You don't need to repeat again Jamie, your opinion on politics is no more valid than anyone else's. Btw do you still think Labour are doing a good job or are they still settling in and blaming the Tory's for everything?

No idea if they are doing a good job, it depends on what political commentators you listen too and believe, ok Burnham might go sooner to implement his own agenda but it would be a huge risk and I am sure many of the backbenchers in less than secure seats would want a G.E.
Andrew Neils take on the economy etc.

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.

One time NATO wouldn’t have got involved in this business at all, both sides had their zones of influence and kept their distance influenced no doubt by the thought of nuclear war.
Nowadays we have politicians openly talking of war with Russia..has the world gone mad…?

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

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.
