In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

Tories at a lowest point in their history, and the current Labour leader a liability + no other feesible contenders elsewhere to form an opposition, for the next general election there will likely be the lowest recorded electoral turn out in UK history. Yikes !!!
@nigelsmith2044
January 4, 2024 at 6:32 pm
There will be no election in 2024…..jan 25 if that.
We are on the brink of war..uk getting involved in issues in the red sea, israel conflict, and Ukraine..i believe tensions will reach breaking point in 2024, uk will impose emergency measures as uk gets involved in some conflict, together with usa…..that means a election will be postponed indefinitely.
The tories know what they are doing. They gonna nowhere… i believe compulsory military conscription will return in uk in a couple of years as war comes

I buy one razor every 6-8 months for a couple of pounds. If you want to lower your plastic footprint, avoid products with excessive packaging, keep cotton/junta bags, avoid one use plastics. People generate on a daily base so much plastic waste that they don't even give two thoughts about…almost as if they thought that buying a non-plastic razor will even the balance out. Well, it won't. Look at what you're doing daily, inspect your habits, identify your worst polluting habits and remove them from your lifestyle completely. Only after that having a bamboo toothbrush and non-plastic tools (in general) will make sense.

The current system is showing signs of strain due to government and federal policies. In the coming days, the banking crisis would need to reach an unprecedented scale for the FED to avoid raising interest rates. However, that seems unlikely; an increase appears imminent, potentially leading to a market downturn. Anticipate more challenging times in the latter half of 2024, marked by market turbulence, escalating inflation, and potential bank failures. I'm curious: will the swift interest rate hike benefit a value-driven investor, or is it wiser to steer clear of stocks temporarily?

I think given the Budget is on the 6th March, I would be surprised if the general is not on the same day as the locals. Why would the tories want to lose even more councillors than if they put the GE the same day where they’d lose fewer councillors, and most likely lose by a smaller amount in the general?
Things are only going to get worse in the summer, immigration in particular where they’d haemorrhage more votes to Reform. But the economy won’t pick up much, at least they can hand out a load of tax breaks in March and hope for the best in a May poll…

I'm nearly 60 now. I get the feeling I will be well into my retirement before I see another Tory government. If Labour do the right thing and opt for electoral reform then the Tories may be locked out of power for decades and maybe forever. Could this really be the final Conservative government before they fade into political insignificance? Obviously if that happens some new right wing party would eventually rise to take their place .
