1. I am not your Bruv. I think you are one of the more extreme new members who think you can come on here and say anything without consequences.
2. It is to be noted that he has been sacked and had the whip removed immediately rather than the Tories that would have sat on their hands for weeks and then done nothing.
3. The Reform scum would have promoted the idiot!
4. Misogyny and racism have no place in the world, other than in Trump's MAGA world (America has never been great so how can they make it great again btw) and the ultra Muslim ideocracies of Iran & the Taliban led Afghanistan.
5. Please note that I am no defender of Labour any more than the Tories, they are both useless in my mind but at least some of Labour's policies are looking in the right direction, you'd probably welcome that Reform want to turn us into the USA. No NHS free for all to use, no Cancer research, etc etc.

Is that better for you?


An opportune moment, perhaps, to remember the Boris Johnson still championed on here declaring 'let bodies pile high!'.

Then shall we discuss how Musk's lies and calls for people to be hung were recently celebrated? Trump's catalogue of disgraceful rhetoric? Farage insisting lunch was more important than addressing his MP hiding a conviction for assaulting a woman?

Or maybe some of the languge peddled on these very pages.

It was right for Gwynne to go. In the same it was right for Tulip Sidiq to go. And in the same way it was right for Louis Haigh to go.

But the two tier - in fact make that twenty two tier attitude toward what's acceptable is as predictable as it's pathetic...

Oh come. Had it been a Tory/Reform MP, you'd have been all over it like a rash. You're kidding no one Bruv.

Well it didn?t take long, yet another example of our two tier, two faced lying leader having different standards as PM to what he piously preached in opposition. Despicable man.
I wonder what Mad Ed thinks..


Never Here Keir runs up ?700,000 bill for flights in his first three months
By Anna Mikhailova, Deputy Political Editor
SIR Keir Starmer?s jet-setting has cost the taxpayer nearly ?700,000 in his first three months in Downing Street, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Prime Minister?s foreign trips cost ?161,000 more than Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss combined over the equivalent period since 2021.

Sir Keir has been slated for the frequency of his trips abroad, earning him the nickname ?Never Here Keir?.

He was accused of hypocrisy over travelling to Germany by private jet, having previously attacked Rishi Sunak for private jet use. The flight to see the Euro 2024 final in Berlin was with a family member who was flying with him at public expense, according to government records.

His trip to New York for the UN General Assembly was ?236,020 - nearly double what it cost for Liz Truss to fly to the same event in 2022. When Boris Johnson went in 2021 as prime minister, it cost ?188,000 to fly by RAF plane.

In total, Sir Keir?s flights between July and September cost ?697,198. They include visits to Paris for the Olympics Opening Ceremony, Washington DC for a Nato summit and bilateral visits to Rome, Dublin and Berlin.

Sir Keir has travelled abroad on official business more in his first six months in power than any of his immediate predecessors, and has spent more time abroad than any PM has in the same time frame.

By comparison, Mr Johnson, Ms Truss and Mr Sunak?s flights in the same months from 2021 to 2023 cost ?536,085.

Luke Tryl, director of polling company More in Common, said: ?It is striking that people in our focus groups since the autumn have been raising concerns that Keir Starmer ?always seems to be abroad?.

?Perhaps most importantly Keir hasn?t done a good job of explaining why his trips benefit people here at home.?

Conservative MP Paul Holmes said: ?This is the height of hypocrisy from the Labour Party who banged on about flights in opposition.? Meanwhile Foreign Secretary David Lammy?s flights cost more than ?900,000 from July to September.

A government source said this is in line with the travel costs of his predecessors Lord Cameron and James Cleverly.

A Downing Street source said: ?Since taking office in July, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet have worked tirelessly to rebuild the diplomatic bridges burned by the Tories during 14 years of chaos and decline which have weakened Britain?s influence abroad and made us more vulnerable at home.?

A Foreign Office spokesman said last night: ?The Foreign Secretary?s job requires him to travel abroad to pursue the UK?s interests. This Foreign Secretary remains committed to ensuring the most cost-effective way of travel, delivering best value for money for the taxpayer.?

Lots of complaining about the last lot or people criticising the current lot in the same way you criticised the last lot.

But nothing defending the performance of this govt.

It's often what isn't said that is the most important...
Stay Home. Stay Safe.
