I've just seen the footage of Reeve with Starmer and her painted on smile from earlier.

Apparently Starmer had no idea she was crying yesterday, yer rite!!?

If she was having a personal issue then why on earth was she at PMQ's and there again today?

It's fackin embarrassing and shows what a gullible bunch they must think Joe Public are.

Why is a party that will be voted out at the next GE in roughly 4 years putting 10 year plans together!!?

Fek me, she was stood behind him - He wasn't wearing wing mirrors ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was sat down when he wasn't talking (15 to 20 mins), could you be sat next to somebody weeping for that long and not realise?

Come on Boris don't fall for this bollox.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeez, they were in the HOC at PMQ, I'm sure his mind was on other things.

I don't particularly like Reeves, just as I didn't particualrly like Teresa May and I positively loathed Liz Trust but I didn't take any pleasure from seeing them reduced to tears.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nor do I but Starmer is lying again.

Everyday he manages to make a bigger fool of himself and others around him.

Rumours are gathering that Corbyn is considering forming a new proper lefties party, now that would be wonderful and would be exactly what Starmer deserves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That would easily clear the way for utter scuuumbags like farage or perhaps even the tories to return. No one with any brain cells wants that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually love Baz and I want his babies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Give him a fiver and he'll slip you a length.

I’ve not been on this thread that long but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Pawl make a comment that doesn’t refer to Starmer, or is used as a segue into a comment about him.

Quite the obsession.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obsession is a bit strong as I can go days without posting but you're correct in that I generally post about what's going on in the UK and as Starmer is pm he gets the majority of my attention.

I also find it fascinating that there are folk on here who can't admit that he is hopelessly out of his depth and has no emotional intelligence even though it's painfully obvious.

I think had Reeves not been present in the commons these last 2 days, we would have had more turbulence in the markets. Her presence seems to have a calming effect. So Pawl that might be why she was there.

Having read a couple autobiographies of PMs which talk about PMQs and how hyper-focused and stressful it can be, no doubt exacerbated by the shambles that the Labour government got themselves into wrt this bill, I can well imagine that Starmer was not focused on Reeves, particularly if she wasn’t talking to him during it.

Every party in government looks at long term plans. It would be absolutely bizarre not to. Infrastructure, large scale change, strategic aims, these are all things that can take more than one term in government to achieve. To suggest that a party that MIGHT get voted out in 4 years time (which would apply to any party in government in UK) wouldn’t have plans stretching out past their term is ludicrous.

Your obsessive comments with him pre-date the 2024 election when he was not PM. I wonder, given the certainty with which you’re predicting that labour won’t form the next government, whether your attention will turn to who you believe will be the next PM, and we can enjoy your obsessive critiques of them.

What do you think emotional intelligence is, and why do you not think Starmer possesses it?

Hard left

It’ll be the centre left, mixed-market, social democratic party that Labour is supposed to be.

EXCLUSIVE: I understand Jeremy Corbyn has not agreed to join the new left party with Zarah Sultana yet

He is furious and bewildered at the way it has been launched without consultation.



Lol - great start for the Loony Gaza Party.

These fakin politicans in their early 30s (maybe especially women I don't know) haven't got a fakin clue what they're doing. Just think they can rock up and do whatever they want and say whatever they want, and they'll be like the 'proper' politicians they used to watch on the telly and see in the newspapers.
Same with Badenoch. Fakin clueless.

this is serious.

‘Newly-built social housing in England will be exempt from Right to Buy for 35 years, under government plans to further scale back the policy.

Social tenants will also have to live in their properties for much longer before qualifying for the scheme, which allows them to buy at a discount.

Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook said it would help local authorities "protect much-needed social housing stock" and build new homes at scale…

The government said the longer period would ensure councils do not lose homes before they can recover costs from building them - noting the "payback period" on most new developments is at least 30 years.

It has also announced new discount rates to sit alongside the cash caps announced at the Budget.
Under the plans, discounts will start at 5% of a property's value, down from 35% for houses and 50% for flats currently.

As now, social tenants will still be able to increase this discount by 1% for every year they live in their property, but only up to a new maximum of 15% of the home's value or the new cash cap, whichever is lower.

Tenants will also have to have lived in their properties for at least ten years before qualifying, up from three years currently.‘

Finally. It won’t help replenish the stock already lost, but hopefully it’ll provide something of a platform to start rebuilding towards a remotely sensible level.

That's more or less what I suggested q couple of weeks ago on here.

Makes perfect sense, let's make social houses homes again instead of a trading commodity.

*replenish the stock lost in of itself.

There still needs to be massive new investment in social housing stock.
