The Mail. TOP TORY'S FEARS FOR DAUGHTERS OVER BOAT MIGRANTS (I’m not transcribing the article… he talks about importing ‘medieval attitudes’ into our communities)

A total disgrace of a paper.
A total disgrace of a man.

I would worry for Jenrick’s daughters too, being brought up by a hate-mongering opportunist, driven mad by Tory failure and now desperate to whip up prejudice, division and social unrest in his vile pursuit of power.

Anyway - happy to chat. I have a long train ride tomorrow so need to get to my pit. cheers.

I accept that Reform right now are leading in the polls. What I struggle to conflate that with is how ~65%+ of leave voters regret that choice (and would accept FM). Most Rfm supporters apparently regret the leave vote. Don't get it.

Of course they didn't. I wanted to get rid of the Tories. Labour was the sensible vote in my area. Labour weren't campaigning on rejoin. Calculated punt. FPTP. Refer to my earlier comment. Who knows what'll happen in 4 years.

Here you go patronizing again. I'm well aware immigration is not just a UK issue. I'm in Italy now as it happens. I hear it. I don't know what axe you're grinding - at some point one party is going to have to dip it's toe into the rejoin CU/SM/EU pool - that is inevitable. That's all I'm saying.

I think "voters" have been bamboozled (Sagan) with a massive red herring in the guise of "immigration". I think Brussels knows that. Bxl can play the long game. UK, on the other hand, has an existential 4-5% hole in it's GDP that can be plugged easily. The bamboozle can only go on so long. I hope.

I hear you. My goodness I hear you. If only it was that simple given our FPTP system. More people voted for remain parties in 2019 aka "the Brexit exection". How did that work out?

Happy for you EU citizen. My EU citizenship was robbed from me. Very very unhappy about that.

I realise it's not a simple "can I join?", "yes". Of course that's not how it works. My point was that, at some point "a" party has to kick that conversation up a notch, IE make meaningful steps to actually joining SM/CU, EU, whatever, whichever.

whatever... you keep beating your little drum... as I said.. we will see.

Oh give over Miss Anonymous. It's a matter of time. You know it and (most) every batshit crazy brexiter knows it. Tick tock. Not saying it'll happen next GE.. but it will.

You don't need to patronize me. Four years is a long time. We will see. My bet is that Farage's army will fizzle out.

This knife-edge Starmer is walking won't last long. It is inevitable we will be back in the EU in some form or fashion before too long. I disagree the voter is ok about Brexit, polls would absolutely dictate otherwise. Which party will lead us back in?

Good, but if you want the UK to rejoin the EU, add your name to this petition bsky.app/profile/jami...

Did someone mention super injunctions…

What's the story with Charlotte Kathryn Tranter Owen, Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge?

BREXIT CAUSED THIS.
Not one of you mentioned this
AAARFGHHRHHRH

No idea!

Worth mentioning also, the UK can't just unilaterally "end" the GFA. The USA and EU would have to agree. Leaving the ECHR is utter fantasy.

Worry not.....archive has it :)

I've not seen it first hand but I'd be sure the current UC system is flexible enough to handle this. Unless it was written by Fujitsu.

Speaking more broadly though, I'm sure that with the myriad benefits and whatnot that people receive because of this and that, an extra benefit called WFP going to those that need it wouldn't be a stretch.

I'm an IT guy. If the problem is that they're not linked then the answer would simply be then to link them. And yes I realise "simply" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I too agree with the Gordster and would probably advocate those on the middle tax tier should also not receive WFP. My Q to you though is .. what constraint do you think might this be?

Right there.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

All of this...

Well done Labour

Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.

Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.

People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.

You’ve managed to turn off everyone.

Quite the achievement!
