Has he claimed to vote Labour previously? He's certainly kept that quiet.
You both have.
I’ve voted Labour often. But jeez, what a shambles this lot is. I struggle to believe anything they say. Even accepting they are politicians. Their actions are something else.
Just be honest. You and the truth are far from comfortable bedfellows.

Great to see the insulting behaviour is alive and well with those lacking. Excuse me if I don’t indulge you.

The Tories need to take responsibility for their mistakes of which there were many. Labour need to own their choices. A Tory budget would have been very different to the Labour one. Down to Labour, no one else. They succeed or fail on what they choose to do.
Old age must be playing with his mind.
Forgotten the RBS Crisis?

Remember it well. RBS were a major customer of the company I worked for. I recall Brown talking endlessly about a global issue in general when the crash happened. To a degree correct. But what’s good for the goose. Covid, Ukraine, Gaza are equally global. So not only did the Tories have to deal with the mess they inherited, they negotiated Brexit and then had to deal with a string of damaging global issues. So it’s not me whose memory has issues.

As do schoolchildren. Ever been on a bus when the school is emptying? Makes you wonder if the parents are teaching their offspring anything. Wonder if the schools would be interested in footage.
No, school kids do not get free bus travel as a rule.
Bus Companies film everybody as to council cctv ; cameras everywhere.

Talking costs resulting from global and local issues. Costs that impact ultimately on funds available to Governments. When looking at such things it’s important not only to look at the issues but their impact financially - directly and indirectly.

Costs are fine. Stealing Billions isn't, but that's a Tory issue

How can Sainsbury’s expect to be able to absorb this £140m additional cost when they only make - checks notes - £30 billion per year?
Oh man. Did you just confuse revenue with profits?

This one's going on the spreadsheet.

Lammy is going to Lammy. But Starmer needs to deal with the fact that appointing Lammy to the role, because of the reasons, is no longer justifiable.
