Morning everyone. Do we have your permission to have a right old go at Reform-led councils this week?
Very well. No.2: Wakefield. Because the new manufactured Enemy of the People is the parent who can't afford to make ends meet.

More good news about the UK economy, as the IMF upgrades their forecast of UK growth this year to 1.6%.
But look at these top stories - the Telegraph the IMF downgrading growth - but that was last year, when the Tories were in power for half of it & their polices impacting the majority of the year.

The suggestion here is that sales value has gone down, but sales volume has gone up.
If true, that means prices are lower.
Is that not good news for people who are still suffering from the Tory choas that lead to 10% inflation?
