“(will Labour fold, in giving junior doctors a substantial rise?).”

Probably not necessary Lti as they have as good as admitted it was political.

So a compromise will be much easier now. Watch how labour/Streeting milk the agreement when it comes!

Just saying.

“Lloyds Banking Group is Cheap as Chips :)”

Don't run yourself down Chips, there's plenty on this BB will do that for you. 🙂

Just like education education education. The drumming down of standards to meet targets and the shouldering the young with massive debt and useless degrees.

A bit early to say Britain is one of the most stable countries to invest in, you've only been elected for three days and taking the credit already.

There will be plenty of time for political turmoil here as your controlling policy's unravel (when you eventually think of them).

Vote change and get more Blair, starting with his former advisor's.

Watch this space for more copy and paste articles from the BBC and guardian submitted by the lefty's on this BB.

FTSE subdued this morning.

"The good thing about buying gold Sovereigns is that that you don’t pay CGT on them when you sell them."

Well not yet but that maybe about to change.

Change, I've been hearing that word a lot recently but I think they will quickly find a lot of what they can't do.

The old lefty's on this BB are getting tetchy already, it seems they can give it but can't take it.

Well get used to it because it'll keep coming with this lot of jokers in power. They've only had one cabinet meeting just to get acquainted with the layout of no,s 10 and 11. Principally to show them where the back door is instead of running the gauntlet out front. Even they know what's coming.

How long before the first crisis?

Lammy.

Here he is in action.

“Top tip, hire a limo to drop you off in future lol.”

Yeah Lammy, who failed twice to gain entry into the Bilderberg meeting. They kept him quiet during the run up to this election.

And there's poor ol' Emily Thornberry, who has been overlooked. She, with the aversion to the flag of St George and white van man. Instead we get the new Attorney General and a contentious choice, is a former donor to Starmer's campaign and human rights lawyer Richard Hermer KC. Another one with dubious thoughts and views through his various publications on Israel’s occupation and right to exist, not to mention his associates.

As they are now, in public service they are all fair game and their past will be under scrutiny.

Biden says he'll work with Starmer, he wants closer ties with the UK. That would be a sight watching those two performing together.

Biden with his earpiece getting instructions and Starmer with his prepared notes on what to say. Just like his acceptance speech outside no 10 yesterday. He spent more time looking at the statement, (head like a nodding donkey) like that came from the heart.

Neither of them can speak naturally on most subjects when confronted publicly and ‘put on the spot.’

“Rachel Reeves has issued a damning assessment of the state of the UK’s finances.”

She's already started. Brace yourselves the party is nearly over.

“Labour may have to hike inheritance tax hikes or raid pensions in future, a new tax adviser to Rachel Reeves has admitted.”

"Has Starmer finished for the weekend yet?"

Top post or the day. 👍

“WELCOME SIR KEIR

WE NEED YOUR STABILITY”

Nearly choked on my cornflakes.

Part time PM.

Starmer’s 6 o'clock finish on a Friday for family time and an evening meal isn't being received too well. They're backpedalling like mad at labour HQ.

Of course he'll be on hand to deal with urgent matters…. just as soon as he's finished dessert and had a little nap. 😴

Meanwhile the workers must clamber for every hour.

Which brings us nicely to a Thomas Sowell quote regarding all these changes they keep talking about.

“People who talk incessantly about “change” are often dogmatically set in their ways. They want to change other people.”

You've been warned!

DCB, you're not two faced, you're fifty faced.

“This mean the number of pensioners paying income tax has risen by 42pc since the Tories came to power”

People, yes, pensioners, not so much Gunsup. But those that are as I said, are doing great, because its not pension money that is the cause.

Perhaps they are all working pensioners. 😊

"During the Tories’ 14 years in office, an extra 2.5 million pensioners have been dragged into the tax net. This mean the number of pensioners paying income tax has risen by 42pc since the Tories came to power"

Its not because of the rise in pension's Gunsup.

To me it shows that pensioners are being more responsible and getting richer.

Surely that's a good thing also.

And you don't think government policy has an effect on LBG livestock?

Livestock.

We were all waiting.

What happened to the usual AML updates here?

UK GDP + O.7%.

2024, 1st quarter.

P1, I don't think peeps know the role that private schools play in the community. The support given to the public school sector in the use of their facilities etc. It's these schools that will suffer in more ways than one.

You're right MV, it's all the promises made at election time that's to blame for many of today's ills.

Believe it or not you can still bet on the date of the next election.

It’s apparently a sure thing and according to an hysterical media this is a crime. It isn’t for obvious commonsense reasons. No one has ever been prosecuted in these circumstances.
