    No but you're the typical Lefty Loony that hates Britain and everything it stands for so you should **** off there. Perhaps you could wax lyrical about net zero in one of those countries and see how long you last <laugh>

    Labour was in policy disarray last night after Sir Keir Starmer appeared to drop his pledge to nationalise the railways – before performing a U-turn hours later.

    The party has abandoned pledges on nationalising rail, mail, water and energy companies, as they had promised under Mr Corbyn before the 2019 general election.

    Yesterday morning Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves said renationalisation was no longer compatible with Labour's 'fiscal rules'.

    Earlier, Miss Reeves had said that 'spending billions of pounds on nationalising things' does not fit within Labour's fiscal guidelines.

    She also said nationalisation was a 'commitment in a manifesto that secured our worst result since 1935 [in the 2019 general election]' – one that has now been 'scrapped'.

    Speaking in Liverpool later, Sir Keir backed his frontbencher, saying he would reject an 'ideological' position and instead take a 'pragmatic' approach to the issue.

    But he was forced to clarify his position last night, saying that Labour would stick with the pledge he ran for the party leadership on to nationalise the railways in government.

    How ironic. It's been pointed out time and again on here that the virtue signalling ****ers tie themselves up in knots trying to shoe-horn their ideology into being credible, despite all the factual evidence to the contrary.

    In the latest one, Stonewall have yet aging been found guilty of racial and sexual discrimination.

    Don’t buy the Stonewall line on gender identity? Fine. You can’t be sacked for that now

    The employment tribunal last week found that Garden Court Chambers discriminated against and victimised its tenant Allison Bailey on account of her “gender critical” beliefs.

    It is the second such finding of discrimination by the courts in a month, after they ruled that Maya Forstater was denied work by the thinktank CGD Europe because she articulated her belief in the scientific reality that someone’s biological sex is real and immutable.

    The information commissioner has also found that Stonewall operates a “significant degree of influence” over members of its workplace index, in which organisations compete to show how aligned they are with its worldview.
    Universities are supposed to be bastions of academic freedom, senior QCs defenders of rights. It is extraordinary the extent to which they and others – including the BBC, government agencies and the police – have been captured by a controversial ideology that pushes the view that sex is irrelevant in law and society.

    (It turns out Stonewall has a track record of targeting the employers of gender-critical black lesbians; Lucy Masoud has discovered that it secured a meeting with her employer at the time, the London Fire Brigade, that was preceded by internal discussion of “how to tackle her.”)

    Gender-non-conforming behaviour is something to be celebrated, rather than the basis for teaching children that they may have been born in the wrong body, as some schools now do. There are many reasons why children and young people may experience gender dysphoria: it may be a sign that a child will go on to have a fixed trans identity in adulthood, but can also be associated with discomfort about puberty, grappling with same-sex attraction and childhood trauma. There is a coincidence with autism.

    Yet the NHS has ignored this in embracing gender ideology’s unevidenced affirmative model and has put growing numbers of young people on the path of irreversible medical treatment that can make them infertile and has potentially significant risks for their brain and physical development, without adequately exploring the reasons for their gender dysphoria.

    Obviously he'll do the honourable thing.

    Keir Starmer found to have breached MPs’ code of conduct

    An inquiry into the Labour leader was opened in June by Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary standards commissioner, relating to claims about the late declaration of earnings and gifts, benefits or hospitality from UK sources.

    Speaking at the time, Sir Keir said he was “absolutely confident” that he had not broken the MPs’ code of conduct.

    The commissioner has now found that the leader of the Opposition failed to register eight interests - five more than the ones alleged in the original complaint.

    Hmm, I wonder why the play group thread are desperately trying to flood it with even more drivel than usual. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I've heard Starmer is a man of integrity. He's broken the MP's code of conduct so he'll be resigning any second now...

    He failed to declare a seat in the box at Crystal Palace ffs. Probably thought it was a punishment.

    I had no idea what it was all about, until I read your comment - I wonder what Steve Parish is up to then, he's highly critical (rightly so) of the big six. Hmmm, interesting and Starmer is an Arsenal supporter.
