Seen it Mark, absolutely disgusting but unfortunately it is and has been a part of political life regardless of the party for years bud. I’ll easy put up a few of the lucrative deals former Labour/LibDem politicians have garnered for themselves, the entire Kinnock tribe for starters. 

It is disgusting, what do you think should be done to stop it happening in the future?

🤷‍♂️No  idea Mark, but I do think the current pressure on normal working people/ families and the profit generated from them is unsustainable. Sadly as we saw in the last few years there is a tendency just to take it in the UK without much opposition etc as opposed to the way the French are currently kicking off. Not much will change if and when Labour get their spell at the helm neither imo.

I agree with all of that. The French have a history of toppling their leaders, is that something you think we should be doing? If we did, who should we call upon to govern us?

No Mark whilst the protests do stir up a lot of attention I’d say the idea of full on anarchy is not that appealing,  I’ve no  idea who we should call on but democracy is as they say the least worst option etc. The current bunch running things are poor that’s for sure and the full on profit at all cost capitalist model is most definitely not working out too well I’d say, at least not here in the UK as we seem to have low tax capitalism for some individuals and businesses at the very top but high tax and stifling regs etc for those small to medium size business and self employed at the bottom or anyone trying to make something of their lives. Im starting to see a lot of good hard working lads start to wonder wtf is the point at the min with current levels of taxation and costs etc. The BOE answer to this is looking like a very poor solution right now too. Think it’s time to buy some more kit rather than have money sitting around, or a few sovereigns pikey style

Scotland's new SNP leader Yousaf: I will challenge UK veto on gender reform bill

The newly elected leader of the Scottish National Party Humza Yousaf said Britain had no right to...

Excellent news for unionists up here, a classic case of utter incompetence being no barrier to progression nowadays. Let him pursue the lunacy that  helped bring down Sturgeon, and see where it gets him with the silent majority of NORMAL people.

Whilst I agree that it bodes well for the Union, I fear the fu**wit will only serve to run the country further into the ground based on his record so far, at a time when we need sensible leadership.

 

I never thought I'd say this but maybe the country will see sense and vote in Labour at the next election - they can't be that much worse than the current holders of power in these parts?

 

Another disappointing thing is that I suspect that Yousaf's govt will be more inclined to paper over the cracks that NS left behind, whereas maybe Forbes might have opened some of them up a bit further.  Time will tell.

Without doubt he will try and protect her so called legacy, he’s held and utterly ****************ed up in several roles under her reign so in reality has no choice but to try and carry the mantle so to speak. You’re right I think Forbes would have let the truth about many things come  out.

If Jeremy Corbyn stands as an independent, Keir Starmer will feel the full force of his mistake

The decision is bizarre and counterproductive

What you see is not what you get with Starmer it would seem.

Sometimes you'd swear that Labour are determined to do everything possible to keep the Tories in power.
