Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Thomasc]

Really surprised to see that in a local council election near me in Bispham that Labour came out on top,

Fully expected a reform victory after all the bile I’ve read on social media there recently.

Tory’s and reform split the right wing / fruitcake vote again and have handed victory to Labour. Smashing stuff!

“Rebecca Wilson, 29, is a fifth-generation sheep and arable farmer in Yorkshire. She is among the tens of thousands of agricultural workers up and down the country now grappling with the fallout.

“The Budget is a complete U-turn on what we were promised,” she says, citing Sir Keir Starmer’s 2023 speech at the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), when the now-Prime Minister pledged to forge “a new relationship with the countryside and farmers”. “Losing a farm is not like losing any other business, it can’t come back,” he said at the time.”

The man will say anything he believes his audience wants to hear, a liar and a charlatan…..

Genuinely quite sad to see you do this every single night at the same time.

I see the forum bigot was on a roll last night. Late night booze and the internet are very dangerous bedfellows.

Poor little Becca, woe is the little girl whose Daddy is one of the richest farmers in the land. Good to see she is putting that Cambridge political degree to good effect... Bet student loans ain't her Schtick.

It's odd, all figures suggest that Tories need to appease the vote that has swang off to Labour and Liberal, yet the right of the party now running Tories continues too cannibalise itself and chase Reform.

Great to see them splitting the right wing vote and causing damage to each other.

To quote Stewart Lee, “like 2 rats fighting over a soggy courgette in a U Bend”.

Indeed. They have mantra of don't have children if you can't afford them. To the point real concern that birth rates are falling. Now don't let the immigrants in stealing your jobs.
At what point does the right realise it's literally eating itself to its own death.

As a slogan it's not that catchy, but if you can fit it on a placard then bring it to the revolutionary march.

I'm not sure...

I don't know about banning smoking but I wish we could introduce a breathalyser test before you can enter this thread.

I wish we could introduce an IQ test…..

Nanny state…..try reading it before defending Starmer….

I’m a doctor – Labour’s plan to ban smoking outside hospitals is a ridiculous show of nanny statism

Addicts cannot simply quit as soon as they enter hospital and the activity gives them some much-needed relief

www.telegraph.co.uk

If you think banning smoking outside hospitals is "nanny state" and not just decent common sense....

Sounds like that doctor hasn't worked for the NHS for a long time as There are plenty of nicotine replacement substitutes and treatment.offered by the NHS stop smoking service. So if you the feel the urge of an addict you can just have one of those lovely alternatives

Go to hospital, chew some nicotine gum and let everyone else suffering health problems.not have to walk through clouds of smoke to get to their appointment.

Simple common sense

Do they ever say this when complaining about VAT on school fees?
