No that just proves that unlike Farage and tice and lowe and other privately educated rich boys that it’s labour that are the establishment and not reform

No that just proves that unlike Farage and tice and lowe and other privately educated rich boys that it’s labour that are the establishment and not reformApparently the Sunday Times has endorsed Labour today. So either the Sunday Times has turned into a socialist rag or Labour under Starmer really isn’t that socialists after all.
Don’t be so fucking ridiculous. The UK isn’t a kleptocracy or run by a psychopathic megalomaniac with rigged elections,
Not yet, anyway.
If there was a God worth praying to, there wouldn’t be war and pestilence, suffering and poverty.
Day 17: Welfare
Luke 3.10-14
'Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.’
The reasons why people find themselves in debt or poverty, or simply struggling to make ends meet, are complicated and varied. People who experience homelessness at some point in their lives speak of the sudden, unexpected and devastating tipping-point which landed them where they are now.
Those of us who are privileged to be financially secure, at least for now, are lured into believing the ‘myth of scarcity’. This tells us that we must hold onto everything we have, for fear that tomorrow we won’t have enough. But there is a difference between managing what we have wisely and living selfishly.
As we pray today for a just and fair society, let’s pray, too, that we may we let go of our fears and commit to living generously.
Heal the sick in body and mind,
and provide for the homeless,
the hungry and the destitute.
Hear us, good Lord.
I am sure some of the hard right were calling Sunak socialist.Express thinks it will and telegraph and times and mail and sun lol and the tories and reform all think starmer is socialism on acid
Then it really would be abused
Depends what one considers the point of prayer. I don’t think god intervenes at allIf there was a God worth praying to, there wouldn’t be war and pestilence, suffering and poverty.
The usual counter is God gave us free will. All I can say is that was a fucking stupid thing to give by a supposedly omniscient being.
And that needs to change.People can be sacked within the first 2 years of employment for pretty much any reason you like.
Agent MalcSBI have no time for Starmer and have had no intention of voting for him, but seeing how much he noises you up has done more to make me consider changing my mind than Labours whole election campaign!
Neat reply.Depends what one considers the point of prayer. I don’t think god intervenes at all
It’s more aligning ourselves to what matters and making it so by our actions
Agree although I would addAnd we still aren’t talking about what fundamentally matters
womens only spaces??
Immigration?
What about cost of living
Housing and homelessness
Investment in society
Education
staples of our society
Me tooAgree although I would add
Plan for climate change
Being honest about need to increase taxes and improve public services
Being honest about Brexit and the need for a plan to address the negative effects
Correct. The probationary period also offers the worker a way out if the employer has lied and bullshitted during the interview process. I gladly used it myself once to get away from a company.People can be sacked within the first 2 years of employment for pretty much any reason you like.
And that needs to change.
The alternative that you’re suggesting then gets abused by the employee. Italy works in much the same way and you end up with people being paid for doing next to no work and who are also clearly incompetent but sacking them is next to impossible.Then it really would be abused
It must be difficult for them to talk about women’s only spaces when they are not clear what a woman is.And we still aren’t talking about what fundamentally matters

Climate change - go speak to USA, China and India. Nothing UK does will have any impact if they carry on their merry way.Agree although I would add

Oh, has Sir Keir changed his position on that? It’s just it’s so hard to keep up with his flip flopping.They are clear

Thats not our position in the world, and nor should it be, We will be led a not so merry but hugely expensive dance toward net zero wilts the US, China and India continue to burn fossil fuels and develop their industries at the expense of ours.We are or used to be a world leader that people looked to for inspiration
Deep thinker aren't you? Just dismiss the biggest challenge we face with a superficial statement that isn't even true.Climate change - go speak to USA, China and India. Nothing UK does will have any impact if they carry on their merry way.
Then it really would be abused
It's the Tory way.‘I’m alright Jack’ thinking then.
Deep thinker aren't you? Just dismiss the biggest challenge we face with a superficial statement that isn't even true.
Whether you like it or not climate change is happening and it will have a massive impact on us all and our economy. We can just do what we did with the pandemic and not have a plan and take the hit or we can start preparing now. Unfortunately our politicians only think short term so the chances of them developing a plan are low it seems.
Surely you can write a law saying companies and organisations cannot own residential property and humans can only own one.
I've said it before and will say it again, housing needs to be seen as a place to live, not a thing to make money.
Huge IF.Yeah but what if we get cheap, resilient energy and clean air and water and restore biospheres for nothing?
That’s why we need checks and balances such as the ECHR. You take the checks and balances away it’s the start of sleepwalking into being governed by megalomaniacs.Fuck off. I don’t want to be governed by a megalomaniac who invades other countries to give his people something other than domestic issues to worry about.
Just what impact will UK hitting net zero have. Reduce global CO2 by 1%. Probably less if some of that net zero is achieved by a significant amount of our manufacturing continuing to be outsourced to China.Deep thinker aren't you?

You missed the point. It was about deciding rights on an arbitrary marker.The probationary period is not about their age, it’s about being new in a job.
Also interesting that you consider an 18 year old not to be a full adult. Labour will give the vote to children. Laughable.
Or we could lead and change opinions/show the benefits so others follow.Climate change - go speak to USA, China and India. Nothing UK does will have any impact if they carry on their merry way.
Have you seen any of the romesh travels? There’s a sense in doing it for our own well being as the worldsThats not our position in the world, and nor should it be, We will be led a not so merry but hugely expensive dance toward net zero wilts the US, China and India continue to burn fossil fuels and develop their industries at the expense of ours.
But the UK is not doing it in isolation. There’s other 100 countries aiming to hit net zero in a little over a decade. It’s part of something much bigger.Just what impact will UK Notting net zero have. Reduce global CO2 by 1%. Probably less if some of that net zero is achieved by a significant amount of our manufacturing continuing to be outsourced to China.
