This is not for โ€˜defenceโ€™ itโ€™s for โ€˜offensiveโ€™ action on foreign soil. Itโ€™s another British Expeditionary Force which will put us on the front line (donโ€™t see the Russians going for that one) whilst leaving Donny to plunder Ukraines natural resources.

Anyone paying attention during his time in Corbyn's shadow team and then when he ran for the leadership will know he's ability to lie and break promises are on a par with Johnsons. Sadly most people weren't paying attention so never was the saying 'you get the governments you deserve' more apt.

A few more thousand disabled people will doubtless have to be hounded into early graves to pay for Zelensky's 5,000 new missiles. Brainwashed gammons and middle class centrists will see this as a price worth paying.

Who ever said it was going to be a Labour light government. The dark irony is this Neo Liberal mob could be the worst of the worst, brace yourselfs and good luck.

He doesn't know what honesty is, or how it is done. If he had stopped the absurd and ignorant Reeves from making advance commitments without knowing where the finances were, then he might just have had some leeway. But he would probably like a war to make him look what he might think is good.

And I bet it won't affect Starmer's or Reeves' pockets, wherever that blood money comes from.
