Hes on something, thats for sure.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Nailed it!

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

You are whinging about Labour not paying so, again, are you happy to stump up the cash to pay for this?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Scrap the triple lock to pay for it. Seems fair enough to me, nobody could complain ;)

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

once again
how do you arrive at that conclusion ? i only pointed out the lies that labour told

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

He's asking you a basic yes or no question. He's not concluding anything.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

i posted an article from the press, i did not post an opinion about the decision not to pay, at this time i do not have an opinion other than it's wrong to lie to the elderly in order to garner their votes, these women were given false hope and that is wrong in my book.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

You are absolutely right papa.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

So Starmer should pay then?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

:xmas:

let me take this opportunity to thank you for paying your taxes and funding my state pension and by extension my boating lifestyle, as to the triple lock i can't see it lasting under this shower, i retired at 61 with no help from the state so not really worried .

He should stop lying to people ,as i have said previously i have no opinion on the payment at this time

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

So basically you just like whingeing about Labour then.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

posting a press release about MP's lying is not whinging it's pointing out the facts as published.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Totally agree with you…

On that point…

- The Conservative Party suspended the triple lock in 2021, breaking a Manifesto pledge
- The Conservatives broke a manifesto commitment to fix the social care crisis, and successive Conservative Governments promised to publish a plan to improve social care - Alzheimers UK found that families are being forced to shoulder 63% of the cost of dementia care (equivalent to £51,000 a year on average)
- Boris Johnson pledged in 2019 that no-one would have to sell their house to pay for social care under a Conservative government. In 2020, more than 17,000 pensioners were forced to sell their homes to pay for social care (reported in the Daily Mail).

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

we know all that, Boris is no longer in politics, and this thread isn't about Boris Johnson its about Stammers chronicles ,bojo is gone get over it.

Anyhoo in a blow to the Government

UK interest rates held at 4.75%

UK interest rates will remain at 4.75% until at least next February after the Bank of England voted to hold borrowing costs.

In its final meeting of the year, the Bank's rate-setting committee decided against further cuts after recent figures showed an increase in both inflation and wage growth.

Bank governor Andrew Bailey has previously indicated that while rates will fall further - after two cuts this year - the decline would be gradual.

The Bank will next meet at the beginning of February when it will also give an update of its forecasts for the British economy.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

It was a question, not a conclusion. :erm:

No.

You're making it up again. :sleep:
Still, that does apply to some here, across different parties. ;)
