Labour & Britain is in trouble. Milliband only there because the work he is doing is central to everything else & they dare not change him. They have already sidelined Rainer & Lammy. The current front bench is awful. I know Milliband wont do it as he refused the poison chalice before. Lammy then.

Have the Labour Party learned nothing from the Torys? If you remove a leader you need to somebody better. Streeting has already been promoted to the level of his incompetence; he has been hopeless as a Minister. The only Ministers who have impressed have been Lammy, Milliband and Raynor ;-)

LBC has stopped me posting because I added this on Facebook: 'Ha ha ha good. He is no longer the leader of the free world, he has been sidelined by all our allies. I found Trump's treason on Jan 7 offensive; he should be in jail. They didn't say, I just cant comment now.' LBC is pathetic ;-)

This is what happens when good politicians lose their spine and run away. Our best Government is now elsewhere as Lords, CEOs, back benches, media hosts and Mayors. We have two parliaments to fight this crisis and I can't see us surviving. What are you waiting for? No Confidence letters NOW ;-)

The authoritarian Starmer Government is appalling; along with the Badenoch Opposition we have the most authoritarian and ignorant administration in my lifetime. Anybody with any understanding & ability is sidelined (points at Raynor & Lammy with Milliband being barely tolerated). Replace them.

That would be a very bad idea & he couldnt win; the backlash would destroy him. He would face the best legal minds who would return to the live footage & show that if anything the BBC was being kind. I was listening live; it was total treason; he even refused to call in the National Guard. Jail him.

It most definitely was not; I was watching it live and on global reports and was appalled. Trump should have been jailed for life. Time the BBC got its spine back ;-)

It is telling that the BBC has been brought low by supposed misinformation about Trump. No that account was accurate; I was watching it live on global networks. It really was treason!!! He even refused to call the National Guard!!! BBC needs re-launching with new management.

Exactly; the BBC has to be neutral. It has recently become a dire collection of popularist drivel. I cant watch BBC news now; the bias is appalling. Each night I watch the headlines hoping for news important to Britain and some gormless report starts in front of the White House. WE ARE BRITISH!!!

Unless Britain takes a lead in instigating holistic management of this crisis, Climate is only one of the problems, we will be increasingly sidelined (we are too closely aligned with the US) whilst our CANZUK, Commonwealth & EU allies forge ahead. We cannot survive alone.

Will hold my opinion on this till I know more; none of my big hitters are there & I am cautious of anything involving Chris Packham who I consider as problematic as polluters & deniers to solutions. Where is Sir David King, the most respected voice in Britain? We have 2 parliaments to make a start.

There was no misinformation; I was watching this event live & saw many US , Canadian and independent reports that day & they were unanimous; this was the worst treason by any US official in history. He wouldn't even send in the National Guard. He shouldnt be in the White House he should be in jail.

Thank goodness he is gone; the bias has been appalling. I wish I could hope for something better but his influence will be right through the organisation. The decline in British newspapers has been stark but, the BBC claiming the high ground has been sickening. Trump appeasement is rife.

Elon Musk? Surely he can't be real? Bond villain? Most of media reports about him are pure AI & fiction ;-)

If you read my comments you would see why her aspirations were pathetic. They were divisive, us & them, instigating conflict and thus harming the very customers they serve whilst doing nothing to induce Government to improve their employment. I stand by the world pathetic.

I was a Excellence consultant to Blair's Cabinet Office improving Social Services. I audited West Country Employment Service for him. They were doing brilliantly; all their poor marks were due to Government Interference; that is not trusting them to do their work. Workers need empowerment.

Of course this is the reason for small boats; these people are running for their lives. UN agrees that global mass migration is becoming the norm as the tropical countries become deserts; the EU burned this year. We wont stop small boats so, we have to learn to deal with it. That is the shock.

I attended the Global Climate Conference middle of last month & the latest figures shocked everybody. The UN Sec-Gen agreed that global conflicts are being driven by this. Much of the world is becoming unlivable. We are very lucky living where we do but we import food; hence resilience need.

This. The climate tipped. By 2050 the City of London says that without action the annual disasters will reach £35Trillion. Why do you think China is spending more that the rest of the world combined on green tech? Hint, same as Milliband; we need control of energy. We need clean resilience.

Thank gawd; he will get a shock. The world has changed this Summer. Perhaps he'll finally understand what is important. We have two parliaments left to make a difference to this crisis. We are seeing the rise of a new world order & those who are not part of it will fall. The buffers now at 2035.

It is exactly the best analogy. Churchill was perfect for war time Britain; he would be next to useless facing the scientific challenges of this crisis. We need somebody perfect for this existential crisis who will take the problems by the scruff of the neck; not a bunch of lawyers & business men.

She is right; unfortunately hardly any MP in the House of Commons has the remotest idea what is right. I keep hoping a saviour will step forward, catch the public imagination 7 save Britain from being dragged into the abyss with America. Unfortunately a Churchillian figure is unlikely to emerge.

How pathetic. How about transforming the work place, improving how people work, strengthening the partnership with management and strengthening Britain. How brain dead do you have to be to base your actions on polarisation and increasing strikes. Absolutely useless. The word is UNION not DIVISION.
