Maybe Reeves will tell us how she aims to deal with that little mess, on 26th November.
However, she's probably too busy, learning how to rent a house out, cadging concert tickets & sponging a clothing allowance off wealthy Labour benefactors to even bother worrying about her day job.

She could deal with it better by taxing cúnts like Sir Charlie to pay for mental health services for the people he's punching down on.


You think it's perfectly normal to have 800,000 added to the list in 6 years as long as the rich are taxed to pay for them? No individual responsibility at all. There must be something in the air or the water that is making all these people desperately ill.

It's not normal, but if you run the NHS into the ground with people on waiting lists for years just to see a consultant this is the outcome you are going to get.

You can't complain about productivity as a former CEO of John Lewis earning over £1.5M a year and not understand what is impacting that productivity at source unless you are wilfully pig ignorant.

The problem with the UK is that, since 1979, any money making entities, such as utilities,  were sold off, mainly to foreign investors. Prices have gone up, so that the shareholders can be rewarded. I also noticed a figure this week that we are all paying approximately £52 a year each, to cover those who can't or won't pay their energy bills, but you're never told that. Why I should cover anyone who won't pay their bill is anybodies guess.

When you look at what's left, in the public sector - education, health, councils.....there is no longer a single service left that's successfully fulfilling its remit.

The whole show is a complete & utter car crash, it's costing each of us even more each year & standards are continually falling through the floor.

Yet, we're supposed to put up with this shite & vote in the same idiots with the exact same agenda as the last time & absolutely no solutions to anything for another 5 years' worth of telling us how wonderful they are, via their social media accounts, while never looking up from their expenses sheets.

If Starmer spent less time poncing about on the world stage, pretending he's a statesman & attended to his domestic brief, he would be better off, although he is proving to be so poor that little or nothing will improve his standing. The British still think they rule the waves & are big players, internationally. Completely delusional, especially coming from a morally & financially bankrupt nation.

They are like the Democrats in that they are sleepwalking into an electoral catastrophe which has the potential to allow a right-wing conman into power. They need to tackle their fiscal issues on multiple fronts and missed a chance when they ran away from welfare reform to force the lazy into work. They should also look to get big business to pay their fair share.

You should be angry at the companies earning record profits while still increasing prices. Not the people who can't pay their bills.

Labour are a shower of wankers but are slightly less bad than the Tories. For a so called democracy their isn't much choice. Corbyn's new party would be fantastic but hasn't much hope of getting in.

It gets worse by the hour ffs.

David Lammy was asked about the Algerian guy no fewer than 6 times in Parliament, earlier & denied all knowledge of the case.

Turns out he was briefed last night. A useless Justice Secretary [and deputy prime minister!], and an incompetent liar, who shouldn't be in office.

This Labour lot are starting to make the Liz Truss interregnum look like a golden period of good governance.

There is already a right wing conman in charge of the Labour Party.

The Labour Party since taking power are possibly the most disappointing political entity of my lifetime.

They're not just sleepwalking into an electoral catastrophe, they're going to put their party out of business.

A leadership bereft of any vision.

So that leaves Farage ! Brilliant
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

In 4 years' time, the British will probably deem Farage to be a dangerous wishy washy liberal & then they will go straight to Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, AKA Tommy Robinson as Prime Minister / Lord Protector.

The Greens seem to have stumbled upon a leader saying all the right things and taking the Greens to a wider audience.

It will be interesting to see how the media deal with Polanski in the future.
