was austerity the problem or new Labour / labour racking up trillions of pounds of debt. 
 

pointing the finger at those attempting (however badly) to fix it has never been the right answer.  
 

borrowing more and more and more will never ever be the right answer as it has to be offset by crushing taxes.  
 

the only problem with austerity is it don’t go far enough to pay down the debt and get us out of this shit.  But it will happen sometime.  It’s unavoidable. 

2010.

 

Money is the cheapest it'll ever be. 

 

You can either invest with cheap money building your military & civilian infrastructure, getting your country ready for whatever the future holds 

Or

You can cut everything, absolutely everything, and leave the country on the bones of its arse?

 

Austerity was never, ever going to pay down anything. 

 

The Tories have been in power for 32 of the years since that horrible cow Thatcher came in and since then they've sold off everything of value and left the country with nothing.

 

The other side of the coin is that Britain is a tin pot country and we've probably got a military in line with the stature of a country of our size and fiscal means.

'Fighting aged' men?

 

Its easy to check the number of people entering the UK by 'illegal' routes as the Government publish them on their website every single week. 

 

The 'number' they've got is roughly 65,000 although that's not split by gender. It also doesn't account for those returned. 

 

The 'regular' personnel in the UK military is around 135,000.

 

Statistics and sources eh?

If Labour are making political decisions they do not think are correct just to get 6% of the electorate to maybe vote for them then their really is not anything-in-politics-more-shit-than-the-labour-party

[moogsy]

So Starmer was aware that Mandelson’s close friendship with Epstein continued long after he was a convicted beast, and was warned of the reputational risk this caused. Still chose to go ahead and appoint him as ambassador 😂.

 

His position is surely now untenable.

I’m no Starmer fan, but he is nowhere near as bad as what some make out to be.  On the whole he’s done ok, much better than some of our PM’s the last 10 years.

See that's the thing, I  know he's about as popular over there as Don the con is over here. But he did stand up to Don on the Iran thing and have to give him some props for that, didn't just blindly jump in with both feet.

[Cade]

Deform and their rabid press pals are just determined to take advantage of their flash-in-the-pan poll ratings and are manufacturing crisis after crisis in some pathetic attempt to have Labour replace Starmer then call a snap election (which they won't do)

 

It's all rather sad, really.

The right wing use that as a slant on him, but if he jumped in and joined the war he’d get crucified for it, I actually feel bad for the man, he cannot win with the Tory/Reform backed press and a large portion of our population form their way of thinking based on what they’re fed by them

That's one of Sir Keef Stammer's New New Labour's major failings.

They're constantly chasing right wing headlines, trying to mollify a hostile press that will never be happy no matter what he does.

So they should just concentrate on following their own program and let the right wing frothers froth away.

Of course, the fact that Sir Keef Stammer's New New Labour don't seem to have a plan of their own is another major failing.

[Diadora Van Basten]

Apparently the member of the Government that convinced Starmer not to attack Iran was Ed Miliband. I had forgotten he was part of the Government but he might be a potential replacement for Starmer as the rest of the cabinet were picked by Mandelson and McSweeney and will continue the same awful policies as Starmer.

Who would have thought that remaining loyal to the UK and paying the appropriate amount of tax to your income would provide you the security of not having to domicile in a war zone?

Better than that, the bold Mr Middleton also crashed his company, bumping the great British tax payer of around £1.25 million of your pounds after taking £4 million in 'directors loans'

[Victorian]

Anyway,  Labour.

 

They're too slow or not shrewd enough to spot an open goal.   Rising oil prices and rising wholesale gas prices arising out of a war is an open goal to emphasise the importance of continuing to build more resilence,  security and independence into our energy generation and supply.

 

Jist open up ra North Sea!!!   No that's really ****ing stupid because all resources extracted are subjected to the great energy price fixing racket.   We'll just continue to make progress towards sustainable generation that isn't a hostage to global war mongering by  psychopaths and paedophiles.   Cheers.

It's not just that. If the report is correct, then the government is exploring ways to avoid disclosing the documents as requested by parliament, just as Trump's administration is avoiding full disclosure of the Epstein files after Congress voted for their publication.

For what it’s worth I think Starmer should go for the Mandelson situation. No idea why Labour keep bringing him back from the dead. 

[Footballfirst]

Predictable response from the government

 

From the Beeb

 

The prime minister did not know Lord Mandelson failed security vetting for the role of US ambassador until earlier this week, the government has said.

A spokesperson said the decision to go against the recommendation of the vetting agency was taken by officials in the Foreign Office.

It's quite legitimate to state it was Foreign Office civil servants who decided that and did not inform No10.   Because it might be true.   If it isn't true it will come out and will be curtains for Starmer.

Yeah lying now would seem a strange strategy, unless they are so deep in the lie that they can’t get out of it.
