What is going on here? Something funny. When it was decided to sell the first rule of thumb is that the local council get first refusal so #SaveScampton never got a look in. @WestLindseyDC did a deal with Scampton Holdings, which wasn't fair anyway, now this! @peter_levy
It's madness that the Home Office are putting Scampton on the open market when we have a funded regeneration plan ready to go. They're just trying to cover their tracks because they wasted £64 million and three years trying to house migrants there. edwardleigh.org.uk/news/sir-…

Ed Miliband has approved a number of mass-scale solar panels on UK farmland despite huge local community objections. Solar panels shouldn’t be used on fields that are cultivated for our food growing. Instead, put them on brownfields, car parks, roofs and roads.

Read this and see what the Tories have deliberately done to the NHS As news comes that the UK now has more babies dying before their first birthday than most other countries in the developed world ⏬️
Just a reminder that 14 yrs ago there were no waiting lists over 18-weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treated within two months, everyone could see their GP within 2-days,… Then we got the Tories

Oh yes @darrenpjones 👍🏼 A Covid Corruption Commissioner will be appointed by @RachelReevesMP straight after the General Election should Labour win And I, for one, can't wait & hope some of the corrupt fraudsters end up in jail. Pandemic profiteering = criminal In my opinion
The scandal of Tory waste and dodgy pandemic contracts continues. This government refuses to publish details of 36 PPE contracts worth £1bn which failed to deliver. Labour will appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner to claw back every pound we can.

I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections. I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID. I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧

So if it may not be possible for illegal migrants to be housed, surely there goes the 350million housing investment plan too!

You almost had me. I'd love to save historic aviation pieces. But for an airbnb with a jacuzzi in the nose? I'd rather set it and the money on fire than give money for this commercial venture.
