To be sick of people being so negative about the things Burnham is putting into place

[histrainersbythedoor]

Nobody thinks they’ll fix everything but he’s doing small things that can be actioned quickly and will drastically improve aspects of our lives that have got worse over the last two decades - parking fines, music on trains, vaping on public transport. They’re all small things, yes, but they will make things a little better.

He’s not said anywhere that he thinks that doing these things will save Britain. So why are people acting like he has said that?

Yes they forgot Blair and Brown pretty quickly didn't they.

First question I asked you 😂

He is the right person because he is the PM. He doesn't have a magic wand but things are looking better than posters like to acknowledge. We all know that Trump's war has changed things and there are no simple solutions.

I was disappointed with Starmer and Reeves but I think it was the IMF who said recently that the UK economy was is surprisingly good shape.

Good. Typical accusations but unnecessary.

Surely, AI will replace most local government and government officers?

The mess that’s made us the fastest growing economy in the G7, the only country consolidating its debt, the one that’s halved immigration - that mess?

PM in name only, and if we otherwise apply your logic, Truss was the right person because she was also the PM.

I disagree that ‘things are looking better’ and even before Trump’s Hormuz adventure, Starmer and Reeves were presiding over a deterioration in public finances and other economic metrics. Look at youth unemployment, look at the out-of-control welfare budget etc.

It’s just people online complaining about it, bots and idiots going on about boats.

They did a radio phone in about this today and everyone was very happy about the car parking fines and plenty of people who were now in court or had bailiffs coming etc due to a small mistake. It’s the type of crap that can mess up someone’s financial life.

You misunderstand. It is about unfulfilled eligibility in existing claims.

Around 10 in 100 PIP claims have unfulfilled eligibility due to functional needs. Claimants have not informed DWP that they need more help or that their condition has deteriorated and so are recieving less money than they should be.

Which runs counter to some of the claims made about people on PIP.

The IMF disagrees with you.

Where has the YTD growth come from?

Growth is growth.

Truss was indeed the right person at the time, she was elected as PM by the Tory members.

Ofcourse she crashed the economy and we are still feeling the effects.

So who would be the right person to lead the Labour party according to you?

Burnham - there is nobody else, as the PLP knows full well.

We also have the highest interest rates in the G7 - meaning investors rate our credit the worst.

Sorry, that’s an absurd comment.

Not for long. France and Germany’s are about to go up.

Glad you will give him a chance.

No, you asked me who should lead Labour - not the country.

I am keen to see Labour out of government.

I know you are, you have been since they won the GE

Badenoch can't get her numbers right and Farage has other issues to sort out,

10y gilt yield is 5.42%, 10y bund yield is 3.42%. That’s 200bps less confidence bond markets have in the UK vs Germany. And our bank rate is going up in November (and probably February as well).

Absolutely. Also typical are views that anyone who likes the current Government is a hard leftist. Totally unnecessary.

Watching the brilliant "Saving Lives at Sea". The RNLI is a a brilliant organisation and I'm proud to donate to them. 🛟

Odd you feel the need to mention that on this thread, but OK.

It's as relevant to the thread as the mentions of PIP claimants, immigration, "fighting age men", Islam etc.
