Interesting (?) Political stuff...

Starmer announces that the Civil Service needs to reduce costs by 15%.
To save £2b by the end of the decade.
Utterly useless!!
While the Tories are mainly to blame, the CS has grown by over 100,000 people in 8 years - why - no need - everything is worse and yet they employ more people?
Sack 50,000 now - they will all find work somewhere - and save £7.5b a year straightaway!
Welfare savings - £5b a year by the end of the decade - pointless - this country borrowed nearly £11b in February to pay the interest on our debts.
What good will these savings do really, because new jobs will continue to be advertised and taken - the savings will never happen in reality.
Labour are just not capable of reducing the public sector radically and making it more streamlined and efficient.
They have a chance but they are not taking it, instead they have turned growth into shrinkage and big debt into huge debt and a recession - a proper one - on the way - Rachel Reeves is out of her depth
 
Lower Thames Crossing approved.

""Tuesday's announcement was 16 years in the making, with the project first mooted in 2009 and more than £1.2bn in taxpayers' money spent on planning since.""

Nothing against the project or the government but just read the above. 16 years mucking about and 1.2bn spent on planning. Seriously if you wonder why we are so bad at infrastructure in this country this is your answer.

How do you spend 1.2bn on planning a road tunnel? Yup planning, not building or buying just planning.
 
Western democracy under the social liberals is under significant threat.

Our media are rightfully complaining loudly that Erdogan is jailing his main opponent and threatening protestors......However, they celebrate and/or are silent on clear hit jobs in their own backyard.

Even if you ignore the outrageous situations in our own country:

France, Marine Le Pen: they're attempting to throw her in prison & ban her from politics

Ireland, Conor McGregor: investigated for hate speech facing up to 7 years in prison

Germany, Afd: endless lawfare trying to ban the entire party in Germany

Hungary: EU trying to remove Hungary's voting rights for voting against the regime's wishes

Romania, Georgescu : election canceled and candidate arrested.

Not, Europe but in Brazil Bolsonaro: facing 20 years in prison for attempting "insurrection" by questioning election results.
