I was told I would be fined for a late income tax payment this year. £170. It wasn’t late so I had to appeal it. Found in my favour, but what a waste of everyone’s time. The incompetence boiled my piss.

Well, you didn’t actually answer the question. Plus you haven’t explained why you think the Labour Party are awful.

Unrepentant and hasn’t been punished enough. I agree with Ian.

It’s really not a beautiful building and a dreadful flagship store. I’m happy that progress is at last being made and the regeneration of London’s famous shopping street continues.

And she’s well worth a visit if you are near Bristol. This is the view from my daughter’s window when she lived there last year.

And where would the billions required to do this come from? British Steel losses at £400m a year and arc furnace build not possible until 2032, at a further cost of £1.25bn

It can be considered all you like but it won’t happen. £400m per annum losses until 2032 when the grid can support an arc furnace then another £1.25bn to build it. Not sure UK government stumping up ~£4.5bn any time soon.

This bollocks belongs in a local Facebook group. Starmer is responsible for this? Moronic.

Nice Mark, if you have any counter argument rather than posting pointless pictograms I’d love to hear it. Otherwise you’re going some way to proving my point.

I’m English, lived in Wales 30 years. Wales is too inward looking and too busy blaming England for its problems. An inevitable talentless Senedd as you say. Needs to focus more on how more inward investment can be achieved. If you painted a cat red someone would vote for it.

Yep - that’s one of the reasons Starmer isn’t a fan

Shame, Starmer not her biggest fan. Maybe more to this story, so press would hound. Unusual for a prosecution over a ‘rediscovered’ company phone. Normally you’d be sacked or resign. Overall I think it’s right she goes, keeps the standards high and avoids protracted negative press coverage.

Still a Boris fan girl, I was wetting myself when she was asked today ‘who would make the better prime minister, Boris or Nigel’ she just couldn’t bring herself to say Nigel 😂

I read about the multiple hoops one has to jump through just to be shortlisted as a candidate for your party. That’s before you even get elected. Which tells you something about the hill of goons that this goon stood at the top of.

Yeh, but where does ‘blowing dogs off chains’ come from? This is my personal favourite.

A large part of the story as to why the UK steel industry is such a mess. The steel sector has been lobby the UK government for years about the high cost of energy in the UK.

Most of them are un-stable. 😎

Well, it’s obviously all a marketing executives wet dream. But we all need something to aspire to. You can disagree about what we should aspire to I suppose, but without hope of something better than where we are now, then life becomes miserable I guess.
