Can someone explain what Prince Harry is thinking with all this sh*tshow over his security?

"I don't want to be a working royal anymore and I want to live in America, but I want the British tax payer to continue paying for police and military security"

It's all over the BBC along with him booing about the fact his own dad and his brother won't speak to him anymore and all I can think looking at it all is "what a c*ck"....am I wrong?

I thought (but am less sure now) that he was OK with funding it himself but the issue was that he wanted the the security to be provided by the Royal Protection force (I may have the name wrong) as they are the ones with the specialised training but the State was not amenable to making those resources available to him, even at his own expense.

Not at all, he is just the same as all the entitled royals parisites on the surface of humanity.

Labour are caught between a bit of a rock and a hard place because they have a large core support made up of economically socialist but socially conservative voters. They're the sort of voters that are anti-immigration, anti-liberalisation and instinctively protectionist. They're the sort of disillusioned voters that Trump appeals to in the US and the sort of voters Labour lost in significant volumes to Brexit Party and Boris Johnson's tories in 2019. These lost voters largely didn't turn out to vote at all in 2024 rather than "come back to Labour" but appear to now be moving to proactively supporting Reform. The risk for Labour is that while the remaining bulk of this part of their core vote stuck with Labour in 2024 to kick the tories out, the fact that the tories seem destined for electoral oblivion for the next few terms makes Reform a more attractive proposition and Labour do seem to have started losing voters from 2024 to them already.

Just on Labour's "rock and hard place", while Blair always said you can't pass an opportunity up to govern, I do wonder whether Labour actually could have done their longer term prospects a favour by Rishi Sunak scraping a victory in 2024 and clinging on for another 5 years in a similar manner to John Major in 1992.

What Labour have been handed is the incomplete job of recovering the economy from Covid, the energy crisis and geopolitical events in the middle east and Ukraine.

As Truss saw, markets are febrile and to maintain market confidence and manage existing pricing of UK debt and £ sterling, Labour are having to go out of their way to demonstrate that any significant investment in public services and infrastructure is balanced with measures to significantly push down on borrowing and costs elsewhere.

This has led to the key word on the doorstep among 2024 Labour voters being "betrayal".

Like JohnMajor in 1992 (who is credited with stabilising the economy and laying the ground work for the late 90s/00s economic boom), I think Labour could have done with Sunak having to finish the unpopular job and handing them a far more stable economy with far more wriggle room in 2029....

I think by design or otherwise they have done ok with Trump, fluffed his bum with the letter from the King whilst keeping his madness at an arms length. I think given Trumps investments here and his affinity to the crown and the country we just have to plod along without prodding the bear and opening Trumps inner child.

The good thing is even Americans are now seeing how much of a liability Trump is......

The conservatives would not be the party to recover he economy, not in the truest sense.

It'd have been like 1997 though, yes, there's rubble, but there money and resources to rebuild and say "hey we are the good guys after the bad guys". What they've got in 2024 is they're taking over from the demolition workers with a contract to complete the demolition work prior to rebuilding...

Whichever party came in 2024 has a job to complete in recovering the economy. I happen to think Hunt and Sunak were doing a fine job of it and market confidence in the UK was increasing. It's now back in the toilet. Not quite Liz Truss levels of "confidence is at the bottom of a portacabin toilet on day 4 of an outdoor festival", but a toilet nonetheless....
