Carrying his own bags in the rain. What a man of the people! Truly deserves a good rest somewhere warm.
 
I envy him. I'd like to be able to get away from the remains of the tory party and the upsurge in the reform types. Couple of weeks supping cocktails in the sun serenaded by the waves of the ocean .

Italy and Spain confirm eurofighter deal. Thousands of jobs at BAE secured.
 
A Christmas gift from me to all of #TopTierKeir's detractors on this day of merriment and coming together. An edited compilation of pictures from today's Guardian's "political photos of the year" article mentioning all your favourite scandals.

I think it’s only lost on Starmer and Reeves. Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, together with all of their Chancellors, were all happy with the WFA ……
Why is support with energy costs something only available to pensioners? You and I both know the answer, and it's that pensioners vote more than any other demographic group, so get thrown sops that other groups don't enjoy. Maybe the uncomfortable answer to your question is that the current government is not beholden to a slice of the population that has held previous governments to ransom.
 
Why didn't thatcher or major bring it in?

Who knows, why didn’t Wilson or Callahan bring it in. Labour brought it in and both Labour and Conservatives kept it. Starmer and Reeves removed it supposedly to save money, but it looks like it will save no money at all……..

Perhaps it’s the fact that older people feel the cold more and spend more time at home which needs heating rather than those of the younger generations. Also if you believe it’s just to keep 10million voters on side, then the decision to remove it appears to be rather stupid……
 
Because vulnerable older people will suffer and may die, or does that not concern you….
You know that bit in 'return of the jedi' where the emperor is putting the voltage to Luke and then Darth picks up the emperor and somehow throws him out of the window into the vacuum of space? This moment here with you eclipses that heel turn completely.

Well done.
