Cable Forum - Starmer’s chronicles

Well you tell me what bit of my statement is incorrect and we can have a discussion.

I don’t recall what happens after the vote being described, promised or explained on the ballot.

You’re right - just like every other election, what happens after the vote isn’t described, promised or explained on the ballot - probably because the only things on there are the candidates and their Parties’ names, and a box to make one’s mark…

It was ten years ago, you know.

Far higher than many countries, but a small bit of good news for Labour.

Quote:

Inflation sticks at 3.8%

Inflation remained the same in September at 3.8%, the latest Office for National Statistics figures show.

While the figure is still relatively high, it's lower than expected.

Economists had widely predicted that it would reach a peak of 4% in September before starting to fall.

3.8 is for all intents and purposes 4, and these things are always revised afterwards, I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher than 4.

Either way, there is nothing to celebrate here.

What's our coward leader doing apart from handing the responsibility to the relevant authority? Is that all a leader does, delegate power ?
