Wondering idly what did the previous conservative government do with all the extra dosh from cuts/austerity sure as hell doesn’t appear to have been ploughed into defence possibly spaffed up the wall giving millions to Rwanda covid contracts to mates/Dido Harding T&T I could be here all fucking day listing the billions that slipped through such slippery hands.

Now now. Dont confuse
people with facts 👀😉

War is lucrative business

Mordaunt was on LK this morning supporting Trump.

I’ve been intrigued about that for years. Austerity surely freed up a lot of money, yet the deficit rose steadily - what happened to it all?

Duck egg blue.

There's no priorities when it comes to springtime statements from either Reform or the Tories for those in delicate need, like spring shoots that will lead to a blossom in summer.

Labour fills that essential requirement.

Its like "saving” money by not fixing the broken roof and then (after several years and much spending on fixing mysterious damp and foundational issues) wondering where all the money you saved went.

And then telling the new owners that the state of the roof is their fault, when you sell the house.

I’d have thought it would be beneficial for future troops to be well fed, healthy specimens, which may be more likely with no cap.

No cap will also, of course, encourage the feckless to breed - meaning more drone/bomb fodder for proud parents to send to war for the rich.

I’m not sure this is precisely Reform’s policy wording as to why, but they definitely want more ‘breeding’ though through tax breaks.

I never thought that deciding people’s life choices, and deprioritising children’s right to a half decent life (with glee almost) could be policy in the U.K. in 2026 or that we could think it should be, and just to help out/please an orange megalomaniac in the US.

FT reporting that Farage failed to meet with Trump

Badenoch is plotting a reshuffle to 'stop her rising star from defecting to Reform' DM reports

she has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X...

Trump was very busy over the weekend - playing golf - how embaressing for Farage

Gilt yields surging, oil and gas prices soaring, wider systemic impact transmitted through food prices and everything else.

Iran didn't need a nuclear weapon to create mayhem. It just needed an idiot US President.

And as for those who backed him- eyes open yet?

You mean it was all just a wet dream for Nige?

@DuncinToffee do we know who this “rising star” is meant to be? 🤣

There aren’t many to choose from.

They may as well just pull numbers from a hat, at this point.

Katie Lam, the one that wants mass deportations incl people with ILR

Ha! I did say Trump might stand him up!

Lovely!

So, what would your next trade be?

Seeing as you have a view.

You first.

My view right now is a foggy Monday morning with a few birds flying past.

He wasn’t actually invited by Trump in the first place.

No view then.

A typical armchair expert.
