Maybe he's going to be more effective and assertive than some of us thought

He has the potential to do great things. He’s in a position of enormous power and influence. As I’ve said in a previous thread, if he can act with honour and just 25% socialist policy this could be a moment in history. I’m not writing him off. But neither does he or any person in power get an adoring free pass from me.
He must be eating plenty of red green apples.
I agree he's got to hit the ground runningQuote:

He's only been in the job 5 minutes and he's established 'we have too many prisoners ' I think we are in safe hands.
I have never criticised Starmer and i wish him all the best but this is the easiest speech of his life.Quote:

Starmer is boring and about as uninspiring as an unbuttered ham sandwich on shit white bread. He also has no answers, which will mean he will be found out all the words he has used against the Tories will be thrown back at him in due course.Quote:

Not really Peter. Lots of countries were lining up behind it. Could be a historic mistake, especially if continental countries beat us to implementing such a policy.Quote:

I can see why you are unhappy.
I always had some silly idea that the Tory Rwanda plan was so half baked in its unequeness that no sane other nation would follow it as it inexorably led you to becoming a leper under international law to make it work.Quote:

Tories still got 120 seats after 14 years of utter corruption and incompetence. Labour get one week to sort it out.
As with so many critics of the UK Cyril, you seem to do it from a position of not knowing what is happening across Europe.Quote:
