The former president's post marked a change from his previous remarks about climate change.
Labour keeps nobly insisting that it won’t raise taxes for “working people”. Call me a pessimist, but I can’t help feeling this is a promise that won’t be kept.
‘Good-morning, good-morning!’ the General said When we met him last week on our way to the line ... “He’s a cheery old card,” grunted Harry to Jack As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.
Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour team enjoy warm cuddly feelings about the European Union. Although Starmer has ruled out returning to the customs union or the EU’s single market, Labour says that it will improve the UK’s relationship with the EU by negotiating a veterinary agreement to reduce border checks and seeking mutual recognition agreements allowing touring artists and professionals to export their services to the EU.
