I see that Starner, who attended attended sold-out Taylor Swift and Coldplay concerts, Premier League football matches and the Euros final, is planning to nationalise Oasis.

Well Neil we managed to have a brief chat at crabble
On labour do you think Starmers winter fuel allowance is an own goal ?
It's certainly not going down well

I note that HMG has denied a number of export licenses to Israel.

Whoops. Just realised Iron Beam is an Israeli defence system which we have been looking to purchase once it's released in 2025.
I hope they will grant an export licence from them to us? Surely no grown up government could be so petty as to do otherwise?

Keir Starmer: ‘Government will have to be unpopular in order to take tough decisions for change’
Meanwhile Kier has his own law to protect his pension on which he pays zero tax!

The defence of taking monies from pensioners and although not connected
Giving pay rises to some workers badly thought out

Is it a record?????????
In the recent by election in St Radigunds
Just 8% of the ward bothered to vote .
Must be a record low turnout ????

'In the recent by-election in St Radigunds, an overwhelming 92% rejected the bland menu of stooge party candidates and a 'local businessman' offered up by the TC, and went for a carry out instead.
Of those who stayed, only 3% opted for the
plat du jour regurgitated pink mash with unidentifiable chewy bits in it.'
Fixed it for you, KS.

Why vote for someone I knew nothing about, I refuse to vote along party lines in local elections where integrity is far more important.

*of all potential diners (NOT 'of those who stayed': damned 'system' wouldn't accept my edit.)
Of course, this means that of those who took a menu option, some 36% did actually choose the pink mash.
An even sillier statistic.
