Keir Starmer: "We don't have £4.5 billion for defence."
Keir Starmer the next day: "I’m announcing £4.5 billion for more cycle lanes and zebra crossings."
He’s just reached the point where he’s just laughing at us all now.
You really couldn't make it up.
@BBCNews why ‘report’ or push your panorama program on sexual explicit reporting when there is so much more real news around. What David Sullivan did was wrong but do you need our children to hear all of this at 6PM?
@RachelReevesMP Absolutely rubbish! You’re not listening! The electors (us who pay your wages) have told you we don’t like what you are doing and the current PM. We are fed up of lies, broken promises and incompetence
Finally! A logic that that might hold water.
Except I have total confidence that the writers of Yes Minister were far more political adept than Starmer & Co could ever be.
You go to work for 40 years (I'm currently at 42).
You’re forced into auto‑enrolment. You play by the rules, you save into a pension on the promise it’s yours.
Then Labour strolls in, waves through a law that lets ministers tell your scheme where to gamble those savings – not for your benefit, but to prop up their economic “strategy” and vanity infrastructure schemes that the market won’t fund.
This isn’t prudence. It isn’t “modernisation”. It is a straightforward transfer of control from the saver to the state.
Hands off our pensions. Share this before they pretend nobody noticed.
@RachelReevesMP Just trying to hang all your atrocious decisions and money grabbing on others. Stand up and be honest for once and stop the exodus of our industry and brains by changing you policies. We need competent and honest leaders who will stand up and be counted (and lead)!
