Labour are heading for their worst end of the year in opinion polls since WWII. They started the year on 44% and have dropped to 26.6% after just 6 months in power. Their lead over the Tories has dropped from 19% to just 0.5%. I think Kemi will wipe the floor with Starmer next time - she is very good imo.
No way this bunch of fraudsters and liars are getting in for a second term, but what damage will they do to the country before the next GE?
Sadiq Khan is now Sir Sadiq, despite massive rises in knife crime, council tax, and a housing crisis, all on his watch. A gift from one ex human rights lawyer to another.
Meanwhile, Labour are about to 'diversify' the national curriculum. I dread to think what kids will be taught in the coming years.

The best case scenario is that Labour Party will be so alarmed at their drastic drop in popularity, they will get rid of him and appoint a new PM.
God knows who though.

A HMRC worker who branded her female boss 'sexist' when she said in a meeting that she wanted a granddaughter so she could buy 'pink dresses' has lost a discrimination claim, an employment tribunal heard.
Rachel Gladstone demanded that team leader Sandra Edwards apologise, asking that she 'keep the overt spoilt pink baby girl princess sexism for your private and family life'.
Ms Gladstone added that it was a 'triggering' subject for her as she had spent time while raising her own daughter to counteract the 'pink is for girls' culture, which she described as 'mildly damaging when taken to extremes'.
The comments - made in a series of emails - led bosses to launch disciplinary proceedings against admin worker Ms Gladstone, then 52, over her behaviour at work for which she received a written warning.
This prompted her to resign and to sue HMRC for unfair constructive dismissal and disability discrimination.
However, her claims were all dismissed by the tribunal which concluded that she had been treated fairly.

Stupid cow. Who the fuck do these people think they are. If she's 'triggered' by the thought of little girls in pink dresses, she's not fit to work for HMCR.

You can pretty much guarantee that anyone belonging to a minority group - be it race, religion, sexuality, disability etc, and they encounter some misfotune in life, that they will use that minority status in order to enhance their victimhood, when more often than not it is completely irrelvant to the situation. Most normal people refer to this as playing the * card, Meghan Markle being a prime example of a card player.
This woman appears to be playing the disability card in that she is claiming 'disability discrimantion' when the situation with her boss about the girly pink dress doesn't seem to have anything at all with her being disabled.

I dunno but shes claiming 'disability discrimination' for something that seems unrelated.

She seems to have a psychotic reaction to the colour pink, maybe that's classed as a disability in this modern, treading on eggshells world.
Or back in the real world, she just seems like an insufferable, entitled idiot.

You can't tell these days if someone has a proper disability like being blind or in a wheelchair or has one of the pretendy ones like self-diagnosed ADHD or is 'anxious'. They all come under the same umbrella term of being 'disabled' though
Then as soon as you're in a spot of bother, even if it's of your own doing, you can claim you are being picked on because you are disabled. It's a 'get out of jail free' card - all the minorities use them.
It's how the country works now.

She's just one of many sheep-like morons who buy into woke fuckwittery. 40 years ago she'd have been disciplined, laughed at and told to fuck off. Now, every single 'trigger' gets kowtowed to and indulged and she's the product of it.

The Asian rape gangs are back in the news after 'Safeguarding Minister' Jess Phillips rejected a request from Oldham Council for a national inquiry into the scandal.
Starmer was the DPP at the time, and has already had to previously admit that the CPS let the girls down - no wonder he's not too keen on a new inquiry:
"How Starmer was forced to admit CPS let down child victims of grooming gangs"
Starmer is now accusing those who want a national inquiry of 'jumping on a far right bandwagon' and 'spreading lies and misinformation'.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp called the prime minister's comments "disgraceful' and Elon musk has called him 'utterly despicable'.
I don't know if Starmer is just a bit thick or he is attempting to slur anyone with concerns about immigration and rape gangs as being of the far right, when it is in the main, just the average man and woman in the street who has these concerns.

Starmer is now cracking on he did more to prosecute the Pakistani rape gangs than anyone else has...he must think the British public are morons.
He is saying one thing, but he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights as he is saying it.
