    Margaret Thatcher - 'Hold my beer!"

    I don't neccessarily see this as a win for Reform rather a loss for Labour. The 'party of the people' has gone against the very people who voted for them by withdrawing the winter fuel allowance  from most pensioners and looking to cut the personal independence payments (Pips) for disabled people. On top of this is the continued drama with illegal immigrants which Reform uses as a bedrock of everything it's about. Couple with this with the increase in N.I. and Labour look like the Tories. Starmer isn't popular and is seen as weak and ineffective.

     

    Labour came to power with one of the largest parliamentary majorites ever (411 seat out of 650) but have struggled to 'balance the books' and are seen as punishing the very people it was supposed to help. Things need to change and change quickly otherwise these local elections will just be a precursor for a big win in the next general election.  

     

     

    Good to see that after several years on the forum you posted something resembling the truth.

     

    Labour have betrayed the voters. They are an incompetent version of The Tories. Britain needs change desperately.

    Governments have to deal with both domestic and overseas events. It's a fact of political life.

     

    Captain Obvious to the rescue. 😆

     

    Nobody has said otherwise. But domestic issues should always take priority over pontificating about events thousands of miles away.

     

    Of course, it's much easier to get on a soapbox about Palestine and Ukraine than it is to fix the NHS or the issues with UK housing/education. Which is why they do it. Some suckers lap it up...

    A bit salty Jonny?

     

    Not really Chomps.😆

     

    We won the big one in November. Celebrating Carney's win in Canada is a bit like celebrating catching a worm in the net after a blue marlin jumped out.

     

    Still, it's all you've got so crack on 😆.
