What are you doing for middle class families regarding housing plans?
Low income holder or fraudulent of low income are getting council houses according to the size and choice of theirs.
Middle class hard workers are paying tax & rents or high mortgages to stay alive.
UK government has no plans for middle class families who also need affordable homes accommodation to stay. UK people need to think what they need in future.
They are making you lazy unemployed by reducing jobs & apportunities.

Yet more dodgy deals from these corrupt conservatives. The arrogance they exhibit is quite staggering, but the saddest part is that there is no credible political opposition to them so they are getting away with blue murder. Why ordinary working people keep voting to keep this bunch of self-interested maggots in power is one of the great mysteries of our times, except to say that when there is no alternative to shit, then shit it is.
We deserve better than this.

2 things … 1) why videos like that have so few views? 2) why does literally NO ONE (in the grand scheme of things) CARE?
Corruption has become the norm under Tories. "Donations" for this, "donations" for that … UKs legal and political system is well and truly broken. If I would compare it to anything else in the world, it would be somewhere between Russian oligarchy and US lobbying … which is literally the worst of both worlds.

I press downvote because you purposefully make it to 10 mins mark and squeeze 4 ads into your video. I use to like your video and watched every video you post because is concise but I been slowly dropping your channel cos all your video is now purposefully put to 10 mins mark with a lot of filler content. Not to mention there are more errors occur due to you want to rush as much videos out as possible. Really enjoyed the content and the time you put into make it. All the best for you

Opportunistic and parasitic by nature, the average tory gets wet dreams of serving their higher lords and masters, as in those with pots of money to throw about while they have to invent schemes to rifle the public coffers via expenses.
Yes, dodgy as fuck for sure.

Lol… This is the most passive-aggressive of the politically-biased channels on social media. So British. 🙂
All the titles show biased conclusions in the form of a question. Ha ha ha.
I'm I the only person who has looked at TLDR's videos for the last 8 months and only see videos created to establish doubt around Boris Johnson (decisions and policies), the Conservative Party, and Brexit Leave. The only Labour Party video is the announce the new leadership candidates and the new leader.
No videos about the destructive divisions in the Labour Party, due to a growing divide between the traditional blue-collar support in the northern and central towns, and the social activities in the cities… The anti-semitic policies and rhetoric unchecked at all levels of this party… The Labour Party's inability to table any feasible manifesto, that would not completely bankrupt the nation for many decades.
If a channel is proposing to be unbias and educational, then it is of critical importance that they cover the entire range of politics (right and wrong), without predetermined conclusions possing as questions. Lol… this so cracks me up.

I think Jenrick has to resign. There should not be traces of corruption in this country. He should have allowed to council to get the money. Corruption is wrong.
@cdeford
December 26, 2023 at 5:46 pm
Unlikely it's favours for a measley £12,000. Favours for friends is more likely. Even more likely is someone inexperienced and maybe unsuitable to be a minister. These things always look bad, but having dinners with donors who are also businessmen is normal. Building infrastructure right now is also desirable, but the social housing element is important.
