Certainly not safe routes.
We need investment in our immigration service and some co-operation with the EU to have a consistent approach to decision making and the sharing of information and resources of repatriation.

I will take just one to start to make it easier for my dyslexia, I hope by saying that it won't derail the thread, although there were many others you could have pointed to.
I look forward to seeing where he draws the line with working people, I thought he was all about detail? What actually does he define as working people? He even classed himself as a working person didn't he?
Do you have the detail Zerberdi?

Thanks, I am reluctant to click on that link as it has a rather dodgy look about it.Not at all.
This is what is thought will be included in the Kingās Speech on Wednesday based on various newsleaks but no one will know any details until the King presents it to the House of Lords.
The Labour Party manifesto is in this link but donāt expect everything to be included or even referenced on Wednesday , the manifesto is a broad policy approach and longterm goals for the next 5-10 years - The Kingās Speech is just legislative measures that will start implementing some of the manifesto pledges for this parliamentary year.
Labour Party Manifesto 2024: Our plan to change Britain ā The Labour Party
Labour's manifesto for the 2024 General Election is here, and sets out our fully-funded plan to change Britain.labour.org.uk
Edit - generally when politicians use the phrase āworking peopleā, they mean everyone over school leaving age and under retirement age who is earning a working wage.
I will reluctantly give it traffic, but stay open mined and I might take a week for any response from me regarding it. Heave admin this, my left brain is in need of a recharge.worthingseagull123

Also, take away recourse to public funds for anyone who has not worked in the UK and paid several years of income tax and NI, for those not born in the UK.

We had plenty of this co-operation etc. with the EU ... before we decided to leave.

rejoining the eu seems most sensible
He explained this before the election when he said he wouldn't raise taxes for working people.
Asked what he meant by āworking peopleā in a radio interview on LBC on Tuesday, Sir Keir said: āPeople who earn their living, rely on our [public] services and donāt really have the ability to write a cheque when they get into troubleā he said.
Confirmed in the bills to be announced on Wednesday. Steadily, without having to buy out operators. But what happens to Network Rail and its vast estate? Interesting times ahead @jackalbion ?

Good news. Spiking a drink is to be a specific crime. My daughter in law was a victim and lost a night somewhere. Wicked crime, usually against women out on their own, that hasn't been taken seriously enough till now.

I don't understand it though. Has it not been against the law for some time ?

not a lot, Network Rail has been publicly owned for about 20 years.

Very interesting, but I donāt think itll be much change really, take a look at LNER for what the new nationalised network is likely to be like.

I have also had my drink spiked, by mistake I think, a very unpleasant experience, not nice for anyone.

That's my view. I think a lot of folk are under the impression that nationalisation means cheaper tickets. But the profit margins of the operators are small in relative terms.
I would also imagine that the largest government subsidies are invested in season tickets too. The only way, from what I can see, that prices would come down is with more government investment and subsidies.
I'm broadly in favour of public ownership, but I'm not convinced that things will improve for the railways. I actually think (tin hat time) that they are better now than they were before (excepting complex fair structures)

Understandably so, the question is obviously if a child that age is responsible enough to make important political decisions should they also be deemed responsible enough to do other things like driving, or serving on the front line, or being criminally responsible?
This is not something that should be rushed through without real consideration of the wider implications.

You are right that this thread was intended to be about personal experiences.
