Labour will not sweep to power on a wave of optimism like they did with a(then) charismatic Tony Blair but atm they’ll get by with Starmer. He seems decent and honest enough which in comparison to what we’ve had for the last 12(but especially the last 3) years means he’ll probably lead a coalition government. A change of direction is in the air, the electorate...

Labour will not sweep to power on a wave of optimism like they did with a(then) charismatic Tony Blair but atm they’ll get by with Starmer.
He seems decent and honest enough which in comparison to what we’ve had for the last 12(but especially the last 3) years means he’ll probably lead a coalition government.
A change of direction is in the air, the electorate have had a bellyful of Conservatism, high tax, high cost of living, low pay, corporate greed, broken Brexit promises, lies and corruption.
The state of British politics has never been in such dire straits
and our parliament has become a laughing stock to the rest of the world.
Unions are now becoming mainstream news, having been muted for so long and people are realising the elite and the government are taking them for mugs.
Mick Lynch is right, there’ll be a wave of sympathetic industrial action in the coming months, a perfect storm for such has been created by this woeful government.

//Fatt: I think you'll find that the state of British politics was far worse in 1979.//
How so? I was 14 but I don’t recall any news stories about government lies, illegally proroguing parliament, a Prime Minister breaking his/her own rules?
I certainly don’t recall one with such a propensity for forgetfulness, having such memory loss when asked about a predatory sex lest in high party office?
I recall the Thorpe affair being a major scandal but can’t recall the government changing the rules to protect an MP caught in a lobbying scandal until Hamilton was found out.
I wasn’t born until after the Profumo scandal but it appears mild in comparison to what the former Foreign Secretary got up to with a former KGB chief recently.
So please tell me in what respect politics and the reputation and worldwide standing of the Houses of Parliament was far worse in 1979, I’m all ears!

//And journalists, writers and politicians speak to 'former KGB' operatives all the time.//
Maybe the first two but when politicians do(very few indeed) they’re supposed to do so with their security detail and intelligence officers present, but especially so after a NATO summit specifically dealing with heightened tensions with Russia.
I guess someone forgot that minor detail, didn’t he? He does that so often, forgets he’s at a party, forgets he appointed a sexual predator with traits of such known behaviour and forgets about meeting ex KGB officers.
No wonder he’s had so many affairs and children, he probably forgets where he lives or who he’s supposed to be married to!

This has been said before and I asked then and nobody answered. I'll try again, who is laughing at us?
Or is it a case of something else being plucked out of the air with not a shred of proof and just wishful thinking on your part?

Tell me in what way the HoC are seen as a bastion of decency, truth and honesty under the current government, Vulcan?
As for the rest, maybe ToraToraTora would like to address the questions I raised in my previous posts? We’re labelled poltroons and 5Cers yet he fails to understand that the biggest 5Cer is Johnson, with his links to Russian money, ex KGB agents and his mate, Lord Lebedev of Hampton and Siberia!
Most of them come from him anyway, in one guise or another.
