If you’re not a teacher and:
-You didn’t like that some schools gave an option to go home early this week then do the job.
-You’re jealous of the holidays then do the job.
-You think it’s easy then do the job.
If you’ve got a lot to say about the job but don’t do it, then do the job.
Why are people acting like all the teachers in the UK formed some kind of secret club to get the day off work because they 'can't be arsed & wanna sunbathe.' As if teachers get to decide what goes on 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Can someone explain to me who chose Andy Burnham to be British Prime Minister? He wasn’t even an MP. He was given a seat and being crowned immediately as PM. This is absolute proof that the electorate are of zero relevance in this country. Anyone who still believes Britain is a democracy is extremely naive.
"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"
Keir Starmer has done some things I have not agreed with but he has done many that I appreciate such as improving our standing on the world stage and keeping us out of a damaging war.
I want him to continue. I don’t want Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting or any other chancer.
@piersmorgan You see , people like you & the mainstream media really really piss me off . You think we are falling for this shit? The lies you feed us, the hysteria you create … all bullshit … this was staged.
Our media fixation with Keir Starmer is becoming a literal drag on the country now.
As I write this, I can already see the replies forming below, accusing me of being a Labour shill etc. but, believe it or not, I am not.
Maybe it's worth setting this out — I have no party affiliation. None. I'm not 'on the right' … but that's as far as it goes.
There are policies and people that I admire across the Lib Dems, Greens and Labour. Conversely, there are policies and people I am vehemently against within each of those parties as well.
There are some decent Conservatives left but fewer and fewer in frontline politics and I can have excellent discussions with those moderate Tories that remain.
Where my line in the sand is drawn though, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the far-right. Reform UK and Restore Britain. I have no common ground with their populism — I see through the propaganda.
This doesn't mean that I think every member of Reform UK is a bad person, far from it, but I cannot rationalise their top-line bravado into credible politics.
So, with all that being said, I think the witch-hunt of Keir Starmer is distracting the public from some far more serious crises.
Since the very day Starmer took office, there has been an onslaught from the media; desperation to try and topple him and his principal team. This played out successfully with Angela Rayner, and they have been vicious and relentless pursuing Rachel Reeves.
I listened to Paul Brand on LBC at the weekend continuously comparing Starmer to Boris Johnson in terms of sleaze.
Have we collectively lost our minds? There is no other Prime Minister in history that compares to Johnson for scandal.
The elephant in the room — Peter Mandelson.
But is it really an elephant still? Clearly, Starmer should never have brought the Prince of Darkness into his team, that was a madness and severe failing of judgement. One for which he has accepted responsibility and apologised on multiple occasions.
The vetting process appears to be, pretty much, a non-story, despite what Dan Hodges and GB News are shovelling out.
So … we should be moving on. Shouldn't we?
Kemi Badenoch and her famously robust judgement felt not yesterday, and spent more of her diminishing political currency by pushing Starmer with six questions at PMQs on the subject. She was met with a well briefed lawyer, that, in all honesty, made her look a bit silly for continuing her defeated line of questioning.
While this continues to dominate the headlines, other far more crucial issues are being missed — we're going to run low on fuel soon, the cost of living is about to skyrocket, holidays will be cancelled imminently.
But mainly ... the cost of living is about to skyrocket.
We saw in yesterday's inflation rise that food is already moving upward, if Trump's ludicrous war in Iran continues, then we're all going to suffer the consequences.
Surely, this is a far more pressing matter? One in which the government should be fully engaged in order to help protect the public — it's number one duty.
It is very telling that Reform UK are spending very little time on the Starmer issue. They sent Lee Anderson out to raise this issue, for goodness’ sake. LEE ANDERSON.
Farage is hyper focused on the local elections, safe in the knowledge that the media is obsessing over Keir Starmer, once again. He's making hay while the S*n shines on Labour.
Jeez! This went on a bit, sorry, but it feels critical to me. We are being led around by the nose by the legacy media outlets. They smell blood in the water, but I really don't think the story is there. Not yet.
And while the sharks circle, Reform UK are flying under the radar, ready to swoop on the local elections [sorry for the weird mixed metaphors — it's early!].
Have a lovely sunny day. 🌞
We are devastated to hear about the passing of the incredible Elsie Kelly, known to many as Noreen in #Benidorm. Her acting & comedy abilities were out of this world. May she Rest In Peace 💔
