WTF did Sunak think highlighting a deposit return scheme designed to cut landfill waste had to do with the cost of living?

You try and talk serious business and once again the Tories turn into distraction.

Anybody notice how this government allow business to absolutely take the piss out of us but instead of taking action they choose to subsidise business, allowing them huge profits?

We subsidise low pay and housing, now fuel and household energy. You start to see where all the money is going and why the super rich people are doubling their offshore bank accounts.

I thought even JRM said the watered down version was Gerrymandering that did them no favours?

Seems like a slightly bizarre act of self-harm. The 75+ age group are 21% more likely to vote by post than an 18-24 year old. They also mention introducing new digital verification processes that will not at all help a lot of older people but may have the effect of making it easier for young people to apply for a postal vote.

I simply don’t understand their focus on voter fraud at all. It’s simply not a thing of any consequence and this doesn’t even really align from an ideological perspective. It should be item 200 on their list of priorities. It makes me wonder if the Tories are genuinely worried about false fraud allegations ala Trump and so are trying to head it off at the pass. But it seems out of character for them to actually worry about something like that. It’s very curious.

“We remain fully committed to delivering our manifesto commitments – and this approach is now the surest and the quickest way of doing so, rather than letting it be mired in political game-playing.”

Apparently that's the government's explanation for dropping the Kept Animals Bill which banned export of live animals and had other animal welfare measures. They seem to be blaming other parties for supporting it!
