Interest rates are falling.

Real wages are improving.

And the U.K. is the fastest growing of the wealthiest countries in Europe.

Step by step, we’re getting our economy back on track.

“There's more to do, but our economic plan is the right one” says Chancellor Rachel Reeves

You mean ‘best ever recorded’?

You’re welcome.

UK government borrowing costs are down, I haven't seen this mentioned on the BBC News www.marketwatch.com/investing/bo...

So Robert Jenrick, referring to Starmer on BBC Question Time, says he won’t take lectures from people who thought Mandleson would be a good U.S. Ambassador!

Reform, Advance and Restore.
It’s no coincidence that political parties, that are aimed at impotent middle age men, have names that sound like brands for erectile disfunction pills and baldness cures.

“But what does this mean for Keir Starmer’s leadership?”

There is a clear centre right space in British politics focused on growth, competence and responsible government.

Prosper UK will be out across the country, listening to voters and businesses.

Prosper UK supporters are being drawn to a pragmatic centre-right offer focused on growth, enterprise, jobs and opportunity.

They come from across the political spectrum, reflecting a clear gap in UK politics and a common view that the current debate isn’t delivering.

In just two weeks, 17,000 people across the UK have signed up to support Prosper UK.

That level of early momentum tells you something important is happening.

When we launched, polling showed 7 million centre and centre-right voters feel politically homeless.

Lost my phone in London, with four credit cards and £150 cash in the case. Returned to me within 21 minutes. This hellhole of a city eh.

Tice is particularly slow-witted, even for a Reform adherent. He's not a real businessman or entrepreneur, just poses as one = he's a mere rentier, a property parasite sitting atop a property empire he inherited from his family.

Generally fascinating set of polls that give me some hope. I will just say that it's notable to me that Labour voters see Reform as more of an existential threat than Tories do, with around 30% of Lab voters willing to vote Tory over reform but only 10% of Tories willing to do the same for Labour.

Do you only ever think in straight lines ?

Sundowning, or sundown syndrome, refers to a set of symptoms—including increased confusion, anxiety, agitation, and restlessness—that occur in people with dementia, usually in the late afternoon and evening. It is not a disease itself, but a symptom of dementia, most common in middle-to-late stages.

I broadly agree with Mimi about the public, but the Mandelson 'scandal' was easily one of Starmer's worst moments, yet his favourability has gone up!

However, when he's improving our global relations, his rating is through the floor.

Morons, we're surrounded by morons.

‘Jellyfish’ and ‘doormat’: why is Keir Starmer so deeply unpopular?
