Starmer's vision quest

Look into who actually funded her.

Look who funded and still funds Trump. I know who's money I'd take.

If you Bluesky, this is a delightful dump on a Times columnist who thinks that immigration policy should be based on how people feel rather than actual data.

If you are going to take on Portes in an area of his expertise you really should understand the consequence of your arguments as he will, and is going to make you look pretty silly whilst he points it out. Glancy does not seem to get this.

The "early campaigning" for the coming Council elections is "interesting".

I received a personally addressed letter ie my full name and address on the envelope and Dear <christian name> at the start of the letter from "our Nigel". Not a flyer pushed through all letterboxes near enough the street. Must have cost them a bit but then realised ... (my understanding) is the election spending window for the Council elections doesn't start until 30 MArch so they are getting in more expensive campaigning whilst amounts spent are not limited or monitored.

Yes we had similar, which I mentioned a few days ago. My concern was, where did they get my (and my wife’s) personal details, we are NOT Reform supporters.

It looks like the military are controlling USA under Trumps mask.

Probably purchased a copy of the electoral roll, or a list from the DVLA

Haven't we already had this discussion?

Yes, when I mentioned I had been sent personally addressed mail by Reform, some days or even a week ago.

Actually, notice that Labour (locally) are also leafleting early than usual, and, with more coverage.

They get copies of the full electoral register as well as the marked register. I've "kicked-up" about this with my council putting in Subject Access Requests on all parties that took it.

One aspect I find very wrong is that it's made available and taken by parties who have never and have no intention of putting candidates forward in your constituency eg my registers from Norfolk were passed to "The Common People" Party who have only ever put forward one candidate and in a Cornish constituency - what business do they have being given ny personal details!

In fact coming elections soon be time for another set of Subject Access Requests on specific parties (they don't get extended time to respond just because they are busy doing other stuff).

I have no knowledge of this, but can't anyone obtain a copy of the electoral roll?
