because nobody else seems to be saying what he is saying with such gusto. I'm probably more aligned to Ed Davey but Zack is pretty inescapable at the moment. Definitely the anti-Farridge 2/2

The way you put it here Alex, is pretty much how Lewis Goodall put it to Zack in an interview I listened to yesterday. Left-wing populism is how he described it. If the definition of populism is saying whatever it will take to get you elected then that's bad. However, I feel drawn to Zack 1/2

"No probs!"
"How are you spelling 'her'?"

"Absolutely!"

@SEPeaceMissions
I would like to acknowledge the vital role of the United Kingdom in assisting and coordinating efforts that have led us to this historic day in Israel. In particular, I want to recognize the incredible input and tireless efforts of National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell.

If you vote Reform you will be voting against womenโ€™s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isnโ€™t enough)

When it comes to fixing Brexit progress delayed is progress undone By Naomi Smith

Starmer is not a vibes politician. Unlike Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson, he does not thrive on bombast, misdirection, or indeed, charisma. His political case rests on showing tangible improvements in peopleโ€™s lives. So he needs to hurry up.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

Please know that there isnโ€™t a shred of scientific evidence suggesting Covid vaccines cause cancer.

Please disregard this manโ€™s rubbish - he doesnโ€™t work for the NHS & why the GMC hasnโ€™t struck him off long ago baffles innumerable NHS doctors like me. 2/4
