Do you want to discuss boring politics? (36 Viewers)

[SBAndy]

It sounds exactly like being told how to live our lives, being controlled by one means or another. It’s another example of Starmer opening his gob and sticking his foot right in it, another example where he should have said nothing.

Words cannot adequately express how much I despise that man. Is that being misandrist?

It’s another example of you not having the foggiest what you’re even angry about. Boring me to tears.

It's a real shame that you haven't noticed it being done for your whole lifetime by all governments regardless of political persuasion.

"STOP THE BOATS" and Rwanda worked a treat, innit. Not expecting a mature discussion about how you reverse a long term trend or accept that trend and plan for how to make the best of the situation... but a LOL for now.

And the rest, how many are here illegally that the government don't even know about

Pretty sure those are the ones not taking out of the system….

 

[shmmeee]

They only ever talked about the boats, not the huge numbers of Indian and Nigerians they started letting in.

Well that's pleasing to know. ....not

What is it you actually want? To no longer have any immigration?

What about sustainable, this can't carry on, have the government just clicked?

Louise Haigh said some vaguely left wing things so obviously the machine didn't like that

Yep

She obviously didn’t stop the boats

Absolutely pathetic reason to stand down TBH. Someone’s clearly got it in for her. I think she’s been pretty good too.

Agreed. I think she should have stood firm personally.

Pretty mad when you think of some of the stunts that members of the previous government pulled and kept their jobs!

She was far too left wing and outspoken for Starmer - he had already distanced the government from her after the P and O comments

And yet this government is communist and so far left wing we are in a political block with China

Where have I said that?

You haven’t

The previous government was doing it as well

 

[shmmeee]

Ultimately you’ve got to put them somewhere until you can sort the mess out.

Not entirely sure its a coincidence that this was known to the party prior to her appointment and then someone seems to have fed the story to the press shortly after she made comments Starmer wasn't prepared to back.

 

[Como]

This is very measurable

 

[shmmeee]

This is very measurable

Indeed.

 

[Mcbean]

This is very measurable

well he organised 470 people to go to Cop24 - they all could have stayed including the comedian Milliband

It’s really simple, put me on ignore.

Being convicted of fraud a pathetic reason? Reeves ought to go as well for falsifying her CV, much was made of her experience as an economist when she was appointed chancellor.

And then Starmer should go for appointing them. You know if this was Boris and the Tories you would be screaming for it.

And you know that if it was Boris and the Tories the mainstream media would remain inexcusably silent until the tide was overwhelming.
Haigh has done the right thing by offering her resignation. And starmer for accepting it.
As for starmer should go for appointing her (and Reeves)…if only such standards in public life had been followed by numerous previous governments.
