All Labour are doing is payback for the “There is no money left” note left for Osbourne in 2010
Strange how what was a joke between two chancellors has been weaponised to misinform millions

Doesn’t have to be a fantasy.
How the Romanian rulers who starved their people met their end
On Christmas Day 1989, after a tumultuous year, Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife were executed by firing squad against a toilet block. But what led to this egregious event, asks Mick O’Hare

Pretty Words...
There have been a fair few revolutions in our lifetimes and revolutionary situations that were quelled. That doesn't have to mean socialist revolutions but I think that's what people think of as fantasy while completely ignoring all the others!Doesn’t have to be a fantasy.

I found a non paywall version… interesting. Thanks.
Britain’s broken public services
Neither Tories nor Labour are being upfront about what is needed to fix them

Obviously.. who you vote for is up to you.. However it's disappointing , in the context of this forum, which is for the most part populated by mature and well educated folks.. that your voting intention seems to be entirely based in self interest.

More than 550 pilgrims die in Mecca as temperatures exceed 50° C. Un-****ing-believable. And still Starmer would rather appease the bankers than stop the planet from frying.

At least 320 of the dead are from Egypt and Saudi officials report treating more than 2,000 people for heat stress

From the article: Britain’s hope of enjoying European-level social welfare for American-level taxes is reaching its limit.
"Neither party is being upfront" IMO because that would be a vote loser, unfortunately.

Let’s not forget Signore et Signora Mussolini’s glorious end.
This Rare Photo Captures The Moment Benito Mussolini Died
On April 26, 1945, Benito Mussolini – the fascist 'Il Duce' of Italy during WWII – was cornered by communist partisans in northern Italy. The day before, on April 25, Mussolini had finally seen the writing on the wall – the fall of Hitler's regime to Allied forces was imminent, and his hold over...

Wut? I posited just yesterday his dishevelled and blotchy mien suggested he'd returned from Lebedev's villa in Italy. Playing strip Jack naked and swapping NATO security codes in 2018 and not knowing he and Lebedev were being monitored by Italy's secret intelligence service clearly isn't enough of a Red flag to curtail his enjoyment.Oh.
Johnson appears not at all bothered the Party he represented has shat its pants and is flailing around trashing itself. Disassociating himself
from Tory rubble is easier than from the ruble though. I mean, The Scum have been more than happy to take Putin's

I still smile at the Lenny Henry newsreader sketch from the 80s:
In other news, following the renaming of Windscale to Sellafield, the Government have announced that from now on, nuclear fallout will be known as Magic Moonbeams.

Labour held to the left by the SNP would be better for us all. When crazy right-wing Harry Enfield caricatures like Mick and Ponty favour Starmer you know Labour has some real issues. If I was in Scotland I’d unquestionably vote SNP, and for independence from Tory Little England.

They're almost certainly going to lose the Western Isles seat too. Labour coming back strong and the current MP will now be standing as an Alba MP and will split the independence vote there.

Labour in Scotland?, the tories in Scotland?......aye...crack on as they say.
The problem with voting SNP is that they’re not interested in independence so it’s a wasted vote plus the last 18months has been a sh!tstorm from SNP it’s been a one party state here and frankly the SNP have delivered virtually nothing in all of the years they’ve been in power, yes they’ve delivered some health stuff ie cutting alcohol consumption and cigarettes smoking etc but that’s about all that they’ve delivered on most other issues it’s been a shambles here.
Truss should be strung up, it should never be forgotten how much she effed things up, this should be on her gravestone ‘here lies a c@nt that cost millions of people their savings!’

That, Tony, is a different argument.
I responded to your post..as it stood. You didn't qualify it.
