It's brilliant as a piece of theatre in isolation. However they are so far gone down the facist route now, there's going to be a big reckoning soon when the western democracies abandon them. The Free Palestine movement in the West has ballooned in recent months and is becoming a majority position. With every battle they win, Israel is losing the global sympathy war
The Westerm democracies are cosy with other fascist regimes; you may be right, but I can’t see the US (or, therefore, the UK) walking away.
In addition who is going to buy anything from Israel now as it might have a bomb in it. Netanyahu is destroying Israel from the inside out.
It’s not a good look. He’s had a bad couple of weeks, after a good start. Has seemed naive, and a bit stubborn…not unlike someone else I could mention…
Haha
Labout, Tories, Reform, Lib Dems they are the same
I don’t think he’s broken any actual rules, which is why I say it’s not a good look - taking lots of freebies when you’re on a very healthy salary, and when millions of the people you represent are struggling with the cost of living, suggests pretty poor judgment. His unwillingness to accept this might be the case suggests stubbornness.
On his wages saying if he did not get free tickets he could not go to games
One of my favourite stories is how in the Yugoslav wars, when the high tech NATO comms were found to be being intercepted by the Serbs they just sent in the Welsh Guards and used Welsh as an unbreakable encription method!
Id wait and see what happens/give it a bit of context of tine. It feels like a bit of a hachett job by a few disgruntled former-regime SPADS
I thought these leaks were from current regime SPADS that are disgruntked because they've all been given pay-cuts due to being transferred from labour-parry employees to the civil service pay bands only to find out that Sue Gray (who they all seem to also hate) has been given a huge pay rise?
Hmm. He’s already said that the Arsenal corporate box story is true. Says it’s for security reasons, which is fair enough - but he should pay for it himself then if he feels he’d like to go. He sidestepped the question about his glasses being paid for. It’s a poor look for a new Labour government imo - worrying that he’s shooting himself in the foot so easily so early, and allowing the narrative to be taken over.
As expected no different to the last lot in power
I'm not particularly surprised about that, as I imagine there are a few senior civil servants who would earn more than the PM. Appreciate she's now working for the Labour party but she was unlikely to take a significant drop in pay to do so.
