Things must be bad for Starmer. He's having to initiate the "Zelenskyy" emergency meeting/phone call procedure already.

P&O Ferries’ owner pulls news of £1bn port investment after ministers criticise firm. Another cock-up by Transport minister Louise Haigh.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... icise-firm

The announcement of plans by DP World to expand its London Gateway port was due to be a key part of the Labour government’s investment summit on Monday. The event, a showpiece to attract foreign money to the UK, was expected to be attended by Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves.

Labour thinking of giving fat jabs to the unemployed, so that they lose the flab and get back to work.

Not much to be against with this, surely?

Is there a link between being a fatty and being less employable?

Encourage healthy eating would be better unless they want to inject people then like Covid jabs, people later claim reactions to the jabs. Just eat less move more ffs.

You see the crap people eat at football matches? Including our ground! And NT wonders why people don’t want to eat there? Far better stuff nearby

All this Labour rah rah rah stuff getting sort of quiet on here and the budget hasn’t been unveiled yet.

Infighting, sackings, and the impossibility of ever getting a question answered. The shambles just keeps rolling on.

Yeah frustrating when you ask questions and they get avoided because of one agenda or another.

So, who did you vote for again?

Labour minister responsible for building security and the response to Grenfell receives thousands in freebies from the company that used flammable insulation at Grenfell tower and faked safety tests to get it approved

I’ve no idea who else there is within the ranks but Starmers time has to be up. This shambles can’t go on.

Excellent. With all the banged up dealers getting out we could see turf wars and some cheaper sniff. Thanks Kier!

Keir Starmer “shares the public’s anger” at the sight of prisoners being released early today"
Keir Starmer's policies are now so wildly unpopular, that even Keir Starmer is outraged by them.

Nearly 100 Labour staffers have headed over to the US on a purely voluntary basis to help the Kamala Harris presidential campaign (which isn't going well any more). Not sure why this is a problem as Starmer has said they're doing it in their free time and it's not against the law but Trump has complained about it, describing Labour as a "far-left" party.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62m2pde4p6o

Meanwhile, Wes Streeting's partner has been given a cushy £100k+ job as executive director of policy and communications in a "jobs for the boyfriend" move. He joins a number of familial connections who have secured places in Labour’s top ranks, and some party members have privately questioned his relevant experience.

I wonder if Donald realises that strange frog bloke that keeps popping up when he’s out and about is an actual MP from the UK.

I doubt The Donald gives any thought to the strange frog bloke.

That's pretty stupid of Labour to be displaying such preferences prior to an election where there's a decent chance Trump could win.
