Both work.

It's very easy to make shit up and say "how many then?" Quite rightly, Labour will say, not saying, because you don't before before you set out on negotiations. That'll allow the Tories to say, see, it's really 100,000, why do you think they won't tell us? Doesn't matter who you are, that's going to be a winning argument with some people.

Sadiq Khan flew to a conference in New York (as opposed to what?) , so suck up that shit air quality (plebs). Classic not understanding the difference between toxic air and climate change too.
Judge us on our track record & look what we have done since 2010.
The new 20mph speed limit for Wales' residential roads is "insane", according to a UK cabinet minister.
Commons leader Penny Mordaunt called having such a limit as the default for many roads "crazy", but agreed there are places where 20mph is a good idea.
Ms Mordaunt went on to accuse Labour of "punishing" motorists.
"They have ignored businesses and they have ignored the public. They are pushing ahead with this scheme despite huge opposition to it and I think the latest estimate is it will cost the Welsh economy £4.5bn.
Explaining the £4.5bn cost to the economy figure quoted by critics of the policy, the Welsh government writes on its website: "Our assessment shows that reducing speeds to 20mph can result in an average increase of one minute per journey, nine lives saved and 98 serious injuries prevented each year.
"Before the law was passed, we produced an impact assessment that considered all the potential costs. This was included in the explanatory memorandum.
"It included the costs of any delays to travel time. The method used is now under academic debate for its effectiveness when calculating small delays.
"So the estimated cost to the economy of £4.5bn over 30 years may not be an accurate reflection of the true cost. The slightly longer travel time was the only negative economic impact identified.
"It is estimated that the casualty prevention savings, including the reduced impact on NHS and emergency services, could be up to £92m every year." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-66802351

They'll probably be phoning him up now to tell him he's a rising star.Why do they always do it? How do they not see that becoming a parody of yourself is fucking dumb?
There's more too BTL. Someone BTL who says his Mum should take his phone (without knowing she's dead) is apparently Portes' fault too.
