Sovereignty? Monarchy? The British pound? fark all that shite (turns out being a rule taker and adopting a single currency isn’t the barrier some brexiteers feared after all) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/26/51st-state-usa-trump-starmer-eu-special-relationship/

Being nice to Trump, constantly and obsequiously, in no way keeps you onside with him honesty far better and there isnt going to be any meaningful trade deal with USA anyway because it conflicts with other interests. bugs the shite out of me listening to people complain about uk being rude about Trump when the things the uk continues to say about Europe and its leaders is unhinged

"Badenoch would get my vote. " KB is clearly more inept than Truss and just as deranged - it really doesn't speak well to your judgement if you think she has what it takes

It’s not that you disagree with Labour. I often find myself disagreeing with them too it’s the catastrophising. And the phrases you use you might consider yourself a left leaning centrist. And maybe you were. Very little sign of it now serious question. Election tomorrow. Which party would get your vote ?

No it doesn’t - not all of them are even bad or down to a new government and none of them compare to the shitshow inherited, the brexit debts mounting or the pensions lost to truss not even close For a start ”ii) £300 Pensioner heating allowance withdrawn” isn’t even accurate - many pensioners will still receive it Just the bbc is it rockets? Totally believable - maybe you even believe it yourself chinny reckon

I think it's possible to view several of the mistakes labour has made as "not good" without it equalling a disaster I know there is a narrative out there that this will play into Reform hands - but you would have to look at all of the major issues and think Reform would do a better job. No sane person could think that. And then there is the obvious problem with Farage - people don't like him. Oh I know in some heartlands he has a big enough core - but the country as a whole? Nah I think labour are being clumsy in some areas, wrong in others, deeply dissapointing in some cases - and yet even before they were elected I knew most of this was likely - just because of the size of the problems facing the country (and I still reckon most people haven't quite grasped how bad things are after 14 years) coupled with the fact that labour talent pool is mid-table at best, compared with New Labour years. All still HUGELY more desirable than what we have had previously tho

because they hang around very excitable online right-wing forums/YouTube videos where this stuff is poured into their brain by the second. And not being a very critical thinker, they lap it up

you'd have to go some to call the WASPI situations where most of the women knew well in advance and where it would cost bajillions we don't have a dsisaster you can call it unfortunate, slippery, political, clumsy But a disaster it ain't

I'm all for good design v bad design (accepting that can be subjective) but I suspect most people formally and actively objecting to this (and many similar schemes across the country) aren' TOO exercised by the design - it's just blocking for blocking sake and is a major reason this country can't build anything If we are going to house people, not everyone is going to have a parking space or garden - sorry kids. look to Europe and other parts of the world where denser housing is more commonplace. I can't see any reason why a major capital like London can't build schemes of this scale

Loving the irony of a thread which is supposed to be "Rachel Reeves yeah? she's as bad as Liz Truss!" which is clearly not true - but has now morphed into some people praising Kemi Badenoch - someone who may ACTUALLY be much worse than Truss. She is barely in touch with reality I mean: WTF is she on about here: https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/kemi-badenoch-lunch-breaks-are-for-wimps-and-sandwiches-are-not-real-food/

Please everyone. Do watch or listen to that PMQ. Because if you think starmer got a battering and Badenoch didn’t come across as patently ill-suited to the job… well, jazzer has a friend

what? banging a saucepan not enough for these ungrateful so called "doctors"???

The cheap whiskey blend? or.....

A week after so many people had lives ruined in wales and tj complaining about “not having enough warning” and we have thread like this? hopefully it will pass without too much impact but why have a pop at people doing their jobs it reads like just an other excuse to have a pop at “authorities” “Little bit of drizzle” uodate https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41531939.html
