Seems like Two Tier is keen to emulate the Boris style of leadership where he “stands by” his ministers when it’s clear their position is untenable, allow a week of bad press to damage the party then they resign (get sacked) anyway

I especially like the way he copied Boris, by sending out one of his Ministers to do the press round and defend her, only to pull this off in the afternoon.

All sorted. Get the flags flying and the bells ringing. The carnage is over.

Ideological fiscal decisions rarely bear fruit
This current Government have targeted any and all firms of aspiration. Who would want to build up or develop their own business in this atmosphere of encouraging sloth and laziness rather than honest graft. Giving role employment rights from dry one is insane - why would any business owner want to risk their capital on recruits who cannot be dismissed if found to be crap?
Why would any business want to risk telling on staff when NI contributions are so stiflingly high - on top of unfair business rates and now a shameful raid on pension funds built up by those who have worked hard and made sacrifices to take care of their futures?
Starmer is an oaf.

Max runs a transportation company so I think he’s well placed to comment on employment law

What have you done business wise recently?

[Max B Gold]

You left out the FACT that I'm also a barrack room lawyer.

So Yvette Cooper has announced five local inquiries into Pakistani rape gangs (the scandal covers fifty boroughs) instead of a national independent inquiry

This is going to be a another case of dragging out doing the thing that needs to be done and getting weeks worth of bad headlines in the process

.... before finally backing down and actually doing it anyway.

A judge has strongly criticised social services and the police for failing vulnerable young girls who fell victim to sexual exploitation by Asian grooming gangs

Same story as reported in over 50 other towns and cities, but not considered worthy of a full enquiry.

Also, the term "Asian grooming gangs" is racist. It lazily implies that this is an issue which all Asians are complicit.

Unlike many fellow lefties, I genuinely wish the Starmer government to succeed. Mainly because I think the alternative could be far worse.

But the decision to appoint Mandelson as ambassador to the US was so obviously stupid, that he deserves to be humiliated.

This is where your thinking fails.

Starmers Government is just a continuation of what has gone before. It is therefore guaranteed to fail. And will absolutely lead to the alternative you (and your fellow lefties) fear becoming a reality.

We needed to do things a different way - something we all know isnt possible - to prevent what is coming.

[Currywurst and Chips]

Liz Truss agrees

[Dunners]

"we need to take on mis&disinformation"

How? If a full, open, national enquiry into the systematic failure to detect and prevent the mass sexual exploitation of children is not allowed, then how?

[Long slender neck]

Not sure what years long inquiries into sexual abuse has to do with misinformation.

Governments need to take on the tech bros.

Hasn’t there already been an Inquiry and weren’t there a number of actions from this Inquiry? I understand the Tories failed to carry out any of the actions and that’s the big problem here.

Yes & was pointed out here by comedian JP.
He also slated the x/Twitter mob who were pushing far right agenda

There have been local enquiries into different, but related, issues. And, yes, the Tories did fail to implement those recommendations.

There has not been a full and open enquiry looking at why there appears to have been systematic failure of local authorities, local police forces, social services and other agencies to act in a way they should have, in instances in over 50 towns where men of Pakistani origin have targeted underage white girls.

This is what the survivors are asking for.

Why does it have to be years long? Labour managed to wrap up the Steven Lawrence enquiry within 18 months.

[Dunners]

17 - A full public enquiry, as requested by victims, could explore whether there was any basis to the above claims, identify where failings have occurred, and propose recommendations for justice and improvements. If these claims were proven to be incorrect then, while it may not stop the far right from spreading lies, it would mean everyone else could be informed. It would also close down any information vacuum which, as we know from certain other topics, the far right are skilled at exploiting.
