We want a General Election. We need that election for a fresh start for all of Britain and to reject their politics of hate. The Tories will go on destesting each other and Labour offers a better future
We voted for change
The buck stops at the top. Inept Rishi Sunak must own the devastating defeats for the Conservative Party at local and regional elections in parts of the country. But he isn’t the only Tory to blame for the rout.
Twice sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman should shoulder her share of the blame instead of pointing the finger solely at the wobbling Prime Minister. Because the results were a rejection of the Tories after 14 years of failure, even the Liberal Democrats as well as Labour winning more council seats than the Conservatives. Braverman lives in cloud cuckoo land if she genuinely believes the nation is crying out for her poisonous brand of divisive, bigoted, nasty politics with the Hard Right of the Tory Party and rival Reform UK forever plotting to turn people against each other.
Keir Starmer appeals because he’s decent, competent and strives to unite folk instead of dividing them. People voted for change, positive change. We want a General Election. We need that election for a fresh start for all of Britain and to reject their politics of hate. Tories will go on destesting each other. Labour offers a better future.
Heavy price
Estimates that caring for footballers with dementia could cost £1billion over the next 30 years is a ticking time bomb for the sport and a terrible tragedy. Legal action launched by former players and improved research mean the game could change and cash from huge TV deals will be diverted from rich clubs into caring for those who were injured at work.
The £1million pledged last year for ex-players living with dementia by the Premier League and Professional Footballers’ Association union is likely to be only a down payment. Awash with money in the top flight, football not taxpayers must pick up the bill.
A sad Yoss..
Actor Bernard Hill found fame as Yosser Hughes with his memorable “gizza job” plea in Boys from the Blackstuff when the nation was blighted by high unemployment in the Tory 1980s. How fitting that accomplished Hill fulfilled his own dream by going on to be given plum jobs in Titanic and Lord of the Rings.
