A Conservative MP has the temerity to complain about the reduction in trial by jury at #pmqs

Since 2010, because of Tory #Austerity, at least 295 court facilities (including magistrates', county, tribunal, family, and crown courts) were closed in England and Wales, according to figures reported in 2019.

Isn't it nice to know an archivist xxx

Starmer tries to defend Exxon Mobile, saying at today's # #pmqs 'They have been facing losses for the last five years'

Exxon Mobil's overall global earnings grew significantly at an average annual rate of 28.6% over the last five years; however, their UK operations have faced significant challenges, culminating in the planned closure of the Fife Ethylene Plant in Scotland in February 2026

As part of the US-UK trade deal, the UK now buys cheaper Ethylene from Trump's America.

Well done Keir x

At today's #PMQs Chris Philp AGAIN says, "Illegal immigrants crossing The Channel'

1 it is not illegal to cross the English Channel

2 They are not immigrants. They are asylum seekers

3 We require a healthy young population to work and pay our increasing pension dividend

4 82% of all claimants are granted asylum

5 Philp is a nationalist scumbag
