I'm sure we can all appreciate the fact that waiting lists are coming down and that our NHS staff have been rewarded with a long awaited, much deserved, pay rise too.

🥳

🥳🎉🎈💃🥳🎉🎈💃

I'm sure we can all celebrate the news that the economy has grown under the Labour government.

Please use this thread for joy and jubilee purposes 👍

Any factual information is interesting, i would never wish to be a bigot and i would never claim to be all knowing.

That said, the info you supplied was published 12 years ago and showed a general decline since 1970.

I wonder how figures since that was published stack up?

Naturally 'we all know' that Brexit and zero investment in the nation had absolutely nothing to do with it...

“Anyone sounding the all-clear on tariffs, or Trump economic policy in general, should be kept away from sharp objects and banned from operating heavy machinery,” Krugman, one of the country’s top economists, wrote in a Substack post titled “Trump Is Stupid, Erratic and Weak.”

Worrying times.

Economist on SKY just now pointing out that the last time there was a global trade war it lead to the 'Great Depression' (and we're not talking Real Madrid here..)

GGP results on the 14th and expected to be very good indeed 👍

Footage of Trump pointing at his pals and commenting about how much they've made.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Are you going to attempt to blame Labour for the global banking crisis because i've had enough of hearing that daft 5h1t.

'Above all, the UK’s economic troubles can be traced to its DISMAL record on productivity growth.

A rise in productivity – the ability of workers to produce more with less – is the key driver of economic growth and improving living standards.

The UK’s productivity growth has BADLY LAGGED its peers under the stewardship of the Conservatives.

GDP per hour worked increased by an average of 0.6 percent annually in the 2010s, compared with 2.2 percent in the decade before the financial crisis – the worst performance among the Group of Seven economies except for Italy, according to the Resolution Foundation.'

skier 'we've never had it so good!' 😂

'ultra low unemployment'

Amazing what fiddling the figures and zero hour contracts can produce isn't it...

The Tories gave us the weakest economic growth since 'at least' WW2.

The Tories gave us the lowest growth in wages since Napoleonic times.

'Economic growth under Conservative government is lowest since 1826, experts say.'

But it isn't funny is it.

They have wrecked the future of the country after all.

Kwarteng's face on Sky News after being told 'the decisions you and Liz Truss made, were moronic' is one of the most amusing things i've ever seen regarding politics, ever.

Writes an OAP with no concern for the future of the planet..

An old Tory Thatcherite wanting coal mines open.

Now there's a thing...

You mean to say Starmer is manipulating the figures regarding Police Officer numbers?

Why, that'd be like the Tories announcing they were employing 20,000 additional Officers when the reality was they'd cut the force by that figure previously along with thousands of PSCO's and office staff and the replacement 20,000, when taking into account the growth of the population, was still not replacing the previous number.

To think, you're supposedly the most intelligent poster on the LSE boards.

'The European Union said it was pausing its own countermeasures to try to work things out with the Trump administration, while China has doubled down on its own retaliatory duties and bellicose language.'

Naturally Bloomer believes the EU are quaking in their boots...

'Trump said yesterday that more than 75 countries had called the administration to negotiate over economic policy. But the number of countries actively negotiating on tariffs is actually a fraction of that, according to the president's economic adviser, Kevin Hassett.

"Saying you’ve got a lot of countries calling, that’s one thing, right? But, you know, maybe could be calling to say, 'How’s the weather out there?'" Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, said in a CNBC interview. "But then, having people really begin negotiations to make offers, that’s a different number. That number is like closing in on 20."

About 15 countries have made "explicit offers," '

Naturally Bloomer still believes every word Trump spews...
