Did you see the paragraph?

He made an antisemitic remark, one of several he's made previously.

He's then basically gone on to say it was true and it shouldn't be an arrestable offence.

It's antisemitic because I saw the original and it was a reply to me.

Also it wasn't "the clown in charge" who introduced the legislation that could see him arrested.

Which, in itself, is antisemitic.

No banned because you're racist, antisemitic and probably a lot of other things.

This nutcase should have been banned long ago. It's not the worst thing I've seen posted on here without sanction though.

It's what happens in a coalition government. Just look at Northern Ireland and Theresa May's government.

It's good that Plaid didn't slide with Labour. Slightly more democratic in my opinion.

It is what needs to be looked in to. Benefits including the state pension should not increase by more than people earn.

That would be great. We just can't afford it for a couple of years yet.

Easy solution to this. Abolish the triple lock and increase pensions in line with inflation or wages alone.

A pensioner will get a 5.5% increase an NHS carer likley to get about half of that.

No wonder we need immigrants

I forgot about Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge. Or should it be Baroness Johnson?? I don't suppose we'll ever really know. She definitely reminds me of someone though.

Excellent news. It's a completely barbaric practice.

It did cost a lot, but in the main stuck by recommendations from independent pay reviews. And Labour had to stump up a lot of back pay they shouldn't really have needed to.

Having read Johnson's memoir, the relationship with the EU was terrible. Fuelled mainly by Cummings and friends. I'm no fan of the EU but they're are biggest partner. We need them.

I must say though Johnson did say the UK could be the Saudi Arabia of wind power. He was right about that, it's a shame it was so difficult to deliver.

I don't think accepting free Taylor Swift tickets is up there with appointing Dido Harding and Kate Bingham to the two most important civil service roles during the biggest crisis to hit the world in a generation.

Springsteen tickets maybe, but not Taylor Swift.

Off the top of my head.

Ended industrial action in key services.

Delivered the 2 million NHS appt target early.

Deported record number of failed asylum seekers.

Binned the idiotic Rwanda plan.

Massively increased raids to target illegal workers.

Closed a massive tax loophole.

Introduced the child wellbeing bill (The tories and reform voted against this)

Overturned restrictions on onshore wind development.

Improved a childlike relationship with the EU.

As I've said. I don't vote Labour. But they're an imporvement on the Tories, who themselves are more sensible than reform.

Why let the facts get in the way of an X post. It doesn't bother Elon.

And on the subject of manifesto pledges not being kept, what are Reform's policies on net zero?

We don't know. But it was clearly in the manifesto and in media highlights of the manifesto. Labour won a mandate to govern on that basis. They delivered on a manifesto promise.

The speed limit was stupid but the petition wasn't ignored it was just vastly smaller than the those who voted for the speed limit to be imposed or didn't vote at all despite it being made clear. Public opinion has now led to a change in policy.

The problem is that people are now comparing completely unrelated topics. The first post calls this "virtue signalling". It's obviously not and nobody has been ignored.

My personal opinion (as an owner of an ex racing greyhound) is well done. It's time for this sport to be banned across the UK.

They didn't define it, they should have as it stood it was a stupid pledge.

An honest manifesto would have said something like

"we've inherited a shit show, it's going to cost a fortune to put right, we've all got to pay and you probably won't notice a difference for 10 years or so"

None of them will do that because nobody would vote for them.

This government is a poison chalice. Labour haven't been great but they've done ok (ISH).

We're skint and need to raise an awful lot of money. There's no easy or popular way to do it.
