I'm surprised he's allowed to do that.
I'm public sector and we have to be very careful about accepting anything which could be seen to prejudice us. Weird that the people who make actual laws can.
The people who make the laws would have to make law forbidding it.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
So two months in, would you say the adults are back in the room?Originally Posted by WMUG
Or have one lot of mediocres been replaced by another

Still not the most damaging Boris for Europe, amirite?
Fortunately Bergamo is about 200 miles north east, so by time it hits we will have left Italy.
The word is 'mediocrities'
But yes it appears so, although still not as ideologically dangerous and outright corrupt as the Tories
They’re giving it a good try though. Cash for Access, gifts to Mrs Starmer and prioritising the sectarian muzza vote over the country’s interests (Israel might not need our weapons exports, but we sure as hell need their pharmaceuticals) not only that but lying about acting on legal advice, which presumably we wouldn’t have got from Saudi Arabia
That and returning funding to UNRWA when even the UN’s own investigation found many of its workers complicit in October 7th. But because Wes Streeting almost lost his seat because the same semi literate anti semites who used to vote Labour are now voting for Islamists with megaphones, and because Jonathan Ashworth did lose his seat to such an individual it’s better to do foreign policy by what’s the most efficacious in the short term for the Labour Party electorally.
That’s before you get to the monstrous own goal of encouraging the police and the judiciary to give people custodial sentences for tweets when because of the lack of prison space, you’re also giving early release to sex offenders and wife batterers.
Like with the Tories, the problem is less ideological and one of lack of basic competence. And anyone who isn’t a hardened unthinking tribalist would have no issue acknowledging it.
I don’t think Starmer is a bad guy, I just think he’s a poor politician who lacks imagination…makes him similar to Sunak in that respect.
Boris wasn't damaging for Europe, he was damaging for the UK.
Also more importantly I wasn’t asking you
I asked the person who adamantly told me two years ago that we needed a Labour government because we needed the adults back in the room
I appreciate the sentiment, but the fact is….the adults don’t exist. There are two types of politician, the ones who stick steadfastly to the status quo and through lack of innovation and perverse incentives can only see things in the short term. Then there is the populist who tells people that we can build Elysian if only we do the one special thing that will make everything great. They both come from the same social/economic class, they both went to the same academic establishments. The only difference is the former avoid hard truths, and the latter pretend they are telling you hard truths.
