“ Starmer who was campaigning 4 miles away at Aldershot completely taken over by Immigrants.”

Isn’t it Aldershot that is full of Lumley’s immigrant Gurkhas

“ Here's the biggest challenge for labour - how to implement net zero by 2030 , i.e during their time in office. The 4 big challenges are; ”

Tax, tax, tax to the hilt wherever you can hit people that can’t push back.

So any business that makes too much profit as far as Labour are concerned any the rank and file that are deemed to have too much money and can cream off the top.

Below is also from the BBC. It just reinforces the fact that the EU controlling junta see that democracy is all about being centrist and if the left or right try to rise to power then they do anything they can legally or not to dispel any advances they make, so where is true democracy in EU politics?

A few days ago, President Emmanuel Macron raised the spectre of "civil war" if either the far right or the hard left ended up running France.

Some have regarded the warning as self-serving hyperbole. But many in France appear to take it seriously. According to a poll published on Friday, 40% of French people fear the programme of the left-wing France Unbowed (LFI) could eventually lead to civil war; the figure for the far-right National Rally is 40%.

In anticipation of first-round results, shopfronts across the country have been boarded up to avoid being looted. The country is no stranger to political unrest: the damage from a wave of riots last year amounted to a €800m (£677m).

This is from the BBC

The European project has traditionally been powered by the "Franco-German motor".

But the engine has run out of steam in recent years. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who came to power in 2021, is a more lukewarm European than his predecessors. Mr Macron, a passionate Europhile, lost much of his clout along with his majority in 2022.

For EU enthusiasts, the news has gone from bad to worse this month. Germany's coalition took a drubbing in European elections, as did Mr Macron's party, while the nationalist far right made breakthroughs in both countries.

Now, France’s far-right National Rally (RN) appears poised to win these parliamentary polls. It has promised to end the primacy of European laws, a cornerstone of the EU project. And the RN is vying for pole position with a left-wing coalition dominated by the Eurosceptic France Unbowed.

The French part of Europe's hobbled engine appears about to stall at a time when the EU faces challenges from a war at its doorstep to migration and climate change.

“ And as we see in the EU, those smug we know it all types, are now bringing out the FEAR tactics because the people are not voting the way they are intended to vote.”

The EU political system is geared to a ‘one size fit for all’ which those sensible people amongst are clearly recognise. The Italians made an interesting speech to the EU which I found interesting.

“ Addressing the Italian parliament on Wednesday, Ms Meloni angrily said European voters had asked the EU to "take a different path to the one it has travelled on so far".

Without naming names, she criticised "those who argue that citizens are not mature enough to take certain decisions, and [who believe] that oligarchy is essentially the only acceptable form of democracy".

What an arrogant bunch the so called EU leaders are.

“ If it costs £10 billion just to house illegals what is the actually total costings of keeping millions ? ”

The lib/dems are totally focused on taking the UK back into the EU. Barnier has already said if we go back in we will have to accept free movement of people. That means total loss of border control and a frightening number of people potentially coming here to claim benefits we know of today and whatever the next government wants to add to them to provide a free lifestyle.

Then we look at our own indigenous homeless who are not eligible to claim anything like the migrants, our priorities are totally out of tilt.

As a guessing game I will propose .0105p

“ Plenty on pensioners up here in Cumbria asset rich, but cash poor and " dare i say it " living on pension credit payments.”

One option we are looking at if the tax rumours pan out to be true and the worst happens, is at some point to sell our home, help one of our children to buy a larger property with a granny annex and then slowly drip feed the surplus cash to all the kids to stop any exorbitant and morally wrong IHT getting to the government coffers.

Well banks are not high up on Farage’s Christmas card list seeing how he was treated a couple of years ago. Revenge is sweet if he gets in.

‘ Starmer will make full use of the private health sector to tackle the massive NHS backlog and bring waiting list numbers down’

If the NHS and private sector is maxed out then we will see free flights to his beloved EU and treatment performed at an even more inflated cost and our taxes will have to go up to cover it.

As a side note I went for a pre assessment on Friday for a cataract operation, it was a private outfit who specialises in eyes. I don’t have a problem with it. Although it may cost more than the NHS a doing it (if they do this op that is) they don’t have to worry about recruitment, pensions, sick leave, maternity pay, building costs etc so in some way it may not be as expensive in the long term

Nuffield Health works with the NHS, providing a range of services to NHS patients through local initiatives to reduce waiting lists for NHS treatment

‘ And the thanks we got was zilch from our European neighbours’

If I remember correctly the main opponent to us after the war was de Gaulle, most ungrateful Frenchman going.

Poland?

How many U turns is that now?

It could well be. Biden, the man when you look into his eyes and nobody is home.

It may surprise you but the answer would be ‘yes’. I have a dislike for anyone that makes speculative statements that are cleverly pieced together to mislead people into believing it is a true factual statement. As it stands now we are all clutching at snippets of information, analysing it and seeing what the outcome may be. Some information is more credible than other pieces.

In reality time will give us our answers and then we can all comment on what is being posted now and how it pans out and if needed criticise appropriately.

‘ Separately, a Bloomberg poll published on Monday found that a Labour victory would be the best election outcome for the pound.’

Well I shall watch the pound very closely then as I do or used to buy a lot of goods from the States. My expectation on the above statement is for the pound to be trading between $1.50 - $1.60 but I doubt very much it will get there soon.

DT

Well the article uses interesting words like:

Forecast,believe,likely, perception, expected, think

All words that basically have zero substance to the related topics being discussed. A lot of hot air as expected by the likes of JPM

‘ JP Morgan analysts said a Labour victory would be particularly positive for the banking’

Well I would like to see what the positives are. Perhaps they are a reduced divi and a lower share price to enable a foreign (Amarican) cheap takeover.

Then perhaps they should put up NI from 2% to 8% for those on 40% tax. Why should they get a discount?

Labour said they won’t change this tax for the working man and of course Labour MP’s will benefit from a tax perk. Meanwhile the rest of us will be possibly looking at getting out of shares etc.

Perhaps you need to ask Reeves that question. I just found the article.
