  2.  @ChristineRead-ck1uq  Can't say I'm a fan of Liz Truss by any measure, but what concerns me is there is what the Italians call 'an external constraint' on our democratically elected governments. Ok up to a point, but who exactly are they and to whom are they accountable?

  5. Starmer might be many things - I personally can't abide the man - but he is NOT illegitimate....not in the electoral sense anyway. The FPTP electoral system, IMHO, sucks the fat one, but once we go down that road we're asking for trouble. Don't like the current system? Then campaign to change it or vote for someone who will, otherwise we just have to accept its 'gifts' and suck it up.
