Christ saw the first 3 words pop up and wondered if I'd missed something!

Next time he's on TV ask him if he thinks Marcus Rashford or Bukayo Saka are not British, or Ian Wright, Idris Elba, Frank Bruno, Adil Ray, Kemi Badenoch.. no doubt the weasel will squirm answering that.

He needs to be embarrassed and to be made to look like the cowardly twat he is.

It's strange that people like Wayne Couzens, Thomas Cashman, Scarlett Jenkinson & Eddie Ratcliffe, Benjamin Atkins, Kyle Clifford, David Carrick, David Wilson, all recently convicted murders/rapists, never have their nationality or culture put forward as the sole, motivating factor in their crimes.

The problem with Starmer going is that the Labour NEC will just shithouse their preferred RW candidate into position anyway, with the same stale policies and you can guarantee they will go down with the electorate like a cup of cold sick and be polling at Starmer/Truss levels within 3 months.

..."also it really doesn't even bother me anyway"

The US/Western rationale was always bizarrely misguided, the fact Russia had invaded, was bombing cities, firing missiles at infrastructure, massacring civilians and somehow ATACMS for UKR would be an escalation for a fkin nuclear war.. shameful.

The West let Putin dictate the terms of war.

Trump's treatment of US & non-US citizens at the border and on the streets will be the defining factor for the vast majority.

If you make your country a nasty, insular and hostile place to foreigners then it's no surprise they take the hint. Who wants to be subject to a constant stream of bile and abuse on their character by politicians and the media who treat anyone coming here like a disease.

GB News: "Man given community service for sending text message"

Joe Biden was also far braver and more progressive than Starmer on investment and economic policy and didn't try to court MAGA racists. Labour have not been on that level.

He basically was undone by a global inflationary crisis which was blamed on him. Gaza was also a huge stain on his legacy.

The party would have to drastically change for me to ever go back at this point of basically being insulted and told to fuck off for 3 years.

McSweeney, Starmer, most of the cabinet gone with Blair, Mandelson & all the backroom RW sneaks nowhere near it.

Sadly it'll never happen.

Them being ruthless in preserving their own self-interest and lifestyle is nothing new. I mean Charles launched a media propaganda campaign against his own son ffs that resulted in non-stop abuse.

They've known about this for over a decade and only acted when the scrutiny got too hot to handle.

The Duke of Westminster certainly isn't paying a 50-60% tax rate of his vast earnings this year.

What's the choice then? More austerity for the masses and keep watching billionaire wealth explode, more assets hoovered up by the super rich whilst inequality deepens?

Of course because they earn a huge fkin share of the national income and own most of the assets, the very wealthy usually pay lower marginal tax rates because of the various schemes/loopholes they have available to them.

You'd expect better from him considering these pernicious falsehoods still persist that migrants can arrive here on a visa and immediately help themselves to benefits at an all-you-can-claim buffet.

Correct if I'm wrong but migrants coming on visas can't arrive in the UK and take up the job of "benefit claimant", in fact they have no recourse to public funds.

Like everything that comes from Trump, whether it's "trade" deals, "peace" deals or "tough sanctions".. it's all smoke & mirrors, propaganda, an illusion of action so a gullible and fawning media gives him the attention and headlines he craves without anything ever changing.

Anybody remember when far right fascist thugs like this used to get a hiding and ran out of town? Let's go back to that.

Literally all these bullshit trade "deals" and "peace" deals are just illusions, pure propaganda so the orange man baby can have his headlines and get fluffed by a complicit media.

We only need to look at towns around Britain, who've experienced zero to slim immigration in the past 20 years, most with declining & older populations.

Are they booming bcos of it? Wages sky-rocketing? Top class local services? No, many have the worst deprivation & poverty in the country.

Yes, but that'll be left to other parties though that aren't trying to emulate Reform.

The Jewish Chronicle is a rabid protector of the Israeli Govt first and a collective concern for all Jewish people comes a long way down the list after that.

This is still the political & media classes idea of the working class British voter.

Blue Labour Brain. Just getting every single call wrong, at every turn, all the time.

Insulting someone's appearance when you look like Gove after a year on the pies is quite the choice.

Boomers being radicalised by Facebook is a hugely overlooked subject.

Do we have any chance in the foreseeable future of seeing a decoupling of our renewable energy prices from our gas prices and doing away with this outdated marginal pricing scheme?

Peston absolutely disgraced himself last night on his show asking is it "racism or realism" to be driven furiously mad by black & brown faces on TV.

This from a man just last week who suggested not wanting racist, violent Israeli thugs at a football match was anti-semitic.

She has no idea how to read the room or play it smart and that's why she makes a poor leader because she just can't help herself sometimes with throwing out moronic takes for attention that undermine her.
