That's 3 massive face saving U turns in one month by Starmer. A record for any government ever.

"isn't it great we have a leader who is willing to listen, and reshape policy accordingly."

Or to put it another way, will do another U turn to save face.

"That would be an interesting event to attend, but I'd have to keep my political views to myself"

You should do that here as well. 😁

"The dollar has fallen to a three-year low following a report that Donald Trump is considering bringing forward the announcement of his choice to succeed the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell.

The US president has repeatedly clashed with Powell, accusing the central bank chief of being too slow to cut interest rates, calling him “very dumb” in his latest broadside on Tuesday.

Powell’s term as chair is due to run for another 11 months, until next May, and the announcement of a successor traditionally comes three or four months in advance.

An early announcement of the next Fed chair could allow whoever Trump picks to influence expectations about the path for interest rates, which could undermine Powell during the final months of his term."

It's a pity STP's father didn't shoot blanks.

"Pledged £30 to charity. CHARITY . MY CHARITY FOODBANKS."

Correction, you pledged to pay £30 to the Mr Meercat charity, and that charity was Diabetes UK. The only one who is angry is you whenever I remind you that you have not yet paid the £30 to the Mr Meercat charity that you pledged to pay.

"It called being economical with the truth, and we all do it!"

No need to admit you are a liar.........we all know that. 😁

Keir Starmer is going to agree at the NATO summit that the he will increase UK defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035? Very optimistic on his part if he is thinking Labour will win the next 2 GE's and he will still be PM in 2035!

Just watching the news now on TV and Trump says quote......."Putin has called me and asked me if I need any help with Iran. And I told him no I don't need any help with Iran, what I need help with is you." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've told you before you only dig yourself deeper into the hole when you try and blag your way out of it.

Is that the same Sir Keir that you said was a to55er and needed to be replaced?
