Trying to protect Starmer behind the corruption he is part of and, in the case of Mandelson, supported and enabled. Using the repetition of lies to create a simulacrum of truth and deceive the populace. Truly despicable.

Starmer: "Because everyone was elected as a Labour MP on the manifesto of change and everybody needs to deliver as a Labour government" So when does the change bit start? - all we've seen so far is an exacerbated continuation of the establishment status quo. link.news.inews.co.uk/view/64d3712...

"Labour is having to make choices which will alienate many of its natural allies and that will fray many of its traditional connections" Nope: Labour is wilfully choosing to follow a path that ... It's not being forced to do so. link.news.inews.co.uk/view/64d3712...

Trump accidentally provides an accurate description of the nature of American diplomacy “the job of the U.S. Armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun.” yep. that sums it up.

thing is, everything he says is true - it's just that he doesn't clarify that the 'people' he is referring to are larry fink, peter thiel and the silicon valley techbros, not the uk public

One wouldn't expect economic literacy from someone who appears to believe that the way to enrich a nation is to impoverish its populace and destroy and auction its public infrastructure and services and is so up herself that she actually believes her job gives her a right to to sell off our nation.

"More specifically, it is striking that, the ‘reset’ notwithstanding, Starmer’s government’s approach to Brexit sounds very similar to Badenoch’s, and, actually, to Rishi Sunak’s ... boilerplate Brexiter stuff" chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/five...

which, doesn't say much, given contraction in Germany etc. The OECD outlook is less rosy, see below. Growth is simply not going to magically generate the spending needed in the UK public sector - the state has to do that.
