It beggars belief that ordinary low paid people in the UK are being asked to pay more NI whilst this is going on. Loads of these properties are hidden in offshore trusts and companies base in Britihs Crown dependencies.

We are being cheated and conned at every level by those in charge.

I think you will find those on lower incomes now pay less due to the NI tax threshold

That's also a typical Tory ploy to ensure low paid people will not be entitled to a State pension as they will not have paid enough contributions..

The Met Police have said they're not going to issue any more Downing Street fines until after the May local elections.

So, so bent.

The criminality and abuse of power and total disregard for the offices of State from this Government are shocking.

If the Tory party don't do the honourable thing and sack the fat cnut, this Country is going to be in deep shit.

I see the coward has disappeared of to India today so he doesnt have to face the music. I hope he gets the shits!

I suspect Johnson might have to be forcibly removed from office in a similar way to Trump.

We need to be sharpening the guillotine in readiness.

I see the Tories have leaked a new Madelaine McCann story to deflect from the fact that Johnson is the first PM in history to be investigated for misleading Parliament.

If the Tories lose power at the next election, any new Government should ensure there is a full investigation into how money was spent in the pandemic, who it went to and why they got any contract.

The Tories have managed to get in legislation that you need to have photo ID to vote. That means a decent number of people won't be able to.

They've also put the fully independent Electoral Commission under the control of Michael Gove.

We've lost the right to peaceful protest.

Most people are poorer now than when the Tories took over in 2010.

I don't care what you think of the Labour Party or the LibDems, we all have to start engaging in tactical voting to get rid of these charlatans.

I would agree, unfortunately there are just too many people who either

a) are Tory faithfuls
b) don't believe they have the power to change so don't try
c) don't give a **** so long as they are ok
d) believe anything they read in the paper/Facebook etc...

I will be voting locally based on the candidate, regardless of party. I'm done with party politics they're all sh!t. Not quite as bad isn't good enough anymore.
