What would you do Zack?

He was played by the media, believing he was the Messiah.

John hates Keir and is happier in opposition than government. He always lets perfect be the enemy of the good.

We don't all see Burnham as the Messiah in Labour. The man is on an ego trip. The government doesn't need months of will he won't be, there is a country to try and turn around.

Really so weeks of will be won't he over Andy won't harm him. It's all we will hear for weeks rather than what is being achieved.

He isn't seen as the Messiah by all of us in Labour. We need a period of stability as things are slowly improving. Starmer has had a very good week, although you wouldn't know it by the press.

There is nothing I would love more than for Keir Starmer to tell Trump to f off. However it would appear that he took the right approach as Trump has backed down without us having to suffer any consequences. Being in government/diplomacy isn't always easy or comfortable.

Is he popular?

To be fair he was Reform before Reform even existed.

The media is trying very hard to make her look credible

And when our economy nose dives are you happy to share the blame

So why has she joined a party that doesn't

That's not what I'm reading.

I'm not starting until the 5th of January, when I'm back at work.

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy New Year. May 2026 be kind to you, bring peace, opportunity, and renewed optimism. Here’s hoping the year ahead moves us toward greater understanding, compassion, and a more outward-looking, positive future for us all.

I engage my brain and listen to the message. We aren't all performers

Then the fault is with you. Someone's tone of voice is irrelevant to their intent and purpose.

It shouldn't matter, we don't need entertaining. It's the message that matters

I oppose genocide but don't support Palestinian Action.

My own experience on a jury seriously knocked my confidence in British justice.

I'm not really sure why everyone seems to have such faith in juries. The British public voted for Brexit, Reform are leading in the polls. Do you really want these people deciding on your guilt or innocence.

My only experience of jury service was shocking. The prejudice on display from a number of the jurers was disgusting. Their words - no matter the evidence, you have to support your own. I reported them but nothing happened as it was my word against theirs. They made other jurers very uncomfortable.

I have been part of a jury and it shocked me. The case was a white man against an Asian man. Two white men on the jury said loud and proud 'we have to stick with our own, no matter the facts'. I no longer believe in the jury system.

The thing is that isn't what they were protesting, they deliberately conflated 2 issues. They were protesting Palestinian Action being prescribed as a terrorist group. It isn't illegal to march in support of Palestine.

They aren't allowed to apparently. Something to do with it being produced under another govt who didn't release it.

Sorry to say I just turned off, just can't keep listening to the negativity.

Our media relish in telling us we are in a crisis and broken. They hate the current government. Things are definitely tough but the current government is making decisions for the long term good. And on the international stage Starmer is impressive.

I don't wear a Poppy. I buy one every year but never wear it. Does that make me a bad person.

You can be black and have Anglo Saxon heritage. Has he not heard of mixed race families.

They could have the best Comms team in the world, but if the media won't report it or are only interested in spinning and gotchas then there is nothing they can do.
