Spot on

 We’d all have been working today if not for unions. Those lefty numpties making the world a better place.

I give £15.99 to mine each month. In past few years they’ve fought for a pay rise & campaigned against workload & violence in schools.

 We’re on the cusp of getting the 1.5 extra hours non contact teaching time per week. Something the SNP promised a decade ago. Will make the job much more manageable if achieved.

Not perfect,  & I’ve always wanted the fight to be for better conditions over pay, but we’d all be fucked without them. 
 

Hang on mate.....why didn't the all screaming/dancing/singing SNP follow up on their promises from a decade ago 🤔 

I'll now expect a War and Peace style reply 😘 

PS - Am with Humza Yousaf and Chris Stephens tomorrow for the Remembrance service in Nitshill, will ask them instead, might be a shorter explanation 😉

This will be interesting

All just words for now. But if it’s a route we go down then it could be enough to keep Reform out. 

 

Mahmood appears to be extremely capable... I like her, she must frighten Starmer to death

Kinell, he's underfunding public services according to her.

To borrow a phrase from elsewhere, is she fucking thick?

I'll say one thing for him- he at least realises we have to try to bring debt down (at least I think he does), but he can't find a way of keeping his lot on side to achieve it.

If he is somehow replaced by an even more socialist type, then it's definitely cap in hand to the IMF time. 

Spacktivist. Ignore them. I do.

I thought he was just quietly getting things done.

He's smashed the gangs quietly hasn't he? I haven't heard a thing.

Nowt wrong with Unions if they do what they are supposed to do and cease being political malfeasants. This will never happen.

Abolish them (along with religion).

 16 quid a month. The union leadership must love him and others who finance their luxurious lifestyle.

Despite being boring and getting things done ... Hasn't he been given the worst Prime Minister in modern history award?

Imagine if he'd had a global pandemic to deal with or a new European war between Russian and Ukraine. Add Brexit to the list too.

He must be really shit at his job.

But the tories were shit apparently. 

I must say though ... My life hasn't changed one bit since labour took over. They've been in wales for ehat seems forever.

And I don't think it'll change much when Reform batter everyone. According to some it will ... I guess we'll see.

Just words so far.

She will be alienating the lefty section of her party with these comments.

I said previously, that one of her speeches seemed like a push for future leadership, but she would need to be elected, than somehow get her party on side.

Only way that happens is from very strong leadership, and kicking out shit stirrers and those unwilling to go along with her.

Simply can't see it, even if she is genuine and tries.

So nobody can answer the question.

Well, not without getting themselves into a bit of a doom loop.

Thought not.

Happy Remembrance Day chaps.

Spactivist is a great slur

And full marks for doing so.

To date he appears to have appointed too many sycophants.

I like to have people who frighten me in my teams, keeps me on my toes.

Director General and CEO of BBC News gone

That Trump thing was shocking to be fair. You can't be doing that. 

And it's not like he doesn't say enough bonkers stuff anyway!

Think it was the ceo who sent an email to staff essentially dismissing the panorama controversy. 

Situation has become untenable for those at the top- they failed to get a grip- but there is clearly a lot of work to do. These top bods aren't making the programs etc.

Absolutely. 

Report the whole thing accurately and let folk make their own mind up.

Don't give him any ammunition for deflection.

Totally agree fella

Just wish Starmer had some balls and got rid of his septic ministers 😉 

[miamiwhite]

That aged well....i wonder if those who slagged off Trump on that day for "his words" have the balls to come on and apologise for what our trusted national broadcaster clearly misled folk with ?
