    I found the booing, very disrespectful the same with Baldwin on Saturday
    If people are so unhappy with our Labour leadership, let’s vote them out
    They are actually in power with only about 1 in every 3 voters actually backing them
    Voter apathy as much to blame
    This city needs a change in leadership, unfortunately I can’t see it happening

    I wasn't there so can't comment on booing. But she is part of a political party that has risen council tax by 9.99% higher than the majority of the country in a poor area and a cost of living crisis. Save your sympathy for those her party are helping put in poverty.

    Totally agree. My late mum was headteacher at Midland Road Nursery School for several years, and she used to tell us how, when she asked Asian parents whereabouts in Bradford they lived, they'd always reply "BD8", "BD9" etc.

    Erm where did I mention the council's finances? I clearly mentioned the extra people the council tax rise will put into poverty, pal.

    The council tax rise instigated by the Labour council is pretty factual I'd have thought given how well publicised it's been?

    Feel free to educate me if I'm wrong though?

    @Moderating I apologise for what this thread is becoming, if you can just stop the posters nonsense I'll say no more on what should be a positive thread.

    My spiritual home Shipley. Used them bogs many times over the years. Note in the background the iconic brutalist town hall clock, there was a record shop at the bottom of it in the market we used to go when we were kids.

    They must have misheard when you said "I'd give it 10 minutes if I were you"

    You kept that very quiet.

    I always thought you were ok up to now.

    Can’t take anything you say seriously now.
