There is money and it’s in the wrong hands.

100%. Let's implement a wealth tax, continental style. It's the only way to be sure.

Xizor's legal representatives would like to make clear that the above comment was made in jest and that he/she has no plans or desire to wage bloody revolution on the millionaire classes. But like, if it happens, don't be too surprised.

What an interesting family she's part of, I had no idea. Nice name though.

Going to be a question for Dave how to approach this one. On the one hand she's likely bang to rights with the stench of 'kin Starmer Gang corruption on her, on the other hand she seems to be mates with Putin, which is tick in Dave's book.

Probably over to Palestine for the tie breaker. Not looking good for her.

Starmer is an arrogant fool. He will never admit to any mistake and will never learn…

“Sir Keir Starmer has said he would not do anything differently if given the chance to relive his five months in power, despite the turmoil and criticism he has faced since coming to office.

Closing off questions to the Prime Minister at the Liaison Committee of senior MPs, chairwoman Dame Meg Hillier asked: "Is there anything that you would do differently if you were starting out now, knowing what you now?"

Sir Keir replied: "No. We have had to do tough stuff, we are getting on with it and I am very pleased to be delivering from a position of power, rather than going around the division lobbies losing every night.”…….

Wiki…..

“The Labour party proxy and undeclared donations was a political scandal involving the British Labour Party in November and December 2007, when it was discovered that, contrary to legislation passed during the Blair Government, the Party had been receiving significant financial donations made anonymously via third parties. The careers of Labour Party treasurer Peter Watt and the leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Wendy Alexander, were curtailed as a consequence. In May 2009 the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was insufficient evidence for any prosecution relating to these events.[1][2][3]”

Can anyone guess who was the DPP at the time ?………

He's not wrong is he.

He's not wrong is he.

We won't know if he'll admit to a mistake until he makes one. Thought that was self evident.
