    Binbags is going to get fifty grand a year anyway, the UK public have already stumped up for that little pot of gold, from never actually having a real job.

    He’ll now go on to increase his millionaire status with even more dosh – again on our tab, if he gets made PM.

    His reward for failure has already been factored in, so expect a plethora of BS from now on.

    Sure beats creating jobs, making the UK more prosperous, making commercial decisions – he’s in the same queue as the feckless layabouts he loves – money for nothing.

    As you said earlier, Fed, ‘Hosanna to the next abject Marxist failure’.

        The bBC know what to do. Keep the peasants in ignorance by never informing the public of the difference between a defined benefit and defined contribution system. They have done it for years because they know how to protect the establishment (and all their employees also benefit from defined benefit schemes). I have just passed through retirement age and I reckon that inflation has adversely hit my pot by £60k in the last three years. I do not recall one word in the bBC about this ‘small’ sector of British Society so adversely affected. The bBC need to be switched to a subscription basis. Firstly they will not be able to afford a defined benefit scheme and secondly they can be funded by their small cabal of marxist supporters.

      In Hansard, Burnham was embellished with the title “Right Honourable” in the part of the record relating to his swearing in. Right Honourable is bestowed on members of the Privy Council. Thinking this applied only to special people I thought Hansard might have made a mistake, but no! Burnham is a Right Honourable Privy Councillor!

    Just wondering, but does the Conservative party have any other members in it, other than Kemi Badenoch?

    The only stuff we hear from them – especially as they slumped to an all-time low in Makerfield with a paltry 997 ticks, is a load more ‘rondels’ (Norwegian for b******s), and is portrayed around the rags and studios by her, and nobody else in the Tory lot is either recognisable, or even press-worthy…

    The puff about never wanting to talk with Reform is the same-old, same-old, and has got incredibly boring…

    I suspect the bBC have a hand in all this – they usually do.

        Yes I was interested to learn that, Uppers, but the general public is entitled to hear from more Conservatives, even though the bBC will knock them at every turn. They are the official opposition after all, and now they’re distancing themselves from Reform et al., the general ‘right’ parties are being subsumed by the bBC by the MSM’s crowing about Labour, despite its total failures to grasp government.

    Another significant event in Parliament today.
    Another new MP other than Andy Burnham was sworn in today. Lara Bird-Leakey the SNP MP elect was allowed to a some extras to the oath to our Monarch as follows:
    “I take this oath only so that I can serve the people of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry. My first allegiance is, and always will be, the sovereign people of Scotland.”

    followed by the correct oath:
    She then held up her right hand, and appeared to cross her fingers as she said: “I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to the law, so help me God.”

    I’m surprised that this is allowed. An MP’s first duty is to the Monarch, I don’t know how long this has been allowed to happen, it’s quite improper. Hoyle is turning a blind eye.

    Sinn Fein MP’s quite correctly refused to take up their seats as they were unwilling to take the oath. The SNP appear to get a free pass.

    I walked down into our village this morning.
    In order and not missing anyone out I walked past in sequence.
    1. An Indian couple presumably speaking Hindi.
    2. Three Muslims chatting in the shade, not in English.
    3.A white woman with her little girl, speaking an East European language.
    4. A single whitecwoman speaking on the phone in an East European language.

    I then walked into a Chemists. At the front of the queue, a BAME woman was talking to the lady behind the counter, neither speaking English. The other 4 customers were BAME.

    So in 20 minutes I encountered not a single English speaking resident.

    I don’t ever remember voting for this. Or wanting this.
    No politician in the Tories/Labour/ LibDems/Greens gives a toss. The BBC certainly does not.

    And they bleat about the ‘extremism’ of Reform. What a joke.

        That’s the way to equality.
        Print money.
        Cut interest rates.
        Result- massive, rampant inflation.
        But don’t stop it. Let it roll and protect public sector workers with inflation busting increases.

        Thus the value of private sector savings tanks because the same money buys less. And less. And eventually next to nothing. Those who have saved and are therefore ‘rich’ will be hardest hit. Just what the Marxists want.
        Ditto the value of private sector pensions. Allow unfettered immigration to stick it to the thrifty, the savers, and the private sector even more.

        And soon, everyone will be ‘equal’. Result!
        Equally poor, that is.
        But some will be more equal than others. Those running the state apparatus, driving around in their chauffeur-driven Zils.

    The BBC also seems reluctant to report about the police in Rotherham beating up teenage girls….white ones….if only they’d been black…it would be frontpage news guaranteed. Talk about two tier policing and media.

      Starmer repays more than £6,000 in gifts after donations row
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn7yeydd42jo
      The prime minister is covering the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets, four tickets to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a high-end designer favoured by his wife, Lady Starmer.

      It comes after Sir Keir and other cabinet ministers have faced weeks of criticism for accepting freebies from wealthy donors.

      ……………

      “Angela Rayner faced scrutiny for taking a personal holiday in a luxury $2.5 million Manhattan apartment owned by multimillionaire Labour peer Lord Alli. She defended the stay, stating it was a holiday with friends and she did not break parliamentary rules, although the situation sparked political controversy.”

      ………………………..

      “Andy Burnham’s comments on housing are facing renewed scrutiny after it was revealed he bought a London flat that he rents out, with help from the parliamentary expenses system.

      The Sun says the Greater Manchester Mayor bought the two-bedroom ex-council flat in Kennington in 2005 for £215,000 while serving as Labour MP for Leigh.

      At the time, MPs were allowed to claim mortgage interest payments on second homes through the parliamentary expenses system.

      Burnham decided to retain the flat after the 2009 MPs’ expenses scandal led to reforms banning mortgage interest claims on second homes.

      He then rented it out privately while claiming around £17,000 a year in parliamentary expenses to rent another London flat closer to Westminster.”

    Kissing the badge, or not, as the case may be

    Was it just yesterday, while the morning’s newsprint editorials were still caught in prime ministerial limbo – and we instead surveyed the newspaper cartoonists for their take on Starmer’s impeding demise?

    Oddly enough today it’s a corporate advertiser that’s first in with a pictorial gag in the cover page prime ad spot on the giveaway corporate adsheet Metro. “Quilter” Pensions Investments Advice… Their ad agency draws the Downing Street Number 10 black front door as a revolving door while their copy writer quips: ‘When you’re on your fifth PM in five years. Money needs a plan’

    Personally, I’m wary of this pervasive notion that all our problems emanate from the changes of face at the top. Deeper problematic issues are at stake. If they fail at the job then we ought to jolly well sack ’em.

    The freebie Metro catches the eye of the BBC’s print press pickers for their top spot in their online news page press review for the reason of the headline thereabouts – not the advertiser’s witty artwork (one has to assume): Keir’s tears.. Andy’s crown

    One has to flick through the BBC’s press pile almost to the ‘and finally’ (more of that soon) to discover the pun we’re all thinking: Two tear Keir (Daily Star)

    Such subversive punning is of course verboten for our BBC.

    The word play there referencing the regime policy of preferential treatment for migrant minorities over and above the historically native locals – as blatantly revealed in Starmer’s management of the post-Southport atrocity clampdown. That sad event in a nutshell was Two-Tier Keir’s premiership – after Southport he couldn’t any longer fool many of the people for much of the time.

    I believe it was veteran radio DJ Alan “Fluff” Freeman who deployed the catchphrase “Greetings, pop pickers” – you know of course popular as in populist politics is a semi curse word now. Anyway, our BBC’s very last pick of a national daily front page is the Express.

    It’s not so much that they are still banging on about Brexit. The Indy or the Observer can do that and still win a respectable mid-table position in the press pile with a Remainiac concept front cover. But when the Express goes with a white cliffs of Dover painted with the slogan: Express Crusade Give Us A Proper Brexit – it’s an ‘and finally’ wooden spoon award from the BBC.

    Reflecting Pool to be drained as Trump again blames ‘vandals’ for recent troubles
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yzpjd1njpo

    It’s clear now the pool is being sabotaged. But the BBC will absolutely not go near that being the case : you can tell when they are avoiding something because they use basic facts only then throw in a Trump quotation trying to make him sound like a bitter loser.

    When the truth is this:
    ‘David Hearn: The former U.S. Olympian is a registered Democrat who has actively contributed to the party. He has a documented history of making 10 financial donations through the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue and contributing to Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns 5 times.’
    No information released for the other 4 arrested – but you can sure they are all buddies with a similar agenda.

    That information is absolutely relevant to the story because it is much more than vandalism : it is politically motivated spite. Something the Left excel at.

    I usually check all my facts using AI now and again it misled me:
    After some discussion about the BBC’s rules for reporting quotations, I asked:

    ‘but they could have used trumps ‘radical left’ quote’
    AI replied:
    ‘The BBC did not hide Trump’s view of the incident. In their coverage, they reported:’
    ‘His public assertions that “Radical Left Lunatics” and political opponents were actively trying to sabotage his administration’s high-profile projects.’

    I replied:
    ‘I cannot find ‘radical left’ anywhere in the BBC article.’

    AI replied:
    ‘You are entirely correct to call this out. The phrase “Radical Left Lunatics” is not in the BBC article, and it was a mistake to claim they quoted that specific line.’

    Direct misinformation to a direct question!. These errors always seem to be in favour of the ‘establishment’.

    And it got worse !! – I asked:
    ‘why did you make that error ?

    ‘I made that error because I hallucinated and falsely assumed the BBC had printed Trump’s exact “Radical Left” quote since it was so prominent in the overall U.S. media coverage.’

    I speak of course about our closest neighbour France. Strangely the BBC have not mentioned that. But why would they……France is part of the” Holy Euro empire” and should not be ,indeed cannot be criticised.
    Certainly not on the airwaves of the trusted reliable “national treasure” poor bewildered Clive Myriopia won’t see anything amiss while he’s out and about searching endlessly for the truth ( Clive , if you fall over the truth during the search, just ignore it and carry on the search)…the BBC advert featuring dear Clive always brings a laugh.

    ….

    MPs and parliamentary staff can purchase breakfast on the parliamentary estate, with prices roughly benchmarked against central London. While the food itself is not free, taxpayer money is required to cover the overall catering operation’s net losses, which cost taxpayers millions of pounds annually across the Houses of Parliament.

    Plastic surgeons are reporting a rise in patients seeking treatments for “Ozempic earlobes” (or “Ozempic ears”), a cosmetic side effect linked to rapid fat loss from GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

    This refers to earlobes that appear thinner, longer, flatter, deflated, or saggier after significant weight loss. The drugs cause widespread fat reduction, including in small fat pads in the earlobes

      Big Ben did not ring out to mark the UK’s initial exit from the European Union on January 31, 2020.

    I would just like to say how much I am enjoying watching the Left (including the BBC) calling Burnham ‘King of the North’.

    Because it’s not 5 minutes since they were all suddenly and simultaneously offended enough to go out and protest ‘No Kings’ at Trump and the concept of a ‘King’ is utterly against the Leftist socialist ideology.

    So they might as well tell us ‘We are all worthless hypocrites who will say whatever it suits us to say at the time.’ and be honest about it.
