I'm not sure Labour will ever learn that you can't out racist Farage and even if you did Reform supporters aren't going to vote for you regardless.

There’s no better sign of how unqualified large parts of the UK press are for their jobs than them trying to fit an illegal regional war in the Middle East into their usual set up of political gossip & framing being the only things that matter

I didn’t vote Labour in the last election, I will be in the next. Starmer just made history, the first PM to stand up to the US.

Support for war with Iran is at less than 10%.

Only about 24% of Reform supporters support it, everyone else is basically at 0%
At the same time ShitRag Telegraph:

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying Β£5 daily congestion charge

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying Β£5 daily congestion charge

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."

I’m really not following the logic of moving to Dubai because you are furious that there are too many Muslims in London.

I suppose flying flags is more important than fixing potholes for Reform.

Good grief. I’m not sure she’s thought this through. Unless, of course, she actively *wants* allies & enemies to believe that she would happily order the British military to commit war crimes.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Please read this thread as a 'micro-example' of what is going so wrong with the English court system - and note the 'butterfly' effect point.

Our court system is so rackety and improvised, one slip and so many other things will go wrong.

But Trump is putting the West in an impossible position. Of course there will be anger over another US war in the ME. But there would be anger too if we could have helped stop our allies getting killed in the blowback & didn't. There are no winners in a world where Trump makes the rules.

Urrrghhh Bahrain and Dubai expats (AKA tax dodgers) now demanding UK help to come 'home'.

Apart from the fact these countries are ethically dodgy as f*ck, you made your tax free bed folks.

Time to lie in it.

Wondering if Rio Ferdinand still thinks moving to Dubai because it's safer than the UK was a good idea.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
