I think it's funny that the party that is based these days on appealing to white English nationalists can't seem to find a white English leader.

I believed Starmer and Reeves were too smart to repeat austerity. It appears I was wrong | David Blanchflower

New governments usually come into power offering hope and a break with the past. This one is squandering the opportunity for a fresh start, says David Blanchflower
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

New governments usually come into office with an agenda to try to move on from the sorry past – but not this time. Last week Keir Starmer told the country that things were “worse than we ever imagined” and that the public should prepare for “short-term pain for long-term good”. In other words, the government is preparing us for unnecessary cuts.

Now she's talking about a ÂŁ100bn black hole :francis:

Rachel Reeves tells cabinet UK still faces ÂŁ100bn black hole over next five years

Chancellor’s words will be interpreted as signal she will not give in to ministers over cuts she imposes in budget
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
Rachel Reeves has told the cabinet that the UK still faces a ÂŁ100bn black hole in the public finances over the next five years amid concerns that ministers are yet to grasp the full scale of the fiscal deficit ahead.

...

At the same time, Reeves is expected to reaffirm Labour’s fiscal rule that there will be no borrowing for day-to-day spending, rebranding it their “golden rule”, to shore up confidence in the markets.

So... they're going to borrow to invest in (new) infrastructure, but make cuts to reduce the deficit for current spending? :patrice:

The Headwinds were strong against the Tories, Labour could feel an easy election victory in which it was overwhelming... they had all that time to prepare, and they are looking at useless as the Tories. I really hope there is a 3rd Party option, because the youth just like in America, they are restless right now for change.

What do the UK brehs think about the Chris Kaba story? I always thought it was weird they said the Audi he was in was involved in a shooting but wouldn't say why he was driving it. Now it's coming out he's a gang member and shot someone in the leg and chased them in the street
