So we are getting ripped off by the energy companies

@davidsmith8728

So they want the people with lots of money to come and invest in the UK – and they want those with the broadest shoulders to pay the taxes. Aren't they one and the same people. They come to the UK, invest loads of momey, and then Labour tax the crap out of them. Doesn't sound s very good proposition to me.

A horrific government that gives away UK sovereign territory in the Indian Ocean, teeing up its purchase by CCP. We look weak, feckless and on our knees literally as well as figuratively. The boats come every day and Labour taking the UK to bad place, albeit the Tories did a lot of the heavy lifting in our economic and societal decline.

Reynolds invites people that have wronged this country, yet doesn’t invite Musk the richest man in the world , shows his lack of experience.
