Cable Forum - Starmer’s chronicles

Not often you see a Tankie and a Farage-supporting Berks Conservative agree - congratulations… ;)

(even if you’ve approached the agreement from different directions - Seph thinks Starmer is too left-wing, jf thinks he’s too right-wing… :D )

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

As a pensioner who watched Papa freeze to death, I also wish Starmer an emotionally painful and belittling downfall.

BUT - if Burnham’s current attempt to get support from 200+ MPs runs into trouble, don’t yet write Starmer off.

The "from accounts" reference is from the TV series "Colin[a dog] From Accounts". She was never in accounts.

Don't see why a big shift in policies should happen as a one-off result of a by-election in one constituency. Doesn't have the mandate.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

From the little I've bothered reading, it seems Burnham will be making the same 'promises' that Starmer made . . probably followed by the same U-Turns due to the same lack of cash.

Also pushing for HS2 to continue to Manchester . . . a vote loser if ever I saw one :erm:

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

HS2 should have gone to Leeds! Nah - Carth is right; HS2 is an absolute example of what’s wrong with the political class; they are as bats as the bat tunnel. They do not know how to let a contract and the contractors are wise to the governments’ stupidity.

And look at what these projects spawn: huge speeding fines along the A43 where you go through the HS2 works at Brackley..

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Just imagine if all the HS2 money & materials spent to shave 5 minutes off a train journey was instead ploughed into social housing, NHS, dentists (lol) . . in fact anything that would help (rather than decimate) communities
