This may be the most damning statement ever uttered by a Labour minister. It's so revealing of the attitude of a government that thinks that employers are a class that don't work for their profits but somehow exploit others for them - rather than understanding the nature of small and medium-sized businesses and how bloody hard most employers work to create wealth and employment.
'I don't think employers are working people.'

Have they considered letting people produce energy using the various industrial processes discovered over the last 200 years? Crazy idea, I know.
Europe’s energy ministers are running out of ideas to protect citizens from surging energy prices as winter approaches.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Huntingdon attack.
I am thinking of our colleagues and customers who were directly involved, and remembering their incredible bravery, courage and professionalism.

A Prime Minister furious with his own government, who doesn't think his own policies go far enough and wasnt impressed with his own budget certainly is doing things differently.
He's exercising a rather odd detachment, as if he's a political voyeur who has no say in outcomes.
Thick as mince.

Finally, I would like to issue a formal apology for the 100 Years War. I am especially sorry that it happened before I was born and was therefore unable to influence it in any way. You have no idea how formally sorry I am.

Ieri sera, profittando del viaggio presidenziale in Africa del presidente Nawrocki, il premier della sinistra europeista Tusk ha mandato la polizia a bloccare i lavori della corte costituzionale, impedendo al suo presidente, al vice e ad alcuni giudici di entrare nel palazzo. Il presidente della Repubblica ha fatto invertire la rotta al suo aereo, è tornato a Varsavia e si è diretto con la sua scorta al palazzo della Corte dove ha dovuto aprirsi fisicamente la strada a gomitate tra gli agenti di polizia mentre la folla lo acclamava. Una volta giunto ai cancelli ha ordinato la loro apertura, consentendo al vicepresidente della Corte di entrare nel palazzo.
Ora Tusk batte in ritirata raccontando di aver chiesto l'intervento della polizia per proteggere i giudici.
Il presidente della Repubblica ha convocato per oggi consultazioni urgenti con tutte le forze politiche.
Una breve spiegazione per coloro che non hanno conoscenze di politica polacca:
Un anno fa, il popolo polacco ha eletto un presidente della Repubblica conservatore, Karol Nawrocki.
La Polonia ha attualmente il governo Tusk di sinistra-liberal-woke-europeista che vuole frontiere aperte e altre stupidaggini europee ma che non controlla ancora la corte costituzionale.
Il governo Tusk sta tentando di prendere illegalmente il controllo dei giudici al fine di minare l'elezione del presidente Nawrocki.
Solo in questo modo l'europeista Tusk può assicurarsi il potere assoluto per sé. Tusk sa che perderà le elezioni del 2027, quindi sta tentando di minare l'ordine costituzionale dello stato e di rimuovere un presidente amato dal popolo polacco.
Preghiamo per la Polonia e il presidente Nawrocki.
PS. non credo che sentirete questa notizia. Facciamo girare.
PPS. immaginate se una cosa del genere la facesse la premier Meloni....

Prince Albert apologised for slavery back in 1840 in a speech at an international anti-slavery meeting in London. 186 years ago…
Perhaps the Prime Minister would do better to focus on the 50 million people enslaved TODAY - four times the number transported throughout 300 years of transatlantic slavery.

It’s helpful to remember that the show depicted these virtues, if you will, as obtaining among a crew of hierarchically organized scientist-explorer-warriors operating under military discipline aboard the flagship of a rigidly selective organization that stood outside and above everyday Earth society.
