The privileged old bastards in the HoL deserve slow, agonising deaths for filibustering the bill out of time.
Abolish the house of nutters and replace it with a much smaller, fully elected Senate.

Erm, why not simply rejoin the Customs Union and Single Market?

The speculation is mostly media driven. The right-wing media is a blot on the reputation of the UK. I hate it and have not used an MSM newspaper in all of my 60+ years.

Yes, fiscal rules are entirely dreamt up by the Chancellor and have no real value. This country has a FIAT currency, and the government could use the BoE to transform our society, but they are too timid.
Again, we should not be subservient to the bond markets. Let them whine and complain.

It's the Times, and which party do you think most Times readers support? It's almost certainly not Labour.

The government does not need to be subservient to the bond markets. Reeves might be because of her background, but Starmer is supposed to be in charge & can overrule her if he wants to.
He still has time to be more traditional Labour and enact some socialist policies. I hope he does.

I post that list every now and then, and people tell me that everything has changed & not to expect those things now.
But what is a pledge? It's a promise by another name, surely?
If Starmer actually believed those things, why had he abandoned them?

The fact that Farage is mentioned in those files so many times seems to have been ignored by the MSM.

Is what to claim for and what not to claim for, SO bloody complicated? If it's connected to your job, you can claim it. If it isn't, you can't.
It's not rocket science.

The media knows a huge amount of info on just about everything. It chooses what to show us, and that depends on its own agenda.

We need the UK media to report the unvarnished truth about Farage and his very murky past.
Currently, he's getting a much too easy ride from the MSM.

The sledgehammer was brought to the fighting by a security guard, I believe. He was disarmed, and it was then used against him.

Sounds great. But will such a government ever come to power? We haven't had one for something like 75 years. Blair's government was good, but not truly Labour, was it?

Labour needs to get back towards the ideas it was started for by trade unions. The current iteration is much too right-wing to be truly regarded as a Labour government.
