Current Affairs The Labour Party

Of course they have.

Oh hey, Reforms mouth piece is off again.

The Americans are pulling out. Bail us out.

They do know the UK is a basket case too don't they?

America as it is now naturally pushes us even closer to our nearest and dearest neighbors...

Honestly it's getting to the point where reform will have to win so people can realise they won't solve all your problems

Wont solve any problems that causes anger. Which is not bringing mortgages/rent back down down 6 times average salaries , having a well functioning working NHS. Literally make them two things better and Right wing populism dissipates quicker than a gnats fart.

Dave they never said there was no terrorist angle; they (Merseyside Police) said it wasn’t being treated as terror-related, which it wasn’t being (and IIRC hasn’t been since).

Well we all know now that the government and coppers knew this feller was on a watch list.

It was a lie by omission.

Is that all you've got left?

Sounds to me he was not taken seriously as a threat, being reported that his father desperately trying to manage his sons behavior. Come down to under resourced services just not being able to cope anymore with what is being asked of them. Can smell it!

Is that all you've got left?

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's enough.

Galloway, Trump, Farage.

Sir Starmer isn't perfect, but compared to your heroes he's basically Jesus.

Yeah, sounds about right.

He is if you're a Tory.

Own it!

Own it!

You are doing the work of Reform.

Own it.

He was on a watch list, was he?

I could have sworn what they said was he’d been through the Prevent process three times and had been evaluated each time as not being motivated by ideological terrorism.

TBH there is a wider issue of whether people like this, or the Derek Birds of the world, should be treated in the same channels as suspected terrorists of the classical kind.

Personally I don’t think they should be, at least after they’ve been assessed, but there does seem to be a gap with these where they pose extreme risk to others but aren’t doing it for a cause.

As if they wouldn't have him watched while on that...

Almost two-thirds of voters do not believe this government will be effective at improving their lives, even after four years, a new poll suggests.

According to Deltapoll, only 28% of people think the government will be effective at “improving the lives of people like you” after four years. Some 62% of people say it won’t be effective.

This is just one of several gloomy findings for the government in the poll, commissioned by the Institute for Government. The IfG is having its annual conferecen today and Hannah White, its director, has summed up the findings in a blog on the challenges facing the government. She says:

Only just over a fifth of people think that this government is being effective at improving their lives (22%) compared to 28% who now think the last Conservative government, which voters have just ejected, was effective. And, despite Labour’s efforts to highlight the long-term nature of their aspirations – the need for a decade of renewal – the public is only slightly more optimistic about the government being effective at improving their lives after four years (28%), while less than a quarter (23%) believe the size of economy will grow before the next election. Labour may have overperformed in landing its narrative about its difficult fiscal inheritance – and alongside anaemic growth figures and sticky inflation, the government seems to have convinced key economic actors that the outlook as well as the inheritance is poor.

Pay after inflation rises at fastest rate since 2021

Wage growth increased by 3.4% after taking into account inflation, driven by strong increases in the private sector.
