It's for Indians to care for India and Indians, not for others to do it. Put trust on yourselves rather than on others who have a lot of other agenda on their minds.
Liz has been caught red handed, no pun intended, on pay policy.
I am a supporter of Mr Sunak for the job of Prime Minister because I think his background as a successful Chancellor of the Exchequer will make him a more accurate and better financial planner. Plus he appears to be less vocal in his desire to get the United Kingdom (UK) involved in potential wars, and more likely to keep the UK and the world safe. On the contrary Mrs Truss is rather hawkish about standing up to aggressors, and less likely to press for negotiated ends to existing conflicts in the world, which are urgently needed. For the above reasons, I think Mr. Sunak should be chosen for the job of Prime Minister.

Rishi Sunak is refreshingly upfront, positive and clear. Sorry, but Ms.Truss does not compare. She's still making excuses about her bad civil service regional pay cut proposals - yet she never ever admits to being wrong! 🙄 If her policy was, as she claims, misrepresented, then surely she should have been able to explain what she really intended without any need for it to be scrapped? In truth, she thought up a really bad policy, realised she'd cocked up (again) and withdrew it. The lady is for turning. I distrust MsTruss 😏

Social housing stock hasn't remotely kept up with increasing demand year after year due to mass migration. With the right to buy people who would have easily rented a council property now find themselves having to rent privately in ex-council properties at higher rents. There MUST be massive investment in council property replacement but by building up with apartment blocks as land in our small island is always an issue. I live in Leeds and have watched multiple luxury apartment blocks go up in and around the city centre with many of them empty and used as investments. There have also been many new student apartment blocks built too but what about the poor and working class? If I see a huge investment in council property replacement it will go a long way to get my vote. That along with effect deportation of illegal immigrants and criminals and reform of the asylum system to stop the massive fraudulent abuse by economic migrants. If you want to live and work in the country then do it the RIGHT WAY. It's not racist to want migrants to enter the right way and not by breaking the law. Why do we want people who are ok with breaking the law to jump the queue to enter the country?

Why the BOE uses QE and 0 interest rate? to give the banks free money to lend and people take on the loan at a low rate, Before Blair opened the gate to easter European people were complaining about immigrants taking housing jobs and all that, then over a million come in, where did they found a place to live, work, a school for their children and so on?
