  1. At least the Tories are gone..

    Keir Starmer loves his country, but he is going to let down a whole lot of British people.. 😐😐😐

    Nothing much changes with politics.. 🤨

  2. All current economic downturn is 100% the fault of the left in europe and the US. That is irrefutable fact. Destabilization was the plan. The pandemic. The wars. The disruptions. The disenfranchisement. The demoralization.

    YOUR. FAULT. And no the tories are not right wing

  3. The super-rich Brits are not very optimistic, they are looking for new homes in so-called tax havens such as Switzerland and Monaco. "Barbados will soon become too boring for us, sun and sea and because there is no western art and culture there." Switzerland has art museums, an opera house and well-known boarding schools, is very centrally located in terms of transport and is a very safe country. The downside of the medallion is that the housing market is overheated in some places in Switzerland.

  4. The economy will probably improve sooner or later, as the wars will end, or the world will learn to live with the wars. Stability will bring improvement. But what Starmer will inevitably fail to do is to fix the NHS. Either he raises taxes to fund the NHS, which will cause people to vote his government out, or he doesn't raise taxes and has no money to fix the NHS, which will also cause people to vote him out.

  5. Yeah right. Wait until he starts handing out enormous pay rises to the public sector. 35% to junior doctors for starters. We are bankrupt now and it will only get worse under this comrade.

  6. It's pipe dream… The UK economy is gone forever: The UK economy was built by slavery stealing invasion you name it.. Stolen property don't last long, there's no place for UK to steal right now.

  12. At least the UK elections are very straightforward unlike in France. Now in France it seems like a mockery of democracy by collusion. There is no difference between Iran election and France election, they just want to remove candidates instead of respecting vote of majority in constituency.

  19. The invisible hand of economy is how to fix the market.. not socialist regulatory tape that slows business and growth to a halt.

    Sad day for UK

  21. How are you going to decide the difference between a 'Muslim' and 'an Islamist ' ?
    What a laughable statement by the PM of UK !
    The attack by the Afghan in Germany had no previous history of violence 😂
