Not wanting to reduce politics to juvenile superficiality, but have you all noticed that on average the Tory women MPs are more attractive than their Labour counterparts? Could be a vote winner in 2029.

Got any evidence for that?

What sore of evidence do you want to see that he finds Tory lady MPs more attractive than Labour lady MPs?

I’ll be impressed if anyone can find more than 5 attractive MPs of either sex on either side of the aisle

Some things are beyond science & belong to universal truths. Beauty is objective.
Anyway, I was discussing it with my mates in the pub & we all agreed

Penny and her hair has been a serious loss on this front.

Latest poll (OK I know their value is limited) shows the current Government is less popular than the one it replaced. Wow, that takes some doing. And the Budget still to come. After this latest embarrassment perhaps the budget will be curbed a little. They gotta do something to halt the slide.

Subjective mate, beauty is subjective - you’re welcome.

Interesting. So you don’t think there are objective realities?

Reeves has dyed her hair ginger in solidarity with marginalised communities.

That’s what happens when you get a free keir-do, sorry Hair-do. Was the hairdresser a pensioner? Another poor cut.

What a shambles.

Keir Starmer has handed over the strategically important British overseas territory the Chagos Islands - where the military base on Diego Garcia is - to Mauritius. The controversial agreement will cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds and will see the UK paying Mauritius until as late as 2164.

It means that for the first time in more than 200 years, the sun will finally set on the British Empire. The location of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean meant that at any point of the day, at least part of Britain or its territories would be in daylight. When the islands are finally handed over, this will no longer be true.

Starmer has also evaded questions about whether the Falklands and Gibraltar are next.

“Strategically important”. Maybe in the 1800’s, but now? Don’t be so f*cking daft.

In what way were the Chagos Islands "strategically important" in the 1800s? Nothing much went on there then.

The government described Diego Garcia as "strategically significant" in their press release yesterday (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-m ... itary-base). Likewise the US government.

Are you saying the Labour government is "f*cking daft"?

LOL. Is everyone now going to get all argumentative over an island archipelago most, of not all, of you have never given a second's thought to in your lives?

And we're keeping the military base so haven't lost out strategically.

Doubts grow over Labour’s VAT plan for private schools - confusion over 1 January start date as unions, tax experts and school leaders say it is unworkable

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... te-schools

The Treasury on Saturday night refused to confirm that the plan to impose 20% VAT on private school fees would go ahead from 1 January, as confirmed by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in July, instead saying it would be introduced “as soon as possible”. Later, however, after publication of this story, the Treasury changed its line and said it was planning to stick by the 1 January deadline.

Some land thousands of miles away is only strategically important if you're an imperialist servant the empire.
