UK is going to trigger article 16 of the Northern Ireland protocol, a move both Dublin and Brussels expect in the coming days ( presumably after COP26 ).

And there we have it. It doesn't matter that he's a compulsive liar, a racist and complete failure, he's not Jeremy Corbyn so people will vote for him. Unbelievable.
He’s a bit bland but I wouldn’t describe Starmer as a compulsive liar, racist and complete failure.

Thing is, DK, I'm a white, male, over 50, educated, home-owning, middle class boomer, and I'm all for a fairer, more equitable society and I don't really care about increasing my share portfolio (such as it is!) and the value of my house - I know I've been very very lucky, having free Uni education (and even luckier that I dodged the ITA bullet in the 60s!) and the first house I bought was a share with 2 friends from Uni at the age of 30.
Unfortunately I am in the minority amongst my peers, some of whom can't see the irony of saying "why should I pay for x" when they benefitted from exactly that when they were younger, even when pointed out in words of one syllable.....a further irony is that many were anti-Brexit, saying we should stay part of a larger bloc where we can all work together for the common good!
I tend not to discuss politics with them if I can avoid it...
For those who did have to suffer ITA at school, you have my profound sympathies...
Too many people only care about what they get from a certain action or policy and it does tend to get worse as they get older because generally they have more wealth which they feel is a targeted without stopping to consider the wider benefits they might receive.
Totally agree with not discussing politics with some mates, the Guardian was "banned" by one of them from the chat group because he felt it was all made-up nonsense (ie. he didn't agree with it)!

This is spot on.

Let's not forget our PM regarded his £250k per year salary from the Torygraph as 'chicken feed'. These people live on another planet to the rest of us. Well, not really but I wish they did.

You can console yourself with the thought that if Boris did live on Mars he would be dead pretty sharpish either from freezing or asphyxiation and then his lungs would rupture.
If he was on Venus he would also be asphyxiated as well as crushed by the weight of the atmosphere whilst also burning to death from temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
