I would like to know why was Epstein charicter came to the UK to meet with Tony Blair back in the day, now Blair and Mandleson were as thick a thieves when New labour came to power. It came out in the news a couple of months ago then it went all quiet. Well lets hope Teflon Tony has a mention in these new notes that have been released and it all comes out pretty soon.

This somes it up;

"The reality is Keir Starmer knew he was appointing one of the dodgiest people in politics to the role of ambassador to the US - one of the best jobs in politics. He knew of his background and he knew of his relationship with Epstein and he still pushed ahead and appointed him.

"Let's not forget, back in 2008 Mandelson was corresponding with a known paedophile at a time when millions of people were being put out of work in this country. Mandelson - what he was doing at that time - was seeking to do favours for his best pal and to enrich himself in the process."

Regarding benefits, an employed man would have to earn £ 71,000 a year before stoppages to support a wife & three children & equal the amount paid out by disability benefit. If he or his wife were to manage to get on disability this would earn them the same as the above working man would get after deductions, I mean actual take home pay coming into the house. Remember this is not necessarily a terrible physical disease but can be got with 'anxiety & depression' ! It is far more than the basic dole & there is no requirement to look for or enter work, unlike the basic dole.
My source is a Radio 4 prog called 'More or Less' I heard while travelling to a job in my old van! Deemed by prog to be true.
Yes there does need to be radical reform (£71K top line on the books puts the worker into the top 10% of pay in UK)

If you are on Motability you should be offered maybe the choice of three cars a 5 door hatch, a five door estate or a standard people carrier they should be basic vehicles in maybe a fleet colour or all blue no other options there should certainly be no choice of different manufactures etc. That will stop alot of vehicle going to people that do not deserve to be driving around in tax payer funded vehicles.

she's single, very little family - WTF does she need a 5 door Rav for ?
agree it should be a 'bobby basic' vehicle to get them from A to B
there's another down the village has a 5 series Beemer estate on Motability - supposedly 'disabled' - goes kick boxing twice a week :mad:
never done a day's work in her life - her bro. is a plumber who works his butt off and her father was the same - know them well and they're well PO-ed with her behaviour 🤬

💥 will he even see local elections ??
I sense A leadership grab on the horizon.
Rats are in fighting.


"More immediately there are consequences for the prime minister’s authority.

An amendment the government tabled has had to be changed because Labour MPs – including most notably Angela Rayner – made it clear they would not support it.

Sir Keir Starmer’s ability to control his own party was already weakened. Now some MPs are asking whether it is more permanently damaged."

I can never understand how having time off work helps some of these problems. I've been really depressed in the past, felt like absolute s**t upstairs, but work was a constant, it was reason to get out of bed, and it allowed me to feel a sense of achievement when there was little else in my life. I cannot understand how sitting on the sofa or rotting in bed is meant to help.
