Clayton's Political View

So I was part way writing a general review of the Labour Party conference when something amazing happened Keir Starmer stepped up to the podium yesterday and gave a tour de force performance and speech that has firmly cemented his leadership. It was full of detail and great oratory. He met heckles with great rebuttals and responses. He had multiple standing ovations and it met with great responses. Keir has turned Labour into an election winning machine, backed up by Jeremy Hunt saying that Keir is a threat to the Conservatives like Tony Blair was back in the nineties.    This years conference has been tricky in spots with Andy McDonald resigning but for leader Keir Starmer however he has risen to the occasion, brushed it off and has pivoted in a good way even making a few jokes at the same time. Keir has had the biggest hospital pass of leadership in living memory the only time when I can think of a dramatic change of leadership is when Margaret Thatcher transferred power to ...

Remember a little while ago when The Conservatives proudly told the nation that they had ended our freedom of movement around the country? Well over the past week the governments logistical chickens have come home to roost in the form of a petrol crisis.

The Prime Minister can't go long with out creating a diplomatic incident.  The Prime Minister has form for making inappropriate comments regarding other peoples backgrounds and I won't go into the history we all know it. This week our inept leader suggested that France "give him a break" and to "get a grip" spoken in French in the aftermath of the plans to form a new pact between the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom (AUKUS) to make new nuclear submarines excluding France.  The move to create AUKUS has created tension between France, the UK, and the US. and Boris Johnson isn't helping matters with his painfully embarrassing gaffes. We are at a fragile cross roads in the wor...
