The lesson is watch what politicians do, not what they say. It's clearly Tory policy to feck the NHS.

On the back of the 2008 crash, which effectively happened because of Thatcher's banking reforms, you'd expect massive underfunding.

But it ain't really changing under Starmer. Not really.

NI talks: DUP rules out pre-Christmas Stormont deal

Parties resume talks but with the DUP saying no deal is imminent, progress seems to have stalled.

www.bbc.co.uk

I'm sure there are many legal and technical reasons why this can't be done but isn't it about time to change the system, in essence allow those who want to turn up and vote to actually do so without one party of another stopping the whole process.

They would rather be kingmakers in London when votes are tight than 2nd player in NI

PPE bollocks.

Prison, for the lot of them.

...and I wouldn't really that bothered if we made a special case for hanging, either.

At least, confiscation of ALL assets, redistributed to the NHS.

That Michelle Mone interview really wasn't going to ever help, it's a bad case of the prince Andrew's.

I wonder if she threatened journalists with legal action for reporting the truth, to "protect her family".

To be fair, I would like to see if they actually delivered what was ordered. Because if they did, it would show that this government has yet again fucked up.

Oh, they didn't fuck up. This was entirely deliberate.

Oh looks like that backfired? Not going down alone?

They're all fucking corrupt bastards.

I seen them post this a day or two ago, looks like they've had a massive backlash against it and subsequently deleted the post.

It's because there was a "Network North" logo at the bottom of the image (not visible in the above screenshot) and there was understandably confusion, anger and laughter in equal measure at the thought of money saved by axing HS2 - earmarked to great fanfare for spending on improving infrastructure up north - being used to fill in pot holes in London.

lol - how fucking tone deaf is that

 

[Tom]

Using capital funding on a maintenance programme. What a load of twats.

HS2 would significantly reduce the roads maintenance budget. But these people are a load of fucking wankers without a clue.

I like to think that the blokes on the ad are northerners, tugging their forelocks, and coming down south to repair the roads of their betters.

"No sir, we're dead chuffed to fix yer roads. We don't need owt ourselves sir. We gorra new tin bath last year. That's more'un we could've 'oped for sir."

They are probably on their way to Rwanda by now

Shops will be getting smashed up by the end of Jan.

I would not be in the least bit surprised if the Tories used a public uprising as a reason to delay the election, that even the most deluded of Tories now knows, will be a complete failure, that will likely lead to the party splitting down the middle.

Looks like they are more likely to bring it forward to avoid even more bad news being hung round their necks.

Sunak says he wants to reduce workers’ taxes this year and may cut benefits

PM sets up possibility of income tax coming down in March and says control of welfare is a priority

Well didn't that number of people signed off increase with the expanding NHS waiting list, also it might have something to do with the government excuse of COVID.

I've noticed shit rags have stepped up the Starmer smears in the last few days, you can always tell when there is an election getting closer because they always smear the party that doesn't financially benefit them the most.

Don't know why they're smears. Starmer's backtracked on everything that got him elected. He's a Tory:

Starmer denies backtracking on military action vote

While running to be Labour leader, Sir Keir promised a law requiring a Commons vote for military action.

www.bbc.co.uk

Four years ago, when campaigning to be leader, Sir Keir said he wanted a new law "that said military action could be taken if first the lawful case for it was made, secondly there was a viable objective and thirdly you got the consent of the Commons".

Could easily have applied to the airstrikes.

1) Convene Parliament
2) Set case
3) Vote

If the legal position is as cut and dry as everyone's saying then it could easily be done in less than 24 hours. The case for airstrikes would require limited discussion.

Frankly, if we'd put it in front of parliament, there'd have been a good chance that they'd have voted not to airstrike. Optics alone has made it a poor decision, never mind the fact that it's unlikely to yeild any tangible results.

Yeah, Twitter. Stop whining.

This is a long thread but since Dan Neidle has been recently the target of Michelle Mone's ire (she called him creepy captain tax and things), it's fucking fascinating:

It's worth reading because her and her husband might eventually get completely fucked over.
