The Labour Government

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

The standard of Tory MP can never have been lower. They need to find 600 people willing to stand that are intelligent and articulate.

To do that would require the selection team to be intelligent and articulate..... so no chance there.

This guy is a unabashed right wing commentator and historian, so it pains me to admit that he's right...

The British gov is holding an investment conference. A swathe of international bankers and investors has said the time is right to invest in Britain, PROVIDED THE GOV IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
So the transport secretary trashes P&O and calls for a boycott. P&O is now a Dubai company planning to invest in a major way. It took Starmer sweet talking them to repair the damage.
Labour must learn the lesson and drop their historic antipathy to the private sector or a major opportunity will be lost. Post Brexit our future depends on it.
The transport secretary remains in her post.

Lammy is an idiot.

The issue is with employment rights more than taking private sector money.

DP world and other cunts got into their positions by avoiding best working practices for bigger profits and now think they can dictate to governments their profit driven agendas.

I don't know whether what that chap says is correct or not.

But my impression about Lammy is that he tends to shoot from the hip and says what comes into his head sometimes not thinking. That is an unenviable quality for any secretary for stat.

Put it another way, early days I know, but sadly he doesn't appear to have the intellect and integrity of a certain former Labour Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook. But few do these days.

That was the difference in parties many years ago.

Dissenting voices were heard and debates within the labour party where done in the open, and occasionally those voices would win and make policy from their arguments. Whilst the Tories plotted and schemed against each other in the shadows.

Ever since Blair the plotting has been in labour party too.

You really think Labour politicians didn't plot and scheme against each other until Blair?

I was put off getting involved with politics when I read a book by Ken Livingstone, and his scheming, years before Blair would have been an MP. Scheming and plotting would have been going on a LONG time before that.

I know what's going on.

I'm going on.

Simon Webb is 100% correct in saying Lammy will be upfront in these Reparations negotiations and is not remotely on our side and will cost us billions we can’t afford on totally bogus handouts
