The truth is that when people 'donate' they usually expect something in return. Officially that's not the way it should work, but it does. Maybe he sees that a future Labour government can 'do something for him'? Shock horror The Labour Party ditches it's stupid class warfare and recognises to distribute wealth you have to create it. Hello... Than eff for that They haven't ditched their stupid class warfare. It's still there. VAT on Private Schools? Scrapping Non-Dom status?

Go girls Ipsos publishes its first MRP (multiple regression and post stratification) model of the 2024 General Election. This Ipsos MRP projection uses a large-scale online survey of nearly 20,000 participants on the Ipsos KnowledgePanel, and population data at a constituency level, to project which party will win individual seats at the upcoming General Election. The estimated seat counts, with upper and lower range estimates, are as follows: Labour 453 (with a range of 439 to 462 seats) Conservatives 115 (with a range of 99 to 123 seats) Liberal Democrats 38 (with a range of 35 to 48 seats) SNP 15 (with a range of 13 to 23 seats) Plaid Cymru 4 (with a range of 2 to 5 seats) Reform UK 3 (with range of 3 to 10 seats) Green Party 3 (with a range of 0 to 4 seats) Gert Lush mind ππππ Yep,your boys and girls are going to win by a big margin that seems a certainly. I hope Reform can get more than 3 seats,but it seems to me Farage winning at Clacton will make him 'box office' in Parliament and effectively he and Reform will offer a real alternative and Opposition to our Labour Government . The goal for Reform will be electoral reform and a referendum system similar to what the Swiss have. I suppose how many people actually vote for Reform will play a big part in creating a platform for a political reformation in the UK.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on a boat in North Devon..ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/6/19/7adfa2ba-46b2-4edc-b82a-49930026d2c1.jpgThe Guardian uses a picture of Sunak on a boat under the headline "All at sea?". It also reports Labour saying that the "NHS will buy beds in care homes to cut hospital waits". The Daily Mirror uses the same image of Sunak on the boat. The headline reads "you're going to need a bigger vote". It adds that the Tories are "adrift from reality" and, using the same pun as the Guardian, says that the PM is "all at sea". The Daily Mail says Labour has a "secret tax rise dossier" with plans to raise Β£60bn, while the Daily Express's headline quotes Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as saying "Labour will tax your years of savings in weeks". The Daily Telegraph reports "tax raid fear" as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer "suggests savers are 'not working people'". The Times also criticises Starmer's definition of "working people", and also reports that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson "shuns campaign trail as Tories face red wall decimation". ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/6/19/677ae89e-b344-4717-abe7-6136ae160940.jpg

LBC, where callers on Nick Ferrari's Breakfast show are putting questions to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/f0be/live/f21ef340-2e0a-11ef-a044-9d4367d5b599.pngBefore getting into listeners' questions, the first one put to Rishi Sunak comes from LBC host Nick Ferrari. How does the prime minister feel about the latest CPI inflation figures - which are 2% for the 12 months to May, down from 2.3% in April? The prime minister says the last few years have been "tough for everybody" but his government "stuck to a plan". "It wasn't always easy, but we've got there", he tells Ferrari. One of the first callers on the LBC phone-in asks Rishi Sunak if he would happily commit to serving as a backbencher in the event he loses the general election. The prime minister laughs and says he's focused on winning the election and talking to people around the country. Ferrari then presses the listener's question a bit further - and asks Sunak directly if he will serve his full term if elected. Yes, Sunak says, before diverting attention back to why he's here which is to "serve people". He reiterates his pledge to cut taxes. Sunak is now being asked about the challenge Nigel Farage's Reform UK party is posing to the Tory campaign. An average of recent polls suggests Reform is now the third most popular party - behind the Tories and Labour, which is some 20 points ahead. Sunak responds by saying there are only two choices for prime minister in this election - him or Keir Starmer. He also tries to direct the focus of the conversation onto repeated promises to cut taxes if elected. Host Ferrari returns his focus to the Farage question: Would you welcome him into the Tory fold in the coming years? "I'm focused on winning this election," Sunak says. ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/6/19/9c176505-6f14-4679-b39f-4c94c9ec4439.jpgSunak is now fielding a question about Tory donor Nick Hester, who made alleged racist comments about former Labour MP Diane Abbott. Hester has apologised for his comments, which were allegedly made at his company's headquarters in Leeds in 2019. "If people are genuinely contrite and apologise, that should be accepted," Sunak says. The prime minster previously described Hester's comments as "racist" and "wrong". When pressed by Ferrari if he would return the money from Hester, the prime minister maintained his previously held line, which is that the man had shown remorse and he accepted his apology. Back over to Rishi Sunak's phone-in on LBC - the next question comes from Theresa, who says the "the NHS has gone from five stars to one star". She shares that her partner who had cancer received care that was "second to none" and that she was later diagnosed with breast cancer, which she then describes the treatment as being "horrible". Sunak begins by saying he's sorry to hear about her partner and her diagnosis, adding that the pandemic caused "enormous disruption" to cancer treatments. He says specifically on breast cancer, his government is rolling out community diagnostic centres across the country and hiring more oncologists and radiologists. Theresa says she has a fear of going into the hospital and just being left there, given a lack of staff. Sunak promises closes by promising to get Theresa's details to ensure she's getting the care that she needs. ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/6/19/0de6a87b-5438-41c7-a84a-4f591bbfbf6d.jpgMore on the NHS now, as Rishi Sunak is asked about waiting lists. As a reminder, reducing waiting lists was one of Sunak's five pledges set out at the start of 2023. Host Ferrari puts to the PM that waiting lists have actually risen since he made the pledge - 7.2m at start of 2023 and 7.57m at the end of April this year. Sunak has previously said that industrial action in the health service "has had an impact" on cutting NHS waiting lists in England. Ferrari says there was no industrial action in April and asks whether it shows Sunak's policy is not working. The PM says his party has not made as much progress as he would have liked but they are now coming down from the peak of just below 8 million in November 2023. He says he is "confident they will keep coming down over time". One LBC listener asks: What makes you think you can win in a general election when you didn't beat Liz Truss? A reminder, Truss beat Sunak in the Conservative leadership race in the summer of 2022. She resigned after the fallout of her mini-budget in October 2022. "I know people didn't want to hear what I had to say at the time," Sunak says, "but ultimately I was proved right." "What Labour and Keir Starmer is offering will take us backwards," he adds.

Labour suspends candidate over 'pro-Russian' post Personnel in protective coveralls and breathing equipment work at the Salisbury District Hospital in March 2018 after a man and a woman were poisoned in a nerve agent attack IMAGE SOURCE, AFP Image caption, Personnel in protective coveralls in Salisbury in 2018 Harry Farley BBC News Political Correspondent Published 6 hours ago Labour has suspended one of its candidates after reports he shared "pro-Russian" material online. Andy Brown, who is standing in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, also shared a post that appeared to downplay allegations of antisemitism against Labour, as first reported by the Press and Journal. A Labour spokesperson said he had been suspended pending an investigation. Weeks after the Salisbury poisonings Mr Brown shared an article on social media in April 2018 from the Russian state media outlet RT. It claimed the "toxin" used in the Salisbury poisonings was "never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states". Novichok death inquiry into Dawn Sturgess' death to start in October Separately in April 2018 he also shared a quote from a Jewish historian that said "the real issue... is that right-wing Jews in the Labour party and outside the party object to the fact that Jeremy Corbyn is a consistent supporter of Palestinian rights". A Scottish Labour spokesperson said: "Andy Brown has been administratively suspended from the Labour Party pending investigation. We have taken the decision to withdraw support from a parliamentary candidate during a General Election. "Anas Sarwar and Keir Starmer have changed the Labour Party and said that every candidate and MP would operate to the highest standards. This action shows that they meant it." The deadline for political nominations has closed. That means Mr Brown will still appear next to the Labour logo on the ballot paper on 4 July but will stand as an independent if elected. The Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross is also a candidate in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East as well as the SNP's Seamus Logan. A full list of candidates is available on the BBC News website.

At a car wash near Swindon's train station all the staff are recent migrants.
The manager, Fazlumenallah Azizi, 50, employs them and admits he came to the country on the back of a lorry as an Afghan asylum seeker back in 2001.
But he thinks immigration has now gone too far in Britain, putting pressure on public services. "If you're going to the hospital now you have to wait three to four hours now, that's an example," he complains.
even the foreigners can see what there doing to public services ππ, just the thick commies who cant

At the 'close of play' yesterday, 882 illegal immigrants got to England via the English Channel on a boat.
A record number in a day apparently.
Vote Reform.
