Thatcher: Buy your own council house People bought social housing cheap Sold to private landlords Landlords put tenants on benefits in them Tax payer pays mortgage for private landlord on house which they paid for in first place ...and repeat #Housing #HousingCrisis

Streeting claims the government is 'centre left', whereas of course they're to the right of Thatcher, who placed an arms embargo on Israel.

Wow. Trump just said he got mad at Zelenskyy because he said “negative things” about his friend Putin. Do you need to hear anything else to determine which side he’s on?

I've been lucky enough to spend time in Ukraine and Russia ( Euro 2012, 2018 World Cup show when I worked in most Russian cities). Was based in Donetsk in 2012 and chatted with "western" Ukrainians and "Russian" Ukrainians over drinks, coffee, the lot. It felt from them very

More than £70m is being invested across the East Midlands to upgrade public buildings with clean power and cut energy bills. This includes money for Beechdale Ambulance Station in my constituency to upgrade its heating system and a large award for QMC. gov.uk/government/new…

New analysis shows that lowering speeds on our roads is saving lives. Every death on our roads is one too many. Slower speeds not only protect the most vulnerable, but help create safer streets. We’ll continue working to eliminate death & serious injury on the transport network.
