SIR – It seems that the kind of "working person" Labour has in mind is someone who has savings of less than £1,000 (report, June 19). Is Sir Keir Starmer suggesting that anyone trying to better themselves by saving for a deposit for a home, or putting a bit aside for an emergency, or making sure that they have enough for their care in old age, shouldn't be counted among "working people"? What utter nonsense.Francesca ButtonPortsmouth, Hampshire ....Me, I've voted for Reform

scruff...as the property prices have been going up and the last 2 years of finance rates are up more houses are turned into HMO's to make it viable/profitable...this trend has been going on for the last 5 - 6 years...

talking of migrants...if these migrants coming via boats are generally paying £3000 to people smugglers as per media reports for a boat ride to UK then how about if they want to have their application processed they have to pay another £3000 to home office...coast guards interception and home office application process all costs time and money...then there is the hotel costs...it might just deter some coming via boats...

Don't we pay the French to stop them? They aren't trying very hard are they if they let 800+ through the net

Credence was a word associated with probity and truth.
No longer in the vernacular dictionary,
But who has one ? Not kneel - ange cant read - just a ginge - not good news.

Dont you worry about Cauldwell. Read my post this am. Hes giving em nowt but a nod. Running with the hare and the hounds. You dont get a knighthood and government contracts from the opposition.
Sunak doesnt know what day it is. If I had to walk through a minefield Id follow in Sunaks steps - from a distance. He would have trod on em all by the time I got there.

Now that the politicians and the police dont interfere with activists they have a free hand. Attacking stone henge. Bet my last bob none of em vote conservative and they all call Farage all sorts of names. They are getting worse cos nobody is any longer in authority or gives a toss. Anarchy rules in the UK and is getting worse.
It absolutely guts me that they had an 80 seat majority and did absolutely SFA

Tories down to 53 seats in new poll.
Reform zero.

If these polls are right the Tories will never recover.

Seeing those rubber boats assisted by the French, should be so easy to stop, is making people very angry.

So many human shields (children). Use the word 'children' and they say that is ok then.
8 billion people out there waiting to come here. Everyone welcome.

Insnity, and Labour will be no better.

More than 880 people have arrived in the UK in a single day after crossing the English Channel – a new record for the year so far.

Home Office figures show 882 people arrived in 15 small boats on Tuesday.

That was the highest daily total since October 2022, when 1,047 people arrived in UK waters in one day.

The latest crossings bring the total number of arrivals for June to 1,865 people, with 12,313 making the crossing so far this year.

The total so far for 2024 is higher than at the same point in 2022 and 2023.

As off 18 June in 2023, 10,472 people were recorded as making the crossing, compared with 11,659 in 2022.

He called the election date knowing inflation figures would be down to 2%...all scripted not coincidence timing...

[xxxxxy] 19/6/2024 12:34

034.Well, the Conservative Elite really made it happen....Seems bonkers to me....but that is the way it is.

[gotnorolex] 19/6/2024 12:31

Sunak delivers, inflation down to 2% but thanks for nothing, here's your walking ticket! What ever happened to "Its the economy stupid!"

Even if Farage wins Clacton and a few other seats, he will be nothing in the house of commons if Labour have a huge majority.

Why should they care about the rag tag opposition from any other party?

The real problem longer term is that the real lefties in the Labour Party will start to agitate for more extreme socialist policies.

Whether it will be decend into the chaos of the war in the Tory Party between the European Support Group and the front bench remains to be seen.
We remember the Party members de selecting MP's who were remainers.

Things will start smoothly, and there is always chance that Starmer will be a great Prime Minister. Eventually though there could be civil war.
Huge majorities create problems of their own. Votes at 16 will be a game changer.

It is the re shaping of the Tory Party which will be iteresting. A lurch to the extreme right as in France,maybe with Farage involved is a possibility.
But who cares if they only have a few seats. They may never come back similar to the Liberals in the 1920's.

Apostasies John Caudwell and Jim Ratcliff have succumbed to the socialists, guess are happy to change their tittles to Oligarchs!
Wonder if Charles Dunstone talk talks the same language now.
