Current Affairs The Labour Party

You wanted Brexit, which was highlighted at the time as having huge impacts on social care from both a staffing and economic perspective.

Shall we call this project fear, short term pain for long term gain or a sign of greater control over our policy decisions?

Of course, the NIC increase was all the fault of Brexit as usual, not the fact that our lying CV enhancing ’economist’ has screwed it up for the private sector providers while shielding the public sector. Some of you guys really need to get a new excuse…what about having a black hole, or fixing the foundations or needing loads of mission statements. The one thing the country is not short of at the moment is wishy washy rhetoric from Starmer and yet another U turn on tax from the ‘economist’…..

Everyone and his dog knew Boris was not a detail man, he was a man of vision and leadership, he had the Gove’s and Sunak’s of this world to advise him on the detail. Starmer is neither a man of detail, nor of vision, nor of leadership, and doesn’t have any quality ministers supporting him…….

Boris Johnsons cabinet in 2019 was Dominic 'I've just realised the UK is an Island' Raab, Priti Patel (forced to resign because of secret lobbying), Matt Hancock, Andrea Leadsom, Liz Truss, Gavin Williamson.

It's no wonder he was screwed if he left the detail to them.

I never said it was the fault of Brexit. You've completely invented that.

I said Brexit was incredibly damaging to the care sector and was dismissed at the time as either project fear, a necessary hit or short term pain.

I know your hero doesn't do detail, but you might want to give it a try if you want a conversation. Either that or be less dull.

That’s what Sunny uplands and unicorns does

So why did you even mention Brexit in the first place….

Better than the constant misery and talking down of the country we’re getting at the moment…it’s like Dyche does politics…..

You should approach your care home concerns with the same sunny disposition.

Chin up everyone. Boris, Truss and the gang have done wonders for us.

Brexit is the weirdest thing ever , people who were desperate for it and told us how amazing it would be now seem desperate to not talk about it and seem anxious to avoid it being brought up in any conversation and ‘move on ‘.

I’m desperate for Everton to win a trophy again , I want us to win one and it’ll be amazing if we do . Trust me if we do I’ll never ever stop talking about it . If someone brought up us winning that trophy the last thing I would do is accuse them of being obsessed with Everton winning a trophy , I’d be pushing them into that exact conversation.

Maybe it's because they don't want to admit they've been conned

He's off on his holidays again.

In his latest overseas trip, the prime minister will head to the Gulf this weekend. He will first travel to the United Arab Emirates for a meeting with its president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, before travelling on to Saudi Arabia. Starmer will use the trip to push for a free trade deal with a group of six Gulf nations – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.


Wooing Saudi Arabia will prove controversial due to widely held concerns over its human rights record and activities during its war with Yemen. Prince Mohammed is believed by US intelligence to have ordered the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. In 2022, Starmer accused Boris Johnson of “going cap in hand from dictator to dictator” ahead of a visit to the kingdom that was pitched as an attempt to become less reliant on Russian energy.
