wait … what? Best case I think she is talking about Cyprus but even then so much to unpack there
Reform stooge Nicholas Lissack put up a fake post about how his Grandparents were freezing and they couldnt afford heating and he was called out by the Reform exposed account. The right wing morons aren’t happy about it.
Only when it suits them and it doesn’t expose them as liars.
22? Christ.
Yup. He’s born no earlier than 2002. Scary.
We have no money!
Also: Lets set up a quango for every choice we can possibly make, costing millions, just so we can blame someone else for everything when ut inevitably goes wrong.
Remember, starmer was part of the coup against corbyn six months into his leadership, starmer had been an MP for 4 months (and a labour member for a year. You would think someone who wants the big job so bad would actually want to do something with it once he gets there, yet all he does is hand over responsibility to others, for everything.
At this point I honestly think he is doing it all for the free lunches at NATO conferences and army press photos.
Massive majority, but can't do anything until 2028. Agent Starmer strikes again.
Kemi Badenoch calls for 'long overdue' national inquiry into UK grooming scandal

Long overdue indeed from someone who was a member of a party that was in charge for the last 14 years.
Hope they enjoyed it, it's a fantastic ride, towed by runners, no snow... security would not want him standing in a queue for 3 hrs.
Wonder if they also visited the CR museum?
The age old saying is you're only as good as the people you surround yourself with. He wanted the big job so badly he was prepared to accept anybody in his cabinet to secure the votes he needed. Let's see if he can clear them out before they clear him out.
fecking scum, the lot of them.
They're obviously a bunch of sad old feckers, but 'crazed laughter' is a huge stretch. Seems pretty muted, barring when he makes the Labour reference.
So far none of the senior ministers have broken ranks, in that sense its looking good for Starmer, (all in it together) but time is the issue. Promising 'jam tomorrow', will only last so long.
It looks like he's pushing back delivery until the last 12-18 months of the current parliament, which is a hell of a gamble, but could pay off. A lot will depend on how much of his majority slips away in the next two years and if any of this is self inflicted, or whether it is still the probability of external forces, i.e. the 'ill winds' from both the West and the East, that could still have the final say.
Sooner of later the opposition (and RW press) will stop wasting their ammunition on the leader, his face is 'set like flint'; and step up their fire on his ministers. If, the inner circle of ministers remain as steadfast and they tread carefully themselves, then Starmer place is secured.
It is true that you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, so don't ask them to do something you know they can't do.

To break ranks there needsto be a coherent plan to deviate from. So far he appears to have let them have free reign.
You've had a disaster of a budget, a laughable house building plan and crippling environmental schemes, amongst plenty of others. Surely he looked at some of these and thought 'that's not a good idea'. They're sinking him without needing to do anything untoward.
Wonder if he went up on the cable cart.Hope they enjoyed it, it's a fantastic ride, towed by runners, no snow... security would not want him standing in a queue for 3 hrs.

Probably, the one that revolves as it moves up and down in order to give passengers a panoramic view.... probably didn't queue for that either...

It's a bit generous to refer to that chap as a comic. Looks more like a medieval jester to me.
So, he cannot be accused of micro-management then?

" Without the US, what are we?.. nothing"
Starmer is 62? Thought he was in his late 40s, early 50s.
Because of his youthful looks?
Bit of a change of rhetoric there Nigel? I thought Britain was so great we could go it alone out of the EU, now we're diminishing ourselves to cosy up with the yanks...
I cannot stand this man, his sole interest is himself, not the country is fooling into believing him.
It’s probably his hair.
With how Musk and Trump will use their platforms in our politics, I do genuinely fear nothing Labour do will appease anyone. And the Conservatives are a long way from being forgotten for their mess.
And that there is a genuine and real risk that a party like Reform could get some serious traction at the next election.
We tend to laugh it off like we are any better than the US as an example but after a few years of “propaganda”, I do worry.

The social media team who proposed this and the senior manager who signed it off need to go on a blacklist
It explains how we're planning to find the skilled labour to increase productivity though.
Social media teams, like all marketing teams, are only good at one job and that's promoting themselves to whoever their boss is.
Facists turning on each other.
