Just how many pensioners heating allowances went to pay for just one Council of Nations and Regions (England no longer exists kit is now split into "Regions") including expenses claims. Was Sue Gray paid for not even turning up I wonder? Fury as train guards get a £300 bonus to work five days a week from trade union veteran Louise Haigh - while her allies slam Starmer's rebuke after she almost wrecks £1bn deal for business summit..... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13954821/Train-guards-bonus-work-five-days-week-union-Louise-Haigh.htmlIt's more than a coincidence that train guards just happens to be getting a 'Bonus' the equivalent to what the cuts in winter fuel allowance for pensioners .......do they think we are all fucking thick. |

Exactly mate any fool can wave a flag and blow a fucking whistle. It's like the traindrivers it is not a skilled job FFS.. The only reason we have train guards is because of the Unions, there is absolutely no need for train guards, everything is IT streamlined for passenger safety CCTV the lot doors wont close because they have censors and CCTV, a train guard is now a made up job, when you think supermarkets have replaced humans with self checkouts and here we are having a waste of space, time and money train guards, |

It's a great 100 days if you are Eton School - the Government has engineered it so that the hard-pressed taxpayer subsidises their operation. Ah. I see what you did. By making them charge VAT they can now claim Input VAT on all business expenditure. Five quid to a charity of your choice Reeves and the HMRC do a Jaffa cake and make school business expenses inadmissable.... |

Somehow the UK has ended up with a Foreign Secretary who sees themselves as more Caribbean than British and is demanding reparations - most odd.  |

Lard Lammy strikes again....
We're back at the table': Labour's Brexit 'reset' gathers pace as David Lammy attends summit of EU foreign ministers and Keir Starmer vows to restart EUSSR and UK relations...

So we have a person in government, in power, who says he isnt British.
What a situation to be in, allegiance to the crown is the first requirement.
If i was his prime minister i would instrucked the office to fire him today. I would text him such, and have him excluded from government offices today. God knows what Lammy does with sensitive information, when he admits that hes not one of us.

You don't have to be a fan of the Tories to be a critic of Labour, they're shit.

Labour are weak and will fold on the international stage not least because of this office junior who has been promoted to high office without a single qualification for the job . The problem with having ethnics in high positions is there for all to see ,they can never be trusted to do whats best for the UK . As for repatriations its gone and over with , a part of history and today's generations are not liable for damages . If we did agree to pay something it should be linked with the repatriation of people . |

The public has turned on 2 Tier Keir - he's only got himself to blame...... The nights are getting longer in the UK, and those warm summer months seem a long time ago. Like when 2 Tier Keir walked into Downing Street in July with a majority of 174 seats, few would have predicted that within a hundred days, polling would show voters preferring Rishi Sunak’s government.

It feels like Labour have just continued with the Tories policy of committing spectacular own goals.
The main own-goal was the promise not to raise tax, NI or vat. I cannot see how they can accomplish anything of worth after shutting off the three greatest tax levers. Instead they are having to mess with low yielding tax rises that have a high risk of unintended consequences (ie pensions, non-dom, gambling, capital gains, vat on private schools etc).
The other serious problem for them is how their constant finger pointing at the Tories provides the media with an easy win by calling out their hypocrisy. The media don't even have to trawl through media interviews anymore, because the idiots made a nice searchable database every time they posted an attack piece on social media. If you looked up the meaning of "people in glass houses.." it would say "Labour in opposition" lol.
Starmer and Reeves need to grow up fast and start acting like the adults they claim to be. Stop these ideological attacks on pensioners and "the rich", and take the hit and increase NI back to where it was, and stick a penny or two on VAT. They could probably make a case for NI on pensions, but the bar for when you pay will need to be high... and course the winter fuel payments bar needs to be far higher than £13k.

The labour loonies really are struggling at present aren't they ? we have lefty and sid attempting............and doing a piss poor job of it ,to polish turds. We have see 2 trolling threads and posting incoherently , more so than normal , and zany having a meltdown on a meme thread. We have just sorted our mortgage rate which expires next month , and I dont know what planet lefty is on , but ive heard the same reports as you regarding what you posted earlier . Things are looking fucking bleak all round , with business holding its breath as to what these labour muppets will do next , and as the cold weather bites , folk scared to put on the heating , and worried about jobs and the future. .........meanwhile on internet cloud cuckoo land , lefty is posting fantasises that all is well while the good ship sinks. Honestly , I do wonder what drugs some of these people are on . hope you got a cheaper mortgage I have £1800 left on mine, and am throwing £450 at it every month. I shall soon enjoy the nirvana of not giving a flying fuck what the mortgage rate is. |

From new MPs to cabinet ministers, how influential think tank is bankrolling Labour..... More than 100 Labour MPs have registered donations from the think tank linked to Sir Keir Starmer’s new chief of staff and backed by a hedge fund manager. The donations from Labour Together, totalling about £1.5m and ranging from £5,000 to £137,168, have raised questions over the influence of the think tank and the power of its former director Morgan McSweeney.... The figures come just days after Mr McSweeney, Labour Together’s former director, won the power struggle with Sue Gray in Downing Street to replace her as the prime minister’s chief of staff. Labour Together has been subject to attacks from allies of former leader Jeremy Corbyn, who see it as Mr McSweeney’s “right-wing” vehicle to replace Mr Corbyn’s Momentum allies in running the party. It is backed by wealthy donors, and there have been claims that it is part of an effort to create an alternative means of funding the party in place of its traditional trade union backers.....
