So, Labour's big idea. Labour's big Push for your vote in the Local elections. Starmer's attempt at a new style of progressive politics is.........................................

 

"Vote Labour to support our nurses"

 

FFS, I thought it was 1972/73 all over again and have already made an essential journey to Home Bargains and just bought all their candles in readiness for the looming blackouts.......

 

What a complete and utter set of clueless, blind, insightless, inspirationless complete and utter f@@ktards and muppets!

[andydclements]

What I never realised is that nurses pay must be controlled by those local councils. Because if it isn't, then the nurses pay is completely separate and should have no effect on who represents your views on local matters like bin collection, potholes etc.

Don't hold back, just say say what you mean 😅

No point beating about the bush, best just to jump right in!

There’s a job on GMB if you’re interested?

Couldn't afford the pay drop

Now they will provide them with a 2% pay rise. I’m puzzled by this frankly as they don’t seem to be placing a value on what they would provide - but 2% they have voted through.

now let’s get back to the 1% as punted. It equates to £3.50 a week apparently. So £18200 per annum take home. Now this simply doesn’t line up with the pay banding on nurses. And please let’s remember that’s before any extra shifts or shift premiums.

or is this just labours bullshit £350M on the side of the bus spin.

Whilst I disagree with many of their policies and believe they are just jumping on the bandwagon of public opinion ref nurses pay. I am gonna play the devils advocate and say that it is the Publics Opinion and therefore a valid Policy! Just like Boris's was in nicking so many Labour Voters by saying "We are leaving the EU no matter what, even if its a no deal".

This is British Politics at its best (Sarcasm) appealing to the lowest common denominator. But then our Politics has been like this for many years! it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. It's likely that if they get into power they will realise they don't have the money and rise taxes to pay for the nurses pay rise. This in effect will vote them out of power at the next election! Much like the Libs saying they wouldn't negotiate on free Uni places before backtracking to get into power.

 

[SFO]

Labour's "policy" demonstrates a total lack of ideas, lack of anything interesting or useful to say, and inability to hold the Government to account 

[march]

Well Labour MP now supporting a big get together in London this weekend for women over the death of the poor woman Sarah Everard! So they are supporting an action over the death of a woman whilst creating the opportunity to kill others from the virus - what a legacy to create.

Kimbers don't confuse "local" elections over "national" ones.  This is Labour's rallying call for fighting local elections where as NHS pay is reserved to, and paid for by, Westminster mate! That's how f@@king clueless Starmer and his gang of muppets are!  They have nothing to offer at a local level. No ideas. No vision.

Not really. Whilst the 2 things are separate for the reasons articulated the Great British public as a whole won't realise that and hence it is a valid tactic.

Doesn't stop them from being clueless and useless though.

Starmer today came out with his usual negative response to a 'problem' resign resign resign. Seems to be the only response he is capable of

[Barrykearley]

Starker is completely pointless. Sadly with weak opposition you get weak government. That’s very clear to see in the foreign office.

[C8RKH]

The only good thing about Starmer is that he is keeping that awful Angela Rainer out of the Leadership seat. If she gets to be leader Labour really will be finished for ever.

[Barrykearley]

Without question she is the best placed to lead the Labour Party.

woah Angela Rayner 🎉

[jonwat]

Watch Penny Mordaunt shame her on her expenses 

[Barrykearley]

Woah Angela Rayner 🥳 - she’s the very woman for the top job at the liebour party

Discussed this with SWMBO yesterday. Personally I think everyone that clamours for a resignation over a trivial event should be forced to resign themselves. Like Hancock - he had an affair, so what? The breaching social distancing rules with his mistress is a nonsense, seeing as they were working in the same office anyway. Christ, if they insisted on resignation for having an affair in my profession half the industry would be unemployed.

This list is off the top of my head - Apologies they are alll women, but do they really represent the labour party?  (several of them clearly dont  represent the interests of all their constituents).   The only current guy I can remember is Jonathan Ashworth and he was clearly bullied and has a bit less than no personality whatsoever.   I would say Labour have made themselves unelectable and woke agendas and apparent box ticking will further affect their chances.  Be interesting to see what lifelong Labour voters make of this pathetic situation        

• Angela Raynor (aggressive dullard)
• Jess Phillips (dullard)
• Claudia Webb (dullard - Anyone know where B'roose is?)
• Dawn Butler (dullard 90% of giraffes are gay...)
• Diane Abbott (why is she allowed on the media....)

She's great value for a Penny (surely worth a Pound of anyone's money) and the more I watch her performances the more I think she should be PM. Angela is one of many she has ripped to pieces with FACTS not fiction whilst doing it without resorting to crass language and veiled insults. A class act in my opinion.

Especially when she delivered a speech in the House of Commons just before the Easter recess in 2013 on poultry welfare so as to use the word "cock", as a forfeit for a misdemeanour during Naval Reserve training
