Well Done Rosie Duffield

After the waves of disappointment that have hit me over the Labour party recently, this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you Rosie.

I so admire RD, and I’m so disappointed with KS. It was all so exciting to contemplate having a change of government, who would do something about our public services, but it looks like he is not competent enough to be PM. Of course they totally mishandled the winter fuel payment cancellation whilst accepting freebies.

I am sick of the stories of nepotism, rule breaking, sleaze, greed, spin doctoring, lies and behaviour unbecoming that has gone on for years now. Therefore, I am not surprised that there is little tolerance for a new government being perceived as going down the same route. Duffield is having her 15 minutes of fame just now but next week the media will have some other story hitting the headlines to stir up public dissent.

I think its KS and co greedy acceptance of freebies and total disregard for public opinion and weldare which she's on about. She has integrity and is better off out of it and keeping her principles. If you're not like them you wouldn't last long with the sharks.

Let those who are without sin throw the first stone.

Not in my opinion it hasnt. It's been comments on quite an important news story.

It has been nasty from the beginning of the thread

This is getting nasty now. Not worth any more comments, no one will change their minds, clearly . It is either Saint Keir or dodgy Keir Harmer. Personally I think the latter and that it was a mistake to put him forward as PM. Time will tell no doubt.

It was a personal attack, explains why she is applauded here.

Having just read her letter it just seems like a personal attack on Starmer and disgruntlement that he had risen through the ranks without being on the back benches. I also don’t understand why she’s blaming him for child poverty after 14 years of Conservative government.

Rosie Duffield and her affairs are of no interest to me, I spoke of it because she had been given a position in parliament by Starmer, yet now says he has a problem with women

Another thread becoming personal, this is the reason I decided long ago to stop posting on the political threads, it’s unpleasant and unnecessary. Whether we approve of Rosie Duffield having a married lover is not the point at issue - of course we’re all so perfect here - and digs at other people’s loved ones are out of order.

I’ll leave you to it.

Why does anyone need glasses costing £2500?

Matt Hancock also spent time with his lover. So did a few other people….

My dad had a suit from C&A, he wore it to my wedding as he couldn't afford a new one. I loved him and was proud of him. He was Labour through and through. I don't think he'd like aspects of present day politics at all, even including aspects of Labour.
I don't venture into Primark, but from what I read it's definitely a step down quality wise from C&A as was.

Anniebach and obviously different views on the meaning of lies and truth.

Thanks for the apology for the fatuous comment does my niece have dementia, when I'd stated she's a midwife......oh hold on, of course there wasn't one. My niece lives a mile or so from me, involving a minimal drive, not a 300 mile round trip. Didn't we all condemn Dominic Cummings for driving from London to Durham because it breached the rules? That Johnson saw fit to manufacture a series of lies to cover for him didn't make it right.

Stephen didn’t lie, he spoke openly of his visit to his parents, did RD speak openly of her meeting with her man friend?
Big difference, mother with dementia and spending time with a lover, well there is for me

You obviously can’t see the need to see parents were safe yet you can for a tired midwife we are not going to agree on this

It does Rosie51, it’s a Dutch brand I think, no longer available in the UK but it is in Europe, which is why I thought it would be suitable. Man at Primark doesn’t have the same kudos somehow.

1600 C&A stores worldwide. None in the UK.

Blimey that's a blast from the past Casdon does Man at C&A exist anymore? Loved C&A when I was a teenager.

It’s not the clothes which are the problem- it’s the choice of body wearing them.

ronib you don’t like the Labour Party, or Keir Starmer and his team. Your views on “the unions and the working classes” sound like something Lady Grantham might say
You must be aware that the LP has members who are successful business people, professors, medical and other professions, the law being an area that draws many Labour supporters

Surely we should know our place and not swank about in clothes that aren’t from Alexandra Workwear or similar Iam64! As for the PM, blue shirt, red braces and a Man at C&A suit is quite good enough.

Not true Anniebach

ronib the days of pidgeon lofts and breeding whippets have long gone

Iam64 actually I am off all politicians. I mean what is the point of them? Lady Grantham or not.
