The Old Crem

Retiring at the end of the Month due to his health issues. Bob Harris taking over.

A non job really. Suspect she will do that until sometime next year and then quietly leave it during a time where there is other things going on in Politics or the World so it doesn’t get noticed much.

Wouidnt suoriseed me if that new place is Goverment is a peerage and not much else.

The Sun have noticed it now. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30885400/julie-goodyear-home-on-sale/

Not all those people wanted the islands going back to Mauritius through. Divided opinions in the community. https://inews.co.uk/news/chagos-island-fury-mauritius-uk-3309127

It will take the list a few years to recover from how this year has been.

I do wonder how Labour will cope trying to stop losing voters to Reform while also facing a stronger Green Party and other left/libreal parties. It’s a big challenge at the moment.

Must be a chance it all ends spectacularly for him and his regime.

She has been giving media interviews this morning via telephone in support of Assisted dying. This blunder at the start of one made me laugh. https://metro.co.uk/2024/10/04/bbc-radio-host-mortified-huge-blunder-terminally-ill-dame-esther-rantzen-21733152/

Mauritius is now a strong ally of China so that is more difficult now for many in the west to accept.

Even Labour MP’s (Alber one with major electoral reasons for doing so) are complaining now.

The other papers are reporting it but all by quoting the Mail and adding their own speculation.

Leaked Email suggests Gary Linekar could leave Match of the Day as early as this weekend.

They must have just made up the quotes that the person they was meant to have said.

The only time I’ve met someone from those islands was the builders who did up my family’s house. They were a Mauritian heritage family.

Just been given a breaking news notification by Sky News.

I thought you were opposed to the Winter fuel cuts. The Tories have decided to despise those as well.

National security. It’s an important military base for the west. Plus it’s the principle as now people will assume he will give the Falklands to Argentina or Gibraltar to the Spain. Tories can’t believe their luck with this.

It’s not. The Tory front bench has gone full on criticising this as has anyone to right the of Starmer really.

Because it’s an massive own goal to allow everyone to call them unpatriotic during a period of declining unpopularity

I’m amazed Starmer has been stupid enough to hand back the Chagos islands.

I think a lot of people hate using online things for medical stuff. I’m surprised Labour haven’t realised a digital NHS is a word that is creating dear and confusion for many people.
