No, because I’m now getting my hate-fix from the US Presidential Election.

You do realise don’t you that the British voter is a fickle beast. If they are not best pleased with the incumbent for whatever reason, they will vote for the other main party just to punish the sitting one.Depends who the alternative is and, if it’s the same bunch as just dry bummed, I don’t think Labour will be worried

What a truly amazing electoral system we have.You do realise don’t you that the British voter is a fickle beast. If they are not best pleased with the incumbent for whatever reason, they will vote for the other main party just to punish the sitting one.

Ah, you will be one of the super rice who has to "pay his fair share" of taxation to come. (Implication being it was not a fair share previously).I used to fly business class in the 1980s and 1990s to the US

I see you’re doubling down even after I proved you wrong.Prices move in line with demand? Would never have thought of that one. Still doesn’t change the fact that he flew first class given the figures involved.
I do like your little jibe about ‘if you ever travelled anywhere on business’ though. Touchingly naive.
In case you missed it £8k buys a first class one way ticket tomorrow to Washington DC. A return is £16k.
£6k in 2010 was clearly much more likely to be a business class ticket.
You’d get more respect if you admitted you were wrong sometimes rather than continuing to post nonsense that’s easily demonstrated to be nonsense by looking at the BA website.

Make ZERO mistake. There's two reasons Starmer won, and won a 170 seat majority at that.Depends who the alternative is and, if it’s the same bunch as just dry bummed, I don’t think Labour will be worried
1. Because people were truly pissed off and especially, bored with 14 years of Tory government and wanted a change, and
2. Because the right vote was split down the middle between Tory and Reform, whereas the left vote was not. Had there been a unified party on the right, Starmer might not even be PM right now, which given (1) is TRULY remarkable.
He is the most unpopular Labour leader to ever win a GE, and surely this will be his last and only stab at it.
