If you took over a job role from someone who was sacked for making an absolute shit show of their job you’d not be expected to clear all the back log and correct all the mistakes in 4 weeks.

I mean, words fail me....
His words not mine, he's gone from being the Knuckle Dragger's Grand Quaso, to some kind of truth seeking journalist.

Have you by chance watched his 'banned' video on you tube, just how it can be banned when its freely available on the internet :shrug:

Sticking to that splendid analogy, I’d guess you’d at least be expected to stick to the statements you quoted in your interview for the post.

I’m just glad we’ve got competent people in charge now rather than the clowns from the last five years or so in particular.
As an aside comparing that right wing **** with Martin Luther King in any way is a bit of a stretch imo
I was being sarcastic, but indeed the deluded Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is putting himself up as some kind of seeker of truth and justice along the lines of many great people in history.

Labour said repeatedly during the election campaign there would be no tax rises on "working people", so working people don't pay IHT or CGT ?
That's like them saying they wouldn't raise taxes on working people and then you kicking off because they've raised tobacco duty because "some working people like to smoke".

We all know what taxes are being referred to when they are for 'working people'.

Unless you are trying to find fault where there literally isn't one because it fits an agenda, of course.

Not if you weren’t in possession of all the facts. Like a £20bn deficit.

Reeves and Starmer just lie and they had branded themselves to the gullible electorate as a saintly pair, this is just the start of their lies. As in most employed job it's a shame the country can't give them notice now, rather than 5 years time.

Then the successful applicant would be called out for lying, as they had the facts when they promised the earth.

Do you think you could concentrate for 90 seconds ? The £6B unbudgeted for asylum seekers, the unfunded road projects ?



Or maybe you could concentrate for 45 seconds and then get your mate to do the other 45 :laugh:

Maybe. But none of this seemed to matter when people like you voted for Boris Johnson despite offering absolutely no solutions, a paper thin manifesto and a 3 word slogan that to this day remains unimplemented properly.

So really, how about you judge both main parties using the same standards? And if you're not prepared to do that, kindly pipe down with the faux political morals.

Never voted Tory, and as for 3 word campaigns such as 'Edukashun, edukashun, edukashun' they hold no water with me.
Looks like Labour are heading down the slippery track of U-turns and manifesto fibs.

Of course you haven't.

I am a little old fashioned in this respect.

When I voted (don't anymore, live in a very blue constituency), I voted for the Party, not any individual.

So when you went out to vote and then posted this on election day at the 2019 election

Just been to plant my 'X', reassuring that the rain doesn't seem to have deterred the wrinklies at my local.

You'd obviously voted for Corbyn and then proceeded to defend the Johnson cabal at every opportunity since :laugh:

Such a condescending reply, typical of your contributions. The 2nd 45 seconds then contained the £9b of public sector pay rises that you forgot to mention above and then the final point around autumn budget tax rises to pay for public sector.

People like you ?, kindly pipe down? that's got a whiff of pomposity about it.

We all know politicians left right and centre will lie, manipulate and blame others, always have always will no matter who is in power. You hold POTG to account for judging both parties to the same standard, fair enough, will you do the same to the other usual suspects who as Bozza said will give Reeves a pass when they would have gladly hung the tories out to dry for the same thing?
