  1. On 9 Sep 2010: Theresa May voted to support the continued deployment of UK armed forces in Afghanistan. Theresa May was also PM for 3 years and now she's rebuking other politicians?

  2.  @Stanley-px3bt  It should have, the funny thing is Trump and Johnson have a lot in common - the same hairdresser - both born in New York - both ineptly handled the pandemic and both would make the world a better place by their absence.

  3. I hope he gets a big kiss from Glasgow...

  4. Boris Johnson has pulled out and no one is more releived than Carrie...

  5. Wild Polio Virus was eradicated in all countries except Asia, why are we suffering problems that less developed and economically poor countries have managed to eradicate?

  6. Unlike bars and sports arenas, there'll be a lot less trouble at these cafes and they will provide a huge boost to state taxes and many new opportunities for small businesses. I just wish we could do the same in Britain and have a vote on legalisation and allowing cafes like this.

  7. They'll find a loophole or change legislation to suit themselves. Imagine how much better this country would be if those in parliament just had one job, being a politician that they took seriously. Imagine how corruption would diminish if MPs couldn't use their position for profit and instead of taking lobbyists money they made decisions based on their constituents' wishes.

  8. Tories and their Brexit. This has been on the cards for a while. Yes DUP are dinosaurs but this was inevitable.

  9. The thing I love about HS2 is that it's a good way to waste taxpayer money and avoid investing in the North, the NHS or resolving the working poverty that 1/3rd of the workforce live in...

  10. Is it solar-related by any chance?

  11. Aw bless, they understand us little people, our struggles with hunger and poverty, the worries of eviction and homelessness, the mass unemployment and global financial depression looming that we all dread...

  12.  @romeolarenzo3929  That is partly true, but the cost of living and inflation hit those with the lowest income hardest. It's a disproportionate attack on the poorest members of society.

  13. I would watch it all but unfortunately, I've had my fill of lies, omissions and obfuscations this week...

  14. That's great, now the media campaign to free Julian Assange can be started. Unless we want to live in a world where journalists pay the price for war crimes by the state...

  15. I'd just like to say it's a pleasure and a privilege to listen to Gavin Williamson champion education, although coming from a Tory whose party have closed or downgraded 1,240 sure start centres, closed 419 schools and 535 libraries since 2010, I have to admit I trust him about as much as I'd trust Fred West to do my patio...

  16. Free Tory PM in every box of cereal! What they lack in quality they make up for in quantity!
    21
  17. I just think we're lucky those generous Tories have been putting so much money into the NHS and services. I mean imagine the problems we'd be having if they'd been forcing through punishing cuts to the NHS and Public Services to feed corporate greed for the past 10 years...

  18. It's ok it's just the US manifesting its destiny with some 2nd amendment loving American... Land of the free...

  19. It must cost Priti Patel thousands for the enchantments that hide her horns, pointed tail and cloven hooves...

  20. League tables, privatisation and finger-pointing. Let's just go back to the 1970s when the NHS was fully nationalised and properly funded...

  21. I just hope they don't disturb the dragons...

  22. Rich people's problems. Imagine this much effort and time being spent if it was one of the thousands of accidents that affect the average holidaymaker annually...

  23. If the government didn't farm out their responsibility and infrastructure to private enterprise we'd be more self-sufficient as a nation. Instead of being at the mercy of monopolistic corporations.
    21
  24. Dominic Raab pretending this wasn't inevitable after the withdrawal? Still people like Dom and his corporate mates have already made a killing in Afghanistan...

  25. We're always on a downward slope when the Tories are in power, baboom!
    20
  26. Tory MP apologizes for the loss of loved ones while they profited and partied... About as heartfelt as the middle-finger...

  27. Actually, money is infinite as it's a construct, things like precious metals and the Earth's other resources are finite. As is the time allotted to those on NHS waiting lists and the public's patience with untrustworthy politicians...

  28. Social media Trolls? I can't even post government stats from the ONS without my comments being removed. Can't post stats regarding climate change despite deniers being able to post any old crap. How much more authoritarian can social media become?

  29. The cost of living has gone up, the 560% increase in gas bills for instance. This increase won't even meet the current increases in the cost of living...

  30. Energy firms should be nationalised, this extortion has gone on far too long. We need to be self-sufficient as a nation, especially now.

  31. While we don't have any other need for billions, why not spend taxpayer money on the transport of the wealthy. It's not like we have food banks, working poverty and a pandemic!
    20
  32. Levelling up? how come for the past 2 decades we've had austerity and cuts while the rich have hugely increased their wealth? The answer seems like a very simple logistical one!

  33.  George Washington  I'm Welsh and would leave in a heartbeat. A desire for Welsh independence is growing and with the state of Starmer's Labour party, I think I may vote for Welsh independence from now on.

  34. Yet again we underperform as the people struggle and the wealthy make huge profits. It's almost as if there's a connection...

  35. The Tories can't even feed the country, just send the Tories into space. They're the biggest threat to the UK...

  36. @Stalin Take your racism your right-whinge propaganda and your lack of sentience elsewhere, please...

  37.  @jonsimmons4150  ECHR = Right to a fair trial - Right to privacy - Freedom from torture - Freedom of expression - Freedom from slavery - Freedom from discrimination and degrading treatment... Which British lawyers drafted. Yep don't need that!

  38. The thing is Tory MPs should practice social distancing as a rule of thumb, for the sake of the species...

  39. Cheap labour for billionaires is big business. Definitely a unicorn, providing free cash for billionaires by magically exploiting those on the lower rungs of the ladder... The son of a war criminal profiting from apprentices and getting free PR from their mates in the media...

  40. If only we could find the object that ties Priti Patel to this world, and then destroy it. In so doing return her to the underworld from whence she was spawned...

  41. The Tory's answer to Irish diplomatic relations is Cromwellian...

  42. When disaster capitalism meets Tory incompetence and sovereignty...

  43. How's Brexit working out for ya?

  44. Sued? he shot two people on the set that he was director of, he hired people on the cheap and many people said the set was unsafe and walked out the previous week...

  45. To be fair shaking hands and walking are two skills that most people don't fully master until late in childhood...

  46. Misfired a gun with blanks and killed one woman and seriously injured a cinematographer? Sure, whatever...

  47. Red or Blue neoliberalism... Hmmm tough choice...

  48. The petro dollar has left the building...

  49. Who spends that much per annum on energy? how is that going to help the majority of working people? UK power prices have tripled year-on-year from August 2020 (£36/MWh) to August 2021 (£107/MWh) – a jump of £71/MWh. The UK pays £263.99 per megawatt hour in August 2022 and it's still rising. It's around 8x the price it was in 2020...

  50. Seems the 1922 committee get to choose our PM more often than the electorate these days...
