it seems a tendency of many labour supporters to say a lot without saying much at all. they tend to spend much of their lineage with generalisation such as we will change things, we can't tell you what because the tories will pinch our transformational ideas. you'll have to vote us in before we tell you. meanwhile we'll fill the void with such gems as "14 years" every other sentence and "tory lies" without elaborating on such accusations. i've listened to both sunak and starmer these last few days, sunak mainly talks using facts and trends what his party aim to do, starmer mainly ****s off the opposition and paints a picture of the sunny high ground we are all going to enjoy without actually telling us how he's going to achieve it. he's fond of talking about himself. he won't engage sunak live once a week because he knows he can only say 14 years and i once ran the cps so many times. he's not statesman material, he's a post turtle ( look it up).
3LittleBirds, trust/presume /hope your post was not aimed at me??
Ummm. I’m not sure I want to engage with such extreme hateful views. I’m middle of the road and always feel slightly embarrassed by some fellow Labour supporters. I assume you are anyway.
You make out that corruption and waste is endemic in the Uk rather than a few isolated cases probably during an unprecedented crisis. A few is too many and unacceptable I agree.. but get a grip.
Try living in many many other countries where everyday corruption is real.
To$$er.
They should be unelectable, but strange things happen. Remember Gulpy Brown and that comment picked up when he yapped about a constituent? Hurt him. Even more so with Kinnock and his seaside event and then the U.S. style triumphantism stage appearance. Cost him.
They haven’t really delivered much, other than outrageous corruption and waste of public funds.
It’s laughable what a bunch of utter f&&kwits they are. They literally could have won election after election following the fall of the red wall seats. All they needed to do was be moderately competent, stick to their promise to spend money in the north and not enrich themselves through dodgy dealings. But the arrogance and total lack of self awareness of so many of their MP’s of what utter fn idiots they are leading to their hypocrisy, subsequent lies and constant infighting has made them unelectable.
I’m not sure it’s fair to say they’ve wrecked everything. Most countries in the world have had equal pain.
Anyway…I’m a Labour voter. Always have been but I hate this loathing many people now have of ‘the other party’ that has crept into politics. It’s a weird sort of blinkered tribalism.
This country used to be fair-minded and tolerate. So did the US for that matter.
Yes and most of the country too. The opinion polls have them miles ahead and the Tories have literally wrecked everything. Not one good thing you can say about them. Just look at how many times they’ve had to replace the PM since 2019!?!?!
Wondering which one of them will be on top.
The biggest tit they have is Smarmer.
Great tits though.
We should all work hard to enrich the next generation and not expect to rely on handouts from those that do.
Have you not read English history 1066 to 1850 ?
It's not a new thing.
It has created generations of ever increasing wealth inequality and made people entitled and lazy. Not to mention brought out the worst in a lot of people.
Too true, thank goodness for the National Trust.
Inheritance tax is an unjust tax, it needs to be repealed I think. The best person to decide what happens to the assets they have accumulated in their lifetime is the person themselves . It has caused the demise of many great families, countless country houses, family businesses etc.
Let’s be honest, they are all utterly incompetent and inept and none of the parties are willing to take the necessary steps to sort out the nation’s finances (like putting an end to public sector final salary pensions, building enough houses, etc.).
At least Labour aren’t going to perpetuate a give away to those who already have more than enough and thereby making the problems worse, like abolishing inheritance tax.
Devilbhoy, sadly because total useless crap is going to be replaced by even more crap.
I have sleepless nights with the thought of Angela Rayner as next Labour leader or possible PM once Starmer moves over for her.
Cons are going early because Labour have zero plans. This will be exposed in the next 6 weeks.
I’m not saying the Cons are better, but Labour is a sure way to get the wheels taxed off you and have your garage inhabited with migrants. Just when Rwanda is starting to work.
sadly? you really think these utterly inept and corrupt ****wit conservatives deserve another term?
Yep we are all fck
Unions will be wanting their tuppence.
Not enough money to pay for their commitments/policies
Tax the oil industry more until no one will be able to drill as taxes are to high.
The last message left by labour at the treasury was nothing left all spent.
Vat added to private school fees wonder how schools will cope when they suddenly have a surge of applications from students whose parents can’t afford the 20% increase.
The green policy don’t expect tax cuts but tax rises.
Etc etc
Sadly yes labour will scream through and grab most of the freebee jobs (sorry, think they are called members of parliament). We therefore are all even more DOOMED than we currently are which is saying something!.
UK General Election called for July 4, six weeks away. Let’s see both party’ proposals on O&G windfall taxes. Do UK folks here think Labour might win?
I agree G-G-G.
Maybe mothball it until the unlikely event that someone offers us cash or a deal for it but definitively say that I3E will NOT be spending any more speculative money on it.
That would be enough to put a penny or two on the SP alone.
As for a UK office, isn't it a requirement to be listed in the UK ?
Agree they should bin off the Nth Sea. Complete waste of time and money.
