How about raising the state pension to a level where pensioners don't need any help with their winter fuel costs? It's not that complicated.

Would Labour be better off if he went before or after the local elections?

Probably!

FFS Cymru, hasn't this grifter shafted us all enough already. How many more lies will people fall for. I really think people should have an IQ test before being allowed to vote

We should have better public education to explain that the decisions that affect thier daily lives - housing, education, health etc - are made in the Senedd, and that the Reform grifters are ideologically opposed to improving any of them.

They are a pro-big business English nationalist party.

How can we forget the Tories with the current continuity government keeping their flame alive?

We still have the lowest state pension in the developed world so big deal.

They want Mahmood. Cooper's not Blue Labour enough for them.

My money is on Mahmood, she is a member of Blue Labour and will fulfill their hate-filled anti-immigrant brexity fantasy.

Labour are making exactly the same choice as the Tories did. Child poverty and use of food banks are still increasing.

They only removed the 2 child benefit cap, restored the WFA & reigned in their PIP refirms because even their own base wouldn't accept any more wanton cruelty.

And 2 laptops!

Blimey there are a lot of Labour cultists defending Starmer that need blocking today!

It's like the zombie apocalypse.

Pedro Sanchez has survived attacks from the press on him and his family every day since 2017 and survived so far.

Never mind Brexit, bigotry and support of genocide then eh?

Skills? You mean being a crook?

I agree!

WW1: Up to half a million German soldiers were struck down with Spanish Flu, which the German high command claimed was a major factor in stalling their advance and ruining their final campaigns. About 100,000 soldiers died from it in the last year of the war, more than were killed in combat.

Thank you for mansplaining what issues people are allowed to take into account when considering their voting intentions.

Personally I'll not vote for the corrupt liars who promised change but delivered Tory continuity austerity, bigotry and support for genocide, it would send the wrong message.

Are you seriously suggesting that appointing one of the architects of your political project to the very highest diplomatic post (despite having no diplomatic experience) is not cronyism?

You cannot be serious (to use a tennis term).

Looks like you already have, but with the bread tin white bread. I have been attempting the rural wholemeal which looks a bit fancier (I am sure they both taste great!) and I use olive oil and honey rather than say butter and sugar.

We don't want the same in the UK. That's exactly the point.

When corruption and cronyism is revealed at the very head of government you can't say "oh well never mind, it's a bit inconvenient right now, so we'll just look the other way."

We deserve better.

When someone tells you who they are...

Bravo!

Precisely!

I am bewildered that so many "progressives" defend a Brexit party that refuses to oppose genocide, and is aggressively attacking the rights of immigrants.

And then tell us that they are the only bulwark against Reform, whose policies they are pretty much aligned with!

Unfortunately this platform is full of Labour cult apologists who disagree with us.

They are trying to gaslight us into believing that if Starmer goes we get Farage, because they are terrified of a progressive alliance sweeping away 16 years of continuity government at the next GE

Two wrongs don't make a right.

The fact that the corrupt Tory criminals got away with it doesn't meant that the continuity Labour govt should be allowed to.

Yep, been there. I have progressed to something much more edible, it took a few attempts!

It clearly wasn't that hard

I don't!

Only Labour cultists would defend him.

He appointed the crooked mate of a convicted paedophile to suck up to a rapist president.

Please end this 16 yr continuity government with a progressive alliance.

Greens, PC and SNP are ready.

Starmer is a disingenuous opportunist No one but Labour cultists would defend him.

We need some honesty and integrity in our politics, not seedy chuminess with a paedophile president.

We need a progressive alliance to replace the cesspit continuity government that has polluted WM for last 16 yrs.
