Endless waste
SO much for the change we were promised and that people voted for.
With Labour backbenchers turning on Sir Keir Starmer just 14 months into his shambolic reign, the country faces the same leadership chaos, the same internal party back-stabbing and the same undemocratic plotting we had under the previous Conservative government.

There’s something else that hasn’t changed — the bloated size of the public sector.
The more unproductive it is, the more it grows and the more of your money it hoovers up.
There are now 6.15million public sector workers — up 35,000 in just a year, and up 790,000 in the last ten years.
It means taxpayers are on the hook for nearly £6TRILLION in gold-plated public sector pensions.

Now come figures showing Government quangos swallowed £376BILLION of taxpayers’ money last year.
They just love splashing your cash, don’t they?
The country is teetering on the edge of a financial black hole and while Chancellor Rachel Reeves looks for ever more ways to tax us into oblivion, the answer to many of our economic woes is staring the Government in the face.
Cut the unsustainable welfare bill, end the obsession with Net Zero and slash the ludicrous 438 unelected bodies eating up a third of public spending.
It can’t go on.
Too few taught
IT’S a crying shame that two thirds of under-40s don’t know what the Battle of Britain was.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, how is it that so little is known by so many about such a pivotal moment in our past?
They probably don’t even know who Churchill was.
On the 85th anniversary of the RAF’s historic victory, which helped to prevent Hitler’s Nazis from invading this country, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick rightly says we have allowed the Left to portray our past achievements as a source of shame, and a crisis of national self-confidence is the inevitable consequence.
You can’t learn lessons from history if you’re not even taught it in school.
It doesn’t bode well for our future leaders.
RIP Ricky
THE death of boxer Ricky Hatton at just 46 is a terrible tragedy.
The “Hitman” was a true warrior and not only in the ring, where he was a four-time World Champion.
He was equally courageous out of the ring in his fights against addiction and depression.
It is little wonder he was loved by thousands and an inspiration to many, especially those who had their own mental health battles.
