I read that somewhere hardup, a decision not expected until summer.

Labour are now busy doing sweet fa, except for going on fact finding jollies and creating inquiries.

Travesties….a false, absurd, or distorted representation of something. Picked the right handle there travesties. 😆

Stonking manufacturing PMI figures out this morning, been on a downward trend since, would you believe it, last July. Now there's a coincidence.

Now firmly entrenched well below the 50 mark @ 44.9.

But hey we're all gonna be £500 better off by the end of this parliament. With the next election approximately 45 months away, that equates to c£12 per month.

Don't spend it all at once.

I thought if you told lies in the HoC you have to come back and apologise, everyone knows that figure will be a minus in 45 months time.

Welcome back Chid, thought you'd be back but under another handle. Well you've got form in that direction haven't you?

LR.

As the school is in Rachel Reeves’ constituency, that probably depends how near she lives to it. 😄

Rachel Reeves, another abject disaster.

“Another day, another independent school forced.. to close its doors thanks to Labour’s punitive VAT raid on private education. This time it’s a historic school in Rachel Reeves’ constituency.”

“Fulneck School, a boarding and day school in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, has told parents it will shut down at the end of this academic year, leaving almost 300 pupils without a place. Fulneck was first opened in 1753, and in a letter to parents said that despite “exhaustive efforts to secure the school’s long-term future, changes within the independent education sector” and the “rising cost of living” has made it “financially unviable” for the school to stay open. Yet another casualty of Labour’s ideological war on education.”

More strain on the education system.

Gun.

They've offered £500 million to continue at a loss with electric arc furnaces. Obviously rejected.

Reynolds, the make believe solicitor is on the case so don't hold your breath for an early outcome, he's a fast talker mostly full of 💩 but he can't reduce power costs. Result, environmental costs continue to take their toll.

“If you could now direct that profound wisdom towards lloyds and tell us what the future holds, I'll be all ears.”

STP

Lloyds is subject to the market, whereas Starmer is quite simply a halfwit out of his depth.

That just about sums it up, I'm sure you'll agree.

STP.

I wrote this some weeks ago, quoting Starmer.

“I'll be willing to consider troops in Ukraine.” The first time Starmer has spoken out on the international stage and he's been ridiculed by our allies.

Thought he was on safe ground but ended up jumping the gun.True to form a proper numpty.

And now in a vain attempt to show his leadership on the international stage, it's all falling apart.

The Starmer lies are surfacing, what European unity was he talking about?

He's a dedicated remoaner and he's just discovering the posturing EU is exactly that, talk, more talk followed by inaction.

UK finding itself more isolated with EU countries not so keen to get involved.

Is there no end to this premier's wisdom?

Starmer's a bystander in all this.

As it turns out it's all true STP.

“Only a matter of weeks ago – fizzing with excitement after Keir Starmer’s Oval Office charm-fest – lobby journalists and assorted insiders were heaping praise on the Prime Minister for his “global leadership” on Ukraine. Some absurd Labour briefings and comment pieces compared it to Thatcher’s ‘Falklands moment”

“Before the month is out, Starmer’s Ukraine peace plan (put together with Chequers best buddy Emmanuel Macron) has fallen apart in dramatic fashion.”

“Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s prime minister, is turning towards air and sea support to defend Ukraine, a shift from his previous focus on European “boots on the ground” to secure any peace deal with Russia.”

“Only the UK and France have publicly committed to sending troops to Ukraine so far, and some European leaders such as Italy’s Giorgia Meloni have opposed the idea of putting “boots on the ground.” Most other countries involved in the talks have instead offered military assets or troops to backfill other parts of NATO that are willing to provide soldiers, the people familiar said.”

With the direction being set by Trump, Starmer's first major announcement on the world stage is looking to end in failure, just like anything else he puts his hand to.

“Starmer is looking more like one of the Chuckle Brothers than Churchill,”

All hail to the UK's leader, this bloke is dangerous. Gawd help us all.

No doubt the government and the few hangers on will be crowing about today's miserable figures. Hardly anything to shout about and certainly nothing the government has done.

Perhaps they'll blame Trump the Conservatives, and a black hole 🕳️

The gullible will be taken in as usual.

STP.

Yeah, labour knows all about bin men and strikes, again from Labour's past failures.

Oh Birmingham council is run by labour.

“Dates have been set for a High Court challenge to Labour’s VAT on independent schools. A judicial review is being brought by seven families supported by the Independent Schools Council and represented by Kinglsey Napley. Filed before Christmas, multiple claims come on behalf of different groups and schools themselves…

High Court dates are from the 1st to 3rd of April. The claimants are arguing that the government is breaching the right to education as set out in the ECHR, and specifically that access is restricted to children with SEND, religious or philosophical education needs, and foreign nationals. (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

Three judges are expected to hear this one – that’s rare…

Labour has hired not one, not two, but four KCs to defend its policy. Funnily enough, they all went to fee-paying schools”

You couldn't make it up.

"Tariffs take effect...on the 2nd of april"

And there was me thinking they've been in force since January. That's about the time labour started blaming Trump for their self imposed economic decline. The laugh is he was only inaugurated on January 20, 2025.

They were desperate back then, whereas the knowledgeable knew what was coming.

Welfare cuts announced.

Good laugh this morning reading Labour's very own comical Ali (aka loopy loo) desperately trying to defend the shambles emanating from Downing Street. 😂🤣😂 He's found a new website, posted the link at least 3 times. What he failed to mention is that the director of this website, Paul Johnson worked for the last labour government, in its entirety.

“From September 1998 to January 1999 he was an advisor on pensions and welfare reform in the Cabinet Office.[2] He was also head of Economies of Financial Regulation at the Financial Services Authority, 1998–2000, before being appointed as chief economist and director of analytical services to the Department for Education and Employment, soon renamed as the Department for Education and Skills, remaining until 2004. That year he went to HM Treasury as Director of Public Services and Chief Micro-Economist, continuing in post until 2007. He was also deputy head of the Government Economic Service from 2005 to 2007.”

Save your valuable time loopy, what's left of it. I love it, what a plonker hehe.

Annual inflation in the United Kingdom landed at 2.8% in February, dropping from January's inflation rate of 3% and coming below analysts' expectations, the UK Office for National Statistics revealed in a report on Wednesday.

The largest contributors to the annual inflation rate were the education division, with a 7.5% jump, and the communications division, with a 7.3% increase. On the other hand, clothing and footwear was the only division that observed an annual decline, dropping 0.6% from February 2024.

Consumer prices jumped by 0.4% on a monthly basis, while the Consumer Prices Index, including owner-occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), climbed by 3.7% year-on-year and rose by 0.4% month-on-month.

As long as she doesn't mess with the ISA limit, we have this year's contribution lined up and ready to go.

Usually not in this much of a hurry but with this bunch of amateurs in charge, if the opportunity arises you've got to take it. Otherwise these bar stewards will have it one way or another.

“Need the EU to join BRICS soon, pleese”

LL.

You'll make great bedfellows with this lot. Even Argentina declined an offer to join.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.

Desperados.

No, no apology in all that drivel slippery.

Please try again or shut the fck up, dumbo.

That goes for your mate loopy as well, oh sorry you haven't got any mate's.

Same here gate, all out of Rachel Thieves reach. Trouble is they're getting desperate for money due to their policies (that's growth hehe). A retrospective tax cannot be dismissed. Don't know how they would work it, but I wouldn't trust these thieving lying bas tard's.

Loopys pearls of wisdom.

“no doubt you think they are Communists like the rest of the little far right Lloyds clique”

That's funny Loopy, and there was me thinking that we're all fascist.

“and you still call for even more reduction in government spending”

And there was me thinking that you're continually moaning about government debt.

Make your mind up Loopy, you can't have it both ways.

Moaning about 14 years and now want to borrow more, especially with no growth.

“whist 95% of the world struggle to feed themselves and get treatment when they're ill.”

You get healthcare, supposably free at the point of access, Loopy. What you are saying is like believing if we get to net zero (some chance) the rest of the world will benefit.

I bet you're a Milliband supporter.

Loopys gonna save the world.

Oxymoron or what, more like a moron.
