  1. Great. A new recruit.I trust she will put into practice a research project of what the country will look like for a 2024 election. There has been talk that the economy will be on the ‘up’ just in time for Johnson and the economy when it is due. I hope she and her team will monitor our rise all the time asking is this right is that right.

  2. we need to persuade Kier Starmer to agree with us on electoral reform and taxation reform, then we have the foundation of an all-opposition election campaign and candidate strategy to ensure that the Tories are roundly defeated… – Though we might need to set up our own news channel and newspaper to get through the wall of brain-wash, dogma and dog-whistles from the Tory media.
