Bungo, a lot of people in the party don't like him for his anachronistic views, it's not for nothing that Jacob Rees Mogg is known as the honourable member for the eighteenth century, which gets my vote.

All that fearmongering you’ve been lapping up like the good lil Libtard you really are is being proven wrong.
Trump is proving the Doomers wrong and all you’ve got now is Apple ffs!!’
LOL!
Doesn’t appear Apple has the supply chain issues you’ve been banging on about does it?
India will be making all US production for the I phone for now.
Poor old Goose, just doesn’t have a clue.
Are you joking?
Your entire rhetoric has been about tariffs bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. All that’s happened is those manufacturing jobs have moved from China to India…….. and made them more expensive.
absolute genius
the market recovery you are celebrating happened because……… Trump was forced to pause tariffs. Watch the reaction in 3 months when/if they’re reintroduced.
Here you go lying again.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202 ... as-future/
And to be clear my rhetoric as you well know has been.
No, the sky is not falling
No, China can’t win this Tariff battle with the USA as the USA can always find alternatives for product but China can’t replace the US Consumer.
Trump will end up coming out way ahead as he will bring manufacturing Jobs back, which is already happening, see the link above.
Trade barriers against US companies will be removed as will Tariffs already in place against US companies.
China will do more to stop Fetanyl
IP laws will have to be followed
Dumping will have to stop
Amd certain supply chains from China will be replaced due to national security concerns.
And the stock market will rebound which is why I bought the sell of in Tech stock and Treasuries.
So stop trying to weasel your way out of being exposed as just another libtard. We all k ow the liberal playbook, it didn’t work the first time.
Just admit, You are wrong about the Tariffs just like you have been wrong about practically everything else. Including the U K.
All anyone has to do is read the thread ffs!
Poor Goose floundering all over the place.

I always got the feeling that she was put in place when she was so they could show their 'progress' by putting in somebody more electable before the next election.
I too am sure that JRM would fit that bill admirably!

Both Parties for different reasons have been smashed to bits during these local and by-elections.
Exactly. However, the Tories imploded long ago which lead to this titanic Labour mess. This was just the final nails for the Tories, but it's only getting started for Labour. It's going to be very difficult for either to recover, but it depends on how smart the Lib Dems are on taking Labour down.

YTD the US markets are anywhere from 4% to 8% down depending on which one you look at.
In that time JPM has raised the possibility of a US recession, as did Goldman.

What I want to know is how can someone who apparently lives there be so wrong about it all.
Perhaps you should pull your head out of your arse, then perhaps you’ll get something right!
You do enjoy making shit up!!
I’ve pointed out the NUMEROUS incorrect things you’ve posted about the UK. Let me know anywhere that I said Labour were doing well or might win local

Goose,
US stock market has had 9 straight days of gains, longest run in 21 years. Does that mean the recession is off now?

Reforms Luke Campbell wins Mayoralty for Hull. Weren't a bad little boxer either once upon a time.
They've also currently won 7 Councils with over 500 seats and counting.
A great day for Reform and only just the beginning...

The reality is that our FPP system is not representative of the way people vote. Forget Labour’s massive Parliamentary majority because it in no way reflects the way people voted in theGE nearly a year ago.
We urgently need to reform Westminster democracy because with Reform’s rise we will continue to elect governments, with comfortable working majorities, that do not reflect the wishes of the majority of the people.
