What does that mean?

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 4h

I listened back but I think they must have cut it

Our media:

Tony Blair met with Epstein 6 years before he was known to be a pedophile. Full coverage.

Nathan Gill admits to 8 counts of treason last week. Silence.

Reform doesn’t have many policies. But it has one :

to cut public spending by £274bn.

That’s more than five times Liz Truss's unfunded tax measures.

Good question

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 23h

Unless there’s an agreement to wait until investigations have completed maybe?

Revolute might go same way as Dyson

Brits don’t like tax dodgers

The very worst PM to ever hold office. He should be prosecuted. He is a disgrace.

There will be NO requirement to have the digital ID on you at any point.

The ONLY mandatory element to it is use it within a Right to Work check.

Every word is correct

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 2d

Tip of the week: you cannot believe the negativity about Labour reported in the Guardian or any of the right wing rags. Especially if no one is named as a source. It’s lies, lies and damned lies.

Our media have failed us.

Starmer’s had a really productive trip to India. 10,600 jobs secured. Including 200+ for Wales. And huge market opened up for Scotch Whisky. It’s so refreshing to have a PM who consistently delivers for his Country 👏👏👏

Brexit is not the responsibility of Labour and they’ve done a lot to make trading easier. Labour have done a lot to support small businesses too. Some sadly won’t make it whichever government is in control

Oh do give over

From FT: positivity on the economy.

It has become fashionable to express Eeyorish views on the state of the UK economy. But amid talk of rising debts and falling growth, there’s a more reassuring diagnosis: things are, at worst, solidly mediocre, and maybe not bad at all.

Households are also more willing than they were to make big purchases. Young people are particularly optimistic, the index shows. This shouldn’t be surprising. Inflation hit hard in 2022, but wages have now been rising faster than prices for more than two years.

The UK’s animal spirits may not be driven by record highs in the stock market, unlike the US where share ownership is more widespread. But the housing market is helping. Interest rates are falling, while various indices show prices rising.

This is filtering down to companies, with signs of higher demand for large discretionary purchases such as cars, kitchens and sofas. New car registrations jumped almost 14 per cent year on year in September, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Yorkshire-based settee specialist DFS just reported its first year of revenue growth since 2022, with like-for-like orders up 10 per cent.

Britain is NOT broken

The numbers tell the story:

- £63 billion secured in new global investment,
- 69,000+ jobs created,
- £23.8 billion in landed projects.

Labour’s stable, pro-growth approach is rebuilding Britain’s economic credibility. #Labour

We were hacked off that we were considered essential workers and had to meet people and go into their homes when we were all terrified. Just so Sunak could keep the market going. We were only businesses open on the High Street.

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 3d

* Sellers put up asking price. Doh!!

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 3d

I worked as an Estate Agent during the COVID years. When Sunak gave a Stamp Duty break. Result was buyers put up their asking prices. When it ended in a mad dash for completions, those prices dropped back.

Message to Police:

A good use of AI would be to create a database of men who are ‘intimidating, aggressive and controlling’ towards women. Because in that list will be 80% of your terrorists, murderers and thoroughly depraved people.

Then keep watch on them. It’s always a sign

I’m the same. But I support the decision by Labour. And I’m not a rich pensioner by a long shot.
