I sensed even the host thought the other guests we’re being irrational in failing to see the comparisons. The right wing press must be loving labour’s acquiescence in spite of its stonking parliamentary majority

Used car prices affect the depreciation and therefore value of new cars. Please try harder Moseman.

May I fact check you when you use the word ‘claims’ when they were actually ‘known lies’

Ok here goes…if Johnson had been more ambivalent to Ukraine from the start, the Tories would now be more comfortable cutting Ukraine loose now. That he invested so much in Zelenskyy and Ukraine (for his own noble reasons!) means that Badenoch’s Skripal moment is not good for her.

What would have been more convincing if she said where he should cut instead or taxes he would have raised. I’m sorry but this could be dismissed by Starmer having to make the hard choices with the hand he’s got.

Cynically I think the Trump administration is trying to create a wedge between the UK and EU but Starmer’s government is still playing an awful hand remarkably well.

Farage makes more sense than Badenoch and I don’t say this lightly

Here’s an oversimplified theory. The far right’s response to limited financial opportunity is for women to stay at home and men to be paid more (somehow). The left is to increase pay for both genders and tax the wealthy.

Road hauliers can shut down motorways and cities and the BBC gave uncritical coverage and the Tories supported them

Ok - this maybe a personal prejudice but the need for diversity, equity and inclusion makes absolute sense commercially and ethically. It’s the people who conduct the training that make me hate it !

Is this ignorance (not being prepared) or a deliberate attempt to weave a narrative that appeals to her target audience (who aren’t going to go into the detail)?

Those members are terrible judges of character for putting her first (see also Johnson et al…)

I taught myself to juggle in the mid 90s for some reason (time + dope). Its the one thing that I can do that still gets admiring looks (I’m not in a cool crowd)

It’s easy to be bipartisan when you’re capitulating to the other side. Your idea of Republicans being bipartisan is when they took all that infrastructure money through gritted teeth. Oooooh how you showed them!

Let’s not do the Melanie hates Trump thing. She can find him both physically repulsive but still be 100% behind him politically.

She passes or fails (?) the weird test. Like Truss, the public just thinks she’s odd.

Am I right in thinking she is the only member of the cabinet that went to a private school? If so they may want to lean into that (joking).

I guess if money is no object, ‘asking’ repeatedly is not a problem. That’s the ‘economics’ of gaming the system.

Is that right? The table(3) below suggests otherwise, likely to make farmers less Brexit than other rural voters. BTW I still disagree that this is an unfair tax on farmers, they are right wing equivalent of the RMT

If Term 2 is anything like Term 1, the noise and fury will be more than the reality. I fear more for the domestic protestors/immigrants/Ukranians/Gazans than I do for the global impact of tariffs. I don’t see Trump having the stamina to reverse decades of global economic trading patterns.

Trump seeks reelection(?) before Labour. That’s a lot of water to go under the bridge. If I was Keir I would stop being timid and use the majority they have as if it’s their last term. Populist leaders would see the Labour majority as a ringing endorsement - maybe show the same level of humility?

Better quality in posting and responses (not having to wade through blue tick crypto morons). One issue, it thinks I like cats, I don’t, I love dogs.
