I was about to say the Poll Tax but looked it up and it was Major who got rid of it. I never thought it went ahead.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

In better news it’s great to see breakfast clubs will be brought in for school kids

Maybe a donor somewhere is benefiting from this but this is great for low-income families

What U-turn has he done? He's promising growth but keeping us out of the Single Market which might deliver on this aim.

Is it that he's not signed the trade deal with the US that Brexiters talked up? If so, Trump's tariffs regime is likely to put paid to this pipe dream.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Has he done any since being in power? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

The U-Turn is probably campaigning for a 2nd referendum before the 2019 election and then calling it settled after that election when he became leader.

The petition is to be debated.

MPs will debate an online petition calling for a re-run of July's general election, after it garnered over 2.8 million signatures.

Nothing, the question on whether he has U-turned on "anything" was asked.
