OLLYZOGbecause they get zero coverage by mainstream media which includes Novara as they are the only party that pose a genuine threat to the establishment.
@@OLLYZOG how do you know this is the case.
@@roberttaylor7462 look at the National polls
Would’ve been nice to give Plaid Cymru 5mins, it’s an interesting viewpoint to analyse - particularly given the anti-Westminster feeling amongst a large number of UK voters.
They gave time to fash reform
Surprisingly Novara Media are quite nationalistic when it comes to England
No Plaid Cymru mention, perennial reminder that the etymology of ‘Welsh’ derives from the old English word meaning ‘outsider’ or ‘foreigner’. Always forgotten.
Im a Welsh nationalist, but ultimately Welsh politics is far less influential towards British politics than Scottish politics is.
@ThepPixel the video is an hour and a half long, they could spare us a second.
@@ThepPixelPlaid is the only party with experience of being in opposition to Starmer’s Labour. That alone makes them more relevant than the SNP or Greens.
@matthewevans107 what an ignorant statement lol. What's so special about Starmers Labour? SNP politicians can run circles around him which is why you'll see Kier try exclude other parties from debate nights.
Maybe you should've built a wall like the Scots 😂
I'm not happy either. You discuss Reform's manifesto but not the Worker's Party.
I have just voted Green in Norwich by postal vote. ❎❎❎❎They got in at the local elections!!!
No plaid, not worth watching then. Plaid Cymru have some real progressive policies that Westminster parties could learn from. Ignoring Wales means you’re no better than main media outlets. Shame on Novara.
I think 20/1 works for wages.
It’s what it used to be generally for CEO’s
Make the top rate of income tax, capital gains and more importantly corporation tax higher.
If you’re a corporation with 60 million in profits which you just send to share holders. If the tax office takes a much bigger cut of your profit it actively encourages businesses to invest that money back into the business either via staff or newer Equiptment. That is a big part of why productivity in the UK has slumped.
If CEO pay is linked to worker pay there is more reason for the CEO to make sure everyone is paid well.

Stop bigotry in schools ❌
Stop bullying in schools ❌
Stop sexual assault in schools ❌

Yeah that won’t happen woman.
Stop anti-white bigotry, yes.
How are the government supposed to stop bullying? It's a thing that has happened in every society throughout history literally ever. There has never been any civilisation in history that hasn't had to deal with some form of bullying. I'm not defending bullying, but I don't see how the government can do much to stop it. If anything it's down to headteachers of schools to prevent it when possible, but also it's the parents of the kids that are bullies to parent their kids better
Stop teaching fake history in schools.
Yeah I'm not sure how you expect the government to stop bullying lol
Very disappointed you not discussing British worker party.therefore not watching
Is the Reform Party of Farage intending to nationalise Private Hospitals to reduce NHS waiting lists?
Is Farage promising to 500,000 build good quality well insulated council houses a year to give poor people a better standard of living?
How could we have wasted our opportunity? Westminster refused to let us even have a say in this so called "voluntary union"
Voluntary my arse.
Imagine the uproar if England had to ask permission for the EU to have a vote to leave?
The ignorance of English journalism is off the charts.
So true. Novara are surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England! Anti democratic when it suits them.
@@CurtalA YES, but they are of the left like No Justice , and are good at pointing out the hypocrisy of MPs and give much needed balance to MSM.
He said they wasted their *political* opportunity. Actually making a referendum happen takes an enormous amount of political capital, it would be really difficult to repeat
*_A vote against genocide is a vote for humanity._*
Leaving out the Workers Party GB puts you in the same frame as the legacy media. I predict you will lose a lot of support as a result of that decision.
They're irrelevant and won't get any seats. The Greens are the new communists.
Why not George? He’s an MP with 155 candidates for .his Workers Party. What is his manifesto?
Because they don't have unlimited time and frankly the average person does not care.
Yes why not !George GALLOWAY a political giant leading the Workers Party 155 candidates , Craig Murray is campaigning for Blackburn again another political giant with decades of service to the British public. They will re nationalise public services in the same way it was done in 1945 .
@@mikestand8067Na, it's because they just don't like people with different views.
The thumbnail is dishonest it should be 'Some manifestos explained'
@@gearoftones8585 Unlike Reform, whom they agree with wholeheartedly... Galloway just isn't relevant to most people in this election
The title should be "ever manifesto explained......... With complete ignorance" 😂
NM does tend to be snobbish and look down on the fringe parties. Snp were barely mentioned, plaid were dismissed at the start and the LibDems treated as a joke. Reform were taken more seriously than the cons.
Got to say I was disappointed with this "episode'.
No representation for Wales again, no big surprise.
You don't like the Workers Party do you?
Anyone looking to make change but you aren’t sure how. Look in to the socialist worker’s party and stand up to racism. They organise lots of different days of action and are very welcoming. Also the Marxism festival is on the 4th - 7th July central London. ✊🏻🇵🇸🍉
i joined them a while ago! however, at least my branch, the north london one, has some supporters for galloway. it's unfortunate that people don't realise how anti woman's rights and anti lgbt he is.
@@dieu287 woah? i knew about the anti-lgbt but not the women's rights. crazy man
@@dieu287 That hasn’t been my experience, far from it. I’ve found them very helpful and useful. But no one has to join them it’s just the way I found to access events and other like minded people in my area. Any other suggestions are welcome this is just mine and I thought I’d share as I found it extremely difficult to find lefty people for years and felt isolated. Now I have some people. I don’t like Gorge the catboy Galloway.
Way to go faye✊🏻🍉 that will do it
*Manifestos as Car Speeding Off a Cliff:*
TORY - FASTER!!! Yeeesss!!! mwahaha
Labour - Maybe we should slow down? Stop or reverse? Oh heavens no! Slower will do.
LibDem - Sure, I'm down for what you guys want, but can the seats be more comfy?
Green - I really wish we could stop at least but none of you will listen to me. I guess maybe put on some nice music?
Reform - (fires gun)
SNP - This seat in MINE! You hear?! My seat! Not yours!
PC - This cliff reminds me of Wales.
Thanks for the much needed laugh😆
You need to do this sorry of thing again! 😂
@@syleshwhycantileavethisbla802 you're welcome haha I didn't think it was all that funny tbh, more of a metaphor, but good to know it entertained some folks
@@juliewake4585 oh? its interesting how something I typed in 2 minutes seems to have a small but appreciative audience hehe
When the Workers Party describes itself as socialist in its manifesto, and is running lots of candidates, many of whom may be as progressive and left wing as the thoroughly decent man standing for them in my own constituency, I think you would have been providing a service to your viewers (and financial contributers such as myself) by deep diving into their manifesto, if only to explain why we shouldn't be taking them seriously.
Vote Reform - only realist populist party that would actually look out for low-medium wage earners with no income tax below £20k and will reduce mass migration.
Nobody wants Galloway. Replace the leader and we’ll talk about The Workers Party. Halima is great, I think very highly of her, but not with Galloway as leader.
@@GetGwapThisYear Supporters of the Worker's Party probably the least likely demographic to be working 🤣
Disappointed that you excluded the *Workers Party*
You shouldn't have bothered with The Cons or Labour Manifesto, that is like pedalling Lies.
Biggest issue is funding our Mps by foreign countries like Israel and by big multinational companies that pay little to no tax in uk
First off why give Farage more airtime and not Worker's Party? No fan of George either but at least he's not a fascist
Pretty sure it’s because reform is polling over 10 percent while galloway is polling less than 1
@@MariamPassionfruit Well, I don't see Novara's role as being here just to parrot the mainstream media narrative and agenda but to cover perspectives that are at least somewhat left leaning, anti fascist and anti imperialist. They've shown a worrying drift rightwards recently. Farage is polling over 10% BECAUSE the MSM has been platforming him for years. Don't give him any more oxygen.
@@MariamPassionfruitand that’s because mainstream media give Farage and whatever he calls his party favourable representation. Novara say they are going to report on this differently but are reporting on it exactly like the mainstream media.
People in the LBGTQ community would disagree with that.
@@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn Last I checked Farage has the same positions as Galloway on that 🤔
small note: the danish social democrats did not do well in the european elections. they had their worst ever result and fell behind the green left socialist people's party which doesn't share the social democrats anti-migration politics.
Aaron should be the next PM, great shout again with trying to grow tourism. Levelling up could be used to give coastal areas a makeover and redevelop their tourist economy; even consider Cornwall where they have a lot of popular surfing areas they could stop pumping crap into the sea and try to host international events !!
You should definitely have discussed the manifesto of the Workers Party. Really disappointed in you!
Regarding aid to a free democratic people trying to stop an invasion by a dictatorship, at the end of April poor little Great Britain ranked 15th in the table of Support to Ukraine by donor country GDP ( incl. EU share). (USA was 22nd). Estonia and Denmark gave 1.8% of their GDP, we only had given 0.4%, the USA .03%. As a conditional pacifist I recognise the times when you need a foriegn policy to support other people from tyranny wether it be in Palestine or Ukraine.
Sorry can’t listen to this if your not covering the workers party I feel you at navara are supporting the main media Narrative to keep gg out off the conversation very disappointed ☹️
On the 10:1 pay ratio, as far as I can remember, that's a policy that was first proposed by George Orwell in the second half of The Road to Wigan Pier.. it always stuck with me as a good idea since I first read it about a decade ago, glad to hear it's back in the public discourse.
Why is novara media referencing the neo liberal economic think tank the IFS as if it is an unbaised or neutral source of information?
fantastic analysis
It's a shame you haven't covered Plaid Cymru's! I know it's regional but it's one of the best I've read so far
@@franklyevo Doesn't mention Welsh independence just far left nonsense.
"Plaid Cymru believes that independence is the best way to deliver real fairness and ambition for Wales. Independence would give us the levers we really need to grow and green our economy, and make governments in Wales fully accountable to the people of Wales for the decisions that they make."
Page goes on with loads of information...
Caveated at the end with
"We believe that independence for Wales is a decision to be made by the people of Wales, and the power to call a referendum on the constitutional future of Wales should lie with the Senedd in Cardiff, and not with the UK Government."
Go give it a read!
@@stephfoxwell4620yes it does. Try reading it before you talk about it.
@@stephfoxwell4620 if your criticism is that they don't front-load independence as a key issue, that would be valid criticism. Crazy far-left policies like nationalising Tata Steel in Port Talbot?
Wales is a country, not a region.
first issue not liked by me because there is Galloway, like or hate him but he is around and leaving him out is dishonest. You should have rather left the Labour manifesto out because that is only a fairy tale.k
Call me crazy but I think Labour might have a slightly bigger impact on the country in the coming five years than Galloway. Just a hunch.
@@HollowSun
That is missing the point. Why not feature SWP when featuring the manifestos? Starmer is not Labour when you think about him being sure the party will not win when he endorsed the last manifesto which he did not endorse. Or did he. I am confused. Is this manifesto a Labour manifesto at all? Two child benefit cap, no tax the rich, yes nuclear deterrent, all conservative talking points.
@@vidnosh7406 I think you're the one who's missing the point, they're discussing the manifestos that are important and relevant to this election (I will say I think it's weird to include the SNP and not Plaid); but they're not just picking manifestos they like. I don't know on the whole whether I prefer Galloway to the current labour party, I have huge issues with both; but the point is that what labour says right now really matters. Galloway doesn't.
@@HollowSun
even though you seem to have the glass bowl I so solemnly miss when ticking my lottery numbers, I still think you are missing the point. Starmer is not relevant as a labour leader. He is promoted for not being Labour. That will show during the election, like it did with Blliar after the Iraq war.. That is why I think his manifesto is irrelevant, even more irrelevant than that of the SWP. There is no Labour manifest with Srarmer, not the one I read, at least. PPI in the guise of an environment fund witch doesn't even try to hide the purpose of privatizing the profit and socializing the risk, the CEO of a private health care company running on a Labpur ticket playing out the vision for the NHS. The barge BIbi will stay with Starmer but definitely not with Labour, and so on. But anyway I think we disagree and that is fine. Just for fairness it would have been necessary though.
@@HollowSun
I still think you are wrong but the censoring is just too much to make a coherent argument and Starmer is not Labour, he is promoted because he isn't. The so called manifesto is all but Labour policies and it will show after the election. Just for the sake of fairness it would have been necessary to put up the SWP manifest, regardless of the fact that it is more authentic than the Starmer one.
Nuclear power is not 0 carbon. You need to mine uranium to power it. At most it is low carbon
by that metric there is no 0 carbon energy then. Wind mills and solar power also requires a lot of stuff that needs to be mined.
So are you saying carbon fuels would need to be used in the mining process? All renewables require machinery/manufacturing/resource extraction :D
Where is George Galloway? Please find him. If you search hard, you will. Good luck.
Novara are liberals, George Galloway is an anti imperialist socialist. They are not on the same side
No manifestos mention Gaza.
@@freddymzungu Or Brexit. Or Covid. Or the massive Debt. Or the grooming gangs.
I hope this comment is a joke. Brexit and COVID are no longer current news. Gaza is.

@@stephfoxwell4620once again, yes they do, multiple manifestos mention brexit and even the gangs. Have you read any of these things or are you just making stuff up for fun?

How about no borrowing no tax increases but simply putting people to work in meaningful jobs and printing the money to give them a share of the extra wealth they have created?
It's a very weird and uncomfortable hearing policies from the Reform manifesto and thinking "Yeah actually that's not a bad idea." I think if it was coming from anyone but the party of Nigel Farage I would be more entertaining of them. I'm still planning fo vote Green though.
Some of the policies are good though:
- No income tax below £20k - only party that is actually looking out for low-medium wage earners here
- Net 0 migration - mass migration has had too bad of an impact on house/rent prices, cultural issues, traffic and pressure on NHS etc
- Proportional representation.
Green are just detached from reality. All their pledges are to just to spend spend spend, ignoring the terrible fiscal/debt position we are in. More climate policy spending is going to be a final nail in the coffin for the country with no tangible impact to global temp/CO2 levels
Think that Aaron is being pretty harsh on the Green Party, there are loads of great policy offerings there, and plenty of detail on how they'd raise the money to fund these. Yes there a few things i don't agree with, but overall the manifesto is far better than others
The reason our Politics never changes, is because even our indie media won't cover
The SDP
The Workers Party
The Liberal Party of Britain
The Womens Equality Party
The SPGB
The Communist Party of Great Britain.
In which case I expect every manifesto from the smaller parties is a damn site more interesting than the usual subjects.
Those covered get enough media succour already.
Totally agree. Really disappointed.
They seem to be behind Labour now, bought and paid for
Does the womens equality party still exist?
I totally agree! They didn't mention Count Binface either! 😂😂😂
@@chillwinston8961 I think they got their first ever councillor in the most recent local elections
Ash and Aaron a brilliant summary and comparison of main party promises. It has made me realise that the exercise you have undertaken should be a continuous framework against which all participating contenders are compared. Obviously that would start an argument about which issues should be up for comparison in a UK issues framework. That way contenders could not bury issues that they want to pull the wool over the public eyes concerning. There should be a set date date when all manifestos are made public and a set date when all manifestos are compared with the UK framework of issues which are decided by the people by a referendum on issues perhaps one year before every election. The preliminary referendum could be perhaps 10 blank boxes in which people wrote 'one word' issues which concern them. We need new thinking and it really is essential to do as you both have done and do a comparison.
A bit of history that ties in with the Trident discussion - the UK is the only ever country to independently develop the capacity to launch satellite payloads into orbit (the Black Arrow in the 60s to 70s) and then abandon the technology completely. Because the USA could offer us cheaper launches, but it was another technological base that we lost.
You could say to private sector, guaranteed living wage (not minimum wage) for lowest paid workers and for small businesses that can't afford it, the 10:1 salary rule applies until the firm grows to the point they can afford to pay living wage to lowest paid workers.
what about the workers party?
Ash. As a diaspora, like me, what are your thoughts on what Kier Starmer said about Bangladeshi.
In addition to Aaron's statements about the E.U., there are overtures at the moment to start properly enforcing the national government spending limits within the E.U., the looseness of which was one of the soft left arguments for maintaining/rejoining.
I live in that weird bit of the blue wall where Labour is now likely to win my seat so I'm tactically voting against them and supporting the Lib Dems in the hopes that they do become the opposition. I am torn between them and Green though so maybe that'll change come next week.
Novara is absolutely biased. I have seen you give reform a platform but not workers party.
Plaid Cymru have 3 MPs whereas Reform have NONE. I REALLY would have liked to hear you discuss their manifesto 🙁
I have voted for Scottish Greens because of their commitment to decarbonisation, UBI, EV infrastructure and nationalising energy companies, but have reservations about them because they have no education policy for the UK outside Scotland and support independence, which I don’t mind in theory but in practice would cause major problems for my family over the border and my fiancée’s visa status.
Opening ourselves up to being invaded is the positive reason for scraping Trident. We're terrible at governing ourselves, let someone else do it.
More money for more staff is what schools need. Teaching assistant pay is an an insult .
Stop dissing George Galloway
Screw Galloway. He doesn't give a **** about English people. His whole campaign for Rotheram was about a foreign conflict thousands of miles away, ignoring our actual country entirely
Britain needs to be growing at atleast 3 percent a year to improve services and inf restructure.
This can not be done with a green transition which will cause degrowth .
Britain needs to deindustrialise
again , this can only be achieved with cheap energy.
Immigration is only a problem because of our infrastructure is not able to handle the extra capacity of people arriving.
We need to build extra houes , schools and hospitals.
The country was struggling when we had 55 million people.
Great opinions from you Aaron about rewilding. I hope you do your best towards that and follow George Monbiot’s advice about whether you should eat meat or animal products.
On pay scales: the key in the private sector should be transparency, allowing the customers/market to reward / punish those companies with equal/unequal pay scales. E.g. have legislation that mandates it be displayed on product packaging and/or company financial report and/or websites & relevant marketing materials.
To make sure bonuses are also fairly /equitably distributed, separate individual bonuses from company bonuses. Individual bonuses could possibly be capped at say 20/30/50% of each individual’s annual salary, whereas company bonuses are distributed equitably between all employees based on the company’s pay scales, i.e. if Telsa’s board want to give $20bn of its profits back to its employees, it goes equitably to all employees & not just to the top 1% of management. A company’s performance (such as Tesla’s) is due to the contribution off all the employees & now t just the CEO.
shareholders pay ceo
I think Aaron nailed the Labour manifesto on the quango's as it was the consistent theme throughout. It seems to me they plan to set up a lot of talking shops to employ their cronies and shovel money that would be better used on frontline services. I have to ask what have Labour been doing for the last 5 years if their plan for government is to develop strategies to fix the countries problems, surely they should already have those strategies in place !!
I would vote for Ash Sarkar as Commissioner for Villains.
On the Salmond quote, a bunnet is a hat. The jacobites wore blue ones.
Turn mobiles into tools to help with education instead of banning them, i use my phone all the time to take notes
Grateful we got out before next govt gets in. We breathe easy elsewhere in the world.
Was initially going to vote Labour to 'get the Tories out' but now that it looks like Labour are quite safely going to be the next government and they might even get a super majority, my vote has to go to the Greens 💚
Really astonishing when sunak stood up and said he’d delivered because his primary objective was improve economy, he has no other vision for Britain
Well the economy is really what matters. In my opinion the government should have as small a role as possible in social matters. Sunak’s problem is that he hasn’t really improved the economy
I already voted green
Quite suprised by Aaron on the new deal for workers. The document is quite substantial and includes a repeal of the anti union laws brought in by Dave Cameron which has really hampered unions in organising and being able to strike. Have you read it?
If Novara get 50,000 donated, no Ash you cannot have air conditioning in the studio. 🤣🤣🤣
I've voted for the Greens ❤️💚
Green
What industries do we want to grow Aaron?.
Can someone explain why people have blamed the record net migration over the past few years on the fact we left the EU but it’s at record levels across the entire western world?
It's paid for by far left Ngo's
The blame lies with government policy. After Brexit, the goverment had control over the number of migrants entering the country, but decided to:
- Keep "skilled" migrant salary requirement at £26k until April 2024, resulting in a high volume of low skilled migrants.
- Extremely lax student visa rules, including allowing students to bring their parents and siblings as "dependents"
- Government failures over dealing with illegal migration / refugees
Because the entire political left are permanently steeped in their own logical fallacy.
If the U.K. adopted a national retrofit programme to upgrade the energy efficiency of our 30 million homes (paid for with taxation on fossil fuel industry profits) we could cut our electricity consumption by ~30% and remove the need for nuclear power.

This was a great deep dive, very informative and pretty unbiased (I say pretty unbiased, becuase there's no such thing as completely unbiased). While I'm pretty set on voting liberals, because one. Their the ones most likely to stop our current conservative candidate and two, I prefer most of their policies. It has reaffirmed my decision and I don't feel like I'm just voting tactically anymore and after watching this I can see what the lib dems are actually offering
Is the Reform Party of Farage intending to build a rapid transit Metro in Leeds to match London, e.g., the DLR and the electrified Overground?
Ash and Bastani this is overdue but I am late to the ( ) this is important to us 4th of Julyiers.. Peace.
Alba will get little or nothing this time, but all those independence supporters currently disgusted with the SNP need a new home…I wonder if they will make a breakthrough in the holyrood elections in 2026?
Don't the greens plants grow our economy by growing the green jobs sector? Also the care sector?
How do you know immigration is going to fall? I’ve heard you say this a few times, but you’ve not said what predictors you’re using to support this conclusion?
The issue is that Sunak's, Starmer's and Reform have a reputation for acting very differently from whatever they promise. Essentially the bad stuff they put in the manifesto, like the Tories' extremism on removing rights and forcing our youngsters to learn to murder are what they intend to do.
Starmer's Tories being Tories policywise and pushing austerity and privatisation of the NHS and Energy...
Of course, none of them mention their continued support for the on-going genocide.
It's got to be Greens or socialist independent.
Of course not having a growth model when growth is what is harming the country is a good thing!
What do you mean growth is whats harming this country. Makes no sense especially given that we’re not even growing
Two words sums them all up, Lies ,Rubbish.
Good point that war and economic collapse drives migration; But it isn't so simple as the US being insulated. The US takes a disproportionate share of refugees from countries like Venezuala, Europe from Ukraine and the middle East. The important thing is to point out that stopping the boats really needs a more peaceful world.
In Scotland it will be interesting to see if there is a decline in the SNPs seats whether this is actually a big decline in their vote, or Tories switching to Labour and therefore making a more united unionist vote?
I do think it is the consolidation of unionist seats. I'm an independence supporter and I would never vote for unionist parties, I can't imagine other supporters feeling any different
Why have we got record numbers of people off sick since 2020? Are they all jab injured or just fed up?
Why don’t you tell us? With proof please
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say maybe because we have an ageing population, a criminally underfunded and overstretched NHS, and full-time work that pays poverty wages, which doesn’t incentivise putting yourself in an early grave for.
They're fed up with being sick.
