Well, that's an opinion......

100

Where did I say that? You have jumped to that conclusion because I said the Govt was not unpopular in my area.

000

I didn't mention Starmer in my original post, did I? You claimed the Govt was unpopular and I said it wasn't in my area.

Well......... episode 1 of "War" was quite the introduction to the series 😯. I hope it keeps this caustic tone and doesn't become soapy. Looking forward to episode 2.

000

I wonder what happened to Reform in the meantime? If anyone suggests Andy Burnham, I'll vomit.

010

Sorry, it is/was not unpopular in my area of east London. The additional child care hours and breakfast clubs have really saved families money.

200

The Govt wasn't failing. That was the media's fable. The manifesto pledges were being delivered, the relationships with our neighbours were being repaired, and Rachel Reeves was delivering stability in an unstable world. I know everyone loves Burnham, but his inheritance wasn't on par with July '24.

Well, I will start receiving my state pension in a couple of years and I think the triple lock did its job and should be abolished. As long as we ensure that the pension doesn't become dangerously devalued as it did in the past, it's not needed anymore.

000

Because that's how the MAGA/Fox News playbook works. Teach people to be angry & dismissive about everything proposed by "named individual"/political party. It certainly worked with Rachel Reeves.

000

The power of a northern accent, eh?

000

The bravery to confirm that he is continuing with a manifesto pledge to introduce a Natl Care Service free at the point of delivery (pg100)?

001

Well, that's why the foundation of a Natl Care Service was in the 2024 manifesto and Baroness Casey was charged with reviewing the current delivery of care services. It was a party issue throughout the GE campaign.

100

That won't change unless they also address the privatisation of care homes. The largest portion of the cost (bed & board) will still need to be paid by the individual, going by the information released today.

000

The power of a northern accent when talking about your working class family. Never underestimate it.

000

What should he have done? Spell it out. I'm not interested in what he shouldn't have done. That's a cop out.

100

Well, we didn't like honesty as it was depressing. Hope and good vibes don't really fit with readying ourselves for.... something. We act like toddlers, the Govt will treat us like toddlers.

But it's More in Common, it must be true. Just like all their polling showing Reform winning a clear majority in the next GE, even though their own polling showed voters would tactically vote anyone but Reform to stop Farage becoming PM.

Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

Like what? What should he have done, exactly?

140

Really? How? In this Parliament? Without funding?

100

That's because Baroness Casey's review doesn't report it's findings until next year. Try again.

000

Does he plan on doing a TikTok about it?

000

He needs to be much stronger about this because he also needs to confront the BBC about describing him as an 'anti-migrant activist'.

000

Nigel Farage was NEVER going to be PM and the sooner we stop pretending he was the better we'll be able to actually confront the threat of the violent right wing thugs on our streets.

010

Actually they're not his plans. The pledge is laid out on Pg 100 of the 2024 manifesto and is tied to Baroness Casey's review. He really isn't the Messiah you are all so keen to make him out to be.

2111

I think that's why it was included in the 2024 manifesto (Pg 100), which everyone seems to be disregarding.

110

Well it's all in the manifesto from 2024, including reform/modernisation in this Parliament before creation of an NCS in the next and beyond.

120

FFS, it wasn't "proposed by Burnham". It's in the Labour party's 2024 manifesto.

This is a bandwagon Lord Glasman will energetically fling himself on whilst still trying desperately to make "lanyard class" catch on beyond the Spectator and Newsnight.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

Any chance of any journalism rather than stenography concerning the Police matter? Oh no, I forgot that only applies to the centre or left wing parties 🙇.

For me 'Widow's Bay' came out of nowhere and became a weekly favourite from episode 1. The cast were fabulous across the board and it's mix of comedy and dread were just so refreshing it was must see TV in my house.
