It's great news. We wouldn't have these results if Trump hadn't won the election.

It's a few years ago but I have the PMs from the time when he was requesting personal details. Really didn't like people looking into his personal details and what he did for a job.

He threatened to sue someone on here as well.

So competent that you are calling for the removal of his Chancellor after six months in charge. Is that a sign of competence?

No blacks. Some won't be happy. Pretty good hosts from my point of view.

In other hilarious news. Starmer is getting desperate.

Well this isn't happening then.

Agreed.

Speaking of which...

Are the people who left Brighton still available? If so get them in.

I thought he was part of sports Republic?

Really good they've recognised a lack of drive and leadership.

In the recent past we've had LBC, the Guardian, James O'brien and now Little Owen Jones. Is that a bingo?

Well I wouldn't support that obviously. I'd definitely support British citizens getting preferential treatment in general though. That should include first dibs on homes.

Are they applying it to second homes? Or are they applying it to non EU citizens buying homes for profit?

Spain first. Good for them. We could do some of that.

Don't disagree with that. I never understood the logic of removing Sure Start centres which were working very well and had become something of a hub of support for parents in need. When you focus purely on the balance sheet, you lose schemes that lose money on paper but provide intangible benefits that are hard to measure in purely financial terms.

I agree nothing is set in stone and as I said they could turn things around. Let's not pretend though that if the roles were reversed we would be getting posters on here asking that we reserve judgement on the Tories until the end of their five year term. It's perfectly possible to judge and pass comment throughout a term in office whilst reserving an overall judgement at its conclusion.

I don't think anyone has claimed that, just that Labour should get the same level of criticism for their handling of a poor economy after six months that any other political party would have. Of course they get an amount of leeway given the hand they were given but that's not the same as a solving them of their responsibilities and the choices they have made that haven't worked out at all so far. Maybe they will turn things around and we will see a neutral economy or even a small amount of steady growth this year and then they will rightly take the praise for that.

So what they are doing now does have an affect and they do have a share of responsibility for the state of things now.

What if Labour had taken different decisions since getting into power and we hadn't seen as much uproar, loss of business confidence, breaking records for the wrong reasons etc? If everything was inevitable regardless then are we saying that the government is an irrelevance and doesn't matter?

Good point. Should we have given Lizz Truss 5 years before passing judgement? Was the woeful performance of the economy during her short tenure her fault and responsibility? Or was she simply screwed by her predecessor?

I'm not pinning every bit of economic news in him. I am saying that his government's choices are having a negative effect on an economy that was already shit. They're the ones that went on about bringing stability and the adults being in charge. It's been anything but stable so far.

You know that banning someone for merely discussing the possibility of a lab leak is draconian and unacceptable but you don't have the guts to admit that so you run away like I said. Pathetic.
