    How is a council tax freeze going to work when he DOESNT promise to (or plan to) reduce mass immigration into the UK?
    More migrants to house = more housing benefits needed, and more council tax required.

    What a load of nonsense from labour – multi spends from the one "windfall tax"! Suggests there are going to be many more with the reference to "these power companies making huge profits" typical labour stance nationalise everything, they have no idea of creating viable business e.g. Croydon council -"Ive got a great idea lets buy a hotel and we will make millions" shame it went bankrupt along with a myriad of other schemes – but I'm sure that's someone else's fault as well.

    Freezing council tax results in higher parking charges and fines; they always find a way to bilk the ratepayer.

    I can’t afford my bills and I have to find money to pay more for pollution yous should all pay for it instead of the poor and suffering.

    Labour just try and just say the right things we want to hear but it’s hypocritical. As a survivor of child grooming at 7 I don’t want men in my safe space we should be protected but yous can’t tell me what a woman is. What about us smh 🤬🤬. Protecting men and not the women and children the left are showing you what patriarchy looks like in real time smh.

    Sorry for the rant but they don’t care that when we are most vulnerable men can just walk right in.

    Give trans individuals their own spaces instead of stealing our women have fought hard for our rights and here’s labour wanting to steal women and children’s rights. Mothers take their children into theses spaces what if a child is be groomed or sexually abused witch is a fate worse than death I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

    But say they are with their mum and they feel vulnerable too then a man walks in how will that child deal with their trauma?

    We did not vote for this we did not get a say in this it’s being forced on us and we need to fight back.

    More children are targeted than trans people. More children take their own lives because they can’t cope with the trauma so more take their lives than the trans community where is their protection??

    No parent should have to bury their children maybe you should do some research before coming on the tv to lie and gas light us all.

    Yous think yous are doing good but everything yous do turns into something bad and harmful.

    You are meant to represent us all not just one community.
    Wake up and smell the coffee and protect the children stand with women and children help make this world a better place. You have teachers grooming kids in the school behind parents back to sexualise them so they become desensitised your children innocent is under attack take more time to talk to your children tell them that no matter what they can come to you about anything and you won’t get mad. Check their devices turn the internet off at night or take their devices at night.

    Make sure you check every app that they have. Because this Labour Party doesn’t care about your wife and they don’t care about your children.

    At the let women speak rally in Scotland I was punched in the face for sharing my story by a man and the police did nothing even tho they seen it and even tho I had a bloody nose the police did nothing.

    They are getting orders top down to not arrest anyone from the lgbt community in fear of being called transphobic this is how much they care about women and children.

    If the government won’t protect us then people will take thing into their own hands 🙌 this is not good at all. Children’s lives matter ❤❤❤❤

    Charlie is making an absolute hash of trying to defend the indefensible, Sir Beer clearly stated and he's on Twatter claiming yet again he will freeze council tax this year, but as we've heard Liebour councils all over the country is raising council tax. Not because of cenntral government but because Left wing admins can not look after the money, Croyden Council went bankrupt onyl two years ago!! Socialists love spending other peoples money and when it runs out they blame the government for squeezing them!!!

    Time to take the presure of the UK tax pay.Stop all over sea aid replace it with starvation aid. Cut VAT to 10% and get the acconamy going again. The lower paid tax payer is still pay 20% tax with 20% vat it 40% tax is far to much . VAT should be cut to 10% that would really help the people on the bottom and the middle. 20% tax on every £100 we spend going to the government in tax is unacceptable. That what the public need to beet inflation

    Oh blah blah another UK politician pretending he has the good of the UK and its citizens as a top priority, the UK politicians are all pathological liers their own Manifestos are lies on paper or a list of promises that will never happen.
    They're all exactly the same all parties they're clones of each other there's no opposition at all, having trouble on the main priorities is it the proxy war Ukraine and Russia or is it the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants washing up daily in Dover, it's certainly not the UK citizens and the cost of living crisis they'll not be assisted in any realistic way the money that should be helping out the UK citizens is going to pay for MOD areas of unused barracks they have to be good enough for the illegal immigrants at least to the standard of the 4/5* hotels their getting for free with meals cooked no charges for any of that.
    The entire UK knows not a single illegal immigrant will be deported as the people smugglers told them lose your passport and any items that have your country of birth, they (the UK) can't deport you if they don't know what country you are from. They're all staying in the UK and our government are terrified of the Human Right Court, and this is why we wanted out of the EU.
    The UK is slowly dying and the unpatriotic UK politicians are choosing to ignore that fact.

Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
