The Daily Express, Daily Mail, etc. must think their readers are stupid to believe the garbage they put out. Maybe they have a point. They do definitely rely on the inability to do any basic fact checking and research.

If shes "depressed" then maybe she should quit and let someone competant take over.

'If' doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I'm no Reeves fan and would love to see her gone but where's the evidence of her depression?

We’re only 6 months in to this dumpster fire of a government.

All the other parties and independents in Parliament need to call a motion of confidence on the Chancellor and the government’s fiscal policy.

They can’t tax their way out of this, they have to bin their entire fiscal plans and start again.

Reeves running off to China and ducking her responsibilities is now being referred to as the Peeking Duck in parliament.

Objectively, it's a stretch to say that travelling to China to drum up trade was ducking her responsibilities.

I’m seriously tempted to change this thread’s title back to ‘Sir Keir’s Kerfuffle’.

Quote:

Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq has resigned after growing pressure over an anti-corruption investigation in Bangladesh.
The Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate had referred herself to the PM's standards adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, but insisted she has done nothing wrong.
Whether or not she actually is mired in any of this is besides the point. The tin-eared refusal to accept that someone whose brief includes anti corruption can’t stay in post while they remain implicated in a corruption scandal is jaw-dropping. She was always going to have to resign and all this inept government has achieved in not dealing with it the first opportunity is yet more unfavourable headlines.

They should have learnt from BoJo's government that having a big majority does not prevent you from being accountable. I know that some obsessed about Reeves' trade mission to China, but this was the real negative story.

It's not up to me which stories, or more likely non-stories, you focus your time on.

China isn’t interested in buying our debt at knock down prices.
