Though knowing Epstein is surely in his benefit being Epstein was a best buddy of Trump. Mandelson mainly brings second to none trade experience given trade is the number one challenge for the UK with Trump threatening tariffs and the trade deal still possible. Mandelson negotiated one of the hardest ever deals with China as EU trade Commissioner which is another strong message to Trump. That UK is pro EU in the new world order. Other than that there is no bigger British patriot and no bigger expert in the grassroots of the Labour Party. Meanwhile another strong message from Starmer. Not messing about. My god….

XB52 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Labour are a total joke North and South of the border, not one principal or pledge they will not betray. The branch party up here talk a good game then run for the hills whenever they look like having to do something that their bosses don't agree with

JamboX2 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 44 minutes ago, Ulysses said: Why not vote against it? I'm not asking you to explain that, by the way. I'm just wondering. Allegedly one party other than the SNP supports the budget. Either the Greens or Liberals have been given some concessions. To vote against it may chuck in the "voting with Tories" accusations and we're into the final 12 months before a Scottish election. Holyrood magazine reporting if they get some concessions on the two-child benefit cap they'll back it. So maybe hedging their bets.

XB52 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 So Scottish Labour want to stop the 2 child cap that their bosses voted for? Of course they want the SG to, once more, pay to offset UK government decisions.

Cruyff Posted January 14 Posted January 14 The Labour Party or, Tory Lite, will be finished at the next election. Their incompetence, hypocrisy, contradictions and lying in their manifesto to get into power is going to see the right wing, I.e. Reform start to take a big percentage of their vote. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Gerry1874 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Rachel from accounts now looking at some emergency spending cuts. Some budget she delivered an absolute hold my drink moment with Kwasi and Liz.
Cade Posted January 14 Posted January 14 It's not rocket science. There is a £37 billion gap every year in what HMRC calculates it should be bringing in and what is actually paid in tax. So you go after that. Close as many tax loopholes as you can think of. And you impose windfall taxes on the profiteering energy companies then slap a much lower price cap on energy. It still boils my piss that the UK (Jezza Hunt) chose to borrow billions on the international market to give directly to energy companies (who all then posted record profits) and then made YOU pay for it. Most other nations imposed tighter price caps on their energy companies. Speaking of energy price caps, we could just abolish the winter fuel payment entirely then impose a lower price cap on any residence consisting of 100% retirees (or retirees and registered carers). £2billion saved. Housing benefit is nothing more or less than public money being used to inflate the rental market and therefor the housing market. Why is tax money being shovelled into the pockets of greedy Landlords? £15.65billion a year. Likewise, working tax credits are public money being used to subsidise business costs because the "living wage" is nothing of the sort. The taxpayer is bumping up people's wages because min wage is so shite. £28 billion a year. So both those things get scrapped and replaced with rent controls and a higher min wage. Saves the exchequer £43.65 billion a year. So we save £45.65billion a year and we bring in at least some of the missing £37billion a year (say half) That's £62.65billion extra in the exchequer. And I've not even looked at all the other government subsidies of various other industries. The UK has to stop subsidising private greed and start imposing lower caps on the cost of living. Lower energy prices, lower rents and a higher min wage leads to more money in people's pockets so they can then go spend that in any way they choose, which stimulates the economy. It's basic stuff.

Cade Posted January 23 Posted January 23 That's the problem with a two party system and "first past the post" voting. The Opposition don't actually have to try to win; just wait for the Government to feck up badly enough that they lose by default. And that's what happened this time. And in 2010 and in 1997 and 1978 and so on and so on.
