Pathetic

21st century Britain
where it's illegal to project an image on a wall
but not illegal to supply weapons to mass murdering genocidal psychopaths

@mrjamesob.bsky.social your commentary in time honoured style of Sir Terry Wogan at Eurovision is much appreciated. 😂

Why the reshuffle alone won’t change the government’s fortunes "For better electoral fortunes, the government needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth."

No immigrant caused hikes in the price of energy, water, food, banking, insurance, internet; decline of manufacturing, lack of social housing; PFI; potholed roads; climate change; lack of skilled labour; crisis at universities.

Neoliberalism did that

Why is Labour not countering Reform narratives?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Starmer must call Musk out, he must declare the speech inciteful and make it clear that should Musk set foot in the UK he will be questioned by the Police.

No one was marching in the streets demanding an EU referendum! ..

@mrjamesob.bsky.social agree with your assessment of farmers inheritance tax changes .. however the changes re pension pots in 2027 is another matter completely and as the date approaches millions will realise that THIS is the THE tax raid of the century

@mrjamesob.bsky.social sorry James you (The Times) are way off base re Australian men … my daughter and SIL emigrated to WA but came back to UK to raise children due to extreme Misogyny (and racist) behaviours. It’s absolutely rife! Far worse than UK.

Rachel Reeves must raise taxes to cover £41bn gap, says think tank The chancellor will miss her self-imposed rules without action, the National Institute for Economic Affairs says.

🔥 Brexit is costing us at least £100 billion in lost trade per year
🔥 Brexit is costing us at least £40 billion in lost tax revenue per year
🔥 Being out of the Single Market is costing us 4%-6% of GDP
🔥 Stopping EU Freedom of Movement has caused massive increases in immigration from outside the EU

Who is this lunatic?

Nazi behaviour .. even a man of colour aspiring to be a Nazi … worlds gone mad.

Rainmaker in chief is not wanted on UK soil.

Except you are not going to vote on EU or EEA membership .. that won’t be allowed even though 80% would vote in favour.

Labour's Heidi Alexander gaslighting the country, suggesting the UK-EU reset, UK-India deal, and UK-US-tariff deal will somehow help economic growth

£4–5 billion: UK-US FTA
£3–4 billion: UK-India FTA
£2–6 billion: UK-EU reset
vs
£100–180 billion: Rejoining the EU Single Market

Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds YouGov survey suggests majority support idea of Britain returning to bloc – but not on same terms it once enjoyed A decade after MPs voted to hold the referendum that led to Britain leaving the European Union, a poll has found majorities in the bloc’s four largest member states would support the UK rejoining – but not on the same terms it had before. The YouGov survey of six western European countries, including the UK, also confirms that a clear majority of British voters now back the country rejoining the bloc – but only if it can keep the opt-outs it previously enjoyed.

Rather have his wife present it ..

The fundamental flaw with this Labour government is its denial of certain truths. Brexit is battering the economy, but they'll never say it. Gaza is brutal ethnic cleansing, but they'll never say it. Instead, they'll double down on defending their dishonest version of reality at all costs.

All the evidence I’ve seen says they won’t .. it’s just right wing Tory / Reform bluster .. they are making too much profit to do so and to be ‘global’ they have to be in the 5th or 6th largest global economy

I’ll tell you how ..you tax the super rich, the multinationals who offshore profits, the banks and the energy companies based on windfalls .. and also join SM CU & FoM …that’ll turn the tide of the economy to pay for vital social investments. It’s not rocket science but she and Starmer won’t do it.

She and Starmer need to tax the super rich and the multinationals who offshore their profits. And whilst at it .. join SM, CU and restore FoM then the economy will turn for the better very quickly … but they won’t of course. #disingenuous

Brexit resulted in £40bn hit to public finances - exactly as predicted Nine years on from the EU referendum, it turns out that predictions of the impact Brexit would have on the UK were pretty much spot on.

Not that the Brexiters cared what it would cost ....
