The new government – good accomplishments and bad?

An effective way of closing down discussion then. The same didn't seem to apply when Trump was being criticised when in office.

When the President is someone who doesn’t actually believe in democracy criticism for that is perfectly justified.

I cannot recall Trump being criticised for doing his job. Only for abusing his position.

Giving more tax to governments is like giving whisky to an alcoholic.

Whole layers of so called 'government' should be abolished along with most quangos.

Government should be limited to the essentials, state spending and taxation should be massively cut.

This comment is so naive it beggars belief that anyone could actually write it.

It is the kind of thing an 11 year old might suggest

So you get to decide on whether a politician can be criticised based on your random criteria then want to deny others the same opportunity.

Not in any way. I just give an opinion. Others have their’s. Which they can, and do, freely state.

I am no more a decision maker than anyone else who isn’t part of our government.

It wasn’t literal. You only have look at the nhs for an example of too many layers. It’s probably the same in most if not all state departments. I don’t think your reply was very well thought out and dissing the poster is in itself; that of an 11 year old.
 
Pensioners at risk of hypothermia, political prisoners, restrictions on personal freedoms, propaganda from the national broadcaster, indoctrination in schools, tacit support of Hamas and Hezbollah, nationalisation of railways.

The march towards the Socialist Utopia is in full swing.
 
Although the actions of this government affect us all, I can't help but laugh at the gullible idiots who voted Labour, because they weren't the Tories.

I hope they enjoy the tax hikes, the reduction of freedoms and increase in crime caused by yet more organised migrant gangs.
I wonder how they will screw up the nationalisation of the railways?

Maybe next time, at least some of them will old enough not to be so gullible.

I expect that in five years the majority will be desperate to get rid of them.
I have already predicted that this will be the worst government ever, and that is saying something.
The cabinet looks like an episode of The Muppet Show.
 
Good point this from Sunak to be fair

“It was his decision and his decision alone, to award a train driver on £65,000 a pay rise of almost £10,000, and it was also his decision that a pensioner living on just £13,000 will have their winter fuel allowance remove

This has been pointed out to some in here many times. Unfortunately I think the “anyone but the Tories” is so engrained in some, it may never change. I always believed that this government would go after the demographics who they believed to be Tory/Brexit voters but didn’t for one minute it would be so quick.
Here’s hoping for a Trump victory just so Starmer and Lammy will have to suck up to him
 
I can't believe that Starmer allowing Jimmy Savile to abuse possibly hundreds of kids during his tenure as DPP has had such little coverage.

Alledgedly, 70 reports were put on his desk but he refused to look at them.

Why would you not ?

Also, while Starmer was working in law, he got the law changed so that illegal immigrants can claim benefits.
