Westminster Politics

she's a little tied up backing Jezbollah in telling Ukraine its their fault for wanting to be able to choose what they do

I think we've found the Guido mole.
 
Wasn’t sure whether to put this here or in the Met Police thread.

A questionnaire... type of thing you do at school to get other people opinions.
But not if you are really wanting to get the actual facts.
This is the Met, so why should we be surprised.
Doubt that Boris will actually fill in his questionnaire.
Someone in his team will concoct his responses, as opposed to the real truth.
 
Another forum I use has been up in arms about Starmer holding a gala dinner with Gary Neville and north west Labour at £70 a ticket going towards fundraising. Lots of talk about how it is a sign of the party not caring about the working class and Starmer being out of touch. Until it was noted when Corbyn held his gala dinner the tickets were priced at £65 and now the people complaining are being called hypocrites and disingenous. Meanwhile a tory party gala dinner would probably be north of £100 I imagine. And probably somewhere swanky in London.

Often 4-5 grand a head.

Nonsense, the working class are famous for attending 'gala dinners', keeping coal in the bath, and letting whippets eat at the table, I'm sure it wont be long before Starmer is into pigeon-racing and be seen eating tripe and onions for his tea (sorry his dinner).:)
 
So Boris is still there ....Last days of Boris me arse, I reckon he's 3/4s of the way to people forgetting about it.

Long live Boris!

Wouldn't surprise me. Whether he'll ever popular I'm not sure but they only need him to be a useful idiot for the next year or two so his replacement doesn't get too exposed.
 


If Labour don’t effectively weaponise this against Sunak in the next election they’re even more useless than I thought.

Wait, so people setup fake companies to claim furlough money for fake staff? And the government are just waiting this off? How is this not bigger news?

Feck next election. Something is seriously wrong with th our democracy if such a crime can't be investigated now. We need a constitution and we need institutions that have teeth. This is fecked up.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this money disappeared out of the country and is basically untraceable. Something like accounts set up using a VPN. All the more embarrassing to admit it. I wonder who these now incredibly rich criminals are

Not what the polls are saying.
Mid term, after a series of feck ups confirming undeniable corruption and incompetence so big they're visible from space, with living standards crashing, and a decade into standard entitled, contemptuous and cruel Tory bastardry and the brief poll lead is already eroding fast...and that's with BJ still in charge and the emergency party reputation laundering option on the table.

Labour will certainly close the gap however the Tories will win the next GE, barring some staggering and unprecedented turn of events, and in your bones you know it. Maybe in eight years, Labour have a shot at it and they can get on with shaming drug users, shooting suspects first and asking questions later and being "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" and other such policies of integrity.
 
If the Labour Party was lead by anybody else it would be 20 points ahead in the polls.

Understand that. As I have said before, he does have some limitations. But I do wonder whether some of the public have got fed up with personality politics and would prefer a more considered leader.
Time will tell.
 
Classic right wing criticism of the left, pinning all responsibility to campaign against oppression on them, while seemingly accepting it's fine for the right to not give a shit.


How can we not be reminded of today’s identitarian Left? All across the Anglosphere, it is obsessed with historic wrongs, genuine or invented. But where are the student demonstrations protesting against the fate of the Uyghurs? Or against modern slavery in the Gulf? Or the persecution of “blasphemers” in several Muslim states? Easier to pull down a forgotten statue or change the name of a university building.
