  1. Oh so now Starmer is guilty of the excess deaths from winter 22/23 caused by the Tories protecting energy company windfall profits at cost to consumers. But let’s look at energy prices over the period you want to use to back your baseless claim. Clearly prices over that period where at historical highs and have since reduced significantly. Apples and Oranges Jonny. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/press-release/energy-prices-fall-again-winter
  2. Another Republican led wild goose chase.
  3. No, it indicates I don’t fall for baseless predictions. Do you have a link that demonstrates these deaths you predict?
  4. Crystal ball stuff.
  5. You should try to control your envy, it’s an ugly emotion.
  6. I spent many months (the majority) last year in the UK in the company of OAPs and the whole of February of this year in the UK staying with an OAP. You? Starmer isn’t proposing scrapping the winter fuel allowance, the proposal is that it should be means tested.
  7. He’s weak for enforcing the whip. OK.
  8. There’s a couple of things far worse than the US having the biggest and baddest stick. Russia or China having the biggest and baddest stick.
  9. Maybe they’ll vote otherwise.
  10. You perhaps aren’t aware of the range of benefits pensioners receive. Regardless, there are also large numbers of pensioners in receipt of personal and work place pensions, many with incomes above the average national wage income, taxing workers to give these people extra benefits they don’t need is clearly not tenable.
  11. And now Public Schools in NY will include the history of all those non white Americans. The horror.
  12. Are you sure? https://www.forbes.com/sites/philipsalter/2023/08/22/foreign-born-founders-behind-39-of-the-uks-fastest-growing-companies/
  13. Justice is coming: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/09/03/trump-federal-court-removal-hush-money-sentencing/75058465007/
  14. The only pensioners not getting the winter fuel allowance are those with incomes above the threshold to receive all other benefits. With over 100,000 asylum seekers left as a gift by the previous government, Labour have certainly inherited assisted costs. Foreign aid, that thing even the Tories understood was means to positively influence other nations in the UK’s best interests. There was already a prison over crowding crisis months before the election of this Labour Government, I only yesterday provided you a link to a report on the matter, so a bit of studied ignorance on your part.
  15. It’s been two months since the election, The Telegraph still haven’t got over themselves about the result. Gawd, just wait for their response to the autumn budget when it comes.
  16. The question is, does he have the backing of the British electorate? The UK being a sovereign nation with a sovereign Government and all that.
  17. Before reading the article, I thought to myself. ’I bet this is about the UK withdrawing export licenses for arms to Israel’/ ‘Withdrawl of the objections to the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu ’ The Telegraph did not disappoint.
  18. The logic Trump’s supporters, both foreign and domestic, are fond of is, like ‘granny’s wheels’ circular. They construct a hypothetical situation and then argue with it, not realizing the source of the hypothetical and the argument against it are the both out of their own head. They just love arguing with themselves.
  19. The cesspit corners of the of the internet, the NYP and FOX News are renowned for such stuff. It’s an expectation.
  20. The shooter was interviewed by Investigators a year ago following threats he made online. His father, who since bought him a gun, said at the time of that investigation that his son did not have access to guns. His father has now been arrested and charged with second degree murder: “More than a year ago, tips about online posts threatening a school shooting led Georgia police to interview Colt Gray, then 13, but investigators did not have enough evidence for an arrest. “ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/05/georgia-shooting-apalachee-boy-interviewed https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/sep/05/us-elections-live-kamala-harris-debate-donald-trump
