He bullies the actual government.

How can a manifesto promise to do something immediately still be on track nearly a year and a half after the election?

I usually rate full fact but this looks like it was knocked together by the intern.

Cool, looking forward to Labour doing all the things their leader indicated in his leadership bid.

To be fair it's probably not just all about the Greens, being humiliated by Plaid in Wales might also have been a factor.

Shorts are a perennial attire in the North.

As it should be.

Anything to do with recent polls showing the Greens beating Labour I wonder?

I'm not complaining, I would rather they be pushed left than continue to be Temu Reform.

Maybe they could try stopping persecuting the disabled, trans people and immigrants next.

Not that there is anything wrong with your teeth but it's typically tone deaf for the people responsible (either by policy or support) for the near demise of NHS dentistry to go after someone's teeth.

If we stopped letting men vote we wouldn’t have to worry as much about the last one.

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

State support for UK banks

Bailouts: Govts found Β£1162bn (Β£133bn cash+Β£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
Β£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
Β£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
Β£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England

Who else gets this level of state support?

Lol @ Goodwin - poor lad appears to be struck constipated as he briefly has a vision of his grift running dry.

They are a third of the way into a term with a huge majority and have achieved very little of note except to spectacularly squander the political goodwill they had.

I find that depressing given the very real potential of a terrible alternative but of course, I'm just being childish.

They aren’t gagging to be called racist they are confident they won't be because they have fooled people into believing that calling out racism is somehow playing into their hands.

An effective double bluff from the racists.

Or what? If you had a plethora of solid policies to choose from you wouldn't have had to choose a continuation Tory policy.

Extra school meals is a solid policy but my point is that they are few and far between, the polls seem to suggest I'm not alone in feeling frustrated at the lack of ambition.

A 3p higher rise for apprentices and 16-17 year olds than they got last April under the Tories.

The fact that this is trumpeted as a Labour β€˜win’ says all we need to know about the present Labour government.

Could it be possible that they are both incompetent?

I hope Caerphilly’s many multi-millionaires enjoy their tax breaks.

Tbf it’s probably a bit complicated for the majority of them.

Maybe Zia should go to Chicago and ask around, see if many people there agree with him.

I'm not sure that the threat of a fine would bother him much.

They will be the type of racists that say they can't be racist as they have a mate who is black (they probably say coloured though).

I really dislike the narrative that the electorate doesn't know their own minds and therefore should never have to take accountability for the consequences of their votes.

40% of over 65s voted to remain and they had exactly the same access to information as β€˜Bert’ (or anyone else) did.

09.10.2025 18:36 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

To be fair the over 65s did have the highest percentage leave vote.

But anyone over 40 (at the time) can take some blame too.

It’s absolutely valid for the younger generations to call us out on it.
