Every now and then the govt has an amazing idea and proceeds to do the worst possible execution ever.

Other times it's just a shit idea.

The only Ice I know is water at a temperature below 0Β°.

Anything else that calls itself ice is a cheap copy and should be treated as such.

I've had a OMEN 15 laptop for years and it works like a dream.

That being said, it took so many hours to get there I wouldn't recommend anyone go through that pain.

280 characters isn't remotely close to what I would need to give a decent response, because you seem to have forgotten what your own thread says.

Also slightly unusual to restrict scrutinising Government policy to those who have access to confidential Treasury documents, i.e. those in Government.

It hasn't been able to specifically because of the money that was spent by other countries.

You're supporting stopping that flow of money. If the front lines don't receive funding, the front lines will be overrun.

Not entirely sure how else I can get you to grasp that.

If Ukraine falls, the rest of Europe will be the next target. NATO does not have the resources to push back a Russian invasion if America doesn't involve itself.

That's not a government lie, it's basic mathematics.

Labour has access to internal treasury numbers and calculators, you tell me.

My question was related to your statement earlier.

Given what we've discussed, if someone complains that Labour is sacrificing public services for Ukraine, are they right?

I'd start by clamping down on the thousands of shell corporations in and around London, and addressing the billions of pounds annually that find their way into their pockets of the upper classes.

I'm no economist, though, so what do I know?

Also, I'd appreciate an answer. Don't dodge questions.

So next time someone complains LAB is funding Ukraine instead of public services, they're..... right?

"LAB isn't sacrificing public service money, they're taking it from a fund used to fight climate change and improve public services"

Remind me, what was the point of making that thread?

So is climate and social spending being sacrificed for the war in Ukraine or not?

I fully support Ukrainian sovereignty etc etc etc -- the issue with with the inconsistency in your messaging.

That's exactly what's happening though, no? You said the NWF was previously set aside for climate funds and reinvesting into UK economic growth.

The scope was then expanded to include defense funding.

Or did I misread?
