How are Labour doing after their first 12 months


  • Total voters
    23
Having watched some of the Labour party conference, and for someone who voted them in power, I'm pretty disgusted to the new low that Starmer has stooped. If I wanted rhetoric politics I'd vote Farage - Today at least two of his high profile MP's engaged in what I'll call name calling.

Now cast your minds back after attacks on MP's remembering there are two dead after those attacks, and also on the back of Angela Rayner referring to Boris Johnson as scum, we were assurred by Starmer that the rhetoric was going to be cleaned up and in short stopped...'Setting the highest of standards in public life is not just about better behaviour or decision-making, though it will improve both.'

Yet today the media are more interested in the name calling, that took place, the very language that Keir promised to kick out of parliament more ot less. Looking at the newspaper reviews and I can see the Daily Mail headline for tomorrow is the day Labour dragged politics into the gutter. And you know what, they are right.

Clearly this has all occurred because the Prime Minister now see's Reform as the threat, I've never seen it like that, but after recent weeks, I'm starting to change my mind. If you want to get dragged into the sewer by Farage and Co, don't be surprised when no one votes for you.

Our next budget is in November, I've constantly asked myself why not in October, why only weeks from Christmas and 3 weeks before Parliament recess, my concern at the moment is nothing to do with the opposition, because the next General Election is 3-4 years away, I'm concerned about what you are going to do to food inflation, how many more people will be pushed onto food banks.

Utterly disgraceful by Labour today. Maybe they have nothing to offer which is why they are going down this road, sadly it will wait until the next politician to be attacked and I'll refer straight back to this day.

Language is important and today it reached a new low.

Did it really reach a new low? Really?

Starmer has been a bit wet and he needs to be noteworthy in his wording in the era we’re in. People don’t care for diplomacy and quietly getting on with the job any more. They want soundbites and catchy slogans and Farage is a big part of that. It’s very on brand for him to make such a meal of it.

because prior to digital ID life in China was all roses.

10 years ago if you wanted to buy a knife(cleaver) for you kitchen, you needed to apply to your local police station and get permission. Having a limited time from buying to getting home.

I missed it. What did he say ?
 
I think this is probably a sensible approach. I don't want to see the Human rights act scrapped as Farage would do, as that tears down all sorts of rights that people have fought for over decades if not centuries. But looking at how some of the laws are interpreted to make legal challenges to deportation makes sense to me.

On the issue of deportation, he was asked about the example of a Brazilian *****phile who successfully claimed he would be treated worse in a Brazilian prison than he would in a British prison.

The prime minister drew a line between deporting someone to "summary execution" and claims based on worse healthcare or prison conditions abroad.

"I believe that those genuinely fleeing persecution should be afforded asylum and that is a compassionate act," he added.

My cleaner got deported. Hadn’t heard from her and turns out she spent three weeks in a detention centre and flown home. Sad times.

Posh bastard for having a cleaner in the first place

And unless she was a Brazilian peadophile, then it seems a little heavy handed.
 
That’s fine. Throw in a “zionazi” to give it another dimension.

I mean it’s not a good look is it. A Zionazi paying £30 per week for ‘services’ from an illegal immigrant, where the bar is ‘as long as they’re not a Brazilian *****…..’

Not read or listened to it, the knife idea aint a bad idea actually. We probably need something similar, just not involving the police.

I don't want soundbites and slogans from my politicians, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same but yes accepted in todays environment it's what happens. Probably not a new low, no. I'm done with all of them tbph, we need a new news distraction, any chance your mob can blow the aid flotilla out of the water, it would be a great help.

Today is the holiest day of the Jewish year. The only one even the least religious adhere to (apart from me as I’m having an illicit coffee right now and going to football later).

Purely coincidentally after a journey of 36 years despite being the great emergency of this century after a bit of partying they’re due today I believe to drop off a couple of packs of baby formula, grab a few pics, have a whinge on Twitter about being abducted and get safely flown home.

I think it’s also the deadline for Hamas to sign the deal. Big day.

AI helps me out here, don't know what it means but...

"G'mar Chatima Tovah"

Edit:

AI Overview


"G'mar chatima tovah" is a traditional Jewish greeting that means "A good final sealing". It is said during the High Holidays, particularly on Yom Kippur, referencing the belief that one's fate for the coming year is "sealed" in the Book of Life. The phrase is sometimes shortened to "G'mar tov," which means "a good seal" or "a good completion".

This is greatly appreciated. Except I’m not using electronic devices today during the fast so I haven’t seen it yet.
