John Healey (Defence Secretary) resigns.

[Lower]

He’s a Bluarite through and through, as is Burnam. The timing and content of his resignation is an attempt to hole the PM below the water line so there is a smooth transition of power if Andy wins. People underestimate Kieth’s toughness and he still has the fight in him. Healys payback will probably be the House of Lords.

More likely that the timing is based on the fact that he saw the defence investment plan on monday evening and isn't prepared to try and implement a desperately underfunded plan. He's actually put the country and his integrity before his own career.

The labour party is happy to spend our money on ever increasing benefit bills, but not on actually defending us. Pathetic.

Blup is a bog-standard commie like most of em on here, the only distinguishing feature is his deliberate mis-spellings.

I suppose it prevents searching out previous conflicting posts……

 

[Murdochcat]

Starmer is not interested in defending the UK. Labour don’t want to defend the UK. They are completely useless. They are unelectable. They’ve taken an improving economy and destroyed it

 

[blup]

I've noticed before that you have really interesting political instincts! Have you ever been involved in politics in some way?

We’re all involved in politics like it or not. I remember an Iraqqi fellow who had been forced out of Bagdad in the 60’s telling me, if you’re not interested in politics you’re only half alive.

Did he bolleaux, he is a time served professional politician who has six different answers at the ready all of the time. He. could easily have resigned after the review and the by election but Burnam needed a plausible alternative reason for Starmer going.

I must admit. The whole NHS thing needs a rethink.

I mentioned this on another thread few days ago when somebody said we need an EU army.

The EU members will never agree. Any war would be over before they had sign off from all 27.

But you often have an interesting take when it comes to centre left things. It's not tribal. Sometimes it almost feels like you have inside info.

He's stabbed Starmer in the back, hoping to get a better job if Burnham sallies forth to rescue them.

The NHS will collapse.

You're right, it will. That's why we need to reduce the population.

 

[blup]

The Amerrrican private health care system costs more than the nhs

The EU members will never agree. Any war would be over before they had sign off from all 27.

We definitely need an EU army of some description to match the other superpowers.

You’re confusing me with a Hull man

Current right wing thinking is to grow the population
