  3.  @sueday4131  So immediate name and shame, perhaps? No right to a fair trial? Ironic since you hard-righters quote 1215 Magna Carta as something to be proud of!

  6. His assertions were not to defend the government. It seems you didn't understand. Instead of explaining you use typical right-wing tactic of diversion.

  9.  @golfbulldog  The right-wing media (Talk TV, GB News, Daily Mail, Daily Express) are demanding answers as to why Prevent failed to “prevent” recent criminal acts, with Mike Graham claiming that “Prevent is not fit for purpose.” Prevent has suffered significant funding cuts under successive Conservative governments, including a reported (in March 2024) reduction in London boroughs receiving funding from 22 to seven by April 2025, effectively halving its budget in the capital. Despite this, these outlets absurdly blame Keir Starmer, just three weeks after taking office, for failing to address the issue – a classic right-wing tactic of managed decline followed by claims of it not being "fit for purpose". While Graham is correct that Rudakubana was charged with producing ricin in October 2024, after the Southport attack on 29th July 2024, and pleaded guilty to all charges on 20th January 2025, even a stopped clock is right twice a day! * How might the framing of Prevent’s effectiveness by right-wing media outlets influence public perception of the programme, and to what extent could this shift accountability away from the long-term policy decisions of successive governments* ?

  11. @ It’s easy to dismiss the Labour government’s efforts if you’re only hearing the media’s spin, but the government has made some real progress across critical areas. From tackling corruption and reducing the court backlog to addressing housing and environmental issues, these are meaningful steps. While no government is perfect (and Starmer certainly has his critics), the narrative that Labour has done “nothing” or made things worse doesn’t hold up against the facts. The key question is: how do we get more people to see beyond the headlines and dig into the details? We need better ways to amplify this kind of information so voters can make informed decisions.

  12.  @arranmelaugh5606  No fan of Starmer, but here are a few things that the Labour government has been doing that the media has not been reporting: Summary of Labour Government Reforms (December 2024) Anti-Corruption and Legal Reforms 🔹Anti-Corruption Unit: A new Domestic Corruption Unit established by the Home Office and City of London Police. 🔹Legal Aid Funding: Increased funding for criminal legal aid (+12%) and fees for police station and youth court work (+£24 million). Plans to consult on civil legal aid fees. 🔹Court Backlog: 2,000 additional Crown Court sitting days planned, the highest in a decade. Local Government and Housing 🔹Council Funding: A £69 billion funding package with a real-terms increase of 3.5%, including a £600 million Recovery Grant and £3.7 billion for social care. 🔹Military Housing: Re-nationalisation of 36,347 military homes to address chronic underinvestment and improve conditions. 🔹Dangerous Cladding: New targets for cladding removal on high-rise buildings by 2029, with accelerated developer repairs by 2027. 🔹Homelessness Support: £10 million emergency fund for rough sleepers and 32 new Homebuilding Skills Hubs for apprenticeships. Support for Veterans and Vulnerable Groups 🔹Veteran Compensation: Up to £70,000 for LGBT+ veterans dismissed due to discrimination (1967–2000). Veteran Housing: Prioritised social housing access and £3.5 million for homeless veteran support. Education and Workforce 🔹School Support: Reinstatement of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body to boost wages and union involvement. 🔹Green Schools: £2 million energy-efficiency pilot in London schools. 🔹Music Opportunities: A scheme for disadvantaged children offering singing and music lessons. Environment and Energy 🔹Clean Power Plan: A roadmap to 95% renewable electricity grid welcomed by environmental groups. 🔹Global Clean Power Alliance: Initiative launched at G20 to accelerate clean energy worldwide. 🔹Zero-Emission Vehicles: £88 million fund for clean vehicle technology. Economic and Social Spending 🔹Business Support: New Business Growth Service launching in 2025 for SMEs. Business rates reduced for small high-street businesses. 🔹Military Pay: Largest pay increase in decades for military personnel. 🔹Mineworker Pensions: Increases to rectify historical pension injustices. Health and Social Care 🔹Hospice Funding: £100 million allocated for buildings, equipment, and accommodation over two years. Justice and Policing 🔹Women’s Justice Board: Established to address gender-specific issues in the justice system. 🔹Police Reforms: Creation of a Police Performance Unit and National Centre of Policing. 🔹Intimate Image Abuse: Strengthened laws to combat abuse. International Policy 🔹Sanctions on Russia: New measures targeting illicit oil vessels. 🔹UK-Germany Defence Pact: Signed to enhance bilateral cooperation. These reforms span a range of areas, addressing social justice, environmental sustainability, and public sector investment. They reflect a shift towards increased government intervention and public ownership in key sectors. How can we make sure we understand what the government is really doing, instead of only believing what the media tells us ?

  13. @ You’re a bampot, but name-calling is pointless if you can’t even explain why I’m wrong!

  14. @ I didn’t vote Labour and have only been a member for two months at university in 1995, but I resigned due to the club's"extreme centrism".

  15. @ What specific evidence or examples lead you to believe the Labour government has failed in these areas? Are those based on firsthand data, independent sources, or media interpretations ? How do you define success in governance, and what benchmarks or comparisons would you use to evaluate whether Labour has met or failed those standards ? Do you think the media provides a balanced representation of political efforts, or might some narratives reflect biases that shape public perception unfairly? How would you verify the claims ?

  16. The UK now has 57 billionaires (4 more than last year), and a 2025 Oxfam report highlights that billionaire fortunes grew three times faster in 2024 than the previous year. This growing concentration of wealth entrenches inequality and deepens the economic divide. Meanwhile, the country continues to bear the scars of 14 years of austerity, which slashed public services to the bone. Consider what we’ve lost: 🔹200 museums 🔹244 courts and tribunals 🔹279 playing fields 🔹451 homeless services 🔹600 police stations 🔹673 public toilets 🔹750 youth centres 🔹793 playgrounds 🔹800 libraries 🔹926 football pitches 🔹1,086 swimming pools 🔹1,416 Sure Start children’s centres 🔹8,000 bus routes 🔹25,000 NHS beds And then we wonder why the economy is in such a state! Austerity has gutted the infrastructure that supports communities, stifling opportunity and hope. What we need are leaders who are truly patriotic - those who will look after the interests of the people, not false patriots like Reform UK, who are only interested in serving billionaire oligarchs.

  18. Because you disagree with him?What is more important in the court of law? The law or opinion? Who wins that argument.

  19. @ An interesting idea! Could you provide examples of legislation passed by the House of Commons that you believe lacked common sense or adequate experience? Additionally, considering the legislative process, how do you think this jury-like selection would handle the scrutiny required, given that bills must go through multiple readings and stages in the Commons before even reaching the Lords? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this system could address those issues effectively.
