John Healey: if the money to support serving military personnel and their families was available, why no support was given until Reform appeared to be winning elections?

It is significative important to remark that just a few weeks ago there was massive austerity to the point the winter allowances for pensioners and welfare benefits were being cut, Now, after Reform won against Conservative and againts Labour, suddenly, out of the blue, there is money for everything.

So Rachel Reeves is willing to throw everything out of the Treasury to prevent Reform for winning elections. Sixteen times the Prime Minister mentioned Nigel Farage in a recent political gathering. Nigel Farage stated that he was happy to be living in the Prime Minister´s mind for free without having to pay rent.

Trust? What Trust? We have got a government that is willing to ruin Britain to keep itself in power. So, apparently, there was a budget gap left by the Conservatives. Well, a lot more than that has been spent or promised. More than 10 billion Pound for Mauritius, a very similar amount for Ukraine, 22 billion Pound for Ed Milliband Eco Projects, and now the promiss made by the Secretary for Defense that Britisn expenditure will rise exponentially to pay for defense? Where is the money coming from? From the 22 billion budget gap that Labour said that the Conservatives left behind. Ah, lets not forget billions of Pound promised for transport projects. 

Are you buying British debt bonds? Are you lending money to the British government? Are you afraid? I reckon you should be extremely afraid. One thing is to have to rescue the financial system. Another thing is to have enough money to rescue Britain which, as we know, would be something impossible to do given the size of the British economy.

Banning Political Parties will promote violence in Britain

Banning Political Parties will promote violence in Britain

Some members of Parliament celebrated bans on social media that effectively will not allow individuals or political organisations to appear on platforms as Facebook. Some time ago, Jo Cox MP, a Labour Party representative, was murdered by a man that was very much a disenfranchised member of society that expressed his hatred and frustration  killing a Member of Parliament.

Some time ago, Amber Rudd MP, as Home Secretary, banned an organisation called National Action and several people linked to National Action were sent to jail. Unfortunately, no serious thinking ensued. No one asked very serious questions that should have been asked. Most of those involved in National Action had been at one point or another members or supporters of a political party and when the said political party went downhill they found themselves without a political home. To make matters worse, their personal lives have also been affected by political discrimination because they had been members or supporters of the said political party. As day follows night, they got involved in activities that had nothing to do with taking part in elections.

My point is that as the number of those who don't feel represented, who are left without say, is growing so will the potential for political violence in the United Kingdom. Instead of banning or implementing political discrimination, we should be widening the political spectrum so that people feel represented and believe that there is a way of having a voice peacefully.

I have written to several Members of Parliament dealing with the issue of representation and of having an outlet to express grievances peacefully.

Today, there was the furore about environmental rallies and the disruption that they cause. It was soon followed by statements by the Home Secretary and Police authorities talking about the rule of law and about adopting repressive measures to counter the rallies. I don't think that repression on social media or repression on the streets will be conducive to peace. Quite the opposite.

As grievances are on the rise, people need to be able to express their frustration, to vent their anger, to express their discontent. In the present environment, bans and repression are the equivalent of building dams that are going to be broken with tragic consequences.
