Anyone who is wondering why Harris hasnt done any interviews since taking over from Biden a few weeks ago should watch some of her previous interviews from 2022 / 2023 on Youtube...I have to say that she makes Biden sound coherent,no wonder she is being carefully hidden away. Your knowledge of the political dynamics being played out in the USA is shallow to the point of being unrecognisable. Keep trying though Why do you say that Oldie? It is pretty obvious she is being hidden away. How else do you explain not a single press conference nor a media interview in a month!

Begs the question, with that many convictions why wasn't he in prison for life already? No prison spaces available OK, so with 31 sex offences against kids under the age of 13 he should have been executed.

The man was kicked, punched and berated by hooligans intent from the start on causing trouble. Gilchrest - who runs his own social media channel - describes himself as a 'freedom fighter' and 'critical thinker'. He filmed the sickening attack, and was eventually brought to justice after cops watched the footage. The video also led to detectives making a disturbing discovery at his home. As Gilchrest was arrested at the property on North Road, Clayton - 10 days after violence flared in the city centre - a hoard of Nazi paraphernalia was found, including images of the Swastika; a depiction of two young, saluting children; and other right-wing flags. Manchester Crown Court was also told Gilchrest has 18 previous convictions for 67 offences. Up to 31 of those were for sex offences against children under 13. He has 14 offences of failing to comply with the notifications of the sex offender register on his record. Gilchrest was last before the courts in November 2023 for possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, namely two batons'Already added to the list I see: far-rightcriminals.com/far-right-sexual-offences/Begs the question, with that many convictions why wasn't he in prison for life already?

Windrush.... "The 'welcome' recorded by the Pathé footage does not tell the full story either. Just two days after the Windrush docked, a group of 11 Labour MPs wrote to Prime Minister Clement Attlee calling for a halt to the "influx of coloured people". Attlee's reply, available to view in the National Archives, said that "it would be a great mistake to take the emigration of this Jamaican party to the United Kingdom too seriously"." politicians were lying about immigration even back then!

Another dodgy appointment.....
"Yet another politicised civil service appointment appears to be on the cards for the government. Labour Together campaigner Jess Sargeant is rumoured to have been appointed to a top civil service role. Labour is already under serious fire for hiring its own donors and ex-Labour Together staff to top civil service positions in blatant cronyism…
Sargeant, a former constitution wonk at the Institute for (Big) Government-turned-Starmerite activist, joined Labour Together to direct its constitutional work programme in December last year and began working closely with shadow ministers. Now she is said to be starting work as the Deputy Director of the Cabinet Office’s Propriety and Constitution Group. Sue Gray’s old team, and the one – Guido kids you not – responsible for “ensuring the highest standards of propriety and ethics across all government departments”…
The group supports departments to uphold standards and, surprise surprise – manages Whitehall’s relations with the Civil Service Commission, which manages, among other things, the impartiality of civil service jobs. Is Labour looking to install a Starmer loyalist at the heart of the civil service machine?
Guido approached the Cabinet Office, who said “We’ll come back to you“. Eight hours later the standard Labour Party line when asked about its cronyistic appointments was issued: “We do not comment on individuals.” Jess’ soon-to-be senior Darren Tierney declined to deny the appointment when asked, directing Guido with a sigh instead to the press office…
A Deputy Director with such a broad scope will have access to reams of sensitive information and will get live updates on ethical breaches throughout government. Sargeant has deleted her LinkedIn profile and taken her Twitter private – a typical sign of an impending slide into government. Has the Civil Service Commission been made aware of Sargeant’s recent Labour Party activism as a Starmtrooper member of the Labour Together cadre? "

Two tier Tice- Richard Tice says that public sector pay rises are a catastrophe for the UK's finances Richard Tice says that we should all aspire to earn high incomes like Nigel Farage's £1.2 million a year from media commitments like GB News ... The BBC have now admitted that the 1.2m a year figure is false. They took his earnings for three months and extrapolated that over a year. These internet rumours are catching a lot of people out aren't they. Also, Farage's earnings come from a private company, not the taxpayer.

If we are talking about corruption with donors we haven't mentioned the biggest one of all. The NEC control the Labour Party. There are 39 people who sit on the NEC, including Starmer and Rayner. Of those 39 people, 13 are Union Leaders. The Unions bankroll the Labour Party. This government, on behalf of the taxpayer, are negotiating pay rises with the very people who bankroll them. Actually negotiate is a poor word, as it should really read capitulate.

No, my point is that you seem to get a hard on by constantly attacking Farage and Reform when you are ignoring the other parties, especially the ruling government! This thread is to examine the progress of the Labour government. All you are interested in is deflection. Shall we talk about Labour killing the Social Reform Bill which would have capped the amount families pay for Social Care? A subject that has real meaning for some forum users. No hard on. I just gun for the biggest hypocrites. Johnson, Rees - Mogg, Corbyn, Farage. Farage is the worse of the lot. An utter con man. Let's not forget Nobby you, personally, suggested Farage and Reform was the party we should be voting for. You did the same in 2010...now you say that lot were incompetent. You left Starmer out of your list of hypocrites. Did you not see the video at the top of this page? Yes, in 2010 I did expect the Tories to do well. The 2024 lot were a disgrace.

Another point is that I work in the finance industry, as does Cheshire. I bet he has to follow the same rules as me, and if we were found to have accepted any of these freebies it would be a sackable offence. Compliance would hammer us with rules drawn up by politicians.

Oh dear. "Summer may be the time MPs head back to their constituencies, though that hasn’t stopped many members attending the social events of the season on all expenses-paid freebie tickets. The latest update to the Members’ Register of Interests has revealed our parliamentarians have been enjoying Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the Chelsea Flower Show, the Pet Shop Boys and plenty of football among other events. Here are some of the more interesting examples… Football proved a popular freebie for our MPs. In the cabinet alone, Keir Starmer, David Lammy, Jonathan Reynolds, Wes Streeting and Pat McFadden were amongst those bagging free tickets, usually on the padded seat of a hospitality box. Their visits alone were worth over £6,000. Score… Some of the summer’s biggest music events were also attended by our parliamentarians. Former Tory Chair Richard Holden bagged a camping ticket at Glastonbury valued at £950, Labour newbie Polly Billington saw a Pet Shop Boys performance at The Royal Opera House worth £500, and Pat McFadden got freebie tickets for him and his wife to see Bruce Springsteen. Saving £328 in the process… Keir Starmer snagged four tickets worth £4,000 to see Talyor Swift’s Eras Tour. Corbynista Dan Carden, Labour’s Kim Johnson, Catherine McKinnell, now former Labour MP Ian Byrne also enjoyed the concert worth a total of £4,700. Not such a Cruel Summer for them… A whopping £22,221 worth of tickets and hospitality was dished out by donors for members to attend the British Grand Prix. Tory MP Greg Smith, the biggest recipient, bagged six tickets worth over £7,300, while Priti Patel found herself in the ‘Legends Suite’, to the value of £3,300. Nice to qualify for those tickets… Wimbledon tickets accounted for another £2,112 worth of freebies. Scottish Labour MPs Tracy Gilbert and Gordon McKee two finals tickets worth £275 each, whilst LibDem’s Layla Moran, Labour’s Stephanie Peacock and Toby Perkins all attended earlier matches. Advantage of being an MP… Three MPs secured entry to the Chelsea Flower Show, with Tan Dhesi scooping hospitality tickets worth £895. Jeremy Hunt and his wife received tickets worth £370, as did the appropriately named Tulip Siddiq. Social events aside, some MP’s have been generating eye-watering sums on the international circuit, namely Suella Braverman. She netted £56,171 for ‘speaking engagements’ in South Korea, expensing £27,801 for a four-night trip to Israel with her husband. At least she has her speeches to fall back on since she crashed out of the Tory leadership race…" More infoSo, What you saying? Our Nige is NOT the radical alternative to the cesspit you so detest...he is just like all the rest? So much for a radical alternative and shaking up the cozy establishment.

Nobody has turned a blind eye to the incompetent Tories, which is why they got voted out. It's just that you mentioned only the Tories in your criticism. You never mentioned Labour. Your implication is that this was just a Tory habit, but I am just pointing out that Labour are just as guilty. As far as I am aware, Reform have not given any jobs in government to donors so why mention them? So now we are holding this Labour government to account, but all you can come back with is "what about the Tories"! Or Reform who only have 6 MP's! Less than 2 months in and "our Nige" accepts £30k odd to pay for a trip to the States, implausibly to support the "Orange" one in his hour of need. Then, even more hilariously, to put Clacton on the "World Stage" If that was a Monty Python sketch it would be rejected for being too silly. Others might suggest it is "False Accounting and Obtaining Money by Deception"...but I couldn't possibly comment. Has he set up his constituency office yet? Held a surgery? Anything...at all? Oh dear. "Summer may be the time MPs head back to their constituencies, though that hasn’t stopped many members attending the social events of the season on all expenses-paid freebie tickets.

Not sneering Cheshire. Why. can't you and Oldie discuss the issue? You stated that the Tories rewarded their donors. I'm just pointing out that Labour do the same, and provided the evidence. And my view is that all politicians should be held to account of whatever political persuasion. It is the hypocrisy and willingness of some to attack Labour after a short time in action whilst turning blind eyes to the Tories of 14 years and the actions of the Reform Party Ltd MPs who can do no wrong and they will defend to the hilt. Nobody has turned a blind eye to the incompetent Tories, which is why they got voted out. It's just that you mentioned only the Tories in your criticism. You never mentioned Labour. Your implication is that this was just a Tory habit, but I am just pointing out that Labour are just as guilty.

I am not sat on any high moral fence.When you pay contributions to your Pension, you may well be paying a higher rate of tax due to earnings, so someone avoids paying 40% tax on their contributions. When they withdrawl money from the pension they will pay tax at a far lower rate. No matter how you dress the window, it is Tax Avoidance! The poor will die! Yet you and Oldie support the scrapping of the Winter Fuel Allowance! But you are Nobby. You criticise us about the Winter Allowance but you would get away with paying No Tax if you could and if we all did that then there would be NO WA full stop..... No, I have not said anything of the sort. All I have said is that I would do everything I could to reduce my tax.

Yes he has, and all you are trying to do is deflect! The undeniable story here is a Labour donor being given a top job. Who cares where the story came from? It's called hypocrisy which you are so eager to point out. I want all politicians to play the game including Labour politicians. And no, Guido Fawkes hasn't pointed out the depths of Tory corruption, he is a right wing blogger who backed most of the corrupt Tory politicians and their actions. He was also as close to Boris Johnson as you can get. So yes it is important to know their background. You obviously don't really follow Guido. He will go after any politician.

Well Oldie. You have mentioned on here that you have a good private pension. When you contribute to a Private Pension scheme you are indulging in Tax Avoidance. Also, do you know where your Pension Company invest? Cheshire, you said you worked for a Bank? I'll bet my bottom dollar that that Bank indulges in every form of Tax Avoidance it can. Pleased step down from that moral high ground. Well, I didn't take the tax relief, I had that exact value redirected to the pension fund. I was not avoiding tax, I was adhering to the tax regulations at the time. And yes, I knew where the funds were invested, we set up the Pension Scheme with REA Brothers as our advisers and each eligible stakeholder had their investments predicated upon their risk profile (common practice) and for a few of us we could be more specific. But I accept your general point, most pension holders do not track their investments nor pension provider performance. Ill informed and lazy, people just expect their pensions to "just be there" "I was adhering to the tax regulations at the time." , so no different to anyone who uses tax laws to reduce their taxes!
