The Labour Government

I see another body that gets some privileges on taxation cries foul when they face probable tax hikes. I am sure an industry that is almost 100% cash ( on course betting ) don't want tax raised to align with on-line ( electronic based gambling ) - who the fuck do they think they are? Turkish barbers shops?

Oh and if you strike the period in which you strike represents a loss or production is lost - you make 10 widgets a day - strike for 2 days - 20 widgets are lost. Deferring and re-scheduling your activity is not striking.

No it wasn’t, it was a response to how a party will govern based on their councillors, I wonder if that’s why I didn’t make my point clear enough to you.

I made the same point about the governance of the council as a whole and my whole initial point was to question their councillors that have been elected - if seasoned councillors of any political persuasion with significant experience are clearly struggling, how is voting in people with no experience at all be of benefit? I could elaborate far further on that with how reform councillors are doing so far but the whole point was to ask people to do it themselves.

My underlying point to that and subsequent posts was if they can’t even put up candidates that know the daily running of a local council, how are they going to put up quality candidates capable of running a government? Not even that, they couldn’t even keep five MPs in line.

And it had nothing to do with Farage being PM, I didn’t mention the leadership at all. It’s entirely about competence in the party itself. Personally, although the political landscape has changed ridiculously recently and how most view it has become polticial in itself, I don’t. I’ve known brilliant councillors of every political persuasion. I can’t say that yet about reform and that’s why I said to keep an eye on them. If anyone’s been properly doing that so far, then it does not look good whatsoever.

Hopefully that explains my position more, but less of the last comment please, I think and hope I’ve always been courteous with you when I’ve not even disagreed with you but just pointed out you’ve been incorrect, I’d hope with opinions that could be extended further as I’ll always welcome a difference when it comes to that and respect that and why I felt the need to respond to your comment further.

It is clearer now, appreciate you taking the time to re-explain, and apologies if I offended, wasn’t my intent. You make a valid point on inexperience, you’ve only got to look at how Labour fared with inexperience in actually governing - I doubt it’s a point that will damaged their election chances.

Thank you and I agree with your last point there :)
 
Is there any reason he couldn't sell two of his businesses to his children and live for 7 years to incur no IHT?

He'd be a complete rabbit in headlights, fought his whole career against the EU and wouldn't have a clue where to stand when it comes to summits on European security, embarrassing thought.

Starmer on the other hand has spent his life dealing with Prime Ministers and Presidents from all over the globe. He's an expert on European security, and indeed on everything actually.

He is diplomatic and a statesmen, he is clearly working well and making good relations with European leaders and world leaders including Trump, we have benefited by having various trade deals and on security issues - that's good to see isn't it ? and can you envision Farage doing the same?

It's been so normal and relatively balanced the last few days without you...sigh!
 
And another policy change with unforeseen consequences...

10 years rather than 5 to get British citizenship is getting the Hong Kongers who came here under a BNO passport a bit edgy - not least if their kids go to Uni and have to pay overseas student fees.

Just waiting for him to start saying we shouldn't be supporting Ukraine.

Was that a Tory one or the knee jerk pander to reform labour one?
