Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only 2 were delivered.
In 5 years.
Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).
In 1 year.

Labour is measurably rescuing Britain.
A year since Sunak called the general election, the data tells a story the right-wing media won’t.

After finally getting my printer working again, got around to printing the prototype for my peckett chassis Percy. Came out well with a few alterations to do for a nice fit

People need to grow up and stop calling for a #GeneralElection . The fact is the tories aka the nasty party… or is that reform these days?
Anyway, the tories lied, conned and cheated the country into its current dire state, so hard and unpopular things need doing to fix things

Part of my Inspector Gadget game is going to be some classic episodes worked into the main plot as assignments, either as drivers for the story or "distractions" to keep Gadget out of the way. One of my favourites has always been The Boat, so will naturally feature

Remember, clocks go back tonight.
If you're a Tory, back to 1953.
If you're Reform, back to 1932.
If you're Jacob Rees-Mogg, back to 1741.
And if you're Nigel Farage, you just demand that 'Clocks Should Go Back Where They Came From."

“but they had reckoned without a spiteful brake van... The van had taken a dislike to Douglas. Things always went wrong when Douglas had to take it out.”
Still got a few bits to do, but he’s coming along nicely

Thomas’s new face is done. Might be a bit too happy, not sure. Lettering done on the brake van. Hopefully get the laser cutting for the chassis done in the next week

Backboard of Thomas’s new face fitting, then trial fitting with the face attached. Seems to hang quite nicely, slight altering to the eyebrows with filler and gap between face and wood. Final sanding and grey to come then painting the features
