Quiz: How much do you know about 2025?

How much do you know about the events pencilled in for 2025?

LAST YEAR WAS a long, action-packed year. We had a referendum, local elections, European elections, and a general election. We had the Olympics and won the Six Nations. There was a US presidential election and a UK general election that saw opposition parties take power.

The diary for this year looks significantly quieter, with many of the elections out of the way – but there are a few things up and coming.

    Labour a bit like our own, pretend to be sympathetic and be the voice for the working class, yet when in power, o difficult decisions will have it be made. A conservative landslide is likely when they eventually put in a motion of no confidence against this travesty. Stammer the worst Labour PM since Ramsay MacDonald

    @Alan: the Tories ran the country in to the ground for over a decade. That Labour would actually try and fix that by taxing the people that can afford it isn’t the “travesty” you think it is. The Tories are trying to paint this budget as crippling the working class but that’s, once again, is an utter lie.

    What is this talk of Labour having promised not to raise taxes? Let’s be clear what they promised was not to raid Texas, and so far they have honoured that!
