No, they are politicians. I don't trust any of them (from any party) to do anything that is not self-serving.

Is this where you provide 650 examples of MP's being self-serving?

Or is it just a broad brush way of saying 'I don't agree with things that are done'?

No, I don't trust Labour. Starmer’s team is a weak Blairite tribute act and Starmer himself is a rather empty vessel. He twice tried to get Corbyn elected and now prefers you forget this.

Starmer is as convincing as anyone when talking about the problems of the nation and how much he wants to put them right. But, when he talks about what a Labour government would actually do, he sounds like he is still in the dark, clutching at any passing bandwagon.

He's 20 years older than Rishi who's now making tremendous progress on the the protocol, halving inflation, maintaining record employment etc. We need this kind of energy, a man approaching 61 should be putting his feet up, not putting the boot in on Corbyn. As much as I dislike Jezza, Starmer's banning of a true leftist is alarming. How can you trust Starmer when he was giving Jezza full throated support pre-Covid?

Why are you using the thumbs-up symbol like a full stop or question mark?

Rishi has not ditched Johnson's policies on anything like the scale Starmer has with Corbyn. Neither has he banned him from the party. He's providing grown-up leadership. That must be true because you said so elsewhere on here!

What do we mean by trust?

We all have different views of what is in the countries interests.

That's not really a trust thing tho.

There's a trust that they will try and deliver what they have promised and not pivot once on power.

I generally trust parties on both sides to do that (the exception is current HMG).

Then there's trust the leadership to make good, or at least considered decisions. Imo yes for all PMs up to (but not including) boris. Maybe not May but here situation was unusual. Not BJ, truss, or sunak. Yes to starmer. No to cobyn (imo not anti Semitic bit of not deal with the issue and possibly put party before what is right)

Finally there's trust the individuals. Normally, probably about equal. This HMG are a level below.

After what happened to David Amess, I think this is very, very bad taste, dangerous even. I find it distasteful.

I’ll let others be the judge of how it comes across.

Trust in politics is relative , do you 100% trust the Labour Party? No

Do I trust them more than I trust the Tory party ? Yes

Deflection.

Anyway, how can you trust Sunak who was chancellor and now PM of a party who is in charge when

Inflation is at a 40 year high

Living standards are at a 40 year low

I can't see the Tories winning the next GE either but when it comes to Labour I would say 'hope' is the word I would use. I hope they will be better and hope they make a good job of running the country. I won't actually trust them until they have demonstrated that they can do those things.

They can both be problematic. Bernie Eccleston gave Labour £1m to exempt motor racing from the tobacco advertising ban, so with Labour you risk getting it both ways. At least with the Tories, there's very little risk of them taking money from the union barons

So you can't answer then essentially. I'll tell you, trade union funding in politics is more scrutinised than any other funding and hence is 100% transparent.

So, a hypothetical union representing all, say teachers, giving money to the Labour Party to push for policies that benefit all teachers (not just union members) you see as equally bad as say, businesses with financial links to the governing party receiving government contracts? Really?

The contemporary parties are rather tarred with the normalisation of lies and deceit that have been imposed on politics by the party leading for 13 years, including its leaders. Such dishonesty has seriously damaged democracy here, disenfranchising many voters. I find the concept of trust in such a party to be as alien as trusting Putin with the wellbeing of all Ukrainians.

I think most other parties have substantial trustworthiness compared with the standards these have trashed government to.

Starmer will be viewed in a positive way by other politicians across the globe. The EU will see a rational leader willing to negotiate like an adult rather than one throwing toys out of the pram. That gives me hope that the country can move forward.

I trust Labour to try to deliver the policies that they say they will and try to take the country in the direction that they want to.

If they manage to or not is another matter.

I will probably pay more tax, but if it improves the situation for the country overall then fine, because ultimately I will benefit. Some people take a different view.

I certainly do not trust the current Government based on twelve years demonstrated performance.

Genuine question, do you think Trade Union money in politics is more or less transparent than a/ money from businesses b/ money from private individuals?

They can both be problematic. Bernie Eccleston gave Labour £1m to exempt motor racing from the tobacco advertising ban, so with Labour you risk getting it both ways. At least with the Tories, there's very little risk of them taking money from the union barons

So you can't answer then essentially. I'll tell you, trade union funding in politics is more scrutinised than any other funding and hence is 100% transparent.

So, a hypothetical union representing all, say teachers, giving money to the Labour Party to push for policies that benefit all teachers (not just union members) you see as equally bad as say, businesses with financial links to the governing party receiving government contracts? Really?

I don't think I said any of that. I gave my answer and just because it's not to your liking, there's no need to put words in my mouth. "

I asked you which was more transparent and you refused to answer. I'll give you a clue, increased transparency is good.

You pivoted to suggest that Labour were worse than the Conservatives because Labour took both business and trade union funding.

I illustrated why I believe trade union funding for Labour is less bad than private funding for the Conservatives.

But let's assume you did answer the question, can I ask if you would support businesses being required to ballot their shareholders before donating to a political party and individual donations over £1 being published and being banned from non UK citizens?

Nonsense in what way?

Ideally I'd prefer all political parties to receive state funding and not be able to take payments from any source . But until that's the case the transparency of political donations is important.

Evidence? Because it is. Trade Unions have to ask every single one of their members if they wish to make a political donation. They have to declare it in their accounts and the recipient (usually the Labour Party) has to declare receipt. It is completely transparent.

https://labourunions.org.uk/what-is-a-political-fund/

Not a single one of those examples is related to a trade union though is it? Remember, your argument was that unions funding Labour was the issue.

But again, out of all those things you listed, do you really believe the total is greater or less than what we currently know re PPE procurement?

Just be honest, simply say you don't want a Labour government rather than tilting at random windmills.

How does making public sector employees poorer reduce inflation when there is no constraint on supply?

Explain the mechanism by which public sector pay increases the cost of goods and services. What prices go up as a result?

What is "absurd" about public sector workers receiving the same pay increases as the private sector or, heaven forbid, receive real terms pay levels equivalent to a decade ago?

Still, I'd hope he brings us back towards the middle and that for me is a winner

Nonsense in what way?

Ideally I'd prefer all political parties to receive state funding and not be able to take payments from any source . But until that's the case the transparency of political donations is important."

What is nonsense? That Starmer is cosying up to business?

You should do a little research if you think that statement is nonsense.

"No, I don't trust Labour. Starmer’s team is a weak Blairite tribute act and Starmer himself is a rather empty vessel. He twice tried to get Corbyn elected and now prefers you forget this.

Starmer is as convincing as anyone when talking about the problems of the nation and how much he wants to put them right. But, when he talks about what a Labour government would actually do, he sounds like he is still in the dark, clutching at any passing bandwagon.

He's 20 years older than Rishi who's now making tremendous progress on the the protocol, halving inflation, maintaining record employment etc. We need this kind of energy, a man approaching 61 should be putting his feet up, not putting the boot in on Corbyn. As much as I dislike Jezza, Starmer's banning of a true leftist is alarming. How can you trust Starmer when he was giving Jezza full throated support pre-Covid?

Cheshire what has Sunak done precisely that is “halving inflation”? Apart from that not being true, I am keen to understand what actions he has taken?

It's about having a responsible economic policy when it comes to things like pay, when it comes to areas like borrowing....

Starmer would stoke inflation agreeing to all manner of absurd pay demands from his union paymasters

That would be the unions that aren't affiliated to the Labour Party would it?

Genuine question, do you think Trade Union money in politics is more or less transparent than a/ money from businesses b/ money from private individuals?

They can both be problematic. Bernie Eccleston gave Labour £1m to exempt motor racing from the tobacco advertising ban, so with Labour you risk getting it both ways. At least with the Tories, there's very little risk of them taking money from the union barons

So you can't answer then essentially. I'll tell you, trade union funding in politics is more scrutinised than any other funding and hence is 100% transparent.

So, a hypothetical union representing all, say teachers, giving money to the Labour Party to push for policies that benefit all teachers (not just union members) you see as equally bad as say, businesses with financial links to the governing party receiving government contracts? Really?

I don't think I said any of that. I gave my answer and just because it's not to your liking, there's no need to put words in my mouth.

I asked you which was more transparent and you refused to answer. I'll give you a clue, increased transparency is good.

You pivoted to suggest that Labour were worse than the Conservatives because Labour took both business and trade union funding.

I illustrated why I believe trade union funding for Labour is less bad than private funding for the Conservatives.

But let's assume you did answer the question, can I ask if you would support businesses being required to ballot their shareholders before donating to a political party and individual donations over £1 being published and being banned from non UK citizens?

What evidence do you have that 'trade union funding in politics is more scrutinised than any other funding and hence is 100% transparent'?

If the last Labour government is anything to go by, we will have sleaze on an industrial scale again, such as Peter Mandelson's Mortgages; David Blunkett and Nannygate; Bernie Ecclestone's £1m Donation; Loans for Lordships; Lord Irvine's Wallpaper; Margaret Beckett's Air Miles; Cherie Blair's Freebie Holidays - Tessa Jowell's Mortgages; The Dodgy Dossier; Stephen Byers - Jo Moore Burying Bad News; Derek Draper and Lobbygate; Cherie Blair Signing the Hutton Report; Gordon Brown and the Smith Institute; Cherie Blair's 'lecture' tours;

No Tory will take lectures on sleaze from the left! "

So are you saying that because a Labour Government last in power almost 13 years ago and populated by a different set of Ministers/MPs (I think all those listed are no longer in the Party right) that it is inevitable the current lot will be just the same?

Are you saying that is evidence they will be as bad or worse than our current Government?

Are you saying the level of scandal, frequency of scandal, and monetary value of the scandals will be equivalent with the last three years?

I am not saying a Labour Govt will be scandal free. It is inevitable. But surely nothing can be as brazen or of such scale as the last few years?

"In fact why would anyone vote Labour anyways. They seem to have a woman problem until recently and they're the least diverse party in the house of commons at the moment

Labours shadow cabinet

16 women

15 men

You’re making a fool of yourself Read my comment again, I said until recently not currently"

So labour no longer have a ‘women problem ’ ? Btw, there are 65 MPs from ethnic minority backgrounds, 41 are labour

"Trade Unions have to ask every single one of their members if they wish to make a political donation.

In my experience they don't ask their members, they just assume. Trying to get your name removed from the list of political donors is nigh on impossible."

Then the trade union you are/were in are acting illegally. Feel free to report them to the Certification Officer. I can get you their details if you like?

"I can't see the Tories winning the next election, but it comes down to trust in the opposition.

Do you trust Labour?"

Comical answers on this thread considering that the current Government is probably the most corrupt, self-serving and incompetent inhabitants that Whitehall has ever seen.

What is there not to trust about a man who is an evident highly motivated achieve. He took himself from a state school background to the highest legal position in the country and developed a CPS team unrivalled before and since AND was knighted for his efforts.

What is there to trust when nothing in this country has got any better after 13 years of ineffective, wasteful and incompetent Conservative Government? Even by the worst possible comparable denomination - what have we got to lose? It can’t be any worse under a Starmer Government.

I'm happy to argue that. I framed it that way in response to the poster suggesting that Starmer was controlled by Union Barons.

I'd be happy to ban any external funding for parties and have it all centrally funded.

Wrong question OP, you should be asking why would anyone with a brain cell ever trust a Tory?

I mean c’mon, you wouldn’t kiss a Tory would ya? Why would you ever trust a Tory again with your schools, your NHS, your economy, your pensions, your kids future, your food safety standards, your justice system, your standards in public life, your country’s reputation and standing on the world stage? There is literal shit flowing freely in some of the most beautiful stretches of water and you can’t see that as a metaphor for how the Tories have ruined this country?

I feel the deepest sympathy for whoever forms the next government because I know if there’s anything left of this country by the next election, the Tories will have done their best to destroy it or steal it.

Lying, stealing, corrupt, smooth-talking, genuinely evil little fuckers.

But yeah, apart from that, yeah I would trust Labour.

I understand why you would for relationships.

But do swingers really care when the blood has rushed to the little brain?

"Wrong question OP, you should be asking why would anyone with a brain cell ever trust a Tory?

I mean c’mon, you wouldn’t kiss a Tory would ya? Why would you ever trust a Tory again with your schools, your NHS, your economy, your pensions, your kids future, your food safety standards, your justice system, your standards in public life, your country’s reputation and standing on the world stage? There is literal shit flowing freely in some of the most beautiful stretches of water and you can’t see that as a metaphor for how the Tories have ruined this country?

I feel the deepest sympathy for whoever forms the next government because I know if there’s anything left of this country by the next election, the Tories will have done their best to destroy it or steal it.

Lying, stealing, corrupt, smooth-talking, genuinely evil little fuckers.

But yeah, apart from that, yeah I would trust Labour.

Total tangent alert here but...do people really decide on their sexual partners based on their politics?

I understand why you would for relationships.

But do swingers really care when the blood has rushed to the little brain?

If you were a staunch Labour supporter and the very hottest person on Fab wanted to shag you, would you say no if they were a staunch Tory? Really?"

We’ve only ever seen profiles with a political reference going one way “ We don’t fuck tories “ for example

I’m yet to see a profile stating “ we don’t fuck socialists / communists “

Me personally have never got into or stayed in a relationship because of a partners political view

"I would trust labour to run a village fair "

Better than the Tories then. If the Tories were running a village fair, they'd give all the money to their mates then blame another village for the failure of the fair.

They cannot win elections so maybe a village fair is maybe where Labour should set their sights

I'm not particularly a fan of Labour - or any party - but a glance at history shows they have won elections before. More than once, actually.

Who do you think will win the next election here?

Ah but FAB is not the real world. It is like The Matrix with a whole other layer of rules.

Seems like if you are a single male Tory voter who is straight then you got no chance being fucked. The bi ones should do ok as men are less fussy (especially if blood is flowing to the little brain).

But a very hot single female who openly claimed Adolf Hitler was her hero would still get a tonne of action.

That’s a joke folks!

Oh Fabsy, those pesky tories have got right under your skin

Looking at the the Lib Dem wins, (as you mentioned them earlier and appear to have a soft spot for the underdog), I think a move to Westmorland could do you wonders.

You might get laid and there is a definite lack of tories there

I can see a new election slogan coming along.

Nope, what do all the other parties have in common? They all hate the tories

Oh Fabsy, those pesky tories have got right under your skin

Looking at the the Lib Dem wins, (as you mentioned them earlier and appear to have a soft spot for the underdog), I think a move to Westmorland could do you wonders.

You might get laid and there is a definite lack of tories there "

No need, I love living in greater Manchester, we have a fantastic mayor and some great local MPs, I don’t hate the tories, but they are not popular around here

Trust Labour?

Ha ha ha ha ha

Not on your nellie.

They only know two words when it comes to the economy. Tax and Spend, and every time they've been in office they've left the country on the verge of bankruptcy and unemployment higher than when they took office.

"Wrong question OP, you should be asking why would anyone with a brain cell ever trust a Tory?

I mean c’mon, you wouldn’t kiss a Tory would ya? Why would you ever trust a Tory again with your schools, your NHS, your economy, your pensions, your kids future, your food safety standards, your justice system, your standards in public life, your country’s reputation and standing on the world stage? There is literal shit flowing freely in some of the most beautiful stretches of water and you can’t see that as a metaphor for how the Tories have ruined this country?

I feel the deepest sympathy for whoever forms the next government because I know if there’s anything left of this country by the next election, the Tories will have done their best to destroy it or steal it.

Lying, stealing, corrupt, smooth-talking, genuinely evil little fuckers.

But yeah, apart from that, yeah I would trust Labour.

Total tangent alert here but...do people really decide on their sexual partners based on their politics?

I understand why you would for relationships.

But do swingers really care when the blood has rushed to the little brain?

If you were a staunch Labour supporter and the very hottest person on Fab wanted to shag you, would you say no if they were a staunch Tory? Really?

We’ve only ever seen profiles with a political reference going one way “ We don’t fuck tories “ for example

I’m yet to see a profile stating “ we don’t fuck socialists / communists “

Me personally have never got into or stayed in a relationship because of a partners political view

“We don’t fuck Tories” is that a form of cancel culture?

Not seeing profiles saying “we don’t fuck socialists/communists” might be because they are already being shafted

I thought labour voters would be all about equal opportunities, I'm shocked they are proving to be so selective. I bet there is an"ism" for this, I just haven't heard of it.

torism, leanism, selectism someone will come along and tell me I'm sure "

They would definitely be labour voters

We have had 13 years of Tory governments,

Inflation at a 40 year high

Living standards are at a 40 year low

Millions on strike

If you’re a Tory (my sympathies) and you’re getting all hot n bothered about “cancel” culture and omg no one wants to shag me cos I’m a c**t, you are kinda missing the point.

It’s not because you’re a Tory exactly that I would find you repulsive but rather what you represent and what you stand for. I could compile a list but that would really really annoy me all over again.

Anyway, it’s a well known fact that all the hottest people who have ever lived have all been socialists and anti-fascists. Without exception, before you all come at me with Maggie Thatchers ankles and cringey stuff like that.

Maybe the title of this thread should have been: do you trust any party?

I'd bet most people would answer: no.

Politicians have had a bad rep for a long time. Sometimes deservedly so. But Johnson's relentless lying & trashing of standards/rules/morals has dragged the reputation of politics in this country into the sewer.

I suspect distrust & contempt for politics in this country will be Johnson's real legacy for many years to come.

This.

People make it out like Johnson was the worst. In a way he wasn't the worst, because at least he openly went about it and didn't try to act like he was a saint or some sort of "gentleman" politician/statesman.

If people want to talk about who's really ruined the reputation of politics as a whole in the UK, look no further than the Lib Dems with Nick Clegg, Tim Farron and Jo Swinson. Nobody has done more than them in putting a stake through the idea of nonpartisan coalition/consensus politics as a desirable thing for British society.

No the only thing this current governments going for them is during the last three years of the scamdemic Commissar Corbyn was not in charge, for sure people like me would be in a concentration camp. Give me a government who doesn't care than a bunch of commie wankers who knows whats best for you and see's you get it, whether its good for you or not any day. Also lets not forget Keir Stalin let Jimmy Saville and the r@pe gangs run riot while heading the CPS.

Ah yes….why let a few facts get in the way of spouting that old bollocks about Saville. It’s a lie and you should know better than to keep peddling that old crap. Keir may be a bit boring but at least he’s not a crook…unlike so many Tory MPs and Lords

"If you’re a Tory (my sympathies) and you’re getting all hot n bothered about “cancel” culture and omg no one wants to shag me cos I’m a c**t, you are kinda missing the point.

It’s not because you’re a Tory exactly that I would find you repulsive but rather what you represent and what you stand for. I could compile a list but that would really really annoy me all over again.

Anyway, it’s a well known fact that all the hottest people who have ever lived have all been socialists and anti-fascists. Without exception, before you all come at me with Maggie Thatchers ankles and cringey stuff like that.

Vice la revolution and all that shit.

Tory scum out.

OMG I think I am in love with you "

Hah x I do have that effect on the nicest of men x but thank you, lovely compliment xx

For a man who voted to remain in the EU, who also wanted a second referendum after the first vote to then say he make Brexit work to then say he build a closer relationship with the EU, I don't know sounds indecisive to me why Sir Keir can't be trusted too

He knew full well what was going on and ignored it so he’s a criminal, silence implies consent in English law. Also all those politicians who scammed the country whether it’s by fraud or covid hoax should lose everything. Including the Rothschilds, that’ll solve the National Debt

Why is that indecisive?

Voting against Brexit is perfectly reasonable.

Having a bite to decide if the Brexit deal was any good also seems perfectly reasonable considering how it has turned out.

Trying to make Brexit work because we have no choice also seems reasonable.

Having a closer relationship with the EU is hardly crazy considering the number of times I heard Brexiteers saying that we would have the same trading relationship with the EU as we had before. They are also our closest wealthiest neighbours.

What do you think our policy towards the EU should be? Should we have a less close relationship with the EU? Should we move further away from it?

I’m probably echoing what others have said but here’s my opinion. I trust labour to do their best for the country in whatever their beliefs lead them to think is the best way to do that. To me that is preferable to the Tories who I have no doubt could run the country well but have chosen time and again to just use that power to benefit themselves.

What? You're saying that the ultra low tax, ultra free market plans of Truss were not what corporations and banks wanted? Can you explain why the "fiscal event" would have upset them?

How did "they" sink the markets? What was the mechanism?

So, again, how was low corporate and personal taxation going to be vause a problem for these wealthy people?

Why did they want to reduce the value of their assets in the UK and make it harder for the British government to borrow money?

Who have these people told about seeing China as their ideal economic model?

How did that information come to you?

How do these individuals "own" central bank's?

Why were they happy with how things were working for centuries and suddenly want to change it now?

I agree that BlackRock and other investment companies have been getting rich spending taxpayer quantitative easing money without any sense that a portion of any earnings should be returned.

Every government anywhere "goes for growth" but they can only do so based on the financial circumstances that they are functioning within.

The circumstances didn't allow it, therefore, incompetence.

I agree that it is pretty clear to anyone who cares to look that if the tax system functioned such that the system wasn't games by the wealthy, taxation on the rest of us would be much lower, still with better public services and everyone would be better off.

You think that the Conservative party are more likely to deliver this than one of the other parties?

Our currency is a joke, its based on nothing, an asset is an asset, they still have it. Their vision is based in the WEF vision they will own all the assets and we do as we're told, the worse things get for us the more government assistance needed, Truss went off script. You're making the assumption they give a shit about us, they'll lend using their fractional serve system but too much inflation will wake too many up they have to give an air of responsibility.

I know none of them can, frankly all public services should be controlled locally and paid for locally, so every penny is accounted for and certainly those able to should be given every encouragement to take out insurance. The standard of health care for the average person before the plandemic (worse now) was the same as 1937, did you know that most councils provided emergency treatments, people assume you died in the streets.
