  1. What is that dig about her being 'kept a secret' ? They have been together since Uni and have three adult children. She has her own career. Nothing about her is hidden, even her family's issues with breast cancer. Who knew much about Mrs Starmer before he became Labour leader ? I'd rather this sort of solid family foundation than a shagaholic scarecrow like Bojo.
  2. If it's not "dug up" it will be made up.
  3. She is on the Board of public charging provider Be.EV, something he openly stated in his Declaration of Member's Interests, and he recused himself from decisions relating to the company's work in Manchester. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/18/andy-burnham-says-clean-air-zone-critics-made-false-claims-about-wifes-interests
  4. On 28th June 1976 it was 35.6C in Southampton, the highest June temperature so far recorded in the UK, in the middle of 15 days of temperatures reaching over 32C in England, and I was sitting my "O" levels.
  5. "The owner of Coventry Airport has said his firm is yet to see any financial benefit from Brexit, 10 years after the UK voted to leave the EU." "Rigby said: "We are yet to see an economic benefit from Brexit, a windfall, if you like. We continue to have a fiscal drag, estimated at 4-5% of our economy. "We're sat here today, still feeling that Brexit was the wrong decision."" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c17ynn7w2nzo
  6. A Tory spokesman said a GE was not necessary.
  7. What does it matter ? It's not as if anybody would be honest in answering.
  8. Try this line of enquiry with Guided Missile, he is equally as socially insecure as you, desperate to find some metric that apparently proves you're 'superior' to everybody else.. You can have a private dick measuring contest - as Father Ted might put it "This is small, that is far away".
  9. Ah yes, Thatcher's other lasting financial legacy, selling off the North Sea oil rather than creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
  10. This is about your size; £15 at Argos.
  11. Even limited just to SaintsWeb he has 2 challengers for the title.
  12. You typed all of that from memory without any outside assistance, excellent work. I'm impressed.

  15. At the District and Borough level perhaps, but regional Mayors are completely different, probably more power than any non-Cabinet MP.
  16. That just show how far the country has declined economically under Starmer.
  17. Wikipedia summarises the IMF, the World Bank, and the UN. Unless, of course, all of those sources are wrong.
  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita We are 19th out of 189 in this table just behind Germeny, wnd ahead of France and Italy among so many others. What are the "true issues" ?
  19. What if Burnham doesn't win the leadership contest ?
  20. Of course, Government debt NEVER increased during the many years of Tory Government. Similarly for the military, many years of Tory defence cuts led us to where we are today, and I'm not sure how you expected Starmer to reverse the trend whilst at the same time giving you the reduction in taxes you seem to demand. Militsry expenditure has been an easy target since John Nott in 1982.
  21. I never said he was doing a good job, in fact my assessment a couple of months ago was "disappointing". However, I do not think he has "proceeded to make everything way worse", that is demonstrably untrue.
  22. You look at the World from a seriously skewed perspective.
  23. Sadly, so did the rest of us.
