Jesus Bereft of any policy arguments some daft critique of her accent?? Still, I guess anything that deflects from a moron given the thumbs up over the graves of those killed in service and buried in Arlington We still don't know her policies, apart from the Democrats line of "the economy is great under Biden" to Harris "is going to fix the economy"! You talk about deflection and then come up with a nonsense line about Trump at Arlington!

Who knows if it was going to be stopped? Labour trying to claim it as something they are 'introducing' as a sop towards criticism of their cancellation of the WFA is just wrong. It was scheduled to end in September. And how do you know that the Tories would not renew it?

UK suspends some arms exports to Israel, foreign secretary says..by Emily Atkinsonichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/5f90/live/d975a770-693e-11ef-8c32-f3c2bc7494c6.jpgThe UK has announced it is suspending some export licences for military equipment to Israel Foreign Secretary David Lammy there is a "clear risk" that items exported to Israel might be used in "serious violations of international humanitarian law" Around 30 of 350 licences are being suspended - Lammy stresses it "is not an arms embargo" It comes as protests continue in Israel - including one planned outside PM Benjamin Netanyahu's residence - aimed at forcing the government to secure a hostage release deal with Hamas Earlier, mourners lined the streets in Jerusalem for the funeral of Hersh Goldberg-Polin He was one of the six people whose bodies were recovered by Israel on Saturday, sparking the current demonstrations. A total of 97 captives remain unaccounted for in Gaza Window dressing, we need more from Isreal in terms of defence and security relations than they from us. Correct. We buy a lot more from them than they get from us.

Extended, so they are not paying out more? Would you prefer they stopped it as previously scheduled and reclaim the funds? Who knows if it was going to be stopped? Labour trying to claim it as something they are 'introducing' as a sop towards criticism of their cancellation of the WFA is just wrong.

You are being silly once again Oldie. You must stop listening to those sixth formers down the library. Reform did have policies for the last election. It appears you did not bother to read/see them. So much for weighing up all the options and voting for the one you prefer, you didn't even look! Don't you think that's a bit narrow minded? Ah, So they have ditched those policies they said were actually a contract with the people? Those policies (they were nothing of the sort of course) that were little more than a sentence long and added up financially to bankruptcy? Truss on steroids? Those? Now they are ditching them and you have called it evolution. Better not ask Richard Dawkins to analyse them, his famous book, "The Selfish Gene" would have to have it's title revised... "The Stupid Gene"... I wonder if science can isolate this gene and rid us of it? You are so immature.

Due to Labours start under the dictatorship of Starmer ( there is literally - 1000 % chance that he will be prime minister at the next general election) so we will probably see a return to a Torries government, which will be even worse then Starmer. People will vote to get the current government out of power ( whichever one it is) each time we will go to the polls, due to each being we bad as each other. Remember,that's why we have this default government now due to this. We are under a dictatorship in this country due to the two party system. Reform will grow, but they are generation's away from being a real threat to the two lessers of two evils in this country. But why would anyone vote for a party with no proper constitution and no policies, other than waffling on about immigration. The National Raving Loony Party would be a better bet.... Oh, hang on, is that who Reform are 😂😂😂 You are being silly once again Oldie. You must stop listening to those sixth formers down the library. Reform did have policies for the last election. It appears you did not bother to read/see them. So much for weighing up all the options and voting for the one you prefer, you didn't even look! Don't you think that's a bit narrow minded?

God You are besotted. I pointed out the issues in how Reform were set up as a Ltd company and you defended it. Now they are admitting they have to change. I pointed out the manifesto was B/s and didn't add up, but you said it wasn't a manifesto. Farage confirmed it was a contract with his voters. Now, 2 months later, that contract is cancelled. And you voted for this Can you unilaterally cancel a contract? 😎 Maybe terminated by lack of performance. 😉 5 MP's, second in approx. 100 seats, over 4m votes. Labour only got 9.2m votes. From what was basically a start-up Party, that was a pretty good performance.

So all those people who voted for him voted for the square root of zero. You have to laugh I have to laugh at your immature ramblings.

No Oldie. The election has gone. It's time to move forward and look to the future. Do you really expect them to keep the same pledges for ever more? Of course not. Reform are evolving. They are attempting to make their own infrastructure stronger as next they will be targeting local elections. The Labour government have thrown away all their election promises already! Are you saying that the 20% who voted for Labour have 'egg on their faces'? God You are besotted. I pointed out the issues in how Reform were set up as a Ltd company and you defended it. Now they are admitting they have to change. I pointed out the manifesto was B/s and didn't add up, but you said it wasn't a manifesto. Farage confirmed it was a contract with his voters. Now, 2 months later, that contract is cancelled. And you voted for this You are so black & white. Yes, Reform was set-up as a Limited Company and this was because it was so small there was the danger that it could be taken over easily by "others" with just a few votes. Now the Party has grown and so they are changing their Constitution to deal with that. I see that the LibDems are still a Company?! And yes, as I have explained in a post just above this one, but I shall repost it again in the quaint hope that you can keep up. The "Contract" is now meaningless as Reform didn't win the election! The same as the Tory Manifesto is meaningless, as is the LibDem Manifesto etc etc! "No Oldie. The election has gone. It's time to move forward and look to the future. Do you really expect them to keep the same pledges for ever more? Of course not. Reform are evolving. They are attempting to make their own infrastructure stronger as next they will be targeting local elections. The Labour government have thrown away all their election promises already!

When people feel ignored they move to more radical ends of the spectrum. It's not just immigration, it's more the difficult times and a wish to 'bloody the nose' of those in power. The current economic system and income distribution curve leaves to many gaining no benefit. Those that do benefit the most are happy to turn the spotlight away from these real issues and allow the blame to be shifted to immigrants. It's a classic tactic. What is strange is that people fall for it. Jacob Rees Mogg, one of the arch Brexit supporters saw the funds under management in his company, Somerset Capital, balloon to over £8 billion after Brexit by 2018. Last week, after deciding to close it down, he will walk away with £4,000,000. Nice. Meanwhile there are over 100,000 children in the UK living in temporary accommodation (at best) I know, let's blame that chap from Syria Let's not forget the 10m OAP's who have had their Winter Fuel Allowance taken away! Let's not turn the spotlight away from that! As for JRM, his company managed funds. You imply that that is his money! Hell, let's knock a bloke down because he ran a successful company! Let's ignore the people he employed, and the Pension Funds that benefitted from his company handling the funds. If the Pension Funds benefitted then they paid out more to their pensioners, meaning more money for those people to spend thereby improving their lives and also helping the overall economy. Yeah, let's knock that eh!

tax rises and employment rights has "dented confidence in the environment for business in the UK", said Anna Leach, chief economist at the Institute of Directors business group. The group said business leader confidence had fizzled out in August with investment intentions for the year ahead seeing the sharpest decline since the beginning of the Covid pandemic lockdowns. Revenue and headcount expectations for business bosses also fell last month. "We are calling on the government to take time to get policy design right for the long-term, and deliver the stable tax and policy framework needed to drive business confidence and investment," Ms Leach added. Just a piece taken from a BBC interview in relation to proposed tax rises aimed at the energy industry, Due to be implemented on 1st November this year Vested interest taking a position. Much better to wait until a detailed policy is published, then we can tear it to shreds or support it. In the meantime it's just people shouting at clouds And just when will this "detailed policy" be published? Has such a thing ever existed?

From what we have seen so far that is a task that is far beyond them.

Well well "The overhaul is part of a “democratisation of the party” which would give Reform members the chance to throw out their leader if things went badly. At the moment it is a limited company with Mr Farage as the major shareholder but Mr Yusuf admitted that this was unsustainable with drawing up a party constitution an early priority" Some of us already pointed this out. Even more so "Nigel Farage ditches Reform UK’s ‘contract with the people’ just 2 months after election After criticism that Reform UK’s election contract with the people was ‘Liz Truss on steroids’, new Reform UK chairman has admitted that the party is working on a new set of policies as well as drawing up rules enabling the party’s leader to be sacked" What an absolute joke It's called evolving.

Do you follow those X users or have they popped up on your account? They just pop up. They are everywhere, there are many funny anti Trump one's out there, but as I stated the other day, A.I and it's technology is truely frightening. Let's get this tech working so we can have driverless trains. It'll save billions of taxpayers money plus stop any future industrial action that holds the taxpayer to ransom.

Are these people in government serious? How can they sit there and spout this utter nonsense.
"House of Commons Leader Lucy Powell claimed Britain could have faced a run on the pound and an economic crash if the Chancellor hadn't axed winter fuel payments to plug the "black hole" Labour has found in the public finances. Ms Powell said there was "no alternative" and the decision was needed to avoid an economic catastrophe. She told Times Radio: "This is one of those very difficult decisions we had to take. "But we have faced this huge additional black hole for this current financial year, borrowing higher than anybody understood. "If we hadn't taken some of these tough decisions we could have seen a run on the pound, interest rates going up and crashing the economy. It's something we were left with no alternative but to do.""

Is that 3 trips to the US? Does anyone know how many trips he's made to Clacton? No, it's been two trips. You are counting the same one twice.....and yes, he has been to his constituency quite a lot.
