Current Affairs The Labour Party

Great.

We can all see then the individual MPs willing to claw back £300 from pensioners....'to prevent a run on the pound'.

Cant wait.

Good move by Starmer to allow a debate and a vote - also the fact that it is a free vote - he could easily have whipped the vote to win it easily, Grown up politics is here.

What's Sir Kid Starver done today?

Kin hell more red Tory policy...

Joey is just very very very angry about Sir Kid Starver, Bruce. GRRRRR

I suppose we should be grateful his expensive suit wasn't covered in solar panels.

He hasn’t been this angry since he was chased out off Jersey, by a load of Frenchie speaking Masonic gardeners.

He's quite an easily narked soul, ain't he?

 

[COYBL25]

He's quite an easily narked soul, ain't he?

It’s just a good job he wasn’t farming likes in Jersey.

Imagine if the members of the secret Jersey horticulture sub culture, had logged onto GOT and stolen all his likes !!!!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Maybe he's just joking and isn't really angry?

Aha. I think you might be confusing him with someone else.

You've lost me Joe.

That bike of yours - easily done - every energy bill stang charge part of it is to blot the landscape with on shore windmills - surely tidal power is a better alternative thevtide works 12 months of the year .

 

[peteblue]

Very nice, what halcyon days they were. I was being a little clever but it backfired. More often the case.
Couple of lookers in there though, wonder where they are now...

Probably fuming at Starmer and Reeves for stealing their winter fuel allowance to give train drivers and public sector workers above inflation pay rises……

Correct me Pete, but public sector workers pay has been held below the spike inflation, no? Inflation was 11%. I don't think the working people, the ones who keep this country going, have been given a pay rise close to that (doctors aside). Could be wrong.

If anyone wants to borrow an Enigma machine, I’ve just ordered one off EBay.

Public sector workers also get a very generous defined pension, topped up to the tune of several Billion every year by the taxpayer, this type of pension is now only available to about 7% of those in the private sector. And btw, the private sector workers also keep this country running and feeding it as well…..

Both of those things are true.

It was more the idea that public sector pay has kept up with inflation, or pay rises have gone above inflation. I'm not aware of any, outside of junior doctors that have been above the 11% of inflation, or subsequent rises.

We can all bleat on, but your problem is, junior doctors just leave if you don't pay them, and you get a brain drain. That's the reality. It's a free market our there.
