No taxes on working people, just

[denso13]

Will you hold them to account if it does?

Not sure, it depends, let's see. I don't think people should never be critical of anyone, just in case it comes back to bite them years down the line.

Don't you think this may have an impact on tariff negotiations perhaps?

Apparently not....

'Renegade' UK could be spared from Donald Trump's tariffs, US governor says

There are fears in foreign capitals about what could happen if the Republican increases taxes on imports of foreign goods when he returns to the White House.

Umm Denso was it you who said you would hold the new Labour administration to account if they failed to deliver their promises?

Of course, it may have been another acolyte.

Amongst others, yes.

 

[Andydevon]

I don't want to seem argumentative*, but the first 3 months have not been a stellar performance. So when can we expect any consideration of the delivery?

* Means a little disingenuous

I don't think it has been too bad. I don't have any timescales in mind but still far too soon.

They've certainly hit the ground running. Backwards.

 

[Andydevon]

Denso I think we may have very different views on the Government delivery. Not a problem for me as we are not Stepford children.

But I would like to explore a bit more about what you think has not been too bad. Admittedly the Torys were a shower of ****.

You need to get a job: too much time on your hands - on here, carping - now

They are carrying out their manifesto pledges. Let's see how it goes with the boat people numbers, but that is a long term issue going forward.

 

[Andydevon]

I need to go and make ready a feature wall for my better half to wallpaper and clean the cooker / kitchen ready for a nice bit of roast lamb.

So excuse me if I don't ask more.

Denso heads up its rather more than a few boat people.

Manifesto pledges - tax on working people just to start.

Yes, it's thousands.

I see it differently, but that happens.

Great - maybe then "wrong think" wont get reported by the RRL on here and the post moved and the poster banned from the thread.

More a case of "didn't think", than of "wrong think"

An article by a former diplomat who was convinced the president elect would impose immediate tariffs and then sit back and see what the response is. It seemed a realistic scenario especially given he has been planning how to hit the ground running given his previous experiences and desire to act quickly. We shall see.
