The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
badgerx16 replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Of course, Government debt NEVER increased during the many years of Tory Government. Similarly for the military, many years of Tory defence cuts led us to where we are today, and I'm not sure how you expected Starmer to reverse the trend whilst at the same time giving you the reduction in taxes you seem to demand. Militsry expenditure has been an easy target since John Nott in 1982. -
I see you didn't walk is through his actual points one by one. Give it a go...

Also - Tony Blair has destroyed our democracy. His constitutional vandalism took decision making away from Parliament and gave it to the courts, independent regulators, devolved administrations, etc. etc. The PM has too few levers to pull. So Starmer found what the Tories also found. Nothing can get done. -

The UK borrowed almost as much in May 2026 alone (£23.3bn), as it did during the entire 2018/19 fiscal year (£23.5bn). We are not so much sleepwalking as sprinting into a fiscal crisis, and yet people on here still claim he is doing well on the economy 🤣🤣 -

I never said he was doing a good job, in fact my assessment a couple of months ago was "disappointing". However, I do not think he has "proceeded to make everything way worse", that is demonstrably untrue. -

Then why is he resigning? If he’s doing such a fantastic job? Have you considered that it’s actually your perspective that is skewed -
Very true, 52% took the nuclear option that could never be reversed and imposed it on the 100%, many without even understanding what they were voting for - those responsible need to own that huge mistake, or at least learn from it. After deliberately damaging our own economy I suspect that history will view the 2016 UK as a bunch of total fuckwits.

You look at the World from a seriously skewed perspective. -

Couldn’t be more wrong on all points. Horrendous on the economy, traitor to the country, embarrassed us militarily, grooming gangs , dysfunctional military, raised taxes, raised energy prices, lied non-stop Walked into a shit show by the awful Tory party and proceeded to make everything way worse lol -
Really enjoyed the Cape Verde match. They play without any fear. Fun to watch.

Cracking response. I'll copy his comments... "economy slow but steady, workers rights intact, NHS waiting lists moving in the right direction, immigration down, deportations up, Iran well dealt with, and in contrast to the last 3 pms before him, he hasn't killed 200,000 people, beaten his wife, had any affairs, hasn't tanked the economy or made us a laughing stock, insulted any grieving mothers in pmqs, hasn't left d-day commemorations before every other world leader, and hasn't lost an election..." Point out where he's wrong...

Not just a program for Matty fans, but a great insight to football and the tactics.

Stats wise he has been decent, with the economy slow but steady, workers rights intact, NHS waiting lists moving in the right direction, immigration down, deportations up, Iran well dealt with, and in contrast to the last 3 pms before him, he hasn't killed 200,000 people, beaten his wife, had any affairs, hasn't tanked the economy or made us a laughing stock, insulted any grieving mothers in pmqs, hasn't left d-day commemorations before every other world leader, and hasn't lost an election. Hard to argue that he isn't the best pm we've had in a while, and he has mandate. The only thing he doesn't have is the media. -
Can’t believe people still believe in man made climate change 😂 Net zero = scam

Sadly, so did the rest of us.

A nod to the opening post on this thread. Who would have thought that Starmer (AKA, the new broom) would hold office for a significantly less time than Boris... 🤪 What a woeful PM Starmer has been. I can't see Burnham being much better (after the Burnham bounce), he will still have to cater for some right odd-balls (Milliband, for example). -

Players are very good at getting those kind of messages out there. "I didn't want to leave but the club got an offer they couldn't turn down" There's a long way between "don't want to leave" and "I am definitely signing a new contract at a Champ club when Prem offers are right there". Saying you don't want to leave also preserves loyalty bonuses and potentially other monetary benefits. So dont get excited by "it's not a rumour". That's not quite the same thing as the reality of situations.
