Much less time
Does not mean no time, but that it will not be the focus so most of the energy and time will be on domestic matters. He might make some changes, not being as friendly to Isreal is probably what will happen. But he isn’t going to suddenly change 180 to what has been policy for the last 2 years.
IWhat I’m trying to get at is that if you expect him to cancel arms deals with Isreal and provide aid to Gaza, then you will be disappointed.

He’s also signalled he will spend much less time on foreign affairs compared to Starmer. That to me does not mean the mistakes will be undone
- Comment on And still I see no changes 1 day ago:
Did anyone expect foreign policy changes? Burnham has only really talked about domestic policies which seems to be his focus.

He’s not in it for the money, just the love of the game

What’s going on in Scotland. Was it Glasgow that also recently had a massive fire near the train station?
- Comment on Asylum seekers to be billed £10k to cover own support once they start earning money 3 weeks ago:
A stupid plan that’s aim is to appease Reform voters but fails to do even that. What happens to those that don’t work after being approved, or earn below whatever threshold they set? Hardly a deterrent if they don’t have to pay. Actually do the opposite and make people avoid full time work, or work all together.
I know the average Reform voter isn’t all there upstairs, but come on, even they can see through this. It’s embarrassing
- Comment on Greta Thunberg Slams UK Government Ahead of 40C Heatwave 4 weeks ago:
And despite that, the same UK government just today passed the 7th Carbon Budget that aims to cut emissions by 87% by 2040. They are also bringing forward the next “clean energy auction” to get more renewable investment. Plus loads of upgrades to the grid to get more renewable energy to where it’s needed.
Granted they delayed the fuel duty increase but I feel like you can’t really blame this current government over much climate related.

It was all over the news though?
- Comment on Andrew sublet three cottages while paying ‘peppercorn rent’ to crown estate 1 month ago:
How can anyone, even monarchists, support the idea that the entire extended family seems to get freebies at our expense
- Comment on US demands end to two-tier policing after Henry Nowak murder 1 month ago:
The US should fix their own policing issues before commenting on others

- Comment on Parkrun and other sports bodies face legal action over transgender inclusion 2 months ago:
I wonder if a part of this isn’t just for the publicity itself so that the sponsors of parkrun get scared and withdraw their support
- Comment on Parkrun and other sports bodies face legal action over transgender inclusion 2 months ago:
Who the fuck cares who enters a park run? A non competitive event where everyone runs or walks together. I hope common sense prevails so that this is thrown out and they have to pay legal fees

There’s a simple solution here: ban fat people from using the lifts

All for it, but will it stop people? I’d think most people are aware of the danger, they just go anyway

A whole melon? In this economy?
- Comment on Majority of Britons would back a smoking ban in pub gardens 2 months ago:
Vapes I don’t mind as much, the smell is no where near as bad for me. My main issue with them though is knowing what the hell is in the “smoke”. The regulations don’t seem to have caught up
- Comment on Majority of Britons would back a smoking ban in pub gardens 2 months ago:
I think that is only shared accommodation, if you rent a property on your own, then it’s not illegal. Although I can’t see any landlords allowing it though due to the staining etc.
- Comment on Majority of Britons would back a smoking ban in pub gardens 2 months ago:
Not sure how practical it is but I would want to ban smoking anywhere in public. Do whatever you want in your own home, but smoking next to people just because there’s no roof directly overhead is just being a dick. Surely everyone knows about 2nd hand smoke at this point.
- Comment on MP rejects Palantir’s claims that criticism of NHS England deal is ‘ideologically motivated’ 3 months ago:
Of course it is ideologically motivated, Palantir could be the best and cheapest option but we still shouldn’t give them contracts. They are a US company and subject to the US cloud act so we would be giving up our data to the US.
We need better procurement guidelines/restrictions for public sector software contracts so that UK companies have greater weight.

- Comment on Scrapping North Sea windfall tax would not reduce UK energy bills, say experts 4 months ago:
I really need people to understand that oil from the North Sea isn’t nationalised and so is sold on the open market, at open market rates. Just because it’s drilled near us, we don’t get much of a discount, if any.
- Comment on We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos and mice. Can’t Britain do any better? 4 months ago:
If they managed during the pandemic I think they can handle it now. I would like some departments to be moved out of London but I get that London is a talent draw so some staff would not like to move.

That’s still pretty high, we have all the same problems as the US, just on a 2-3 year lag it seems
- Comment on New train stations part of £14bn UK government rail funding promise 5 months ago:
Glad there’s a north Wales station included. Would have liked to see the proposed Greenfield station on the coast line included but the Deeside one is good, especially once the Padeswood work is done to improve capacity.

- Comment on Grok AI key to Sport England suspending X account 6 months ago:
While I would accept a ban on X, the easiest way is to just to move away from it. If enough government, celebrity, news/sports accounts stop using it, the less relevant it becomes.
I can’t take a government seriously when they announce they are looking into banning X, whilst still being on it
