Keir Starmer 3 March 2021:

“Despite what's happening in Yemen, despite Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a murder the US has concluded was approved by the Saudi Crown Prince. I have to ask, what would it take for the Prime Minister to suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia?"

Keir Starmer today:

"From cutting the cost of living for hardworking British people, to building resilient supply chains. That is why we are strengthening our defence partnership with Saudi Arabia"

Lammy: what an utter gob that feller is:

'David Lammy says Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group that has taken over Syria, will be judged “by their actions”'.

They'll be chopping off heads within a week.

FFS, imagine having been conned into voting for these rats.

Hodge's conduct during the Expenses scandal from 2012:

Deducting staffing costs and the "communications allowance", Ms Hodge claimed a total of £24,767 for her office last year - the sixth highest claim by any London MP and in the top 10 per cent of all MPs. For 2006 and 2007 she claimed about £43,000. She is also likely to have claimed between £20,000 and £25,000 this year, although exact figures are not yet available, making her total potential claim for the office in excess of £90,000.

Anti-corruption Champion: Poacher turned gamekeeper more like it.

This horrible rat oversaw Islington council when it was implicated in child sex abuse scandals should have been punted years ago, but the rancid rat is handed a job by the Starmer Gang.

What a steaming pile of corruption:

Starmer and his Saudis and now this in the same day.

They'll implode under the weight of their own filth long before 2029.

Lammy really is a pillock. Starmer needs to get shut of him, he’s a total idiot…….

 

[Rita_Poon]

maybe they both need their eyes testing...

Lammy really is a pillock. Starmer needs to get shut of him, he’s a total idiot…….

Why, because he called one of your old customers a rat?

More news of socialism in action:

Rachel Reeves is demanding cuts to all government departments. She'll be turning to banks to determine what will be of value and what is 'waste':

Budgets will be reviewed by panels, including former senior management at Lloyd's Banking Group, Barclays Bank and the Co-operative Group working alongside experts from think tanks, academics and others from the private sector.

The Treasury says the panels will "bring an independent view to what government spend is or isn't necessary".

Reeves said: "I said I would have an iron grip on the public finances and that means taking an iron fist against waste."

As an example of the type of programme the government intends to cut, the Treasury pointed to a scheme which placed social workers in schools.

So let's just take stock: she's turning to banks that got hundreds of billions in tax payer handouts during the financial crisis to determine where value for money lies...that's a Barclays Bank dont forget that was also found guilty of fraud during the financial crisis and Lloyds Banking Group that had to be partially nationalised for a period and £20billion of public money pumped into it to survive.

God know who the right wing 'think tanks' will be who'll also advise; and we'll get to know what 'private sector' "experts" will be involved...no doubt those looking to get services outsourced to them and more privatisation of our lives come from it.

Keep enjoying the socialism.

Our union agreed to a 2% cut to go towards our pay rise.

It’s not so much cuts, as it is managing the finances better and putting them to better use.

 

[Xizor]

So you don't know who the advisors will be but you assume they'll be right wing and worth complaining about anyway. Sure, typical hysteria from you.

But moving past that, is the correct answer to all this that we should all fall in behind a Galloway type who'll leave NATO and flood the economy with the £billions of freed up cash then Dave?

 

[Xizor]

Why did they get all the troops up on that flatbed for Brave Sir Starmer's noble address?

This is what happens when the Kool Aid hits the spot.

This is what happens when the Kool Aid hits the spot.

It is though.

So much money is wasted in the public sector. You don’t fix that by throwing more money it’s way.

Spoken like a true Tory.

"Cuts are good".
