They must love these Premier league Footballers.

Surely they Takeing enough dosh in to stop pensioners dieing of Hyperthermia.

like labour or loath them they still have a decent amount of support in the country and its not all from the workshy and new and old immigrants that over the last 12 month has hardly gone down more than the odd percentage and we all know not to take polls seriously anyway. no matter when the next GE is called they will still be hard to topple and at worse willf form a act with the other left wing dreamers.

we all know where there priorities do lie, but lets be serious how many pensioners have actually died because of cold and losing heating allowance for one year. the tories killed far more in the covid era.

Political commentators portraying the Labour party in a bad light.Why would they do that eh. ..They must have the easiest job going atm..

They kept this one quiet on Thursday.
The state pension only oaps allowance is capped at £13319.
So becomes taxable again in about 18 months.

Proving the national IQ level is dropping

I can't see any of them feasting on baked beans and gherkins tonight...unless Ange is holding a dinner party.?

What's the projected figures for cosying up to that 'on their knees' dictatorship called the EU and getting feck all back?

Cost of living protests in Germany now.
So thats
England
France
Italy
Germany
Albania in recent weeks not happy with their governments.

Immigrantion the downfall of Europe
With taxpayers picking up the bill to give these scruffy rapists n murderers a free life.

Not a chance I would go on a protest march.
Not risking Jail for our Foreign run England.

suppose its putin and the russians who are causing the problems faced across europe. if there is any spare ammo it would be better used on those who are actually invading the uk and europe. thats the best bit of DEI or as i call ir DIE that could be used. nearly everyone you speak to are pissed off and have there own stories to tell of why they feel like that. long time muslim immigrants and the ones born here are not exactly celebrating life either. as i said to me, can you tell the difference between me and somebody straight off a boat just by looking at us.

What will Trump do as it’s likely he will lose the mid terms, he said if he wins Israel and the States will resume the conflict with Iran. I think they are both very naive as the Iranians will have their targets already identified in the Arab States with weapons supplied by China and Russia, Russia the country who The States are buying diesel from to fund the Ukrainian war. The price of oil will go through the roof and force the cost of living up once more.

You can't blame Trump and Putin for all of the cost of living issues. Government policies including tax and NI increases, rises in NMW, green levies, etc are all down to Labour policy.

Don't forget Spain and Belgium ...and that coup in Poland..What the hell is going on over there,kev?..Only a complete mug of a government would sign up for that crowd..Maybe there's a remoaner on here who could reassure us all they're all sound as a pound?

Burnham, Reeves & co are so naive that they think that the EU would welcome us back under the same terms as we had (including the Thatcher rebate) and it would be just like flicking a switch.
In reality if we applied to rejoin there'd be years of negotiating an acceptable deal during which Parliament would be stalled endlessly debating that one issue, and businesses would be in limbo again wondering what the future would look like.
All to join the basket case that the EU has become. Better to work on improving the current deal - one thing that must never happen is freedom of movement.

Burnham wants to be popular so just blatantly agrees with everybody.
He’s ok as the happy clappy a Jack the Lad, but awkward with the realities of life in Government…being Mayor of Trumpton is more his level….at least he got the buses to run on time..at huge cost.

Let’s be honest you might get a few protests in the U.K. cities nought like France etc, we Brits are too soft to take to the streets. How many on here would be prepared to take to the streets even travel to London to protest ?

thankfully the country does not start or finish in london no matter how some would like it. there were poll tax riots across the country and we have had other localised ones since then. it would not take much for a civil war one to start with another southport, talks about re joining the club or even more money and interferance abroad. so many people are pissed off now where once they,d have just moaned and got on with it.

Let’s be honest…those demonstrating are not the public in any of those countries…just frustrated political activists who’ll never get into power by the ballot box and have a following on the streets of those who are in it for the thrill and what can be acquired in the confusion.
You wouldn’t want to lve in a society run by them.

Is Burnham a full shilling…offering now to fund projects for poorer EU countries and offering slavery reparations went the country is on the bones of our arse…?
As for slavery reparations ..let the slave owners pay…because at the time, most people in this country were virtual slaves anyway
The bloke a third rater who just gives people the answer they want to hear to pacify them.

Didn't the Romans pretty much enslave Britain and much of the World, are they going to pay reparations?
Burnham is a loose cannon, shooting from the lip and rarely putting his brain in gear beforehand. He has absolutely no mandate to renegotiate the Brexit agreement, not to offer apologies and reparation for historical acts which weren't even illegal at the time. Even his own backbenchers are against his dictatorial style of government. And writing off debt, or subsidising developing countries green policies isn't what we should be spending tax payers money on.

but we all know that they,ll find money for all that with ease and sod those paying income tax and other forms of taxation. on the slavery issue you would have thought only we were involved and nobody says much about the african tribes of the time providing them.

TBH I can’t work the benefits system out, the more you pay in the less you get out, I don’t receive the triple lock pension rise as I live in Thailand yet i paid N.I. contributions for 45 years. I pay income tax on my pensions and savings yet I am no burden on the U.K., it appears the less you have contributed the more you get out.

Rejoin a bloc engulfed in economic and political turmoil , start a war with Russia,help out poorer EU countries,open the borders again to another million scroungers..God help us!

The U.K. is currently at ‘war’ with Russia as we are supplying weapons to Ukraine.

And those companies supplying arms to Israel are being targetted by Muslim groups and pro Palestine activist groups!
