I say again. Starmer had to be strong armed, lobbied or "nudged" into scrapping this. That he dares to claim to have a microcosm of compassion in his little finger is an absolute abomination.
Look at Labour's treatment of Disabled People and the forthcoming benefit cuts for details.

Labour had to be lobbied, nay, bullied to putting together anything resembling helpful policies for those struggling. Too busy, like Farage in courting big corporations.

New year wishes to you and as for O'Brien, watch out for mysterious Policemen.

I remember 12 hour days! 🫩 Hope you catch up soon and good wishes for the year to come.

Manchester slightly depresses me now. All those Ivory towers. One week there's a characterful ornate red brick historical building, next week there's a 200 floor stainless steel behemoth.

Oh for a bit of "financial" balance You read that if people were paid more in the first place, as wages having stagnated for years, we'd all be better off.

Only just bumped into it recently. The poor Reliant is holding up well, considering. You do read that the Chinese had rebuilt a lot of roads in Africa in exchange for lots of minerals to keep us in the phones to which we've become accustomed. Not so many on their route!

Darn it! Always forget to check out The Dukes What's On list!
Hope all went well.
I just bumped into this in my photos. Seems like only yesterday!

Used to be the case that Nuclear was pretty well subsided too - and they still have found somewhere to bury that waste.

You forgot "Now is not the time!" 😉

If she'd said this from the start, it would have been believable, but right now it's hers and Starmer's hypocrisy and clutching at straws. Because some of us knew Brexit was a stupid thing in 2016.

It's not a Labour Government. That's why.

Pity

2008 here we go again.
Or will it be 1992 and all that

Funny. She's been shaking something then to keep her paymasters happy. 🤔
