    Britain can not afford yo be the worlds police service, improving the health service and pensions should be the governments priorities. Britain's excessive spending on the Ukraine is totally unjustifiable.

    If they’re having to pay higher prices then how come their profits are skyrocketing?

    High inflation in Europe reflects the economic price of Russia sanctions. As long as the energy prices remain high, Russia will continue to have sufficient resources for the war, while European economies will remain weak.

    maybe this , or at least part of this horrendous price increase , is as much to do with the WEF – " green lobby" trying to force regular folk into purchasing more electric cars , by making petrol so expensive , that we are " encouraged " to purchase " green machines" , just as the incentive programs finish , and coincidentally the price of electricity ( for charging the vehicles ) rises yet again .
    REMEMBER , YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING , AND BE HAPPY

    All the Ukraine war did was show the cracks that the Government keep filling with propaganda.

    Whilst China enjoys Discounted Russian Minerals and Fuels and Saudi Arabia is importing Russian Oil and Gas then exporting it's own at top dollar.

    Poor old Putin thought he'd be in Kiev by now.
    Now it's going to be a slog between him wanting to not lose face and Ukraine wanting their land back. Don't worry, profits are up in the fuel industry for their friends in parliament etc.

    Criminal incompetence in handling the covid pandemic and support for America's immoral proxy war in Ukraine will lead to Britain's ultimate destruction.
    Brexit? Forget it.

    Diesel is 20p more per litre than petrol, yet takes less refining. Everything is crooked.

    The British were never asked if we wanted to support this conflict. NATO have been poking the bear for a long time in Ukraine. Frankly, I'm surprised Russia didn't respond a long time ago. We're not necessarily the good guys here.

    I'm more bothered that Shell has made 22 BILLION profit, its highest in history, and no governments' have held them accountable as EVERYONE suffers. It's tyranny.
    Why is it being allowed to happen….oh, i know: it's cos our politicians have stocks in Shell and are paid puppets and have no real power, as we are ruled by big business these days.

NEW: Andy Burnham takes swipe at Brexit and Thatcher as he sets out vision for Britain

Published

on

By



Andy Burnham takes aim at Brexit, Thatcherism and Britain’s economic record as he sets out his vision for the country in his first speech as Prime Minister. Burnham pays tribute to Keir Starmer and outlines his plans to deliver economic growth, promising “fiscal responsibility” while arguing that Britain has taken “a series of wrong turns” since the 1980s. He says Brexit “compounded the damage” and pledges to build a pro-business, innovation-led economy across the UK.

Burnham also addresses some of the major issues facing Britain, including the small boats crisis, prison early release and the privatisation of water companies and utilities. Drawing on his experience as Mayor of Manchester, the Prime Minister explains how his time in local government has shaped his approach to leading the country. He concludes by promising that Britain can “believe again” and “bring back hope” as he sets out his ambitions for the future.

Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch wastes no time in challenging the new Prime Minister, mocking Burnham’s first day in office and warning that being Prime Minister is “a very different job” from being Mayor of Manchester. Badenoch grills him over defence spending, the small boats crisis, tax rises and his criticism of Thatcherism, accusing Burnham of wanting to take Britain “back to the 1970s”.
