Probably. It's easy to promise though. Look at Sadiq Khan and how he is getting on. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/sadiq-khan-affordable-homes-housing-statistics-london-b2596188.html The way Labour has broken most of their election promises since gaining power, who really cares what they promise at this point?

His comment sounds like the precursor to some kind of government interference in private rental prices. Labour would love that. More state control.

Talking of "conspiracy theories", turns out Imane Khelif does in fact have meat and 2 veg, and xy chromosomes. https://www.freepressjournal.in/sports/olympic-gold-medalist-boxer-imane-khelif-has-xy-chromosomes-and-testicles-says-algerian-athletes-medical-report https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/olympic-gold-medalist-algerian-boxer-imane-khelif-confirmed-as-man-in-leaked-medical-reports-outrage-follows-12858207.html Another one to add to the list 😄.

Maybe you should read up on the case before posting nonsense. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c05zpdq0lzgo Most teenagers don't then carry out a terrorist attack killing 3 young girls.

A polite way of calling her an Uncle Tom. Absolute nonsense. What is this "black community" they speak of? Left wingers? right wingers? academics? rich? poor? men? women? lgbt? Muslims? Christians? Buddhists? Trying to group them all together into a single entity based solely on their skin colour is indentity politics nonsense and only seeks to inflame division between races rather than bring them together. Badenoch doesn't have a responsibility to think a certain way just because she is black. That's the sort of Rubbish Biden came out with. And Rupa Huq. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/22/politics/biden-charlamagne-tha-god-you-aint-black/index.html

Exactly. The Dems have this brown nosed nobody. The Republicans have Musk.

If you don't want the figures, you shouldn't ask for them. Yes we will see, when independent schools start closing down resulting in the whole body of students entering the state system to be paid for by the government, and a loss of tax on the profits the school once made. They will tax the life out of the economy. Like they always do. Despite the liar Reeves saying there was no need to do so in the election campaign.

Exactly. Employees will pay in the end, whether by lower pay increases, lower bonuses or even losing their jobs. Either that, or they will raise prices and pass it to the consumer. Either way Reeves lied. She is a liar, just like Starmer and the rest of the imbeciles in that party.

Sounds like a communist perspective. People buy privilige all the time. Like flying first class or sitting in the executive box at Arsenal (although in fairness Keir doesn't pay for that - he grifts it). Essentials like education and healthcare should be exempt, not only for reasons of moral decency (which Labour lack) but since it reduces the burden on the state (which Labour appears unable to see). Yes. https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/analysis_vat_on_private_schools_could_end_up_costing_taxpayers

The very same people who are being taxed to death (at which point the increase in inheritance tax kicks in), or perhaps frozen to death if a pensioner. Reeves said there was no reason to raise taxes then raised them by 40 Billion. She is a liar. Pure and simple.

You seem to hate people who are able to "buy privilige". You sound very bitter and jealous. Why shouldn't they "buy privilige" in the form of a decent education for their children, using money that has already been taxed from their income? Any money Labour collect from this policy will be lost by the kids who leave the independent schools and return to state schools. It will probably end up costing them money to implement their nasty little scheme. It's the politics of an angry sixth form Sociology student. Perhaps that's why you are such a fan?

Yes she is indeed a massive liar. She's Labour after all. Just like Starmer and his claims to clean up politics while taking hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of freebies. Labour's policy has always been to tax people to death and then waste the money, sometimes on illegal wars, sometimes supporting illegal immigrants, but always to the detriment of the British people who they despise.

"Pretending" to support him. Certain types just love an argument.

But they did know. They found Al Qaeda manuals and Ricin. They just didn't release it to the public. Local people who knew the background of the guy and exposed the truth were labelled conspiracy theorists. But it turned out to be true. So the "conspiracy theorists" were in fact correct.

Part of Trumps election campaign. Starmer was a useful idiot for the day. Wait until he's in the White House. Starmer's gonna get it, along with Lammy.

The politics of resentment and jealousy. Not everyone wishing to opt out of the woeful and often dangerous comprehensive school system is rich. Many parents sacrifice a lot to provide this for their children. Now, the state will have to pay for their children's education, assuming there is a school space available for them in the area they live. A ridiculous policy.

Well they have to live somewhere. More demand, less supply = higher prices. But don't worry, Labour have also reduced the threshold for stamp duty for first time buyers by 150,000 pounds, making it even more difficult for them to get on the ladder.

I would have thought they had done enough damage to students by removing the VAT exemption on independent schools, which will disrupt many children's education and put further strain on state funded schools as parents move their children to state schools since they can no longer afford to pay for their schooling. They don't think anything through. Totally incompetent.

You think these people who cannot afford to pay rent can afford to buy homes? House prices are astronomical in the UK. Largely due to a massive supply and demand issue caused by the influx of huge numbers of immigrants. What they are doing is removing much needed assistance for low income indigenous people and handing it out to (often illegal) immigrants. Once again, betraying the British people, especially poor ones.

Certainly unfortunate for the bad guys (Palestine, Iran, Starmer, Lammy etc.).

I think the swing states are of greater significance. Trump ahead in 5 out of 7. Some by quite a margin. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4x71znwxdo

There will only be widespread rioting if Trump wins. The #bekind mask of the left is quick to slip when they don't get their own way, especially the BLM/Antifa types. Unfortunately for citizens in these areas, Trump WILL win.

They can both be annoying (Harris more so), but at least the country will prosper under Trump and people will be able to afford their groceries again. Unlike under Harris where people will be skint, censored, subject to mass illegal immigration and lectures on DEI and critical race theory. Plus that grating voice and inane cackle. At least Trump is funny (albeit not always intentionally). I don't see it being close anyway. Trump is leading in the polls in most swing states and most polls underestimate Republican support.

To be fair, we are much more accepting than most Asian countries. Most Thais would say a farang could never really be Thai. They would never approve of a farang PM. Same as Japan, Korea, China etc. I wonder how most Nigerians would feel about a white PM, born in Nigeria to parents who immigrated from Europe a few years before their birth. I do find it deeply ironic that we are at the same time the most accepting/welcoming of other nationalities/races and also the most critical of ourselves in that regard. The only conclusion I can reach is that it's due to either ignorance of how the rest of the world works or simply white guilt.

Maybe you haven't been for a Saturday night out in Newcastle? 😄 If only we applied the same logic to our home countries instead of bending over backwards to accomodate everyone and losing our own culture in the process.
