Haha. I shouldn't laugh but you never know with England as a whole and their love affair with Tories.

Parts of South East London under water again. I believe similar happened fairly recently. Hosepipe ban a few months ago. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/03/south-east-water-announces-hosepipe-ban-kent-and-sussex On the plus side Sth East Water profits after tax last year were 114 million pounds. I'm sure those figures will cheer the residents.

Latest 'joys of privatisation' update.

A quick glance back at some of the country's leading economists veiws on Labour's reckless uncosted economic 2015- 2019 spending plans. https://www.ft.com/content/d29b4cbe-0fa4-11ea-a225-db2f231cfeae https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/jeremy-corbyns-radical-manifesto-would-have-cost-17-billion-less-than-boris-johnsons-moonshot-punt-201004/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/general-election-labour-economy-spending-corbyn-boris-johnson-a9218041.html https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/labour-deserve-form-next-government-20965893 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/21/labour-manifesto-comes-with-substantial-risks-but-costs-may-be-worth-it https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-26/corbyn-s-u-k-spending-blitz-wins-backing-from-economists https://www.cityam.com/economists-give-labour-a-boost-by-backing-spending-plans/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/22/jeremy-corbyn-economists-backing-anti-austerity-policies-corbynomics Sadly all them economists were talking a load of twaddle because our own SuperStarmsi implied so in his posts above. Stronts and NV, the economic dream team. https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/uk-austerity-since-2010-linked-to-tens-of-thousands-more-deaths-than-expected/

"Strange" indeed John..strange indeed.

Re distribution of wealth is apparently now an out of bounds subject in Britain so the super rich can and will carry on filling their boots.

Oh goodie.. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/05/ftse-100-bosses-paid-more-in-three-days-than-average-uk-worker-for-whole-year

That 2019 manifesto could have saved our care system and our NHS.

Rachel Reeves doing the media rounds this morning telling bare faced lies about Labours last two manifestos. Both were fully costed. Starmer helped write and promote the 2019 one. Don't care if its Owen Jones, probably the first time I've ever linked him but he's 100% right here.. Shit like this from a Labour shadow chancellor needs to be called out.

Well knock me down with a feather, after all these years I've just discovered Michael Jackson is amongst the backing singers on this 1980 Wonder masterpiece from the album Hotter than July. The fact Wonder plays every instrument bar the Saxophone is less surprising. Anyway...

Levelling up. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/05/ftse-100-bosses-paid-more-in-three-days-than-average-uk-worker-for-whole-year

Hmm maybe. I'm not so sure, I think he's learnt how to play them as well as he can under the circumstances.

I can. He almost came back and got control the other month. If the Tories are looking at a heavy defeat in a years time or so imo they'll be ruthless in fucking Sunak off.

Put your cutthroat razor away Sweeny its only a discussion.

I think he would, I think he'd be less divisive. I take your general point on the lack of political talent about at the moment though (on all sides).. if that was your general point. Parliament as a whole is grim.

Burnham or any other Labour politican willing to stop the continuing scandal of privatisation. Our energy/rail/water bills are the highest in Europe, not only can the public no longer afford it the costs to consumers are prohibiting growth within the wider economy.

And back on the subject of HoC bars and restaurants, car parking etc. Cost to taxpayers per ammum 17 million. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/food-poverty-parliament-mps-taxpayers-cost-of-living-subsidies/ Meanwhile; https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/hospital-parking-charges-nhs-staff-23769443

This will help the yawning.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59539589.amp

Yawn indeed. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nurse-salary-strike-disparity-with-mps_uk_636cf2d5e4b06d3e42583882 The more valiant point is the country would still tick along fine without MPs, just look at Matt Hancock fucking off to Australia. This country would fucked without nurses. As for HoC bars and restaurants. Most are Mps/staffers guests only. https://w4mp.org/library/researchguides/welcome/access-to-refreshment-facilities-in-the-palace-of-westminster/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/mar/15/parliamentary-bars-what-really-like

Yeah like MPs who have now cancelled free car parking granted for NHS staff during the pandemic.

Clown.

No its because as announcements go its an irrelevant announcement to people's fucking lives. People are dying on waiting lists, starving outside food banks and unable to heat homes, yet posh lad makes a silly dig about Twitter

"I've no idea what she does" 'If it wasn't for this thread wouldn't know about it" "To say I don't care would be an understatement" "Couldn't give a fuck" "I'm just saying'"

The cutthroat razor mobs will out in force after this... I blame Redfield and Wilton. Or twitter, or jumbely crobbin, or someone else.
