What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

If it is a coalition of those already within the political class in this country I do not think so.

The 2 party majority is done for that's certain. Reform have decimated the Tory base and Labours shift to the right has upset a lot of their lefty voters.

Maybe we should declare some sort of state of emergency for a fixed term. Concentrate on domestic issues and put the barriers up with regard to immigration etc... put up signs saying "sorry full up, come back in two years". Get the drain on our resources sorted and get the country pulling in the same direction.

Put the foot on the ball and look around and adjust our tactics.

Starmer strikes me as a good Chairman and Sunak was a far superior Chancellor compared to Reeves.

We could have a game proposing the new non-party government

Immigration isn't a "drain on our resources".

Some immigration absolutely is

Apparently according to some (who clearly have their head in the sand) it has no impact on housing. Try and figure that out.

And funding overseas wars

"Some" parts of everything are a drain on resources. But overall, immigrants put more in than they take out. An uncomfortable fact for those who have been whipped into a frenzy by all the small boat propaganda.

We're in a cycle that needs breaking

More people = more houses = more hospitals = more schools = more, more, more

Need to stop feeding the fire

I had a theory about this. If, say, Andy Burnham stood as an Independent and no party had an overall majority. Could an independent become PM? I’ve used Burnham because with this current crop of politicians, I believe he is one who could unite the country. 
A lot could happen in 4 years of course. (Or two if you believe Farage)

Only acceptable if we create a "war tax" as for instance in WW1... then you will see how much Joe Public wants to intervene

👏 👏👏👏

If only.

Hes genuinely the only one out there that seems to have the right combination of balance, calmness and quality. Not perfect, but I’d absolutely be behind him.

Ended up having a beer with Andy Burnham a couple of weeks back. Quite a nice bloke, we didn’t speak politics though so that’s probably why.

We most certainly will. She can't 'super tax' the 'super rich' she's already driven out so who do you think she'll turn to? Be afraid.

Why are the “super rich” leaving again?

It was all about centralistion of power by New Labour and has resulted in a big pumped up Westminster bubble with the associated disconnection with the hoi polloi we see now

 

It always is with Labour. It always is with the EU.

They will try and paint a different picture. It is what they do. You are spot on mate - she is a repulsive specimen. Now Rachel Reeves seems like a nice lass - just way, way out of her depth.

SKS will find another 'non threat' to sit by him.

The Conservatives being a bunch of self-serving cunts in government doesn't change how much of an abysmal mistake this was. All that about 'one rule for them, one for us' and 'tax avoidance costs lives' it's actually incredible that she's gone this way.

Tawdry scum. The perfect title for her.

Was he really though. Or did he just give everyone a load of free money during COVID?

Bolty is cracking value. Obvious as usual.
