Honestly mate in the context of what Johnson has actually run away from in the past, the country falling to pieces and a substitute with minimal notice outdebating Johnson embarrassingly, it just looks odd to make so much of Starmer isolating on government advice. What could he possibly be scared of when this government is ****ing it up on every plausible and some previously implausible fronts? Imagine the furore you lot would express your faux outrage about if it emerged he’d ignored someone in his house having symptoms to be in Parliament.
Yes that would have been a funny, crazy scenario. Maybe he should do a press interview for the public defending his decision to follow government guidelines.
That’s all it will only be .. a practise. He will never be PM. People find him boring and wooden. It won’t happen but keep dreaming.
You might not find him boring but he will never be a PM. According to many on here the Tories are having a mare so Labour should be miles ahead ( even Blair said Labour should be 20 points in front)... however they are trailing in the reliable polls. People just don’t like Starmer. Agree for some Boris is a Buffoon, a muppet Who talks a load of waffle, but people like him Bob. Bojo is popular and you need charisma to be PM (bar Major) and Starmer doesn’t have it.
I see that reprehensible scrote Tom Watson who was so anti-gambling has become an 'advisor' to Paddy Power and SkyBet nice work if you can get it. He was also the universally popular choice as Chair of UK Music, many of whose members were victims of his 'noncefinder' campaign. Another example of how money falls into the laps of incompetents just because they once were in government...
Remind us how much was spaffed up the wall for those cannons, was it more or less than the garden bridge? only in politics can you move from one huge **** up to another and continue to be promoted way beyond your capabilities, Boris has mastered that!
Probably not as much as the clear up and policing of the soap dodgers. As for promotions... I know a few politicians that have been rewarded for failure... it’s not just Boris
Me too Bob...In fact I’ve gone back on my previous thought (I know, I’ve done a ‘Johnson) and will now be supporting Starmer and his more centre/left party as I feel he is now the man for leading the country out of this Tory created mess. Comes over infinitely better than that shaggy haired buffoon
that's an awful rate of savings please log in to view this image Lord Samuel Jack - Control The Tortoise please log in to view this image @SamuelJJack · Sep 17 1 in 3 Brits have less than £1,000 in savings and the UK average is £8,900. Illegal immigrants coming to the UK can afford to pay £5,000 to enter the country. Illegals have 5 times more than 1 in 3 Brits in cash and 56.18% of the UK average in cash. Not exactly hard up!
European Parliament votes for new taxes in EU to repay recovery borrowing By Reuters Staff 2 Min Read FILE PHOTO: European Union flags flutter outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium August 21, 2020. REUTERS/Yves Herman BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Parliament voted on Wednesday in favour of assigning new tax revenues to the European Union to repay the bloc’s intended joint borrowing of 750 billion euros ($888 billion) for economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Lawmakers voted 455 votes in favour and 146 against, with 88 abstentions, to introduce new sources of revenue - so called “own resources” - to the EU budget that should at least cover the costs related to the recovery plan. They could include a tax on unrecycled plastic and on goods imported into the EU from countries with less ambitious climate-change fighting standards. Also under consideration is taxing digital giants and extending an EU CO2 emissions trading scheme into the maritime and aviation sectors. Leaders hope the 750 billion euro recovery fund and its related 1.1 trillion euro 2021-2027 budget will help repair the continent’s deepest recession since World War Two after the coronavirus outbreak shut down economies. Wednesday’s vote enables governments to decide on granting the EU budget new “own resources” and for parliaments in the 27 members to ratify it, which would enable the executive Commission to start borrowing the money. “We will now ensure that the debt is repaid by tech giants, tax dodgers, big foreign polluters and others who do benefit from our single market but do not contribute fairly to our prosperity and the protection of our planet,” said French liberal MEP Valerie Hayer, a co-rapporteur on the issue.
