More of the same. I think people have been calling Labour 'Tory Light' for a while now: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13644161/Keir-Starmer-boasts-Labours-new-era-taking-control-rail-energy-planning-firms-voice-alarm-French-style-workers-rights-bolstered-unions-MPs-revolt-Kings-Speech-failure-scrap-two-child-benefit-cap.html

Agreed.

I still have concerns as to how things are going to be funded though. I don't think things add up!

The Chancellor's hacking away at bits of spending: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx02zdd92zdo

B*tch! She's just cost me, and I doubt it'll be the last time I get hit!

Yet those that have never contributed, are still being looked after!

Don't blame Labour - it's all the last government's faust!

To be fair, Lex, this mess can be traced way back further than the last Tory government. The real issue is that we have incompetent politicians only looking out for themselves

It's pathetic, Lex. All the muppet has done is add fuel to the two tier policing argument.

If only the the riot police were allowed to do their jobs.....

I wonder if the new policy will apply to left-wing mobs - oops, sorry, legitimate protestors - as well?

I think we know the answer to that one, Lex.

I am now officially labelled by the state as being far right, yet a few years ago, a girlfriend's father described me as being redder than a baboon's ar$e!

I don't think Starmer has the right qualities to handle what is happening.

It does seem as though real knuckle dragging yobs have joined the protests, looting shops and setting fire to properties letting the cause totally fail.

The 'useful idiots' certainly have upset the apple cart, Margaret.

There is absolutely no excuse for looting. I don't condone the violence, though I can understand it. But the poor old front-line police are getting it from all sides.

I see that idiot head of the Met police, Rowley, has apologised today for his disgraceful behaviour yesterday. I must say, his actions really instilled confidence in his abilities. (Sarcasm)

It's understandable the Chief of the Met police lost his rag, as he must be under extreme pressure from block head Starmer. Even professionals can lose their cool, I have witnessed in my time in the workplace.
I don't the think the Army will be called in as they are all in the Ukraine!

Now Elon Musk received criticism from block head Starmer, because he said Civil war is inevitable.

It is very sad to watch our once great country, or a least civil and peaceful, and tolerable country go to wreck and ruin . The pathetic long wet leek Jacob Rees-Mog has now woken up saying that we need to put a stop immigration. Well they were coming in by the boat load thick and fast when is pal Boris Johnson was in power and did absolutely nothing as though he was oblivious of what was happening to the country.

I think the problem has been obvious for a long time, Margaret. Politicians have let us down and have failed in their first duty which is to protect the country.

We've let in people who are not only here to claim our very generous benefits, but who actively despise us and our way of life.

I'm afraid there's a very large elephant in the room, and Starmer is refusing to see it!

I'm starting to suspect that Labour doesn't a coherant plan, and are just reacting to circumstances: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13764547/Rachel-Reeves-mulls-tax-hikes-spending-squeeze-raising-rents-social-housing-Chancellor-sees-Government-borrow-3bn-forecast-month.html
