General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

Well James Bond is a close friend of Hannibal Lecter, presumably he put Trump and Bond into contact with each other.

Trump and Starmer confirm ‘breakthrough’ US-UK trade deal

Announcement makes UK the first country to agree deal with US since Trump imposed sweeping tariffs in April
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Starmer said there would be no watering down of food standards with this measure, with imports of hormone-treated beef or chlorinated chicken remaining illegal.

US agreement leaves UK open to do a much more significant EU deal

Economically this US deal is relatively small, although important to very specific sectors.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

The real win here could be that this agreement on tariffs will keep the US sweet whilst leaving the door open to a substantive deal with the European Union.

By maintaining UK food standards and not, for example, accepting hormone treated beef or chlorinated chicken, a "full fat" food and farm export deal with the EU, similar to Switzerland's, is now clearly on the cards in the next fortnight. This could slash post Brexit red tape for key exporters both ways.

Then you have an overall picture of a growing economy, with good trade relations with the US, EU, India and soon the Gulf too, with rates being cut.

The Government will try to project the UK as an oasis of trade and political stability in a tumultuous world, after years of turmoil. It is a world away from the recessionary negativity at the turn of the year, and it might just work.

It's already been said food standards haven't changed

Remember this isn't a new trade treaty it's just Trump easing some tariffs in exchange for what is effectively nothing.
Even the car quota allows the the same number of cars as go to the USA anyway

Well, as I say, it's not a trade treaty, it's just blowing smoke up Trumps arse.
What used to be called ' a bit of the old soft soap'
It seems Starmer and his team know how to make Trump work, they laid the groundwork a few months ago by getting the King to invite him to tea.

But don't expect the right wing media to give them one iota of credit.
 
Darren has proudly stated he will not be attending two council training sessions even though they don’t actually exist.

As I posted on election result day he said “I will not be attending DEI training or climate change training. I do not believe in anti-white racism or making my voters colder and poorer.”

North Durham MP Luke Akehurst posted

I took a look at the training programme for new Durham County Councillors. There aren’t training sessions on either of the subjects Darren is refusing to attend.

@JamesCleverly

🚨Labour government negotiations latest🚨
Is it just incompetence? Or is the Labour government trolling the whole country?
Higher tariffs from the USA than when the @Conservatives were in government, despite this “trade deal”
 
Clearly he has worked out that Starmer alone caused Trump to set massive trade tariffs on the whole world. Must have been something he said when they met. What other reason could there be?

In his next brilliant pronouncement, Cleverly will reveal that, under this Labour government, internet fraud is much higher than it ever was under the Thatcher government.

The thing is, the US already had that deal. Only 12 farms were willing to get the necessary certification done to avail of the deal. The only way the UK is importing $5bn of meat products if they allow below standards meat in.

...and that isn't going to happen so it's moot.
 
We have to boycott foreign owned businesses like Take Aways, Kebab Shops, Barbers, Curry Houses, Corner Shops, Taxis and Petrol Stations.

Put them all out of business and they will have to leave, that way we can have proper British shops again and get the foreigners out.

Councils controlled by Reform should be withdrawing planning permission and licenses for foreign owned businesses to force them out.

Or so I have been told
 
Reform DOGE saving money and getting things done it seems
Always a grift in it somewhere, the "JCB* Pothole Pro". is an expensive and complicated machine made by Nigel's mate tax dodging Lord Bamford

Whistleblowers are already coming forward to assist the Reform DOGE, before it’s even formally launched.

The reason why millions of taxpayers’ money is spent on potholes yet they’re never repaired properly is because Tier 1 contractors subcontract the jobs on a day rate, with no incentive for speed nor quality.

That’s why instead of using cutting edge tech like the JCB Pothole Pro, most councils are repairing potholes with pickaxes.

Pickaxes.

Iron age technology.

We can’t wait to share the full details of what we find.

Richard Tice on GB News saying the US-UK trade deal happened because Keir Starmer 'listened' to Nigel Farage and Nigel should get the praise for it.

"The irony of Starmer lording this trade deal when this was a man that wanted a second referendum!"
 
Reform pushing a poll today that says they lead
Reform UK: 33% to Labour 20% and Tories trailing on 16% if there was a General Election.

This means Starmer has to step down and call an election, he has lost his mandate to lead the country again!

Doesn't he know that Fromage and whine parties went out of fashion in the 70's?

The Pothole "Pro" is a product so good they're not even willing to put a price on their website. I wonder, is the engine made out of piseógs?
 
Fight back on the Woke!

@andreajenkyns
My first week as your Mayor. From speaking with the Treasury Secretary about investment in our county to speaking in a planning hearing against solar farms and attending the town board in Grimsby. Next week, I have lots planned, including working with our new Lincolnshire County Council leader to fight back on the woke!
