Current Affairs The Labour Party

[StDomingosGringo]

At that level of politics & particularly with Trump it’s a transactional relationship.

Starmer just like Albo will have to manage upwards and convince the dumbass we’re worth “the deal”

 

[Bruce Wayne]

So how many years have you worked and contributed then Bruce. Mine’s over 50 years, any advance ?….

That's irrelevant. You need to have worked for 35 years to qualify for the state pension, and nowhere does it say that the state pension has to rise by a certain amount each year. That's a political choice, and it's meant that pensioners have grown 50% wealthier than the working people that are paying for this. Do you think that's fair?

 

[spectateur]

I am so angry at the statement of our PM.
How very dare he grovel like that. Bending over to that wannabe dictator.,
Perpetuating the myth of a special relationship indeed.

 

[davek]

Imagine having voted for him?

Lol.

We have a special relationship with America in the same way Josef fritzl had a special relationship with his daughter.

Leader of the radical left Lib Dems, Ed Davey: "This is a dark day for the world"

Free Gear Keir: "Congratulations President-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead."

 

[Mrbluenose]

He won't need to do any of the sort.

Enjoy having Labour as your government, we all voted for it.

You can now enjoy watching him grovel.

"I look forward to working with you in the years ahead," the UK's prime minister says, adding:

“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.

“From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the UK-US special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come.”



Remember, you voted for it.

 

[peteblue]

It's kind of irrelevant. The point he's making is people like me, and him pay your benefits. So a bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss like. That's his point.

I don't really care, a civilized society should provide for those out of work.

Neither you nor Bruce contribute to me. I still pay 40% tax…..

It’s not ‘irrelevant’, you telling someone they should be grateful for what you and others currently pay in. I still pay 40% tax even in retirement. You and your ilk are the most ungrateful and spoilt generation to date……

 

[peteblue]

Lammy has built relationships with Trump. I wouldn't worry too much Pete. You and your sort got humiliated in the election here, your view remain irrelevant.

I didn’t get humiliated at any election. I called it right, as usual, and I also called it right as to whose fault it would be when the Tories got trounced….

Surely you see the need for the prime minister to be diplomatic?

Let the arse kissing commence. Can’t wait for any kind of statement from Lammy…….

Let the arse kissing commence. Can’t wait for any kind of statement from Lammy…….

Trump will demand a heavy price for Starmer's neo-cons going over to get behind Harris.

Trump loves winners like Starmer more than he likes legal types.

 

[davek]

Trump loves winners like Starmer more than he likes legal types.

Does he like people stabbing him in th back? I hadn't heard that about him, tbh.

Tarrifs are coming and there'll be no special dispensation for the UK...especially when Farage has his ear.
