This Government

A shambles from the politicians, shows that there really isn't much difference between the 3 parties when it comes to money.

Well if we can’t bounce back after the worst slump for 300 yrs there really is something wrong , it would be impossible not to. I’m sure you wouldn’t be daft enough to come on here cheering when there’s an upturn , there can’t not be one can there ?
Yes I blame the government , Brexit is a Tory project .
Also you have to compare comparatively how we’ve faired up to other EU countries , I’ll give you a clue..... we’re not winning 🇬🇧

The whole nuclear bombs thingy is bloody mental ..... they Chuck one at us and it’s game over anyway . If we get enough warning we can lob one back and it’s game over for both sides . We’re never going to bomb first so we’ll only ever retaliate but it’ll already be too late . 
pretty sure I read somewhere that’s there’s enough nuclear bombs to blow up the world about 50 times over . 
It’s madness 

Cover the uk with a massive ( bomb proof ) retractable dome roof . It’s probably cheaper and we can stop the bloody rain as well. 

How/ why does it put labour in a bind?

I thought this was an interesting article on our relationship with the Indo-Pacific region. A few snippets:

"Either way, the British public are startlingly ill-prepared for what is to come. When the British Foreign Policy Group asked Brits whether they supported the UK’s greater involvement in the region, more than 50% said they did not know, or opposed the shift. This big idea is coming out of the blue."

"It said the region now accounts for close to half of global economic output and more than half the world’s population: it contains the world’s two most populous nations, China and India; the world’s second and third largest economies, China and Japan; the world’s largest democracy, India; and two of the world’s largest Muslim populations, in India and Indonesia. Its sea lanes are the “world’s most critical”, it said, including the Malacca Strait linking the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea."

" [Jo Johnson said] “So I am very pleased the prime minister is describing himself as a Sinophile because he is facing a Conservative party for which Sinophobia is the new Euroscepticism. It’s the new political machismo, but it would be economic madness to decouple from China and incredibly destructive of this idea of global Britain, because there are many countries […] across the global south who are increasingly interdependent with China. There won’t be a global Britain if we are not engaging with China, and all the other countries enmeshed with it.” "

"Liz Truss, is positively evangelical about a Pacific-based export-led recovery, however. She says it will give the UK access to a £9tn GDP and without any need to join a EU-style political club. Most of its existing members – accounting for a market of 500 million people and about 14% of the world economy – are enthusiastic, especially Japan, the UK’s lead ally in this enterprise and often described as the quiet leader of the Indo-Pacific. A preliminary decision is expected in May, with membership achieved early next year."

" “The tensions in the Conservative party about which dominates, whether it is the red wall MPs wanting heavy protectionism for communities that have been at the hard end of globalisation or our southern MPs who are all ready to support our free trading ambitions, is still is very real and yet to be resolved.” "

N.B. the original source of the article was The Guardian.

Sturgeon should go, but I would suspect there is enough wriggle room to stay. 'Not knowingly misled being a major one.

"Sky News understands that Holyrood's harassment committee has reached the conclusion by a majority vote ahead of the publication of its final report.

Members have decided that Ms Sturgeon misled the committee itself and, as such, misled parliament and potentially breached the ministerial code of conduct."

100% she should go. 

She won't though. And if she doesn't it just makes what the current government do even more acceptable. 

Which isn't healthy for anyone. 

Have we become immune to moral lapses?
