BIUT, BUT, BUT Labour were Elected BECAUSE they promised that they would PROTECT the rights and jobs of BRITISH worker and not increase their tax burden
How many promises is that they have broken so far
Yet the BBC say this...
The UK's Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the deal would make it easier for people with certain skills to work in the UK temporarily.
"It opens up a small number of visas from an existing route for chefs and musicians and yoga teachers, very, very small, about 1,800."

It amuses me the way Jonathan Reynolds is clearly trying to play down the number (very, very, small) which suggests there is something to hide.

I think it's good to do a deal with a population the size of India, but Keir has been under pressure the last few days, and it makes me wonder if this has been pushed through as a distractor and I'm seeing holes in it, the question is am I happy to accept those holes for the trade off...well I got no choice but you get what I mean.
well knowing us we won't be doing any due diligence on the reciprocal part of the double contribution exemption so far more than should will claim it .
The Sucky's of this world making out all their employees are indian to avoid the tax burden.
I don’t think we need a heads up that people trying to get into politics are devious sex cases mate, they’re all perverts
Conclave starts later today, no idea who are the favourite candidates but give it to an Italian cardinal, hopefully a young one, not some guy in his late 60's +
Quick google says that Giorgio Marengo is one of the youngest at 51, give it to him.

I googled the question:
AI Overview
No, a woman cannot be the Pope in the Catholic Church. The papacy is traditionally reserved for men due to the Church's teachings on priestly ordination and the historical tradition of only men being chosen as apostles by Jesus.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Ordination:
In the Catholic Church, only men can be ordained as priests, and ordination is a prerequisite for becoming a bishop, which is a requirement for being a candidate for the papacy.
- Tradition:
The Church's tradition of male-only ordination is based on the belief that Jesus only chose male apostles and that this tradition has been maintained throughout history.
- Pope John Paul II's Statement:
In 1994, Pope John Paul II formally stated that the door is closed to women's ordination and that the Church's teaching on the matter remains unchanged.
- Pope Francis's Confirmation:
Pope Francis has reiterated this position, affirming the Church's continued adherence to the tradition of male-only ordination.
- Legend of Pope Joan:
There is a legend about a female pope named Pope Joan, who allegedly ruled for a few years in the 9th century, but this story is widely considered a myth.
I think this is one of the problems also with having older Popes, it was Pope John Paul II that denied women access in 1994, he was 58 years old at the time. I think it would help if it was governed by younger minds and ones that include women, this would hopefully also aid in repairing the damage caused by past abuse cases and make the church appear more welcoming.
I'm sure someone would give me a religious reason why it can't be so, but I think if it was done for the right reasons it would help in a modern world to create a better image of the church. Afterall whether it be Catholic or CoE, something needs to be done to stop what I see as the erosion of Christianity. Everytime I look at the church I just see old people, for me that's the wrong image and will just lead to it's eventual demise.
I give you Reverend Pippa White, 29, attempting to change that image...
