I was already punching calculator to consider independent school for my son but based on this policy, our focus is now on Grammar School. Let us use our tax well and save our money.

Mamatukwas:
Chai! Okay. Thanks for the advice.

Where's Bob Risky in the prison picture?

Mamatukwas:
Evening folks. Who do ya’ll use for Life Insurance? Any industry faves? And if yes why?

Just as Nigeria (2015) cursed ‘16 horrible years of the PDP’.

Elected an APC which clearly did not have a plan.

Look where Nigeria is today.

Question: How will you stop the boats?
Keir Starmer: I will smash the gangs.

Moderator: How will you smash the gangs?
Keir Starmer: I will smash the gangs by smashing the gangs.
Moderator: How
Keir Starmer: (looks like a rabbit in the headlights): scratches head. Zip.
Moderator: Will you send boat arrivals to a 3rd safe country?
Keir Starmer: YES, I will.

Me watching at home: So Labour policy aligns and agrees with sending boat arrivals to another country. Why did the pretend to be opposed to Rwanda?

I guarantee you that if Corbyn or David Lammy or Angela Rayner or Diane Abbot or even Wes Streeting (as examples) was leader, Labour would not be polling so high and projected to win so many seats. Best hope would be a hung parliament.

The Tories would wipe the floor with them and would come across way more credible.

Zahra29:
True, the Tories have helped his cause lol

However think for a second if Corbyn was still Labour leader....would he be projected to win over 400 seats? I think most voters would be tempted to stick with the Tories if the alternative was Corbyn, so Starmer's image has definitely helped win voters back to Labour.

Zahra29:
Fair enough, I see your points about Keir. I'm not convinced about him either but I'm approaching it with the view of not letting the "perfect become the enemy of the good". He's not perfect but he's good enough for now and in fairness to him he's done a good job in turning Labour around from the worst electoral defeat in 2019 to being projected to win the largest number of seats ever.

Re the bolded, I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Reform is currently polling 3rd above Libdems so it might not be a wasted vote afterall. Even if they won just a few seats, it would be good to have them in parliament to keep the government on its toes.

Asides Reform, we don't have a viable right wing party - all the other parties are either far left, leftish or centre left/centre right depending on which way the wind blows. I think a few right wing MPs will help bring some balance to UK politics and some of Reform's policies are actually good, plain common sense (they're not only focused on immigration).

Wow! You talk this one 👍🏾

I keep thinking about this and wondering. 19k? People dey try. This is aside a higher sum for masters if they came through that route and an even a much higher sum for ILR and finally passport when tge times comes
After 6 years, the total immigration sum paid for a small family of 2 parents and 2 kids is well north of 50k. These same folks go still need get mortgage and plan for retirement e.t.c while being restricted in job search.

Why then do those who are not encumbered by these fees and free to work as they see fit keep talking about cost of living/food banks/house price unaffordablility? Abi their suffering threshold (as one put it) is less than immigrants who are created to suffer?

More needs to be done to put these numbers out there. As anytime the talk of immigration comes up and I bring these numbers up, folks begin to stutter.

Uncertainty vs Certainty

Preshila:
My people, please I need counsel on how to go about retrieving my deposit from my Landlord. Have moved out from his property and it's been 3 months and counting, yet he is yet to pay. Just even realized that the money was not deposited in any Government deposit protection scheme, as we were not even aware of that, being that, it was the first house we rented when we moved to the UK.

Please where can I officially report this matter and have our money returned back to us.

NewT123:
Who watched the election debate and saw how Labour Party are clueless on how to fix the economy. It’s dejavu happening all over again before our very eyes, just like the thunderous sounds of CHANGE many Nigerians chorused without asking what plan APC has to effect the change.

I hope we do not get to experience the same scenario happening in the UK as the main opposition are clueless

Sulele04:
Alright thanks.
