No money left after the Tories fed it into their offshore accounts. Yes, Lady Mone. You!

If they're serious about tackling the rampant fraud that occurred during covid we could hopefully recover some serious cash? Lot of ifs and maybes of course.

With every week that passes I just feel like more and more of a cunt for giving these my support, my effort and my vote.

I don't think you had much choice, but he's been as disappointing as I suspected he would be

Heaven help us if the rich have to pay a little more. When they need money why do they always come for those who have the least. Keep punching down eh, wanker

Given it’s the rich who have most to lose it should be an easy sell to increase taxes at the top end.

I mean it's *something* I suppose, but last time I checked 13 year olds are lot more fucking expensive than 4 year olds.

Odds for a Love Actually style statement by Starmer today telling Trump to do one today due to his support for Russia, illiterate economics and being an apologist for alleged rapists/people traffickers?

1000-1

Should be odds on.

I dunno man, there's absolutely nothing to gain from just poking him and calling him a cunt, he has the power to hurt us at stroke of a pen, and he's a petty and vengeful man. Managing the relationship isn't going to be easy, even the mildest contradiction gets talked about as if it's an act of war

Yeah, just wrote a briefer version on the Trump thread. The power dynamic is heavily in his favour. Getting him to like you and trying to influence from there is in our best interests given the way we've isolated ourselves from Europe.

Yep Macron showed the way to deal with him earlier this week.

 

[Sniffer]

Agree with all that has been said above. It’s a sad state of affairs that we have to humour the complete and utter arsehole though.

 

[Walshes Wolves]

Yep Macron showed the way to deal with him earlier this week.

Not really true. He showed how to get his picture taken again, when things are difficult at home, but with Trump there is only one truth that matters and that is his truth.
It appears from Trump's latest statement about the EU, that Macron probably made things worse.
Starmer is not so arrogant as Macron and hopefully will get better results. The problem of course, is that Trump knows what Starmer really feels about him.
