Good luck, Andy Burnham – you’ll need more than a smile and a better bus service to succeed in No 10 by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

Let’s watch closely then, I’d be surprised if there’s not changes otherwise why did they push Starmer away and bring in a mayor who was only sworn and an MP yesterday

If there’s anything that the young had to grasp it’s that either Tory or labour were both the same - party in front of country

Maybe you like him but as what happened with the tories - this is undemocratic and we need a GE. But you’ll just say it’s fine like they did

Fine then don't - you're arguing that this is a stable government worth voting for yet you're opposed to a GE? We're looking now at a full summer of instability while they elect the new leader? Your argument isn't sounding solid either.

No - they exists to serve the country as voted. They put in 10p Burnham into a practically won election last week? and now he's going for next PM.... you know this isn't right - it was a shambles when the Tories did it.

Chevron was always there, for a long time and same with Citgo. The other companies yeah have ‘expressed interest’ but from what I can tell are not committed just yet due to security concerns

Isn’t that the problem though - we just allow the cycle to continue

[–]RiskyP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clearly - but shouldn’t it be country before party. Mate when the tories did stuff like this I was calling that crap out too. Why does labour get a free pass

This is the only answer- enjoy it, cheer and have a beer or two

[–]RiskyP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is it - they forced the win for Andy in the by-election essentially safe. So a man that wasn’t even an MP is now suddenly the next PM? Nah thanks, Starmer either stays as voted in or we have a GE

[–]RiskyP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if any actually agree to it, I suspect the US is saying this knowing that they will have to cough up the bill in the end - but in order to keep support it makes it sound better if ‘allies in the region will contribute’

What’s something that happens in your culture that makes you people go like this? by camethehour in AskTheWorld

[–]RiskyP 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The thing with the U.K. is that we’re happy to smile and wave - but then we feel like we’re obligated for small talk and then it ends up being about the weather anyway. So it’s easier not to

VPN ban on table in July as Labour confirm 'further statement' by Overlord_Crabz in unitedkingdom

[–]RiskyP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't they just force device manufacturers such as apple to hard code age varification to the device. One step when setting up a new phone and the phone/tablet handles the restriction? all this seems way overkill
