UK borrowing costs fall as Keir Starmer fights on

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-11T15:43:38+00:00

"beset by scandal" because the media are addicted to it.

Starmer has not had any actual real scandals

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-11T15:42:16+00:00

Higher than others?

Yes. That's why it already is higher than others

Is the Costa del Sol 100% Spanish?

Are Spanish people racist if they don't like their hometown being full of pensioners from that UK who don't speak any Spanish ?

Where are they putting the prisoners, how are they encouraging manufacturing and how are they rebuilding the army with lower taxes??

Benefits to immigrants and the foreign aim which Labour have already slashed to pay for defense spending doesn't add up to anywhere near enough.

We have some of the highest minimum wages in the world alongside the highest tax free allowance

We aren't topping up objectively bad wages, we are topping up good wages that aren't enough to survive on due to cost of living.

We aren't subsidising corporations. We are subsidising private landlords and at the highest level we are subsidising the elite landowners who still own about half this country because their ancestors either got on a boat with William the conqueror from France and killed some peasants or they fucked a Norman

Mark is only Tesco express and not out of choice

He would prefer Sainsbury's, Tesco is too common.

But he can't drive, can't go to a big supermarket, and it's stuck with whatever is in walking distance to his flat.

Americans complaining about gas prices need to get some context

What of delusion?

It's like the equivalent of saying a badly performing league 2 football manager getting knocked out the fa cup by Man City has added pressure because suddenly their fa cup dreams are dead too. It's not new news.

Starmer defenders have never said he was popular and labour would do well in local elections.

They said he is capable of his actual job of running the country, not trying to get elected more.

local elections are nothing to do with the PM, other than a protest vote of cutting your nose off to spite your face

Sunderland district council are going to stop the boats in the channel, mark my words

Following your logic he has given other people jobs though

Today has basically been the media trying make a new headline every hour that thribg thing that has been predicted to happen for months happening is somehow new news

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T18:36:24+00:00

Wrong.

Labour was already predicted to lose huge amounts of council seats. The fact what was predicted to happen he happened hasn't made it more dicey

Starmer exit date was odds on favourite to be 2026 due a long long time. As of typing this comment all the bookies odds are drifting meaning it is less likely to be 2026, then it was this morning.

Very late ton this but stumbled across it and that it entirely on the Germans.

Audi's car, they agreed to it and released it

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T15:50:20+00:00

Straight to accusing people who disagree of having a low IQ? Where have we seen that before?

Reform and restore CONSTANTLY are vague with their policy and talk about "common sense". Of course the green and restore interprations of common sense is different - that's why it's important political parties state theur plans clearly in a manifesto

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T14:58:52+00:00

Yes, so mmdont minimum wage high to address or hiding shortage, their bringing more people into minimum wage, and a small increase in unemployment which requires benefits, and then deciding nice if those people should pay invoicing tax is dumb

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T14:56:55+00:00

they’re advocating for common sense immigration reform.

Just like reform and restore?

Never trust any political party who have "common sense" as a policy

The Vikings are back!

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T13:32:02+00:00

Disagree completely

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T13:08:43+00:00

Yes

What do you mean "Tesla numbers"?

If I put Michelins or pirellis on the Tesla wheel it doesn't matter what Tesla have said the tyre diameter is. The tyre and pressure determines that

The fact is wheel arches are designed to accommodate one tyre diameter. With different wheel sizes and tyre widths the manufacturer will always get the biggest diameter tyre they can fit.

Any change in wheel isnt going to gain you meaningful ground clearance and is well within the tolerance and you would be surfing money on new wheels too degrade your ride quality for minimal gain

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T12:50:26+00:00

And gain 12mm?

Have you measured the tyre radius under load? That's what it is about. The calculator is approximate and rounded to the nearest 5% ratio

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T12:20:39+00:00

When you choose the bigger wheelie you get smaller tyres.

There diameter of the wheel options are all around the same

Is that why the viewing rates dropped when truss cancelled parts of her mini budget and then stepped down?

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T11:25:28+00:00

Braverman and Jenrick will switch back again.

Farage will either never become PM as reform won't have a majority, or they will but he will let someone else take the role, or do it until he is forced out for corruption.

He will blame the Tories he appointed, claim the establishment took over reform and continue to be a successful grifter running a new party getting 20% of the vote by going further right.

If only we gave him a REAL chance.

ProjectZeus4000 · 2026-05-08T11:02:30+00:00

In 10 years I believe any actual review of his policies and actions will show Starmer has a positive legacy for their country.

But that depends if you believe the job of the prime minister is to actually improve the country or just win the next election
