You have to wonder just who are advising Sunak. Plus he himself should have had enough nous to realize that he just couldn't do that. Then again, as someone who has served, I fully understand that the politicians (of all colours) couldn't give a s**t about servicemen or women.
Starmer now wants the MoD to only buy British to help the British economy. Sorry, but anyone serving wants the best weapons/uniforms/vehicles or whatever. Their job is not to help British industry but to kill or destroy the enemies of the State. They want the best tools to enable to complete their mission and come home safe. They don't give a toss where their rifle comes from. Only that it suits their needs and does the job expected of it. No point keeping some blokes in work in a factory to produce weapons that are unreliable, unsafe and no good, with your friends dying around you because of this. If a Canadian weapon works better, then buy that. Just another useless soundbite by a politician.

I’d add my daughter is saying one of the biggest issues for her has been for a while understanding what doctors / consultants are telling her , she said that is now being compounded by patients that cannot understand her / or her them You can blame it on the tories as much as they like , they certainly deserve there part . But the fact is the nhs is becoming overwhelmed by the amount of people that need treatment , no suprise when you shoehorn 30 million extra people into a country of 50 million And what’s the commies answer to this more migration as we haven’t got enough nurse 🙄, well obviously not as 30 million people need more nurses to treat them , and more migration to get those nurses will mean you need even more nurses to treat them , repeat , repeat repeat 🙄 It does'nt help that thousands of them hav'nt got the slightest interest in learning English because they hav'nt got the slightest interest in England and integrating. Yes we can see that , but I’m still baffled why loads of idiots think 30 million extra people in a country wouldn’t have a effect on services , mind boggling What would the result of instead of 9,000 turning up at the mem on a sat , 15,000 turned up , you’d have chaos , loads couldn’t get in , if they did catering etc would be overwhelmed, Yet the nhs overwhelmed is nothing to do with a extra 30 million immigrants wracking up on a island that was 50 million Can’t wait for the commies , apparently they’ve all the answers milk & honey 🙄

I don't vote in Wales, I don't live there. But it's apparently the it's "blueprint" for Labour in the UK. Other stupid comments from party leaders are available

She highlighted the fact that it is the disaster in Social Care that is the primary cause of the issues in hospital care. Even Johnson referred to it after the 2019 election when he claimed there was an "oven ready" solution. Of course he was making it up. This mess has a knock on affect on immigration as well, as stated previously, we issued 89,000 work visas for care workers last year. No party is being honest about this and the true cost of sorting it out of course we issued 89,000 work visas as the population has risen by 30 million , it’s not bloody rocket that 30 million more people is going to = the need for more more nurses . Unless your going to get the existing nurse to look after 20 bays on a ward rather than the 1/2 they presently do Take the bloody blinkers off More people = more nurses / hospital / doctors / houses / , more of every bloody thing That's the spirit. Let's reduce the population to near zero, that will sort out the demand side, oh and the supply side. A variation on the Malthusian theory of population and economics.

You have to wonder just who are advising Sunak. Plus he himself should have had enough nous to realize that he just couldn't do that. Then again, as someone who has served, I fully understand that the politicians (of all colours) couldn't give a s**t about servicemen or women. I dont think that politicians should attend these commemorations in an official role,they try to use the event to benefit themselves politically, Biden making a speech and mentioning a war in "Yurp" Macron with elections coming up trying to beef himself up, why was Zelensky there ?..what did Ukraine have to do with D day ? quite a lot of Ukes were fighting against the Russians (not that I blame them for that). Russia,I know that they are in the doghouse but D day wouldnt have happened without them killing millions of Germans prior to June 1944,surely dispensation could have been made and at least an invitation to a Russian delegate (not Putin obviously). All in all not really a commemoration of the dead just politicians getting some TV time.

If a Canadian weapon works better, then buy that. Just another useless soundbite by a politician. I’d of thought there is the capability to make the arms required in this country ( most f1 teams are based here ) , my brother worked for royal ordnance years ago before they closed ( I’ve still got 3 small shells in the garage , gulp ) & I believe they were well regarded , I welded the sledges ( believe that was the name ) that were dropped from planes I assume with kit on them The issue I’d think was cost , and manufacturing / engineering has been decimated in this country , so would there be the capacity ? As for sunak , he looks like a kid totally overwhelmed by it all , bad decision after bad decision , though starmer at times looks like it’s all a bit much for him , but who would the tories replace him with ?

Surely we should be making the best here in Britain ? thinking about weapons the Bren gun was designed in Czechoslovakia but adapted and made here, the FAL became the SLR for British forces use,there have been plenty of others. A good thing about making equipment,weapons,ammunition here is that there should be better quality control...defence procurement has long been an issue though and not just in Britain. I think that Britain should get back into manufacturing as much as possible,self sufficiency is a positive thing.

Who said reduce the population to zero other than you ? Goodness me, talk about "brittle" Anyway Just for you "If by fiat I had to identify the most consequential ideas in the history of science, good and bad, in the top 10 would be the 1798 treatise An Essay on the Principle of Population, by English political economist Thomas Robert Malthus. On the positive side of the ledger, it inspired Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace to work out the mechanics of natural selection based on Malthus's observation that populations tend to increase geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16 …), whereas food reserves grow arithmetically (2, 3, 4, 5 …), leading to competition for scarce resources and differential reproductive success, the driver of evolution. On the negative side of the ledger are the policies derived from the belief in the inevitability of a Malthusian collapse. “The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race,” Malthus gloomily predicted. Wrong of course www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-malthus-is-still-wrong/

Maybe padded cells at care homes will be in the labour manifesto, there members could certainly do need them I’m not hopeful but any chance of answering the earlier question , how many people have you seen dieing / dead in hospital corridors ?

It is said that ignorance is bliss. So you’ve not seen anyone dieing / dead in hospital corridors , confirms what wife / daughter & sister said , and what Ive seen I shouldnt be giving tips to someone who tries to make out there intellectually superior , but in future don’t believe everything you see on the tv , it’s not all true And make sure you hold the carers hand at the airport next week , those plane engines can be dangerous

Should be cracking TV tonight as Penny Mordaunt, Nigel Farage, Angela 'bury me in a Y shaped coffin' Rayner, and some other non-entities have a debate. 7:30pm to 9pm. Worth getting back from the pub early for.

Worth getting back from the pub early for. Mordaunt will be interesting to watch Epping as being banded round as the next tory leader ( though think she could struggle as sunak has given the opposition a hand grenade / two to throw ) . Though lost of rumours of Cameron comming back to steady the ship , oh for the Remainiac melt down if he did . Hopefully nige equips himself well , a few dirty slapped aimed at rayner will be a good start 😂😂

Laugh of the day. Nigel Farage quotes the EU as an alternative funding model for the NHS. Really? You really couldn't make this up
