Absolutely 100% agreed.Burnham and Streeting in tandem would be formidableThe woman who was responsible for the Windrush scandal and for telling legally settled immigrants they shouldn't be here was not, in any way, a decent person.
Centre left keep all but the idiots happy, Centre Right soothe the markets and make great appeal to disaffected one nation Tories in seats where it's Labour v Reform
Both excellent communicators.
On a personal level I've no doubt Starmer is the same as May, Cameron, Brown, Blair, Major.,decent people who you could disagree with, question their competency and politics but at heart decent men and women
As for Farage, of course he's desperate for a General Election, he's like an aging right winger whose legs have gone, body has been abused by alcohol and fags and can't offer anything at all
He's desperate too to grab power, overturn democracy and turn the UK in to a totalitarian state. He can die waiting.
We don't want the political equivalent of Wee Willie Johnstone or Ted McMinn
Anyone who could sign off those "Go Home" vans is not decent.

100% agreeing with you.Well, quite... not sure if you're agreeing with me or notIs Home Alone a Christmas movie?In that case you and the British Public are wrong.Steve Bray's "Ode to Joy" plays out while Starmer resigns.A tribute to the film Die Hard, a film that was released in July 1988, which confirms it isn't a Christmas film and the British public agree with me.
Die Hard isn’t merely set at Christmas. Christmas is integral to the plot. The office party is the reason most of the building is empty and why the hostages are all gathered together. McClane is in Los Angeles because it’s Christmas. His entire character arc is about reconciling with his wife and rebuilding his family at Christmas. The soundtrack is full of Christmas music, the imagery is Christmas imagery throughout, and the story ends with redemption, reconciliation and good triumphing over evil.
A July release date proves nothing. Miracle on 34th Street was released in June.
Hill I will die (hard) on.
Die Hard is Home Alone for grown-ups.
Home Alone is universally accepted as a Christmas film despite also being a family comedy, a caper film and an object lesson in improvised anti-personnel warfare.
Like Die Hard, the plot only works because it’s Christmas. The family are travelling for Christmas, Kevin is left behind because of Christmas travel chaos, and the story culminates in family reconciliation at Christmas.
The fact that Die Hard is essentially Home Alone for adults doesn’t make it less of a Christmas film. It just has a higher body count.
Home Alone is absolutely a Christmas movie, and Die Hard is a more explosive Home Alone.
It is absolutely a Christmas movie.

Edit: Holiday Inn- the original Bing Crosby 'White Christmas' film was released in July and 'White Christmas' itself was released in October.

There was some suggestion of Streeting for CoE earlier, but I think someone who's taken 6 weeks to count to less than 81 isn't sufficiently numerate.

About that missile strike on the factory in Voronezh that makes microelectronics for Russian missiles...
Ukraine’s General Staff confirms Air Force strikes on a Voronezh plant producing electronics for Russian Iskander and Kh-101 missiles. High-precision air-launched cruise missiles hit the facility, which manufactures transistor assemblies, semiconductor arrays for Iskander-K 9M727 missiles and components for Pantsir-S1 systems.
Voronezh is ~300km from Kharkiv. Range of Storm Shadow is 550km.
I don't know of Ukraine having any other, "High-precision air-launched cruise missiles.." available to it.
