It was the main headline on GMB at 6am..

What a waste of air space.. Rushi is grabbing at straws.. Even when he spoke of it he looked so bored.. The man doesn't have one funny bone in his body..

Blair also started the open borders mass migration gig which the current shower have expanded on enormously. Don't forget PFI either which to be fair was apparently a Tory idea originally which they took up with gusto.

TheTories have to go. No party can be rewarded for creating the total mess we are now in but Labour are likely to make things even worse.

Quote from: klondike on Today at 01:05:15 PMThis is also a reminder of the shameful dearth of talent in the Conservative party that they brought back that loser to fill one of the great offices of state. They really do deserve the drubbing that they must surely get.

Yes.  When he first appeared after being invited back, I thought exactly the same.  When he was PM he was absolutely useless, but worse than that was when the country voted to leave the EU, he was so upset that he immediately ran away and handed the reins over to May.

Who in their right mind would imagine that Cameron could be a real asset to the country and its government?

Coward Cameron, Treason May, Bumbling Boris, Two-minute Truss and now Mr Wishy-Washy.  Is there any surprise that throughout the past 14 years the country has become consistently worse off, not forgetting Bliar of course who put in place his wonderful ideas (eg, every school leaver to go to university!) which set the ball rolling?

I'm afraid that, with our continuing assistance of mass illegal immigration, I cannot see any real hope now.

I'm sure my 17 year old GD knows nothing about politics.  She leaves for college about 7.30 a.m. returning 12 hours later and works in a cafe at the weekend.  There's no time for the news etc.

Just spotted an enjoyable snippet in the jolly old Torygraph




Dave is the biggest loser thus far. Rishi only brought him back into government seven months ago; he's barely mastered the wine list in the Foreign Office restaurant. According to Fraser Nelson's gripping account of the election announcement – when Rishi stood in the rain and declared "avec moi, le deluge" – Dave described the decision to go over the top as "bold". That's Etonian for "dreadful idea. You've ruined my life."

This is also a reminder of the shameful dearth of talent in the Conservative party that they brought back that loser to fill one of the great offices of state. They really do deserve the drubbing that they must surely get.

Of course we'll all be getting one too when Starmer moves in to number 10.

Quote from: Vlad on Today at 11:47:42 AMa holding area for husbands

Ah that reminds me of happy days when our neighbours were a couple of the same age as us. We used one car for shopping for both couples. The ladies toured the local Sainsbury (iirc) while their husbands frequented the local hostelry nearby. 

Vlad,   do calm yourself m'dear.   It's not good for the old ticker.

You say  . . .    "Thank you GM even online deliveries have their problem, I once ended up with a delivery of 4 kg of salt, I only wanted a little refill...I am still using it..."

But the salt will be handy if we have snowstorms tomorrow,  or you could go on Slug patrol around your prize Dahlias, armed with a pot full of the stuff.

You could keep some to cure any hides you might have in the shed,   or I've heard in some religions they use it so sprinkle around to keep bad spirits away even. 

Personally,  I think the Dahlia idea might be more useful.
