30 mins of Labour bashing on @GMB, not a single other subject discussed
No Tice tax dodging, no Trump, no fuel shortages, nothing
It was like watching GBNEWS but with more viewers
#GMB
Yeah, sure, this is going to be a challenging week for Keir Starmer, but undoubtedly he will prevail.
He is made of sterner stuff is our Keir, and fundamentally honest with it.
#StarmerSternerStuff
@IanJon407@kellro36 Badenoch said two things.
1, We should allow the US to use our bases (which we are now doing).
2, If there is conflict between the USA and Iran we should always be on the USA side.
You see I do pay attention, and look at the facts, and not labours gaslighting like some.
@jnigelscott@kellro36 erm, he didn’t join in the war at the level trump requested.
how the hell did you miss the criticism from Babenoch and Farage on this.
maybe pay attention to current affairs if you want to engage on these subjects
@IanJon407@kellro36 Trump did not ask the UK to join the war. In fact he explicitly said the USA does not need UK help.
He did ask to use two of our airbases, which Starmer first refused, and 36 hours later changed his mind.
He now has access to all our bases (inc UK) where he can load his bombs.
@jnigelscott@kellro36 1: disagree. saving the country from worse should be everyone’s priority
2: all three boomer slop parties would reverse what labour has done
3: all three boomer slop parties would have involved us more in the iran war and said so themselves, criticising starmer for not
@paulmasonnews Simple question.
As Mr Starmer didn't go to the house 'at the earliest opportunity' to say he had inadvertently misled Parliament, as the rules (he likes rules and process) demand, do you think he would have if the Guardian hadn't published the story ?
@KBGreyhoundlady@paulmasonnews@MittensOff Give it a rest.
All the journalists now questioning Starmer, are the same ones who gave Boris such a bad time.
You never complained then, did you?
@paulmasonnews@MittensOff Johnson packed the BBC with Tory shills. There needs to be an investigation into what’s supposed to be our national broadcaster. I’m sick of this witch hunt. Where were they when Johnson & his cabal were running their genuinely corrupt so called government?
@paulmasonnews We had a very able, and well respected, ambassador in place. Starmer decided to move her on, and make a political appointment. Very rarely does this occur. Therefore more reason to get it right.
He was that determined to appoint him he did so before the vetting was completed.
@IanJon407@kellro36 1, Not a good enough reason to keep him in post.
2, Business As Usual i.e. Things you would expect to happen as day to day governance.
3, Apart from what I said what has he done, that no other leader has, to keep us out of the war.
That is your claim, not mine.
@jnigelscott@kellro36 1: about what? and also that wasn’t my point. the alternatives are worse was my point
2: i don’t know what BAU is. is it a mechanism for getting around carnets?
3: the 3 boomer slop parties wanted full involvement so you can drop the ‘bases’ thing
The hatred directed at Starmer is toxic and the attacks on him often wildly exaggerated. He has done some good stuff as Prime Minister. But he isn’t a story-teller and I’m still not convinced he has a story. I’ve been critical of him many times. He has made some important mistakes - one of which was appointing Mandelson, which (unlike some notable others, including Nigel Farage) I didn’t endorse at the time. Huge couple of days ahead now for Starmer - he doesn’t have a lot of support in the media!
@IanJon407@kellro36 1, He is a proven liar - fact.
2, Without sounding churlish, this is just BAU stuff.
3, I ask again. What has he done, to back our claim, apart from the 36 hour delay in the USA using our bases?
@jnigelscott@kellro36 1: don’t think he’s a liar or corrupt. + a worse pm makes things worse for everyone including me.
2: yes he has. i work cross border and it’s already better through small micro deals
3: the frothing boomer slop parties wanted us to be S by S with the US not just using bases
@IanJon407@kellro36 For an intelligent man you talk some bollocks.
1, Not a reason to keep a corrupt liar in post.
2, Not yet he hasn't.
3, Please explain. He stopped the USA from using two of our bases, then changed his mind 36 hours later.
What else?
@kellro36 1: better than the obvious alternatives to the left or right
2: already made it much easier to work in the EU and get equipment over the border and back again.
3: kept us out of the iran war unlike what the three boomer slop parties would have done.
@RupertLowe10 Everyone crying about 'unpleasant' leadership clearly can't handle a PM who actually makes tough calls. You want a friend or a leader? Starmer is doing the dirty work nobody else has the stones for. Stay mad, he’s not going anywhere.
@jnigelscott@Artemisfornow putting up the retirement age is the worst solution.
the rapid growth of PIP and incapacity is mainly people who are older, not reached pension age yet, but their bodies are screwed
hence lee anderson’s geriatric ashfield constituency has more PIP claimants than entire cities
I’m bored of telling you that all the parties are lying to you.
Because if they told you the truth they wouldn’t be elected.
Britain is nearly bankrupt and politicians have no idea where this ‘mythical’ growth to cover obscene spending will come from
Because they can’t! There isn’t any.
The working-age population is shrinking, the number of people claiming benefits is rising, and the public sector, funded by the private sector, is ballooning.
AI is on track to replace huge amounts of white-collar jobs in the next 10–15 years. All of these people will be jobless and needing to claim benefits. Which we won’t be able to afford to pay!
The guff about “net zero” and “green jobs” is bollocks (technical term) Those jobs only exist during the construction phase, after that, these are largely automated industries.
As for those shouting about Universal Basic Income er … from where? How would it be funded? You’re dreaming.
And those saying we can just tax the corporations, they’re dreaming too. They’ll just operate from outside the UK.
And to control you … as you demand pay rises and more benefits? Well a near total clampdown of speech and thought through legislation and censorship and those Digital IDs, “just so you behave yourself.”
There really is little growth, even trades will be hit because the population won’t have the money to buy their services.
We’re are in a badly managed decline, with grossly under qualified and incapable leadership in any party at all.
And all those screaming to tax the wealthy? You’re just morons.
I’m annoyed 💣
