It really does feel at times like the Tories behaving like the opposition. Sunak is doing trying to pretend that everything before 22nd October 2022 was nothing to do with him, utterly bizarre
Again and again he thinks normal rules don't apply to him.
The positive from this is he has help publicise to bring Voter ID. We're stuck with it for now, still incredible the legislation was allowed to pass in its current form
When I say spot I mean "spot", ie one fixed spot. Average speed stuff I think will continue to be rolled out. Some of the new cameras don't even need a van, just a panda car and put up a mobile tripod
The word in traffic enforcement is spot speed is on the way out. Instead its mobile vans and portable speed detection (home office have approved several new devices), expect to see a lot more in the years ahead.
Worth adding not only did have the Tories slashed the overseas aid budget to 0.5%, but what remains is increasingly being used to clear up the mess they 've created (see above)
Not to mention binning the Dublin agreement, ie there's no longer a returns arrangement with France. Boom time for criminal gangs, esp with Europol binned and data sharing scrapped.
Soaring immigration legal and illegal is the work of the Tories and their botched Brexit. What's more Farage...
I used to vote for them because of people like him and Heseltine. The party has lost the plot, not being racist enough for the crypto-fascists on the right but losing the centre.
I see they got their bill through. From here it will be lefty lawyers, foreign courts, ECHR this, ECHR that etc etc...
But its worse than that, 1 in 5 want more of the same and another 1 in 7 are convinced Farage's latest iteration will somehow be our saviour.
I just really hope its the UK is the first western country to properly bin populism and it isn't just a brief rest bite before another bunch of grifters...
Of course its not just the water companies, its the way they've ripped the heart out of the environment agency to the point they don't have the resources to provide proper enforcement.
