  1. He was a fair speaker mostly and I think the legend Dennis Skinner may have charmed him over the years to be more disposed to Labour. But considering Starmer is taking the Labour party further right of centre it's no surprise former Tories will find Labour more appealing. Unfortunately, that leaves the general public with little choice between red or blue flavoured neoliberalism.

  2. So generous this Government, so good to the people of Britain that some of us can now eat occasionally...

  3. lol throwing them is a bit silly. Not enough momentum...

  4.  @davewalker3873  The magic money tree is the British public's taxes. They just dig into our back pockets, they've already borrowed £1 trillion in the past 10 years and are now adding £300 billion. Most of that will go to corporations and billionaires via corporate welfare, subsidies and to pay incompetent contractors that have connections to top Tories. It's always us who pays.

  5. People are struggling and the Tories are still diverting our hard-earned taxes to their mates...

  6.  @JesterEric  Worked well until Thatcher brought in privatisation. We never had our national infrastructure run for profit before then, all profit went back into the infrastructure and reducing costs to the public.

  7. Taxes should be spent on UK infrastructure and the taxpayers - to make their life better. Our taxes more often go to think tanks, shareholders and shadowy groups to keep the Tories in power and to top up their mate's offshore accounts...

  8. Stop their slaves from expelling gas?

  9. Agreed, this smacks of a set up. Lawyers and Solicitors acting illegally? The source is an allegation from the Daily Fail, nuff said...

  10. I wonder if domestic violence is related to the closure of women's refuges, the loss of 5,000 mental health workers, the loss of 22,500 police officers and the extraordinarily low rates of conviction in crimes against women? All due to Tory cuts and policy...

  11. Just tell us how the petrodollar is doing, is it ok? That's more important than human life. Priorities!

  12. The exclusion of the poor from schooling has been steadily increasing under the Tories in the past decade or so. The Tories have closed or downgraded 1,240 sure start centres, closed 419 schools and closed 535 libraries in the past decade, and these figures are about 2 years old. The Tories have no desire to have an educated workforce, they just want cash cows who consume and give the Tories obedient consent to continue their elitist agenda.

  13. They may not be delivering on NHS commitments, but they are consistent in that they haven't delivered on anything. Well, except for increasing the rates of homelessness, poverty and health problems... They have also done a great job of crashing the economy and ensuring the cost of living crisis extends into the foreseeable future...

  14. lol erm what? Fair enough. Despite being wanted on crimes against Britain and humanity, he's actually right on this.

  15.  @gtingaming716  Thanks for that asinine comment, negates the need for me to provide an intelligent response...

  16. Vacant celebs being worshipped by the poor while they indulge in every excess known to humanity and their handlers do far worse... An Indictment on the species...

  17.  @Brodie-dj8hf  The Good Friday Agreement is to protect both sides from the escalation of violence. The Tories have risked that precarious peace. I'm not going to get dragged into some pathetic partisan argument. My point is related to Tory duplicity and ignorance...

  18. Brings a tear to my eye and breaks my heart to see all those beautiful British people flag-waving and grovelling to their genetic and intellectual superiors - the aristocracy...

  19. Here's some less uplifting news. Worldwide authoritarian governments on the rise, huge financial depression on the horizon, moving towards cashless / contactless society, more invasive surveillance from governments and Trump wants to have a crack at Chyynna. Still we're just a speck of dust on one of a billion planets like ours in the universe, so cheer up!

  20. Taxpayer bailouts continue to flow, while taxpayers can't afford food, rent, mortgages and energy. But we're always happy to bail out the wealthy shareholders...

  21. Tied to the sinking ship of Tory corporatocracy...

  22. I was just reading the bit in the Geneva convention where it says "prohibiting the deliberate or indiscriminate attack of civilians and civilian objects in the war-zone", do I need to report a war crime?

  23. Thatcherism is the reason we have privatisation destroying services and costing the taxpayer a small fortune, the reason workers have no rights and we are all on agencies, low wages and zero-hour contracts. Common sense Thatcherism? Never heard such a blatant disregard for an obvious oxymoron...

  24.  @jpw6893  China alerted the WHO to the Virus on Dec 31st, who put out information to call for social distancing and quarantines. The WHO released a statement in January advising countries to: "have strong measures to detect disease, isolate and treat cases, trace contacts, and promote social distancing measures" Boris decided to miss five Cobra security meetings about the virus and leave airports open until a few days ago.

  25. Afghanistan: Taliban's new cabinet includes dodgy mugshots lol

  26. Have tensions between Russia and the UK prompted this?

  27. The illogic of using racism to counter racism...

  28. Or Ed Gein offering to reupholster your chairs, "No skin off my back!"

  29. Finance is so complicated these days and with the addition of AI too easy to manipulate. The current system has failed to be effective at resource logistics, instead creates a superclass while the majority of people don't have access to basic resources and modern technology.

  30. Such a caring and considerate intellectual philanthropist who speaks with such eloquence, compassion and charm. /s obvs...

  31. I hope he's alright, and I hope he didn't disturb the dragons. While we don't often talk about the dragons with outsiders, that is surely the only reason for a person to be delving into caves during November. I remember visiting a dragon on its birthday when I was younger, you should have seen the poor thing trying to blow out the candles on its cake...

  32. By invading other countries for 2 decades supporting the US petrodollar wars and then refusing the fleeing migrants entry?

  33. I think the main problem is Brexit, Tories, Covid, Tories, Cronyism, Tories, Incompetence, Tories...

  34. Democracy? that's a funny way to describe it...

  35. Excellent news, let's accelerate the end of the species. We've done enough environmental damage, hopefully, a more sapient species will become dominant in our absence...

  36.  @Daniel-gs9eh  Really? Considering unemployment payments are only £1.56 billion per annum while corporate tax dodging costs the taxpayer £40-120 billion per annum and corporate welfare and subsidies cost the taxpayer over £100 billion per annum (even more after this budget), I'd say the rich are fleecing the poor's taxes to top up their offshore bank accounts...

  37. Johnson is a Johnson. Economic euthanasia wielding entitled simpleton asset-stripping the country and allowing the poor to die because he was breastfed privilege and elitist doctrine from the moment the little blond b@stard popped out with his silver foot in his mouth...
    7
  38. Yes, it's because the Tories are such globally-minded humanitarian philanthropists, and certainly not psychotic insular kleptocrats...
    7
  39. What's the motivation for this obvious unpolitical target? who was the person who died, a doctor, a nurse? an NHS whistleblower? or simply a husband visiting his wife? I'm not suggesting anything, just asking questions...

  40. Tory-lite - they haven't had working-class people's priorities at heart since Blair dropped clause 4...

  41. Tories screw the North yet again, The North remembers! - support for the North from Wales!

  42.  JOE FABULOUS  Farage looks like the product of despicable relations between Kermit the frog and Hitler...

  43.  @dime4026  That's what I'd have said if I couldn't think of anything intelligent or witty to type...

  44. ...and a kick in the teeth for low-income Brits. With 1/3rd of the working population already in working poverty.

  45. Tories know all about assisted dying... Ask the vulnerable and disabled.
    7
  46. Outsourcing, For-profit organisations, Debt, Staff shortage, Overpriced pharma contracts - all enabled by the Tories. The majority of the NHS budget (taxpayers' money) goes to shareholders!

  47. So seriously he ignored medical advice and forced higher rates of infections in care homes and society...

  48. and at least the Petrodollar can now sleep safely at night...

  49. Correction "Daft COP agreement published" which will continue to provide profit at the expense of our children's future...

  50. He's right. But he's also a centrist neoliberal and almost as bad as the Tories. Red or Blue flavoured neoliberalism?
