The Labour Government

French is not widely spoken in Rwanda.

6% of the population.

Kinyarwanda is the main language.

It’s widely spoken still albeit you’re right they don’t use it as a first language.

I've no idea what he meant. 122k was ridiculous, I guessed it might be a typo or a figure for a much wider area than that Trust, but it obviously wasn't for that trust wasn't as the total workforce is under 12k. I did check the annual report and it's maybe 1.2k of the FTE workforce is BME.

122k in the entire NHS workforce being of APAC origin might make sense. Thats 8% give or take.

He sold a lot less than the Heath Government did ... and at a much better price... but you dont hear about that do you?

Not once you factor in inflation. Anyway I won’t criticise Brown for selling the gold, his logic at the time was sound, the execution perhaps a little less so. People the world over were trying to get rid of gold assets, not just governments. Hindsight is a wonderful thing - we’d all be billionaires if we could apply hindsight eh?

You didn’t make any points. You complained. You want to suggest ideas for making the economy less reliant on immigrant labour then do so. Currently, around 20% of NHS staff are non-British so you can start there.

Less whining and more productive ideas. Go.

So pointing out that the system can't cope with the rate of immigration is not making a point? Oh come on Bob. Try harder mate.

Seems Keith has put the attack on our Lou.

Not happy with her resigning it seems Sky is trying to ruin her full stop. They didn't bat an eyelid when Boris and his cabinet of cunts were literally screwing us all over COVID.

Too left wing for him.

One of them is lying…. If you don’t like Starmer you’re gonna believe he is and if you like Starmer you’re going to believe Haigh is. @blueinsa was right IMHO that her cards were numbered when she fucked off the P&O owners and she’s being briefed against - that doesn’t necessarily mean her version of events is true though. I doubt we will ever know.

as far as I am concerned;
Wherever these people are ( costing us a fortune)
Get rid immediately if they can’t speak English, no passports, no skills needed get interviewed by people who know the skills needed, obviously any with bad records.
Simple ( any goody goody who can’t look after them, tell them to do one)

That's native English, is it?

Should there be a requirement to be able to write coherent English? Just asking...

Growth seems to have vanished from the Labour adgenda for the next 2-3 years, judging my the latest Institute of Directors (IoD) survey - I simply can't see how a recession can be avoided with a business confidence factor currently at -69.

Confirmation of how catestrophic Reeves budget was. This section is particularly damning:

  • 50% expect to lessen wage increases
  • 44% expect to increase prices
  • 43% to reduce employment
  • 25% expect to absorb the costs in lower margins
  • 25% will seek to increase productivity
  • 57% were planning to do at least two of the above

As ever, politicians of all colours talk a great game but they do not deliver.
