The good thing about flag-shagging 'patriots' is that they are so monumentally thick that they film themselves committing racially aggravated criminal damage and post it on the internet, making it nice and easy for the police to find them.

Labour are in govt now - no need to relive the previous 14 years.

That would be convenient for you.

After all, it's not as though the Tories spend the last 14 years blaming everything on the previous Labour government...

Well the nice thing is that councils have massive budgets to clear this stuff up.

Labour are in govt now - no need to relive the previous 14 years.

In fact, politics is all comparative. No party offers everything that most people want. So most people, unless they're shilling or being paid, will choose the least worst option.

So yes, there is every need to relive the previous 14 years.

It’s all right for men to keep opposing abotion because we have a shite system here that holds them to account for any children they father.

Until they are forced to pay CMS correctly and turn up for COA it’s if no consequence to them.

If it is then it makes her achievements even more impressive. A strong independent woman who came from nothing and is now worth £5m is clearly capable.

I wonder if thats why some posters are obsessed with her?

Jealousy is not a good look.

I'm with @BIossomtoes.

Your lot came out with a flying start - with all the goodies they received.

What would be the goodies received? These?

Prison overcrowding and Parole system unfit for purpose
Social services, care and mental health facilities dangerously underfunded
Asylum refugee centres not fit for purpose
Underfunding in the NHS resulting in a service not fit for purpose
Government borrowing at an all time high
Terrible relationship with the EU in economic terms
Councils on their knees
Transport in chaos with overblown out of control infrastructure that was not sustainable HS2

Me too but I couldn't let that part of the post rest. They won't respond and if they do l, I'll totally ignore it.

I wonder why we can't " relive the Tory past " when discussing?
Just let me have this one and then I won't engage any more,
a former chancellor, 9 properties!
London town house, Surrey pad, 7 flats on the south coast and maybe he lived at Downing street?
That would make 10 in total as were are counting grace and favour residences .

@DuncinToffee I saw that video of the half wits painting crosses on the flats over the shops. They had a young child with them as well ☹️

A staggering achievement on a 159k salary, I agree.…

Hmm.

The previous government spent 14 years going on and on and on about 'the mess Labour had left behind' but Labour aren't even allowed one year of grace? There's a word for that. Begins with H, I think you used it earlier on today.

Do you want to Google that or shall I?

🙄

There is a saying in Russian. The simplest fool can ask a question the wisest man cannot answer.

#justsayin'

Knock yourself out.

This roundabout also has two cameras pointing at it. Extra thrill.

I did ask X if they disapproved of multiple home ownership in general, or only if it's Labour people doing it. No answer, nor am I expecting one.

Driving back today from Cambridge after my lovely weekend in Plymouth and there's a couple of flags on overpasses. Clearly this is the Summer Of The Flag Shaggers.

It depends which site you alight on!

According to this one celebrity networth uk:

Estimating Angela Rayner's net worth in 2024 can be a bit tricky, as much of her wealth comes from her salary and public service roles. While she is not as wealthy as some businesspeople or celebrities, her steady political career has allowed her to build a comfortable financial position. As of 2024, her net worth is estimated to be around £500,000 to £1 million. This includes her earnings, savings, and any investments she may have made over the years.

… which is just a bit different from the figure you’ve quoted @MyNameIsX

However. What would be wrong with her being quite or very wealthy? Do you think that somehow she isn’t allowed to become so? Is that only the preserve of Tories?

Oohh I like that!

cardi thanks for podcast recommendation. I have just started to listening to the series but only just halfway through episode 1.

I suspect that all the rumours of £4.7 million assume that she owns the property that she doesn't actually own.

My goodness, who’d have thought we’d have a deletion on these threads? I’ll return when normal service has resumed.

What did you say, pray tell ? Can you ecrire en Francais, si'il vous plait ?
