Never in doubt LTI 😉

Enjoy the pub fella 👍

Yes we can look forward to an awful year in 2025 with Rachel Theives raising even more taxes as the economy tanks into the abyss.

Hope you’re proud of yourselves you pinko commies 👍

Another brainless and trolling thread by DCB. Hotels full of immigrants, the NHS buckling under the strain and a huge cost to the welfare system. And you want more to flood in ? 🙄

“ Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has been knighted in Sir Keir Starmer’s first New Year Honours List, despite presiding over spiralling crime rates in the capital.

Since Sir Sadiq succeeded Boris Johnson in 2016, knife crime has increased by more than 50 per cent, and violent crime has soared despite a 71 per cent increase in the portion of council tax that Londoners pay to City Hall.

Earlier this year, families of young people killed in the capital said the Mayor had “completely lost control” of the streets.

Sir Sadiq said he was “truly humbled” to receive his knighthood. But a petition against him being knighted, which followed reports that it was in the pipeline, has attracted more than 200,000 signatures in less than a month.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said Londoners would be “furious” at Sir Sadiq’s knighthood, which amounted to “rewarding failure”.

He said: “Under Sadiq Khan, Londoners have faced a 61 per cent increase in knife crime, a housing crisis and a 70 per cent increase in council tax – they will rightly be furious his track record of failure is being rewarded.”

You couldn’t make it up.

The mother of all bubbles was your forlorn hope that Labour would be better for this country.

How stupid do you feel now DCB ?

DCB, Labour polled less votes at the 2024 election than the last. Maybe you’re not intelligent to work out that Labour are in power by default, because the centre-right vote was split between the Conservatives and Reform. Hardly a kicking.

Drove into my relatively affluent town today and was horrified to see homeless people sleeping in 3 tents opposite the local YMCA flats. Of course the illegals who crossed the channel today will be in nice warm hotels with 3 meals a day. Enough is enough.

“I will have a happy new year when Starmer is not in power and labor go down the toiled :-)”

Amen to that. 2025 is going to be a horrendous year as Labour’s incompetence and stupidity beds in. Recession coming, stagflation coming, unemployment rising, mortgage rates up, more tax raids, businesses struggling, hiring disappearing, wealth moving abroad, higher net immigration etc etc

Labour didn’t even have a honeymoon period they are that horrendous and horrific. Rachel Thieves mentioned “growth” 39 times in her budget speech. What an absolute joke. And all to placate their union paymasters who received inflation busting pay rises with no productivity improvements.

When inflation is dropping all over the world, ours is increasing courtesy of these communist morons. Cue the usual idiots on here who pretend they own Lloyd’s shares but in reality are just left wing trolls who want bailing out by those who have achieved in their lives.

BB,

Don’t know what stone Redcain has crawled out from under. Probably a poster with multiple IDs. I guess it says more about the poster when he/she resorts to calling people tos*ers to make a point. How tedious zzzzzzz

You’re obviously not intelligent enough to have read my post properly. I was referring to Labour as communists not ETIAS. Do keep up.

That’s not like the EU to be adding more red tape and restrictions 🙄 No wonder the EU has become uninvestable. France’s CAC40 down by 3% in the last 12 months whilst the S&P rose 25% and the Nikkei up 21%. We’ve joined the rot now under your communist chums Steinbecking.

How f*cking desperate. They’ve only had 14 years to formulate a growth policy and now Starmer is asking watchdogs to dig him out of the hole he and Rachel Thieves have dug in just 6 months.

You couldn’t make it up.

You don’t tax your way to growth.

Labour don’t give a stuff about the economy just their union paymasters and freeloaders. Ed Milliband is one of the stupidest MPs in recent history. They’ve given him the right job to prove what a failure he is.

What a load of left wing drivel. Anyone with a brain cell can see what’s happening to all the economic indicators since these communists took over number 10 and 11.

“ Nigel Farage has called for a crackdown on public sector pension “Ponzi schemes” after it emerged a quarter of council tax revenue is funding staff retirement pots.

The Reform UK leader warned gold-plated public pensions are the “biggest ticking time bomb” in government finances and that the disparity with those in the private sector amounted to “pensions apartheid”.

Mr Farage – who recently described his party as the “real opposition” to Labour – urged ministers to hold a debate on the issue, which he accused successive governments of ignoring.

His intervention came after new figures revealed that £1 in every £4 raised in council tax was spent on local government pensions last year.”

Spot on Nigel 👍👍

Labour trashing the economy. What a grim year 2025 is going to be for a lot of people under these incompetent f*ckwits.

“ The world’s biggest bank is shunning British debt amid fears that Rachel Reeves has stoked inflation with record increases in the minimum wage and a £40bn tax raid.

JP Morgan Asset Management, which has $3.3 trillion (£2.6 trillion) of assets under management, including more than $750bn in bonds, said “big uncertainty” over the magnitude of next year’s wage increases and the impact on prices meant it was steering clear of UK gilts.

Seamus Mac Gorain, a managing director at the bank, said it was buying Spanish and Italian debt instead.

He said: “I think there’s a big uncertainty [about the UK]. We had a period of very high inflation, mainly due to energy prices. And that inflation passed through prices all around the economy, including service prices and wages.

“And now we’ve had a year where energy prices are a bit lower. What should happen is that next year, all these other prices, like services, wages, should come down.

The Bank of England held rates at 4.75pc in December. Investors now expect Threadneedle Street to cut rates just twice in 2025, compared with at least four times ahead of Ms Reeves’s maiden budget. The Bank cut rates twice in 2024. By contrast, the European Central Bank cut rates four times while the US Federal Reserve reduced rates three times.

Mr Mac Gorain said: “Other central banks have been easing policy more quickly than the Bank of England, and that makes sense, because they’ve seen a bit more progress on inflation.”

“The premium paid to public sector workers has tripled this year after a string of generous deals were struck by Sir Keir Starmer’s Government.

Public sector employees are paid around 6pc more than those in the private sector, according to analysis of official data by the Left-leaning Resolution Foundation think tank – a gap three times greater than at the start of the year, when it stood at around 2pc.

The research will raise fears that the Government is prioritising the demands of unions over taxpayers, who suffered a record £40bn raid in Rachel Reeves’s maiden Budget.

It comes ahead of fraught negotiations over further public sector pay rises next year, with teachers and medical staff threatening industrial action because they consider an above-inflation increase proposed by the Chancellor to be too low.

The Resolution Foundation also found that the highest-income households would suffer the biggest hit next year from higher taxes, with the top 10pc of earners facing a 0.6pc drop in living standards, equivalent to £356 per person.”

Hardly a government for all workers is it ? Just one for their union buddies more like 🙄

Labour and a recession is Ant’s solution.

Happy Christmas 🎄 all.
