Sam Tarry owns multiple properties, and rents out his three-bed flat in Barking.

He is literally a multi-property landlord.

Tell you what, we bloody hate NIMBYs around where we live.

Last year Scotland’s fiscal deficit = £23bn, >12% GDP. Some is aftermath of pandemic, most is structural. Hated Westminster fills deficit gap.
Scottish revenues = £13,463 per capita; Scottish public spending = £17,793. Westminster makes up the difference, which = £4,330 a head.

This is great. Reminds me of one of my favourite phrases: 'The problem with the rat race is, even if you win it, you are still a rat!'.

This #TorySewageParty thing is a straight lie.
