Funnt how £22bn seems to be labour's favourite number!

[Old_Geezer]

It's a good cause. The world needs such at present.

But raises doubt in the black hole finances claim.

[davebro3]

Unbelieveably idiotic, strewth!

[Sinead_O]

The black hole claim is nonsense.

        "Funnt how £22bn seems to be labours favourite number"   Perhaps 22 is their favourite number because that is the number of the years they are going to be in power this time.

[Sinead_O]

Be lucky to make it to 22 months at the rate they're going.  Bunch of useless amateurs.

Since Labour got into power, why do I have this image in my head of a bull in a china shop?

10C; and the Chacos Island fiasco has happened since you left !

The sincere centre left members of the party are being let down. I'm not of course one, but I genuinely feel sorry for them, and I feel certain there's worse to come.

Isabelle Hardman gave a very strange interview on GB News last night, she seemed to be treading on eggshells and being careful what she could say, but I think there's a s. storm brewing about Starmer.

Dale Vince on the radio this morning said Carbon Capture is a terrible idea. Considering he thinks it's a bad idea, given how green he is, perhaps it is.

 

They've missed a trick with Chacos. If Rwanda was considered unsafe, they could have used Chacos.

 

Heard a great quote from Andrew Neil earlier...

 

"Labour's mandate is as wide as an ocean, but as shallow as a village pond" How true.

 

This is a one-term Govt.

[Old_Geezer]

The island was strategically important especially regarding China. I see the islanders are complaining they weren't involved in the talks. Seems no one here was either. (Not even parliament ?)

[davebro3]

Best method of carbon capture is to plant trees & other vegetation. Difficult if you're covering the country with new housing estates.

From the article

Those projects will remove 3 million tons of CO2 per year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That would fall far short of a previous government target to capture and store between 20 million to 30 million tons of CO2 per year by the end of the decade. 

 

Don't we produce over 400 million tons?

What a *** waste of money

[Old_Geezer]

True. But the issue there is that when the plant dies much of the carbon gets released again as carbon dioxide. It's a temporary store only.

09:40 what's the weather like in La La Land today?

[youngmafbog]

And there is the gurning face of Milliband in the background, a dangerous man that will bankrupt the country all for his ideology.

[youngmafbog]

Bacon sarnie anyone?

[davebro3]

Ed's been given a job and he's damn well gonna do it at any cost. (however pointless it is)

[youngmafbog]

I am not bothered about how pointless it is (and all he is doing is pointless lets face it) but I am bothered about the consequences of his actions.

Bankrupting the country is an almost certainty unless someone kicks him into touch.

The 'man' is totally barmy and needs lockong up for his own good and ours.  He will see the poor in abject poverty before too long.

[curlyfries81]

Anyone else think Ed Milliband looks like a character from Fraggle Rock?

[youngmafbog]

^^^ 🤣

[Canary42]

Isn't bankrupting the country a Tory trait (c/f Liz Truss).
