The clothes thing was weird as donor could have just donated further to party and they could dip into funds for appearance purposes. couldn’t care less about hospitality stuff - gone on since dawn of time. As to what I think of first days - not impressed. Haven’t taken huge interest in what went wrong with Gray. The WFP was poorly done and too soon. Should have planned mitigation for the needy but I have no issues with it being removed. Whilst I welcomed Starmer as refreshing change and he has more honour - all reports say he is ruthless but still seems weak to me and often wants to be all things to all men. Just plot your course and fuck the noise although finances dictate. Although I was never happy that Reeve made a big thing about keeping the restrictive fiscal rules - expect will all about u turns after the budget but they are a nonsense and all this ‘run on the pound’ hype suggests a labour govt is in the hands of the financial spivs. The negative stuff will soon be forgotten if make a difference though and if the voters see no tangible difference anywhere will clearly weaken them. What is clear though is media will be relentless in trying to bring them down daily.

Agree a ridiculous response by Starmer and his team. Needs better comms people and whoever gave him that advice is pretty shit at their job. Helps perpetuate the story, gives ammo as now an acknowledgement as wrong as you say! and then gives media a bar to hold all others to account which should have been foreseen “Prime Minster you gave this back why hasn’t Rayner done the same?’ etc.

Taking a concert ticket has disillusioned you and ruined your thoughts that there woudl be a level of purity where they woudl now be declined? These are perks that go with fame/power in so many areas. Seems now everyone say ‘aha but what were they getting in return?’ Fck all I expect and why the fuck doesn’t Taylor Swift take the Tube like the rest of us?

And webcams showing the dark and you can only make out it was oissing down

As someone mentioned when the pictures of Starmer at Swift concert came out at the time did anyone think I bet he was logged on to Ticketmaster with his credit card airing to secure those tickets? Most know how the world works. Their response to this has been woeful and so not helped themselves and giving back some of it was mad.

I truly pity how desperate some of you are to lap this stuff up. Although Sky News milking this one as they think they have some sort of scoop. Boring as fuck. i await Hypo saying how disappointed he is as Yvette Cooper is just the same as Boris Johnson

Media seem desperate to tell us how much carnage there has been and then disappointed when it downgrades and not too much to report so far

At least this time whatever mad fucker they choose will have fuck all impact on our lives. The nasty little fucker Jenrick won’t even have the power to paint over a kid’s mural as he fully gets behinds mad fucker Badenoch.

They could learn a thing or two from King Canute

And more prisons to accommodate 10% of the civil service

Mental if true

10 more years, 10 more years

I have to turn off when he comes on. Really irritating delivery and too fucking excitable. No didn’t know that. I’m sure he is an ok bloke beneath the tv persona

Tbf whenever it has come with any pensioners I have spoken to they have all said fair enough and not complained about losing it, although they are by no means only getting state pension. I can’t believe HMRC and DWP shouldn’t come up with something crude like you still get it if income is less than £20k pa

I propose we give disability benefit to everyone as there are genuine people who need it and might not know how to claim it

Martin Lewis the stupid man’s hero. He’s as publicity seeking as Piers Morgan. Great that the WFP sorted out pensioners with dementia eh.

What about resisting her blackness?

It’s the platinum triple lock that took a high CPI in September the previous year. 10.1% I believe. Of course pensions need to be indexed link to counter inflation but it is the most protected of any other benefit. a single mum isn’t getting 10.1% increase and guess what……their fuel prices have gone up too.

What is laughable is Tories getting so worked up when it suits. Anyone would think WFA was brought in by Bevan.

What’s £900 minus £200?

Hope Labour are planning to build more morgues for all dead Tory pensioners come the cold snap? Bet they haven’t even laid out their plans to fund them. Broom broom.

Slow speaking football pundits. Fucking get on with it. And while I’m at it you don’t need to say ‘football club’ after team name
