What government (apart from Sweden) didn't make many bad decisions then?

I guess most did, but some made more bad decisions than others.

Four years is a long time in politics. I think it unlikely given how things stand at the moment, but the Conservatives were riding high in 2019 and dead in the water by 2024.

I'm not standing up for the Tories, but they were unfortunate that COVID-19 came along in those years. They made many bad decisions, and that was probably their downfall. I don't think Labour would have done any better, with Starmer and his terrible shadow cabinet pushing for longer lockdowns. In fact, I think the Tories and Labour are the uniparty, and there is nothing much between them.

4 years is indeed a long time, and I fear, if there's not an early election, then Starmer will run the country in to the ground, judging by what he has done in his first 15 months in power.

then I don't see Labour winning the next election.

Labour hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell of winning the next election. Kier Starmer has made sure of that already. The Tories are finished too.

The labour government believes that people in third world countries can't possibly be expected to run their own countries and the UK has a special burden to deal with their mess....

The thing with Labour is they don't want to stop the boats, because they're depending on the Muslim vote for next general election. If the truth be known, the Muslims will probably ignore Labour and vote for their own Muslim candidates.

About 35,000.as of a month or so ago.

Ah, that old chestnut! Many of those were deported when the Torries were in power, some volunteered, others were paid to leave. The correct number, since they signed the deal with France, is 6 out and 3500 in.

News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [353]

Prior to his assassination he was largely unknown outside the US.

YouTube and X give him a large following outside the US, so he wasn't largely unknown.

More a far right

Far right is what the left say when someone normal is telling them the truth. It's an easy way of shutting down a debate.

I'm more interested in the shockingly bad behaviour of the Yank audience at the golf tournament; it seems standards of behaviour have plummeted there.

A little bit unsporting, but at least the POTUS offered his congratulations to team Europe. Well done, Mr Trump.

It only started a week ago.

Because you don't live here, you wouldn't know it started some weeks ago. The first one was an Indian man flown to Paris. Was that not included in your Labour monthly newsletter? Anyhow, it's not going to work, anyone can see that.

starting to deal with migration

Since he signed the "one in-one out deal" with the French, there has been 6 out, 3000+ in. What a shambles, how on earth did he think that was going to work?

I bet you'd never even heard of it or knew what the acronym stood for before the trumpists and that tìt Musk started on about it.

Wrong again, I knew about it long before you even knew what woke meant.

I'm not, since my stats are accurate and up to date whereas yours are tripe from a far-right tabloid.

Jon your opinion on stats have no credit on here, and it would be too hard for you to give an unbiased answer.

You mean apart from the obvious?

Please do tell, what is the obvious?

@Lazarus

but you can apparently tell who is and isn't genuinely entitled under UK law to asylum just by looking at them.

It's easy to tell if the dinghy people are entitled to asylum. Short answer no, they are criminals for coming to the UK illegally, and should be sent straight back to France.

Although the NHS has 279 managers (thanks to Thatcher)on over £200,000. None, not one at all, are 'DEI Officers"

Goodness, you're out of touch even more than I thought

Johnson praised for her courage in transitioning.

He wouldn't do it now, the SC ruled that a transwoman is a man.

we're now starting to puncture the Channel dinghies and return unwanted migrants (which the Tories never did),

"We're" didn't puncture anything. When the cameras were on, the French police stuck a knife in one of the dingies. In general they do nothing, just help them to leave France. So far the government has paid them £700m, for doing sod all.

we have increased the minimum wage by 7%, benefitting 3 million British workers

You forgot they also put up the NI for employers, meaning lots of workers are losing their jobs every week because employers can't afford it.

@jon347

and made a £22.6 billion increase to NHS spending

The NHS don't need more taxpayer money pumped into it, it needs to be reformed. Get rid of all those DEI officers on £200.00+ salaries first.

@jon347

cut waiting lists for 5 months in a row

This is propaganda, they give patients appointments, then cancel them a month later.

Starmer signed a one in, one out with Macron four days ago, the real truth is it will be one out and 17 in, if the amount agreed is 50 per month. What kind of stupid deal is that? Incidentally, since the deal was signed, 1400 illegals have crossed which will cost the taxpayer £40000 a year for each one. Starmers bs of "smashing the gangs" hasn't happened, in fact the gangs have smashed him. 46000 so far have come in since two tier Kier came to power.

Jon, you don't live here and don't see the everyday mess-up by Labour. You only see the left opinion in those online news rags that you read.

How did he become your leader? A coin flip?

He won by default, 75% of the country didn't vote because the Tories are just the same as Labour, just have a different name.

If it has to be explained to you, there is something lacking in the brain department... Good enough explanation?

Yes that's a good explanation, because Sir Kier Starmer need 6 SC judges to explain to him, so you're correct about the brain department

What don't you like about the current one who has a supermajority and will be in office for the next 9 years?

Like your sense of humour, Jon. In reality, he would be lucky to last to the end of the year, as Labour are imploding a little bit more each day. This man was never meant to be a leader, and has left the country in a terrible mess. God knows what it will be like in 4 years time if a general election isn't called for soon.

What law allows the gov to gag the press?

The PM can get his judge friends to create an injunction to gag the MSM. He has also taken out a "Super Injunction" which means you can't even mention the injunction.

And his father is irrelevant.

Perhaps if Starmer had refused his visa those 3 young Stockport girls would still be alive, and not murdered by his off spring.

The Times?

The Times calls itself centre right, but all newspapers have a left wing narrative, and are sometimes gagged by the government not to report on certain things. I haven't' bought a newspaper for 10 years or so, and don't intend to. They're all full of yesterday's news anyway.

What 'attempt'?

Police say it was not a terrorist attack, but a copy of "Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual", was found in his home as well as a banned toxic substance. It also transpired that two tier Kier helped his father, back in the day, to get a visa for his father, who was a migrant from Rwanda. The public were taken for a ride on this one, no wonder there was a lot of tension. I would not expect you to know this, as you don't see the day to day running of this country. Those leftest rags that you read won't tell you the full story. Try to find some independent news outlets, they will be closer to the truth.

however if someone with a large social media following exhorts their followers to burn women and children to death in hostels and some of those followers go to a hostel and start a fire with the intention of doing that,

There is no proof that her post made people start fires in hotels. People were furious about the murders of three young girls, and the attempt to cover up the identity of the murderer. These rioters were thugs and done this off their own backs, without any help from a tweet. The damage to the wall, by the musk, was rebuilt by kind British workmen for free.

It really isn't.

Jon, you don't know what it's like here daily. Shoplifters not arrested, no burglaries arrests, activists breaking laws every weekend the woke and captured police don't want to know. But if someone says some hurty words on social media, you can guarantee 6 cops will turn up and arrest them. I would add that there are probably some good cops out there as well who will face dangerous situations.

@Vincent
Hope there is a big smile on your face today. Not the best match but right result.

Yes, of course, and it's about time we won something. Two bad clubs this season, and a scrappy goal, but we'll take it.
