    Harry and Markle resign from the royal family

    You cannot resign from the royal family, you are born into it.

    They are merely stepping down as senior royals to become more financially independent

    Comparing monarchy to socialism + politically active left and right wingers = many annoyed posters

    No, inherited wealth, which conservatives support unlike socialists and inherited jobs, which include executives in family businesses, are not socialist. Socialism is state control of the economy
    * Jobs for life
    * Hereditary principle
    * Pomp and circumstance

    Just like SOCIALIST North Korea!
    Jobs for life has got nothing to do with socialism, plenty of farmers and those in family businesses have jobs for life in capitalist economies.

    Plenty of US political dynasties such as the Kennedys and the Bushes and inaugration day in the US and Bastille Day in France are full of pomp and circumstance, neither are socialist

    Sir Kier will never appeal to "red wall" voters so he will be unelectable in 2024 IMO but he will probably start the process of bringing Labour back to sanity so whoever follows him may have a chance in 2029.

    btw.. I have spoken to several females of my age and they all seem to think Meghan was and is "trouble". I have no idea as to why? Any ideas?

    Cluster B personality disorder. If you've ever dated one you can spot them a mile away.

    It's widely believed that Diana had BPD, so Harry would have grown up looking for a woman in the same mould.

    The real miracle is that William turned out pretty normal.

    He isn't going to go very far if he continues to avoid giving straight answers. It is impossible to demand the government answer his questions when he won't/can't do the same.

    The same way that people here “know” so many things. They read them in the online Mail or Guardian. Both of which are, no doubt coincidentally, free.

    Red wall voters voted for Corbyn in 2017 as he promised to deliver Brexit, when he did not they voted for Boris in 2019 instead. Starmer is unlikely to appeal much to Leave voters there however he might appeal more to London and southern Remainers who voted Tory in 2017 and 2019 to keep out Corbyn

    Starmer doing his Owen Jones’s da impression to win over the numpty Corbynite MPs - he will then tack towards LD Blairism when he wins - betting they won’t turn on him as they are cowards.

    We know that they've had a big falling out because William has said as much. I doubt this move is unrelated to that. But whatever, good luck to them.

    What a hero! Let's hope he doesn't fall.
  • Wow. Some raw hatred for Meghan Markle on here tonight. Curious. When Boris diverts public funds to his fancy woman he's lauded; when Harry removes them from his wife he's vilified.

    I get the feeling that for some folk Harry and Meghan are a bigger detriment to the first family of the nation than Andrew. Let's hope it's not revealed that Andrew has had sex with a trafficked young woman of mixed race or his rep will really be in the toilet.

    So less than half the PLP has chosen a candidate then.

    That might be interesting if some elect to stay neutral - Corbyn presumably will in light of his public statements but I wonder if any others will?

    And at least he is being honest about his capabilities

    He has long been one of the most clueless in Parliament

    Hi ydoethur,

    Was it you that was asking for stats about SLab voters who back Scottish independence? A couple of days later I read an article by a SLab member that dealt with this topic. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Did Barry G read this and then decided he was convinced and threw his hat into the ring?

    It was, and thanks, I would be interested.

    Wow. Some raw hatred for Meghan Markle on here tonight. Curious. When Boris diverts public funds to his fancy woman he's lauded; when Harry removes them from his wife he's vilified.

    That really is quite depressing. Maybe it is because Meghan is American? Oh wait...
    Its not her nationality- it’s her politics.
    What are her politics?

    I suspect the nation is being disingenuous. It's not her race it's her politics!

    btw.. I have spoken to several females of my age and they all seem to think Meghan was and is "trouble". I have no idea as to why? Any ideas?

    Oh you wound me with your superiority, sir. Perhaps you could offer a training course to lead to us to enlightenment and help ascend, buddha like, to your level :)

    Yes, it's fair to say your first 50,000 posts are your best after which it's a long slippery slope.
    Quantity over quality I always say.

    That statement by the Palace is as close to DefCon One as it gets.

    The apologists for Harry and Meghan on here tonight might want to reflect on the part their behaviour might have played in this rather than just casting aspirations on those who critique them.
