There's a bit of a hangover from Corybn it seems, but I'm not sure. As you say very strange but I'm fully behind Reeves on it. Her inviceration of Corybn on the News Agents was quite the listen. Basically, he's not getting the whip back, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Any decent pension fund would have done the same. Lots of economists at the time saying that profits were to be made. The point is Rachel Reeves didn’t have a clue what was going on (or she was telling lies) and she could be our next chancellor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another gormless bint who spends most of her time at the hairdressing salon. Another nasty tongued Labourite who engages gob before brain. Before the anti misogyny brigade get on their high horses, nowt to do with gender. She's just (to quote Kent) a bit thick. I would be very happy for the UK to be led by a woman again.

Hmmmm. Now come on BB, that's a pretty myopic view, let's not play to the gallery now. Or rather if you like a daft bint/slag/at the hairdressers type of post you go ahead. Maybe you'd best getting out the crayons again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a Chancellor in waiting and she posts nonsense like that. She is supposedly one of the better ones in Labour. Doesn’t say much about the rest.

Farrelli Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 BB seems to be getting desperate. We have a government that has run down every public service (NHS, Police, prisons,) to breaking point over 13 years. Who also allowed millions of PPE money to be corruptly taken by their donors and friends. Had a chancellor who owed 4 million in taxes. Had a PM that frequently broke his own lockdown rules and allowed parties in Downing Street and then lied to parliament for months. Another PM lasted a few weeks after an inept budget proposed giving tax breaks to the wealthiest during a cost of living crisis. Delivered a brexit deal that has created chaos for small businesses and reduced our GDP. And on it goes. What Rachel Reeves did was tweet the worst case scenario for the BoE bail out (5 billion per day for 13 days) which never came to pass fortunately. It is not remotely comparable to the Tories list of lies and corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted February 11, 2023 Members Share Posted February 11, 2023 It's not difficult to understand the grievance felt in Bolton North East when the chair of Labour North West fails to make the shortlist for the seat, especially given Starmer's pledge to NEC impositions of candidates I don't agree with Leigh Drennan politically but it can't be denied he had a very strong case for selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was talking past tense. It had to be pointed out to her. She said it was tax payers money, it wasn’t. It had to be pointed out to her. You and others on here jumped on the 65 billion quote. Some even typed it vertically for effect, until it was pointed out to them. Edited February 11, 2023 by BobyBrno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, from the BOE funds not taxpayers money. It was said that it would likely be much less than that but was ingnored. It was as you say, billions not millions.

I think it was more about the panic that “budget” created with its naivety, and the ensuing need for the bank to step in at all that got people a bit triggered. It’s worth remembering the effect that budget had on the pound at the time. Hindsight isn’t available when you really need it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
