Starmer "Again"

[Niigata Jack]

Laura Kuenssberg to question Keir Starmer on winter fuel payment cuts and NHS

In his first major TV interview since entering office, the prime minister tells the BBC his government is "going to have to be unpopular" in order to deliver change.

Its easy to make "tough" decisions when it doesn't affect you!, yet we are still giving Billions away in foreign aid, no cuts there are there! Spending ridiculous amounts on "Green energy" which is a massive con, the UK produces less than 1% of the worlds carbon emissions yet we again has to be seen as leading the World when we got no control over the Countries that produce the most, still spending fortunes on stopping illegal immigration, why doesn't he do what other countries would do and get the navy to turn these boats around and escort them back across the channel, Governments priorities are wrong and always have been, you don't just keep strangling the hard working Tax payer.
Starmer comes across as arrogant and pig headed.

Off you go Ladies

We have a seat at the top table on world matters, and so we should have. Much better to be on the inside than on the outside. With this seat comes an expectation that we do lead from the front and try to bring others along with us, take the matter of climate change as an example, foreign aid is another. I would much rather is tackle the wastefulness in home affairs and what many consider to be vanity projects.

Starmer is hell bent on funding ridiculous “climate change" ideologies... rather spend 40 billion across the globe on it than the 1.5 billion he is stealing from pensioners. Absolutely scandalous
Between India / China they got 750 operational blast furnaces and they are hell bent on closing 2 here to effect climate change at the same time 12000 people up the road in generations of future steel workers out of a job.
Go figure.

Tata are closing them not the government. Traditional blast furnaces are too expensive to run.

Yeah, I know they are closing them, but the pressure from government to reduce carbon emissions have given them another excuse to do so with the financial penalties they faced because of emissions, not this government I may add.

This country produces less than 1% carbon emissions and yet this tiny little country thinks its gonna make a difference and lets face it, its not gonna make a blind bit of difference.

There's no chance that China who produce 27% of emissions will alter what they are doing, neither will Russia or India.

We give away way to much money in foreign aid and who pays for it all and what return benefits do we get back, a smile a shake of the hand and a slap on the back, we need to reduce the 84 billion we give away, its pure waste with no reward, IMO.

Not sure where you got £84 billion from. It's a fraction of that and in absolute numbers is less than 1.0% of national income. I am certain that Starmer will make an appraisal of where this money goes.

As for Tata in Port Talbot, it is a highly unprofitable pimple on what is a profitable business overall. Nobody should be surprised that it's being transformed in the way that it is.

I don't disagree on Tata, but the truth is that Tata have let the place run down specific parts of the plant have neede major works for years, I was in there for 12yrs and the decay was very evident and by the time I left in 2016 it was far worse.

I saw that figure somewhere probably on one of the Whatsapp groups.

I suggest you stop believing everything someone says on WhatsApp.

I concur.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

I concur.

I just saw the £84bn figure. And people believe this nonsense? No wonder everyone is so angry all the time.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

The actual amount of “foreign aid” (an incorrect term in itself but one step at a time) spent outside of the U.K. was just over £4bn.

It’s not as if fact checking is difficult. GOV.UK has all of this captured and summarised.

I'm just repeating it, I didn't know if it was true or false and I can't confirm if I even saw it on any group, but seen it I did, whatever the figure its probably to much and more than what other countries give, plus the costs involved in all this illegal immigration where did the 700 million come from to pay for the ill-fated Rwanda shitstorm or more to the point who paid or will pay for it the hard working taxpayer "again"
