Gonna call this now.
I'm often wrong so feel free to chuck it back in my face later.
If Burnham ousts Starmer, He's going to throw some meat out to try improve the optics of the labour party.
When the polls go up a bit he'll call a GE as the right haven't got their shit together.
It'd be a gamble, but it possibly extends the time labour have power.
Time they desperately need to finalise their plans, to really lock in much of Blair's work and make it nearly impossible to reverse
One of these ways will be proportional representation making it practically impossible for the the right to gain a majority again.
This might be implemented prior to him calling the GE
"Policing isn't about tackling crime, it's about empathy."
PC Lydia Ward - punched by Mohammed Amaaz at Manchester Airport, leaving her male colleague to single-handedly take over - says women belong in the police and are often "better" than men.
Poor woman is deluded.
This is as dumb as claiming 60% of poor blacks in England go to Uni but only 10% of poor whites do cos they are “clever.” Europe is an apartheid state who throw money, chance, and endless preferential treatment at blacks. In healthcare, in housing, education, and even sports! 🤯
All people between 60 and 100, if they can leave England, should leave England now. Before it’s too late.
England was defeated in 1945. The communists are preparing the final stages of the genocide.
Dont let go of the family at the center of yesterday's Supreme Court property tax ruling.
In 1991, Scott Pung bought a small three-bedroom home on half an acre for his wife and two children. It was their family home. When Scott died in 2004, his wife stayed there. When she died in 2008, their son and his family stayed. Same home, same family, more than two decades.
The whole time, it was their primary residence, taxed at the lower rate Michigan gives a family home. Then in 2010 an assessor decided, wrongly, that they should be taxed as if it were a second home. The family took it to court and won. The tribunal ruled they did not owe it.
The assessor's response, in her own words about the judge who ruled for the family: "I don't care what he says." She imposed the tax again. She left it off the original bill and added it later. When the family came in to pay, they brought a driver's license to prove it was their home, and paid what they actually owed.
It did not matter. Over roughly $2,242 that they did not owe and had already beaten in court, the county foreclosed. A trial court tried to give the home back over a notice failure. The county appealed to stop that. In 2018, after 27 years, the family permanently lost the home Scott Pung bought in 1991.
This is what the property tax can do. Not in theory. To a real family, over a bill that was never owed, because one official decided she did not care what the court said. And the Supreme Court said the Constitution will not make that family whole.
I reached out to the Pung family, and they gave me their blessing to share their story and this photo. My thanks to them, and my respect for the fight they carried all the way to the highest court in the land. It will help families they will never meet.
This is exactly why we are working to end the tax that made it possible.

A study done on 361,645 job applications in almost 30 countries over the last 40 years discovered the hiring bias in society is actually against MEN, not women.
@JaniceW78256134@PositivFuturist Really not sure about that in fairness
I don't trust them or Reform to not rug pull it in gold old Tory fashion
Words apparently have different meanings to different people in the party.
I'll see how things look at the next GE
@Choad_Respecter@PositivFuturist I'm still hesitant.
I'm not saying never, I look to the young ones and see positivity.
Its a long hill to climb yet though. I'll see what comes put between now and the GE with regards to my doubts on definitions
@HC_AlwaysRight I'll be happy if they end up forcing a coalition with Reform in fairness
They've dragged Reform to the right again, being in a coalition will make sure they don't follow through with the Tory-esque rug pull that's inevitable with that many Tories in the party
@StillBuilt88 It wasn't global neo liberal policies that killed our car industry.
Sure, that ended it but it was only the final blow.
The trade unions killed off most of our industry.
Go look up what it was like in the 70s under those commie bastards
They held more power than the government
My issue lies in the definitions.
You see, Rupert is a boomer.
Every boomer I've ever met thinks someone working minimum wage is a contributor, because they work.
But that's not true; anyone earning less than about 40K, infact is a net drain to the system
In actuality, a migrant working minimum wage is taking a starting job or college/uni job from a native
So which is it?
Boomer take or factual contributor?
This needs defining and cleared up
Its not the only area I have issues with their definitions
This was done 1 year before they introduced diversity barriers.
They realised the potential for the rapey, stabby exploding types to want to get rid of them.
