Will pretty much follow anyone who talks about Politics, social policy, Radiohead, Everton, economics, FPL or food. In no particular order.

Em dash is such a giveaway

my god I need to wake up Friday morning to the news that Matt Goodwin is not an MP, I can't bring myself to feel strongly about who wins but I really, really need him to lose

Disagree. Voter suppression is the biggest concern, followed by outright fraud as there’s just no way this regime is going to allow itself to be legitimately voted out of power.

If there’s one thing people unanimously respect about Trump, it’s his commitment to research

I guess the reason for the flood of cash on Green at the bookies today was because it became clear that Goodwin was planning to speak to the voters

Heh, I now see you’ve said the same thing yourself earlier. Quite why Starmer has spent so long pandering to these morons and simultaneously pissing off his party’s actual supporters is quite a head scratcher.

It’s much simpler than that: no Labour leader will ever be accepted by the right. And if Starmer or his advisors had figured that out at any point then he might have wasted less of his time in power chasing supporters he will never get and does not need.

I long for the days when the cones hotline was the most interesting thing happening in politics. Make politics boring again!

Strongly agree. They’d have been better off picking an unknown roundabout painter with typical monosyllabic thoughts on immigration than this supposed intellectual who loves the sound of his own voice and will dig his own hole.

I suspect this seat is more likely to go Reform.. unless Zach steps up and contests the seat himself

It’s pretty alarming to consider how stupid and wrong Amanda’s reasoning was!

When the crazy welsh woman revealed she was a traitor it was ROCK SOLID PROOF that Rachel was also a traitor. Why would someone who knows for a fact who all the traitors are go all in on someone who is a faithful?? Not a single word about that at any point!

Seems very likely that if Burnham doesn’t stand the seat will go Green. If he does, and Polanski stands against him.. we get some great entertainment but Gorton prob gets a Reform MP.

I absolutely LOVE proof reading my daughter’s essays. It’s absolutely win-win, a benefit to her and a joy for me!

I mean, Musk ought very clearly to be #1 but Grok’s programming wouldn’t allow a negative comment about him.
