It comes to something when the crooked Tories believe they've the right to take the moral high-ground on perceived corruption.

What Angel Rayner's being accused of maybe a bit naughty, but it's not illegal. Isn't this (and worse) what the Tories excel at?

They champion the free market & when it suits them, & start whining & moaning when it doesn't.

One rule for them, & another for the working class... 🙄

Angela Rayner accused of tax fraud for being registered at living at a house she owned, whilst living at her ex-husband's home a mile away.

Both and are bought and paid for by rich donors, corporate sponsorship, and lobbyists

The moral high ground is abandoned Its a question of who is deepest in the gutter

Starmer's grand plan (or is that Peters?) to ditch the Lefties and appeal to the Tories only half works, he's ditching the Lefties but the Righties he loves are more interested in Reform.
Meanwhile decent people who understand what problems this declining nation are facing have little to vote for.
Westminster doesn't want us to exist.

Faith schools could win right to choose all their pupils

Dropping the rule that keeps intakes 50 per cent secular would be popular with Tories but might face fierce opposition from educationalists.

Haven’t these morons learnt anything? Increased Balkanisation of English education can only lead to greater division. But maybe that is what they want?

@MostlyTato I am not a big user of windows (loathe it) but I think the solution is to use the professional version rather than the pre-installed consumer version

I might be out of date on that and how/when you licence the install is up to you - there are many options

"Trusting" is the ultimate in stupidity. Obviously the last thing he is, is trustworthy. So either you have to be truly stupid to trust him or you have to be into his level of moral depravation: a genocidal Zionist, Murdoch supporting, totalitarian/anti-democracy, trickle down and privatisaiton enthusiast, anti-union and apathetic at best about poverty.

@JimmyB TBH the grauniad have a very poor grasp of numbers and statistics - there is no link go the survey data so I wouldn't necessarily assume its correct

Even if it is true, so what?

Not going to link to it here, but the BBC are yet again giving publicity to a non-story about the word 'Easter' supposedly being removed from Easter eggs because of Muslims and wokery, whipped up by the usual suspects. I've just complained to the BBC about them playing along with this disastrous culture-war bullshit, and I hope lots of other people will too.

@eleanorrees Eggs, flowers, rabbits, lambs etc , are pagan symbols appropriated into the christian version of easter anyway

Just like holly, ivy, yule logs etc, were appropriated

And it was Chritian Concern and the Telegraph who seem to be the source of this non-story - bunch of ignorant hypocrites

@Indyposterboy I feel the same - I am English & want to be free and thriving but fear that loss of the (admittedly limited) civilising influence of Scotland will make England a worse place

But I fully know that it isn't fair to shackle Scotland just because English politics is so dysfunctional

Hopefully will increasingly show what could be ...though it still wont get fair media coverage - even as part of the Scotland is ignored or maligned

OliverNoble,
@OliverNoble@mastodon.world avatar

@Indyposterboy I hope that happens too
I suspect that the media and mainstream political reaction will be more , militarism and jingoism and an increasing insistence that England is now even better having "taken back control"

Even younger people dont seem aware of what a strange outlier the UK is in terms of politics, constitution, and militarism
