It wouldn't have been that when he first said it of course, but I agree with Ghost1951, seize the industry and stand firm against the fuss that follows. .

Indeed, but Margaret Thatcher is dead now. Jeremy Corbyn was right all along with his insistence that he would immediately take water back into public ownership if elected. .

Thanks Saneagle, but its now too late for me on account of age and my damaged heart. I had my last try in 2019 only to be blocked once again and fobbed off with tablets. I know what is wrong, the same that my Mother and older Brother had, both successfully treated with replacement heart...

How utterly stupid of Streeting, doesn't he know the background? This is exactly what the Tories did that got th e NHS into the mess it's in. They diverted the money for consultant appointments and operations from hospitals to GPs, who should then pay from that income to the hospital for...

Typical far right distortion. Taken apart: "hard left Corbinista". Hardly, given I've already told you that I spent much of my life voting conservative and still do where that is the best choice, such as for the current GLC. "admitted he retired from work - at fifty". I didn't admit, I'm...

The far right bigot shows his true self. Rather than acknowledge that in the gamble of life, people are born with widely differing capabilities and potentials, he places the wealth resulting from his good fortune of birth above and beyond helping the far less fortunate. .

The article is just a set of opinions of one of your favourite right wing commentators about Ed Miliband's forthcoming actions, which you present as if fact about to happen. They aren't of course, they are simply Miliband's desired intentions which, like most such intentions immediately post a...

But PR would obviate that in this election: Conservative plus Reform UK, 246 seats. Labour, 221 seats. Nor would Lib Dem voters necessarilyvote for Labour, most Lib Dem gains came from the Conservatives. .

Good to see you back OG but sorry to learn your wife finally passed away. I can sympathise with your heart problems since mine are now severe, permanent and limiting. I would love to see us back in the EU but I don't see it happening for a very long time yet and doubt Starmer has any will to...

BBC 1 commentator: "Keir Starmer enters in his prime ministerial Jaguar" Snag being that it was very blatantly and obviously a German Audi. :( .

A very telling result, Jeremy Corbyn as an independent winning by almost 8000 votes from the official Labour candidate, during a huge Labour landslide. Equally telling was Keir Starmer's seat result in London, where he suffered a reduced majority while his party overwhelmingly dominated with...

Same difference for OG, the best and longest lived threads are those I start. ;) .

E-cars and ULEZ are both to cut down driving, as I've been posting for years now. It's all about making driving much more expensive and less attractive. And yes, of course ULEZ is also a money grab, just as the Congestion charge was also for the same purposes. Less private car driving for...

The UK because the benefit from working is wholly inadequate and survival without working is possible with little if any loss of living standards. I baled out of employment as I passed fifty and am now in my fourth decade of non-employment and might even enter a fifth decade. My living...

I didn't expect you to treat my post seriously and I am certainly not a left wing activist since for much of my life I voted Conservative and still always do for certain specific purposes, such as borough council governance in London. In other words I vote sensibly in accordance with the facts...

I might add how did a known liar and incompetent like Boris Johnson ever become PM or a crazed eccentric like Jacob Rees Mogg get consistently re-elected and have such power in his party? The simple answer is that it is the public who are responsible, not any hidden force A few posts ago...

Better expressed as pleased the Tories are not returning, not at Starmer winning. As other have said in here, we are stuffed anyway. .

Fully agreed all aspects, it's one of the reasons I've never voted for New Labour, nor will I for this latest variant on July 4th, despite being a socialist at heart. .

Good to hear, well done in every way Saracen. Perhaps get Stephen online as a pedelecs member too, so whatever happens he can still feel connected with you through this interest you love so much. .

Even more delusional than usual, careful, that's only a short step to dementia. More bad news for you, the newly released World Happiness report for 2024 shows that the right wing USA has dropped out of the top 20. The top four places are held by Nordic socialist countries with the remaining...
