I'm a bit surprised about Lady Nugee / Emily Thornberry being overlooked for a cabinet post. She seemed to be one of the "big guns" during Labour's time in opposition - does anyone know why Starmer appears to have thrown her overboard?

She went to the press about him being boring.

Maybe she meant it nicely, like he's 'unlikely hopping into bed with other peoples wives' or 'taking secret flights with the kgb to berlusconis private shag pad without letting the security services know and no one knows who his +1 was' sort of thing?

….she quoted incorrect figures on TV during the election campaign, it wasn’t very good and I think it’s had an impact.
 
I see that idiot Miliband has stated that no new licenses will be issues for oil or gas extraction in the North Sea. Now putting aside the fact that the companies involved will obviously take him and the government to court, where does he believe our oil and gas will come from ? He’s going to cost the country Billions…….

So the rose bank licence your lot "sold" stands up still? Are there that many more sites prime for further exploit? What was your lots carbon neutral "pledge"? Also, if you're gonna start blathering on, try and cough a link up to go with it, but if it's very pished alfred from the bar, maybe nah.

It would seem reasonable to at least scrutinise the deals as they, like the VIP lane stuff, seem to have been handed to friends and family.

Nothing has been handed to anyone. The Multinational oil companies have spent millions putting together bids for licenses as I understand it, but idiot Miliband has just declared that none will be issued…..don’t defend the indefensible.

If this was the Green Party doing it, I could understand as they are raving nutters, but from a government that needs money to just throw away our natural resources is stupid in the extreme. The USA, Russia, China, Saudi, Iran etc etc will just sit back knowing that we will be buying from them, and causing much greater harm to the environment, as a result. Why not use what we have and invest the money in new green technology instead of just throwing it away…..

You are treating this as if it were a ‘political’ attack. It’s not. If the Tories had done this I would have said exactly the same. We, the U.K. have natural resources which we are basically throwing away … but never mind, what we we don’t get from the oil and gas I’m sure they will try to make up for via taxation…..enjoy…….

You say "throwing away", I say trying to save the planet.

This kind of thing.

"According to Darwin’s Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself."

The times are changing pepe, the race to renewables and a cleaner healthier environment has arrived. The age of pollution has to come to an end, the margins to survive it are closing in.
