Someone ought to remind the labour party those other political parties represent 66.3% of the population; the largest opposition representation in the entire history of British representative democracy.

>Well regulated capitalism

that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

can anyone in the press explain to me why it's the position of the UK government that you can be arrested for holding a sign in support of 1 proscribed group, but you openly coordinate and co-operate with other proscribed terror groups, you are suited to be this govt's nat'l Security Advisr?

1) His job was at one time to dig up dirt, pass it on to the media, and let his boss call for the resignation or sacking of the offending party.

2) hard pressed to believe they would be so forgiven if the comments were about a woman they liked: Claire Reynolds, Jill Cuthbertson, et al.

He saw no issue of appointing Mandelson to the post in the full knowledge he went to stay at Epstein's Manhattan home whilst the man himself was serving a prison sentence for child prostitution charges...

What was a birthday card going to do?

defending McSweeny so vigorously and failing to back Reeves half as much will not play well to many.

Someone really ought to have told him this before he decided to give this "British Cars for British Workers" speech in a factory owned by an Indian Multinational company.

HMP Millsike is a Cat C prison, presumably Glasgow will be providing the same role as Barlinnie, in being able to hold more serious offenders.

more serious offenders = more serious security, more solitary rooms, more single occupant cells.

This is the same multimillionaire who postponed his wedding so that he could continue to receive EIS tax relief?

Newer models. older models you would be given your own remote monitoring device to connect to your pacemaker and send data to manufacturer and doctor, but some people grow complacent and doctors give up pursuing patients to do it.

Worth noting that Trump just confirmed this at Andews. he admitted that even if Zelenskyy agreed to the US mineral deal, he would still not permit Ukraine to keep fighting.

For all the talk of Trump being chamberlain-esque, Starmer's approach to Trump appears to be its own form of Appeasement.

Which cabinet minister will be forced on to National TV and radio on sunday morning to defend the PM's impotence.

Looks like not just every European leader, but every British political podcast, will have something to say on today's events before the Prime Minster.

I love that you can see just how her mind works

1 minute before reply No. 1: "I don't know perhaps its a little too-antisemitic, better tone it down a little bit and blame it on the lefties".

1 minute before reply No. 2: "I don't know, Fuck dem Jews."

But you reconigse we aren't actually opposing fascists... we're letting the ukranians do that alone. 10,000s of ukranians dead, meanwhile we cheer on from the sidelines - our day to day life's virtually unaffected by the war.

135 years on, the US looks set to try out "Remember the Maine!" all over again.

"This is not Rwanda... But if it were, it would still be a safe enough country to send refugees" is presumably the full quote at the end.
January 22, 2025 at 7:56 PM
what gives you that idea? The fact he has had to resign twice for his corrupt acts, or the fact he had the intelligence to stay in the home of pedophile who was serving out a sentence for procuring a child prostitute?

Oh yes... nothing here to suggest this won't end in humiliation...

As much as I'd which for them to be robust, manifestos do not cover every single issue and labour said NOTHING to contradict it's well set out beleive that WASPI women deserved what they were owed.
December 18, 2024 at 10:24 AM
A fair solution would the the one the govt tasked an independent watchdog to draw up.

I'm not the largest supported of the WASPI cause, but the govt is clearly wrong here.
December 17, 2024 at 2:20 PM
... so that was a lie.

They are half-right.

you are supposed to cut a couple cm off the bottom of the tree, place in in a bucket of water and leave it for up to 2 days in a cool room. that way the dry humidity of your average living room wont instantly wilt it.

Brilliant article from September addressing the growing rumors of such a scenario, and detailing the several moves the Govt have been taking over the past months and years to prepare the military for a coup.
