The Labour Government

[The perfect fumble]

Those are his words, any independent assement of his achievements?

Do you get your house slave to peel you a grape, while you idly tap your keyboard demanding others do the graft?

No lol. Its just part of the debate is it not. It was a genuine question. I don't live in London that's why I asked. Anyway no worries, Bluehammer posted for you

In May last year Khan won a landmark third successive term as mayor of London.

The Tories put Zac Goldsmith, the twat he defeated back in 2016, in the House of Lords, he's now Baron Goldsmith of Richmond Park.

Last year Khan beat his Conservative rival Susan Hall by more than 276,000 votes - representing a swing of 3.2% to Labour.

He won nine of the 14 constituencies including two gains from the Tories.

He has an impressive list of achievements to his name, I doubt you could name one.

I don't like Khan, I don't like his politics and I don't like his style, but he's a formidable political operator, has done more good than harm and Londoners keep re-electing him.

But you chose to go with knife crime to ridicule the honour he's received, an honour that's routinely dished out to lesser men without comment.

Easy, Tiger. It's an Internet meme.
I didn't realise you had a hard on for the fella

Starmer has made some mistakes in his first few months.

A fair and honest comment to include the mugging of pensioners and the villainous betrayal of those poor waspi women. Inflation up, unemployment up, possibility of a recession, tens of thousands more illegals trotting over, two tier policing, inflation busting pay rises, etc.

In the interests of fair play, the poor lad hasn't had a break since taking office. Somewhat surprised he hasn't deputised his deputy whilst away, so he could return back to blighty more refreshed to tackle his 2025 rebuilding year.

She projects as such a pleasant, keen and willing soul, so unsure on his reluctance to share of the workload?
Maybe she's too busy herself rebuilding our towns of the future.

Re-election?

I think in all honesty that's more not being a Tory at the time. From a distance I would say knife crime would be the largest negative. As I don't live there the positives I couldn't say.
I always think with mayor's and local govt you have to try and judge are any positives or negatives down to the mayor or the national govt.
Funding always becomes the sticking point.

All Governments and Prime Mjnisters make mistakes. The last lot certainly made plenty.

I believe its fair to pass comment on policies but It's way to early to judge this government, let's see where we are in a year or two. If the economy has grown then all of us will be happy, we'll nearly all of us ;-)

Re-election?

True, but remember Boris got re-elected as Major and you and many others on here loathe him, so perhaps not the best endorsement?

whilst they are planning (rightfully) the abolition of hereditary peers lets get rid of this too - a "regiment" that exists to serve a Duke who doesn't live there and are armed with rifles that belong in the 19th century ...... what is the point?
