Well, true that the media will keep targeting Reeves, certainly, but that’s nothing new. That Reeves is going to resign? Nah. Really don’t think so.

Beth Rigby was 'justifying' the prurient intrusion on Sky.
Vile.

That should be fun, Rigby trying to bully Reeves ... if Campbell is allowed to offer a little timely advice.
Bullies never expect their victims to take the initiative.

The problem is that the Westminster lobby is out of control; they need to be brought to heel.

It's the whole Fourth Estate that needs bringing to heel, not just the twat journos trying to make showbiz out of politics.

They want to be football journalists I think.
Irony is most credible football journalists are showing their best light today.

Politicians have to pick their moments, remember what a touchy sour prick Corbyn looked getting nasty with interviewers because he couldn’t handle himself. But you can feel good after a meltdown so good luck to the chancellor giving both barrels to the likes of Rigby.

They've wanted Reeves out all along. See the "Reeves bought the office present for the boss in 2008" rubbish.
I was impressed that she told them all to fuck off, and went to China as she'd planned.

Hopefully she'll tell them to fuck off again.

Leaseholders will be able to more easily challenge extortionate service charges, the government has said.
For those who are trapped in the midst of the leasehold scandal, the reforms cannot come soon enough.
They have been promised change for many years by successive governments and by Labour in opposition, so any progress will be welcome, but is it enough for those suffering financially?
It's a complex problem but at the heart of it are service charges that go higher and higher in a way that is often inexplicable, unpredictable and opaque.
These are fees for building services and maintenance that are on top of the homeowner's mortgage.

There's been a lot of talk locally about those with regard to certain blocks of flats in Peterborough.

Lots of talk with regard to certain ex-council flats in Bethnal Green too. Insurance costs rising have been blamed and the new Freeholder reckons they can get those down

Usual impartial stuff at a certain paper.
‘We promised change but people aren’t feeling it yet’: Labour rues poor first year
MPs, aides and other party figures reflect on what went wrong and how they could still turn things around[/quote}
How they could still turn it around in (checks notes) 4 years. Poor first year though.
