Thanks @BIossomtoes

Over in the Anyone Watching Starmer thread, they have resorted to "in Labour run Wales".

Please don't say that @AdamRyan , I don't think I can stand another whole year if them.☹️

I notice that on all the Starmer threads, nobody is mentioning the Tories achievements and why we should continue to vote for them.

jgw1 is touching nerves

There was some reporting he'd been advised not to go for Autumn because of the security risk of having US and UK both distracted by elections/change of government

I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere too, a while back actually.

Given the run of absurd shite his other bold, I-do-what-I-like-cause-I’m- PM, moves have caused I’m going to brace for some massive national security issues in the autumn. Well played sir, that’s probably the one bingo square you haven’t played on your fuck the uk card.

Thanks for the thread @BIossomtoes.

excellent title too @IClaudine - you’re right to be proud!

Haha... I don't know why I found 'the stench of death' so funny in your post... but I did!

Very Excellent thread title ! (thanks)

I think his 'working assumption' comment is because he would like to hang on till year end but depending on resignations/ Rwanda nonsense/ polls etc he may have to go earlier. He's not as in control as he'd like (us) to think.

Combating failures to recruit & retain teachers (the NHS method)

EXCLUSIVE🚨The government is looking at how it could boost schools’ international recruitment to plug teacher gaps amid a deepening teacher supply crisis, @tes has learned⬇️

I’m away rather a lot in May. I’ll be gutted too, though obvs I’ll get a postal vote. Looking forward to watching seats fall though…

But...but...but...that would mean immigrants!

Sssssshhhhh don't mention it.

More lying

Works for me. I don’t go away until after that! Fingers crossed you are correct. Would make sense.

Because I disagree with their TWAW policy and the fact that they are giving away single sex spaces on the basis of people's (mainly male) "feels".

In his speech yesterday, Starmer confirmed that single sex space are safe.

It was also confirmed at the Labour conference back in September.

@IIdentifyAsInnocent thing is, the Tories have done exactly the same thing, so no gritted teeth needed. Your choice is between the party that tried to expand self ID courtesy of one T. May, and which continues to implement policies tgat damage women disproportionately (i.e. paid leave rights for part time workers), or the party that brought in the NMW and SureStart. No brainer if you're a thinking woman.

John Crace

Starmer isn’t promising a revolution. He’s not that kind of guy. Much of what he is promising is more of the same, only done properly. Done decently. He isn’t a voice of protest. He is a voice of government. And after 14 years of the Tories, that’s a relief.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/04/rishi-sunak-five-pledges-and-now-nada?CMP=share_btn_tw

That's a very reasonable summary from Crace.
Practical, workable, thoughtful politics please.

I think Crace has summed up what’s on offer from Kier Starmers Labour very nicely.

It is possible he is unaware he is the PM?

Hi everyone. Happy 2024.

You genuinely made me lol then.

They seem to require me to state the law of the land as though I am some kind of oracle.

It is possible he is unaware he is the PM?

Possible he realises he is PM in name only and he has to wait for those really in charge to tell him when he can call it.
