While risking the wrath of her fans, I'll say you're not missing much.

Listening to Trump is like listening to your rambling old grandad talk about the good old days and all of his friends and achievements, even though all you asked was "How are you grandad?"

I think I've lost brain cells just listening to President Trump address the Israeli Parliament.

We need a press which is fully owned by British people who live, work and pay all their taxes in this country before we get anywhere near a press that'll do that πŸ˜….

I'm pretty sure this is from the video of Taylor Swift's song 'Bad Blood'.

Being cruel allows her to earn more money in the media than being kind.

How much of the British media is owned by British people who aren't in the pocket of someone dodgy?

Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social show on LBC and good god this Israeli Parliament sucking up to Trump is hard to listen to.

Showering him with praise, making out he's absolutely amazing. It's awful and I hope the history books look back shamefully on this Israeli Government.

Farage calls him a bad apple, but the apple never falls far from the tree right?

Can we just make up an award and say it's so rare no one has ever won it before? And he can only get it if he releases the Epstein files.

Maybe call it the Bonel Prize.

I'm at a strange moment in my political life where I'd like to enter politics, but who for?

I've predominantly been a Lib Dem and would love to shift them more to the left. But the Greens and @zackpolanski.bsky.social are doing such a good job now and are more left leaning that they are tempting.

We need to start saying if they want to make money from this great country, then when times are tough, they need to help pay more to this great country. Ramp up patriotism without the racism.

The messaging needs to be more focused on the fact that these people would barely notice a difference to their lives if they paid a little more in tax.

Whereas the majority of us would struggle significantly more, even with a small tax increase.

Thank you very much for that, I shall check it out.

Thank you very much for that Zack, I'll be taking a look at that today.

From what I've seen so far, your messaging is so good at questioning the current narrative being peddled in this country.

I was very impressed with you on last night's question time.

I'd love to see a long interview with you where you're able to explain why you'd do things without being constantly interrupted by a Reform Party multi-millionaire who doesn't want your opinions aired.

On top of that, an economy works so much better when people have money to spend. More companies can open and grow as a result.

Having money and assets hoarded amongst a tiny minority just means it doesn't come back into society, leaving the rest of us poorer as a result.

If they want to leave, let them, but if they don't respect this country, then maybe they don't need to own British assets anymore?

We need to get tough on them, not to a ridiculous level, but these are people who wouldn't notice a small tax increase, where the rest of us would.

I found it interesting that Zia Yusuf was criticising the Conservative Party, the same one he was a member of and donated to.

He's full of πŸ’©, just like the whole of the Reform Party. They're the establishment making out they're not the establishment.

Conservative councillors defecting to the Reform UK Party.

Conservative councillors defecting to the Reform UK Party.

If you thought that the Tories' 14 years in power was painful, voting Reform will be no better.

In fact it'll be worse as it's all the incompetent ones defecting.

Also, why have they put the negative in their Tory blue colour? Surely you put it in Labour red to associate 'Britain loses' with Labour.

Very true. Sell off anything and everything to their mates to reduce the size of the state.

Unfortunately for us that means services get worse and more expensive and limits the government from making any sort of money other than via tax...a lot like now. And makes it harder to turn back.

David Bull - previously a Tory party member who has been a candidate for the Brighton Pavilion seat.

Zia Yusuf - former Tory party member.

Add to this that Nigel Farage has worked as some of the least trustworthy jobs - banker, journalist, and politician, the question remains...why trust him?

Reform like people to think they're against the current establishment, but they are a part of it.

Nigel Farage - former Tory party member.

Lee Anderson - former Tory MP who was part of the last shambolic government.

Richard Tice - long-term member and donor of the Tory party until 2019

Some of the media have helped to put a man who doesn't play by the rules into the White House. Now they're afraid of what he might do to them if they dissent.

Hopefully they'll learn not to be so reckless in future.

It's incredible that in today's world, there are some people who think we cannot hold two opinions at the same time.

For example, I condemn the attack which took place yesterday on the Synagogue in Manchester.

I also condemn the Israeli government for continuing its brutal attack on Palestine.

He's due in court on the 13th & 14th October, hopefully he'll be locked back away for the good of society.
