The Labour Government

[Dereck Jeffries 3 wd]

Oh No!!! Lammy's been let out ...... Starmer Troopers on full alert

UK politics: Unite hits back at Starmer over Birmingham bin strike, questioning Labour’s backing for ‘working people’– as it happened

Union says the government should intervene directly and force the council to settle the dispute

See Lammy’s at it again letting two MPs go to Israel. With their views what does he expect! Thick as s…t

The fish rots from the head, I don't make the rules.

Indeed





Talking of rotten

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

This was always going to be Labours' problem with such a big majority; discipline. Its far easier to run a tight ship with a small crew.

Not sure that majority size and discipline matter too much when you’ve got a sex offending nonce in the ranks!

It's ok, the grown ups are in charge.

Agree totally. It wasnt known what he had been locked up for at time of posting!

Looks like Starmer has bottled it on the trade tarriffs , ruling out a tarriff war with the US. Just what Trump wants.

With the imminent closure of the Scunthorpe blast furnace in the next few months, this will be the end of steel making in the UK. A sad day for British industry nearly 300 years after Abraham Derby perfected the Blast Furnace method. The UK will be the only G20 country that can't make it's own steel.

And before those reply, a reminder, electric Arc furnaces don't make steel! they just recycle old steel and the steel isn't as good a quality.

Dissapointing, especially after both main parties have been on record in the past decade stating that steel making was an essential core industry that needed to be retained by the UK.

Scunthorpe is pretty grim as it stands, losing such a significant employer will decimate what's left of the local economy.

Shame it was privatised.

Doesn't stop it being supported or being renationalised.

TBF probably best to stand off at the moment let him play his game and see were we are in a couple of weeks.

Labour have nationalised (bailed it out at Taxpayers expense) it twice ....each time the Tories went and sold it off again when they got into power.

There has to be a learning curve.

Yet we are reliant on imported feedstock. Recycling will at least make us theoretically self sufficient - not to dismiss your concerns with quality.

No there doesn't.

For various reasons there is very little we are self sufficient on food included if we carry on building on agricultural land this will only get worse

So you want the taxpayer to continuously bail out British Steel so that the Tories can then sell it off to their mates at a cheap price ?

Who exactly did the tories sell it off to then? Which of their friends?

It will become another breeding ground for Farage.

I didn't say that, you clearly haven't grasped the fact that there are other ways of suporting British industry. Only two months ago you thought British Steel was still British owned until I pointed out to you it wasn't and you quickly googled and found out I was correct.

No offence but it's not really worth debating things like this with you, your default position on all things political is so predictable.

Or we could put 150% tariffs on foreign steel to protect the home market.
