After a brief pause and a laugh from the audience, Sir Keir stressed a history of public service, particularly as director of public prosecutions, and said he was not “tribally political”.

My beloved apolitical Prime Minister. The poll should’ve had a “neither” option.

Brits fucking suck

I mean…

At a dinner meeting of the Big Three on Nov. 29, Stalin proposed executing 50,000 to 100,000 German officers so that Germany could not plan another war. Roosevelt, believing Stalin was not serious, quipped that “maybe 49,000 would be enough.”

Churchill, however, was outraged and denounced “the cold-blooded execution of soldiers who fought for their country.” Before storming out of the room, he said that only war criminals should be put on trial. Stalin brought him back after saying that he was only joking.

Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.

Maybe one of your laptops isn’t supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.

that doesn’t change the reality that labour isnt going to do shit.

Wow good job at doing nothing, Sunak.

Of course, Labour is doing neoliberal inflation targeting nonsense

“The Labour MP tells the BBC’s Today programme that he welcomes the news that inflation is “coming down” but stresses that the Bank’s target rate of 2% is where the country should be.”

The “target rate” is achieved by creating unemployment.

Cucked fucking country. All the executives deserve firing squad.

copium fake

Austerity, border guards & increased policing, yes. Everything else, no.

Sticking to tough spending rules in order to deliver economic stability

Code for austerity, some arbitrary cap on fiscal deficit.

Setting up Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean power energy company

How could that be done if spending rules are ‘tough’? By raising taxes on the rich? I highly doubt that even with the higher taxes, the Government would be able to raise enough revenues to ‘fund’ a green transition.

Cutting NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week - funded by tackling tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes.

NHS would require a shit ton more spending than whatever could be raised by tackling tax avoidance. Decades of austerity has to be compensated for.

Launching a border security command to stop the gangs arranging small boat crossings

Hitler particles detected. How will the security command be paid for? NHS has to be funded by ‘tackling tax avoidance’ but funds for border security never need to be ‘raised’.

Providing more neighbourhood police officers to reduce antisocial behaviour and introduced new penalties for offenders

What is antisocial behaviour? Loitering? Also how are revenues for police officers raised? Every bit of welfare has to be ‘paid for’ by raising taxes or whatever but there is no mention of how police officer salaries would be paid for.

Recruiting 6,500 teachers, paid for through ending tax breaks for private schools.

Its fascinating how he can’t just say ‘Recruiting 6,500 teachers’, he has to ‘pay for it’ with something else. Why do private schools exist in the first place?

This is so bad, Starmer is really showing that he is not different from the Tories.

UK sounds desperate for any revenue to show a lower deficit %. It can’t increase revenues by raising taxes on the rich so it does silly shit like this.

the government is out of money ok /s

good thing there are great custom roms for it

Have Neoliberals done anything that isn’t a huge disappointment?

Yes. Military is a parasitic sector where most of the money ends up in the hands of defence contractors in the US. Nothing productive going on there.

Also my point was not just against miliary spending but that military spending is always spared from austerity. See Milei government buying American fighter jets while claiming to “have no money”. Or “bankrupt” Greece getting weapons from Germany while cutting welfare costing a fraction of that.

Weird how military spending is perfectly fine and protected from any cuts by the deficit hawks.

BBC is peddling neoliberal junk economics.

Mid battery

Hope he dies and she endorses Biden. Best ending.
