Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.

Re: Labour Party
I don't see that. I think that if Salmond's new vehicle sticks around and he ends up in the Scottish Parliament then there could easily end up being some very public strife between different wings of the independence movement which could disillusion a lot of the less passionately secessionist SNP supporters, but it'll take a few years for that sort of thing to really bed in enough to make Labour competitive again.ArmChairCivvy wrote:It's now or never that there is disillusionment among former SNP voters and their votes are up for grabsPseudo wrote: I don't know if that's going to be all that successful in the short-term leading up to the election

"GET OUT OF MY PUB!"
(The Telegraph) 19th April 2021
(The Telegraph) 19th April 2021
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has been told to leave a pub in Bath by its landlord while on a walkabout in the city.
The landlord shouted "that man is not allowed in my pub" and "get out of my pub" as Sir Keir, wearing a black face mask, walked out of the door, with the incident captured on camera by reporters.
It comes just days after a YouGov poll put Labour 14 percentage points behind the Tories - the biggest gap since this time last year.

Particularly odd as it was an arranged visit (organised by the joint owner)

Re: Labour Party
The pub landlord is clearly a conspiracy theorist loon. Which explains the village idiot's approval.

Re: Labour Party
If one cannot speak without getting out of breath, then there's clearly something wrong. Barring people from entering: an interesting topic in itself... but perhaps not for this thread

Re: Labour Party
Shadow Defence Secretary writes that Labour warned Russia was the biggest threat. Also, hates the Indo-Pacific tilt while ignore Labour's foreign adventures in non-NATO regions.

Re: Labour Party
It's possible John Healey has given the matter a great deal of consideration - and draws upon a deep well of hitherto unannounced FP expertise - when he concludes the IR was wrong to pursue the IP 'tilt'...
...but i doubt it.

Re: Labour Party
A re-shuffle. Just not much of one:

Does anyone remember Emily Thornberry as Shadow Defence? Blink and you would have missed it. She was undertaking a thorough review of defence - especially CASD. She took over responsibility for the review from Red Ken Livingston under Comrade Corby. I wish I was making this up.
