The Labour Government

[Mr Kobayashi]

Are you serious???

Just lobbing a load of (our) money at them and you think that deserves a "well done"?

Just how difficult would you find it to give someone else's money away??? You'll be congratulating them for breathing next.

The money deducted from your salary and other taxes etc, e.g. VAT isn't your money. It's public money.

The Conservative goverment of which you had posters on your bedroom wall gave much more money away to compensate passengers for delays away due to prolonging strikes and guaranteeing profits of TOCs.

Oooohhhh I am celebrating today, it is wonderful news. I may not be getting the £300 (I'm over 80 so I would have been) WFA but I will be getting the £10 bonus.
I am so thrilled, so grateful, so delighted, so contented. I'm thinking of going and booking myself a holiday. I'm sure £10 will get me to the bottom of my garden and back. Oh delirium.


;-) :-)

Save it Eccles.

You might need to burn it to keep warm this winter.

Don’t worry about Starmers wife though. She will have a £5k fur coat on someone has gifted her and the hubby can claim the heating costs anyway so the radiators are on full blast.

Since we are all members of the public it is fair to refer to it as our money. You can split hairs all you want but the fact remains that what chippy said is true.

Train drivers have voted overwhelmingly to accept a multi-year pay deal, ending a two-year dispute at 16 train companies, their union Aslef has announced.

finally! well done Labour.
sorting out pay for junior doctors and ending the risk of further strikes is also huge.

Why are we paying them ? They work in privatised businesses .

Trouble in paradise.

How would you know what paradise is? You live in perpetual misery! :-)

It’s a bit concerning though tbf, Labour had the perfect opportunity to come in and give the country a much needed boost yet have managed to fuck it right up for little benefit in the long term with the removal of WFA.
I’d still be willing to wait and see what some of the policies they have in store before claiming they are anything like the last mob who were rightly fucked off.

scrapped the Rwandan plan, sorted out pay for doctors and trains and ended the strikes - lifeblood of our country.
Stamped out the Farage racist riots.
Starmer working with EU states on a regular basis, discussing migration issue with Italy PM.
GB Energy looking like a great initiative to help tackle climate change but also not relying on foreign investment.
Coming down on water firms which the Tories let pollute our rivers and seas, also coming down on the Covid dodgy contracts and wasted billions.

lots of positives so far in which is very early days.
