  1. After all the time it takes to suck that oil out, it will provide very few barrels in the grand scheme of things. It is a nod to show acquiescence and compliance to the fat oil fascists in America, which you don't want to do.

  2. Sadly I’ve been a labour supporter since starting work in 1959 and joining a union, I liked Andy Burnham when he was in Blair’s government, sadly I don’t like the way he has become Labour Party leader and. prim-minister, he has not to he’s agenda to the Labour voters, it looks too much like a move for a foreign country and not a democratic country, either have Labour Party members vote you in or preferably wait until Keir stepped down at the next election and be voted in on your own policies, we sen in the past people given the leadership by a Labour congress only to be voted out at a general election, like most London voters we are watching to see how much you intend on strip from the south to satisfy your supporters up north 🤨

  3. Just like that, we have a new PM. I didn't vote for him and never would. I don't want a General Election as I fear the Farage Fascist take over of the country with Trump vibes. We need electoral reform.
