They are pushing the boundaries.. seeing what they can get away with.. When they tried too much in 2024 Starmer crushed them.

If you have a plan can't see why not. Talk to your careers adviser, they may be able to give suggestions. You are likely to be classed as NEET if there is no structure or plan. You will also be a year behind your peers if you intend to do A levels or other course.

Sparrows are now my favourite birds. They cant sing, are clumsy on feeders, make a whirring sound when they fly. But they are enthusiastic!

WE WANT KEIR STARMER TO STAY! As the electorate who voted Keir in, we feel this is morally wrong to forcibly change who we voted for half way. It’s shameful that people think they can just conspire together and kick the elected PM out

Carry on hating a made up hate figure like Starner. It's a lot safer than actually thinking. You and your ilk have no answers just self pity and bile.

Starmer has not trampled on Trans people. The Courts defined the issue not the Government. And Starmer dies not support genocide.. that is nonsense. The Green Party should realise that "From the river to the sea" is itself a genocidal chant not an environmental policy.

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

Seamus Milne , Corbyns chief of staff literally got a medal from Putin. Corbyns statement about Salisbury and Putin was a disgrace. Corbyn also took money from the iranian regime through Press TV. But hey you know about History and politics.

Tom Brian Chapple @tombrian.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
You are talking balderdash. The "left" spent a century plotting against Social Democracy and culminated with Corbyn. A non leader connected via Milne with Putin If you are really radical you should be enraged with the Socialist Left

What's more telling is that Labour did not make anything of his sexuality or ethnicity Because unlike the Momentum Greens they took the high road not the low road.

You are a hypocrite. What made them vote was the Greens going on about Palestine and Modi. I haven't heard of any Green Pamphlets boasting their leader was a gay Jewish Man.

HMRC won't admit how much tax is lost offshore. Major corporations dodge taxes by shifting profits to low/no tax jurisdictions. Wealthy use offshore havens. Opacity means HMRC, Govt and tax abuse industry can't be held to account. Normal people pay more in tax.

HMRC won't admit how much tax is lost offshore
The taxman has the numbers needed to estimate how much cash is lost to overseas havens – but it isn't sharing the details

How is the Fruit and Nut Party doing?.. ooh it's gone. How many Labour MPs are showing solidarity with your "absolute boy" and join his party .. oh its none! Shows what they really think of him. How is the "ludic revolution".. oh its done. You are just a self serving hack.

I am a fan of Starmer and continue to support him. As he was a latecomer to Politics and a highly successful lawyer, I would imagine that a failure would be harder to hear.. but welcome to what the rest of us do Keir!

I would rather Starmer and the labour party focus on issues of controlling wealthy oligarchs and the abuse of democracy and the harm they do to innocent victims. Campaign on those issues. Campaign to join SM. Campaign to have fair society and defence. Stop fighting each other.

I would like to think not all... I think the reason the UK Gov chose Mandelson for US Ambassador is what everyone knows and no one can say. He was a perfect fit for the corrupt orange king. The political bet was that he could retain UK influence and reduce Tarrifs to help UK jobs.

You would think that at least a few would try to be true to what they said when entering Politics. It is as if the whole Republican ideology is a load of bullshit. If Rand Paul is the best one with integrity (even though a Putin fan) then they are really screwed.

Surely the reason he was picked as US Ambassador is because he shared the Epstein connection with Trump. He was the entry to the Court of Trump for the UK Gov. They might not have known how deep he was in for though. Cynical and Naive at the same time.
