I'm sure under normal circumstances a prospective government might want to talk to other leaders. However this is not normal circumstances. The team they are talking to represent a former president who is currently in court in multiple cases against him, led a protest that almost caused absolute...

He could do that anyway. He can turn on anyone at any time, in fact he does all the time. The only way to keep in his favour is to keep massaging his ego and of course support his claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. That is not a position we want to be in regardless of what party...

Then if that happens deal with him after his inauguration, no need to deal with him before because we can't trust that he will stand by anything he says now.

Well I'm not convinced its a good idea, Trump is the last person anyone should be looking to deal with unless they absolutely have to, especially at the moment when his focus is on raising money for his legal bills. Even if they've gone over there just to establish a working relationship they...

But that could be done after November if he does avoid jail and makes the White House again. Do you really think anything Team Trump say will stick if they do win?

That actually depends on the candidates. Once upon a time they would hit the streets with their team going doo to door, so those that wanted to could look them in the eye and ask them about the issues that most concerned them. It was always a good litmus test, and I think made it just that bit...

Indeed, Prescott couldn't never match the orange-ness of Trump... :D But being serious again, anyone with a pulse should know by now that Trump can never be trusted and should never be cozied up to. All Labour have to do at this stage is say they will work with whatever administration wins in...

Frankly Labour should be keeping as much distance from "Team Trump" as they can. Because Trump is going to want something for any co-operation, and you know damn well it won't be something that benefits us as a country. This is an incredibly poorly judged move, and will only serve to bite us on...

If that is really how people vote, then we deserve every bad government we've had and will have. She'll be happy to have held onto the easiest job in West Yorkshire, she hasn't had to anything in four years except take credit for other people's work. However she did state that there would be...

You can't play delay bingo without sheep / cows / swans / geese on the line... :lol:

I seem to remember that another senior member of the Labour party had views on Jewish people not too long since that Labour managed to also sweep under the carpet. They seem to have form with people who can't keep their mouths shut. To put it bluntly I simply don't trust Labour under Starmer...

Labour already warming up their excuses for when things go wrong when they are in power eh? I mean its good to give future policy decisions the litmus test, but they might have been a bit more subtle than that... You know a good Labour party would have come out and said they were disappointed...

I understand that there are circumstances where zero hours contracts can be beneficial, but reading what's been said so far this feels like a huge loophole has just been re-opened and these kinds of contracts will continue regardless of them being beneficial or detrimental to workers. Honestly...

Its sounding like business lobbyists have already got to Labour, not that this is a surprise of course. As the Tories gallop further right, so Labour shuffle across the centre line to fill the void, making it more likely that they will perform more u-turns on policies as they come under pressure...

Ha ha yeah, my bad. I didn't read the title properly! :oops:

There's The Hop underneath Leeds station arches, close to the Southern Entrance (opposite the Double Tree hotel). Worth a visit if for no other reason than to also see the river Aire flowing underneath the station, a real marvel of engineering, especially given how high the river has been...

Its not without merit, I'd certainly have a use for carnet for the same journey over longer periods as I do with the current 8 in 28 flexis, and I'm sure plenty of other people would too. And really all it would involve (save working out any discounted price) would be to extend the number of...

Some good early photos there, cheers. I particularly like the one with VP in the background, you can almost see my seat in the Kop (at the very bottom right of the 'R')!!. :D But good to see some progress, and it should be clearer for people wondering how the platform will fit in and how it...

Please see my previous post, its not a precedent. I don't want to end up going in circles but governments over the years have on occasions made an offer being put to the membership a caveat. I'm sorry that's just how they are. I know as do they that it would be rejected, but a membership vote is...

I know, but as I mentioned it is not unusual for the government to ask that an offer to be put to the membership rather than executives making the decision. So both sides refuse to budge and the dispute rumbles on.
