Because today I went through a suburban village called "Tingley" and I thought, my God, what a shit-hole, it looks like something you USED to see in Eastern Europe
I'm kinda hoping it is one of the worst areas of Leeds otherwise, Eeek
A lot of south Leeds is not great. Holbeck? Beeston?
But on the other hand, a lot of north Leeds is perfectly acceptable.

Farage has retweeted the Telegraph article about restoring the WFA & scrapping the two child cap… so looks like it’s true
He must be calculating that the Tories are in such a mess at the moment that economically right-wing RefUK voters aren't going to back to them.
Yes reversing the 2 child benefit cap is not designed to appeal to southern economic Thatcherites nor is reinstating WFA in full to all pensioners (even Kemi wants to means test it at a higher threshold).
Farage's proposals may appeal to social conservatives and low income parents and pensioners in the redwall though which is no doubt his target audience
I just don't know where Farage is going to get the money from without raising taxes.

Kemi then should go hard no on 2 child cap increase. No gain on the bandwagon but a useful dividing line if SKS does it and it all goes tits up
Yes, I agree. I am not sure I agree with keeping the cap, but there's definitely an argument for it. I'd use the public finances argument though - when Suella (and presumably other Tories) agree with scrapping it, it's tricky to go in two-footed.

Google mapping Tingley can't see much wrong with it. I'd recommend Manningham, Edlington and Page Hall
Yeah, Page Hall is definitely a hole. Shame, because there's plenty of green space around even if it was primarily used for burning cars.
Didn't think much of Eston in Middlesbrough either, although at least half the terraces there have already been leveled, leaving grids of streets with no houses..

'was', not 'is'.
It literally depends on the Member of Parliament. It's all bad now. And RefUK won't change that.

Reform's support is heavily concentrated among C2, D & E. (They have 39% in the Yougov tracker vs 22% among A, B & C1.)
It makes political sense for them to promise generous benefits to voters.

It is not Leeds but Wakefield.
It's basic but there thousands of worse places to live in Britain.
There are
Today looks like the day that literally everyone has abandoned any idea of running the country in a responsible way.
