The Labour Government

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

It is intriguing because I could never understand why Labour wouldn’t call out for Gaza when we have so many Muslims in our country, they have lost seats IMO because of Gaza

Because we've created a culture in which to do so would be called antisemitic. RW would seize on this.

City fan James Timpson appointed Prisons Minister - maybe he can sort out those charges?

I’ll be interested to see how soon the ‘independents’ who’ve been elected standing on a Gaza platform bring the horror going on in the Middle East to an end….

As long as Christianity is fair game then it's all good.

Immigration has been the all-important issue in UK politics in recent years.
It was used to get the Brexit leave vote over the line.
It is used to stoke the votes for Reform.
If Labour can find a workable way to control / manage it then Reform will be reduced to a "send 'em back" party and exposed as the Nazis they are.

By control you mean control immigration don't you? If you don't then Labour will not be managing it at all.

That seems like an excellent appointment.

Wonderful that we now have Labours first female prime minister, can't wait for HS2 now coming all the way to Manchester, cheap affordable rents and property prices for young people, violent knife crime and disorder a thing of the past, no more strikes in the public sector, even the pot hole problem is going to be solved..... i am of course being cynical, i wish the new government the best, alas it's probably not going to happen.

I don't think anyone has actually got over 50% since Churchill.

Churchill never got 50%. When he did win, Labour got more votes.

Baldwin is the only PM to get more than 50% since the 19th century and that was the si-called "National" government.
