There being just 2 genders has nothing to do with same sex marriage. And I don't really see these marriages revoked & nor should they.

No, and I didn't realise there are calls for it to be overturned.

Common sense at last 👏

Ah, got you 👍

Which way would you have asked the question.

So now you have a ASHP & a combi boiler? Why would you do that?

Exactly this. She quit and wasn't sacked which means KS is OK with the sleaze, which isn't a good look for someone who boasted about cleaning up politics. Yet here we are, same mindset just wearing a different colour tie.

Is that attendance record or voting record?

That's ok, I understand your point. IMO, Climate change does have an effect on what we have seen recently, but it's not always the greater cause of the issues.

In a perfect world of course 👍

Right. If you are not putting in place adequate means to extinguish fires then they are going to spread, causing the disaster playing out now.

Rachel from accounts won't last the year.

I agree the last government was a shambles, especially the last few years and I won't make any attempt to defend them, ultimately that's why they lost the election. Labour have had years to prepare for government and even boasted of a ready made plan. Yet so far they have upset pensioners, farmers, businesses (increasing NI Which affects anyone who works, despite promises not increasing tax on working people) ,to name a few. I think it’s quite telling that nothing springs to mind when asked what they are doing well at. No wonder approval ratings have plummeted. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51211-where-public-opinion-stands-at-the-beginning-of-2025 I find it weird that people on here will only ever defend Labour and never see the wrongs and even blaming the media. Hey, It's OK to criticise the party you voted for.

Go on then...

Not just the right wing press. https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/half-britons-disappointed-labour-so-far-pessimism-over-missions-grows Just a quarter (26%) say Keir Starmer is doing a good job as Prime Minister A new Ipsos poll reveals continued public disappointment with the Labour government's performance as we approach five months after their election victory. The survey, conducted online among 1,092 British adults aged 18-75 between November 22nd and 25th, 2024, paints a picture of growing concern about the government's ability to deliver on its key promises. The end of the honeymoon period continues for Labour Just over half (53%) of Britons say that they are disappointed with what Labour have done in government so far, little changed from 50% in September. One in 5 (19%) say they are pleased. This includes almost three in ten (28%) of those who voted for the party in the last General Election, although 2024 Labour voters are the only group who are more pleased (38%) than disappointed by what Labour have done in government so far. 81% of Conservative 2024 voters and 90% of Reform UK voters are unhappy with the government’s performance. Disappointment is also high among those aged 55-75, with three quarters (74%) saying that they are unhappy (+11ppts since September). Those aged 18-34 are split on Labour’s performance, with 31% pleased and 35% disappointed. Labour's missions Elsewhere in the poll, Labour’s performance on the five key missions that the party campaigned on was assessed, with the public asked to say how the government is delivering now, and how well they expect the party to do ahead of the next General Election. There is little public confidence that the Labour Government will deliver, either now or by the next election, while negative views have increased since September. The NHS remains the top priority for Britons, with two thirds (66%) saying that building an NHS fit for the future is the most important of Labour’s missions. This is followed by kickstarting economic growth (38%) and taking back the streets by reducing crime (33%). For each mission, only around 1 in 5 think the Labour government is doing a good job now (from 16% on taking back the streets to 22% for building an NHS fit for the future), and only slightly more think it will do a good job by the next election (from 23% for taking back the streets to 30% for the NHS). More think the Labour government is or will do a bad job, a feeling which has grown since September. When thinking about current performance, between 38% (for breaking down barriers to opportunity) and 45% (for kickstarting economic growth and taking back the streets) say the government is doing a bad job. Since September negative ratings have increased by between five to nine percentage points. Looking ahead to the next election, still between 38% (breaking down barriers) and 44% (taking back the streets) think the government will do a bad job, with negative ratings increasing by 5-6 ppts.

Why's that then?

What did he tweet about the hypocrite that is Jess Phillips?

Plenty of people on remand that are waiting conviction, so I'm sure it's legal. In practice it won't make a jot of difference.

After 6 months in charge this is thier proposal to smash the gangs...Laughable...

Hardly something worth rewarding for then is it.

He may have won the elections but his record speaks for its self... Knife crime is rampant and out of control. Phone thefts is a regular occurrence. 1 rape reported every hour in London. Antisemitism has skyrocketed. Antisemites & Islamists emboldened. Nightlife decimated. The crime rate in London is unacceptable and that is something he is responsible for overseeing.

Spot on there. Another example of rewarding failure.

Actually the sun has been setting earlier since 11 December but it won't rise early until the end of the month. But you're right, overall the daylight hours are now getting longer.
