Is it nerdy to admit I understand every word of this post?

Please don't confuse the argument with facts!

What are the lessons from how Australia and Canada firmly rejected the Trumpist candidates, yet here in the UK we seem to be drinking the Kool-Aid and voting in swathes of right-wing Trump imitators in the guise of Reform UK?

Why?

Unbelievable. What will it take for the MAGA crowd to wake up and start pushing back?

Clueless. They don't know that there is "waste" but they're going to open up applications (to pay people)

What's the odds they end up spending more than they save?

04.05.2025 13:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 27    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My fear is that they'll take exactly the wrong message from this and decide to try and ape Reform UK's talking points.

I think it's an improvement, to be fair

They got what they voted for...

His policy on the Abolition of the House of Lords will be defined by whether he is in it!

They'd STILL vote for Trump though...

He spouts nonsense, but NEVER apologises when he's shown to be peddling tripe!

Will you all please stop trying to improve on this joke. You are only making it more laboured

Well, we always hope...

Less buying stuff we don't need would be a step forward

I don't know how that's not illegal. Or do they simply not care about such things anymore?

Michael, out of interest, what do you think about Mark Carney? I only know him from his time at the Bank of England here in the UK. Did a decent job, but I don't know if that translates to him being a good politician.

Of course she did

Never said a word when Sunak was talking about Net Zero by 2030 - but now there's funding coming from a think-tank, she's done a total about turn.

Total moral vacuum

I don't understand how the inflation figures are around 2% (give or take) Every time we go to the Supermarket, it feels like lots of items have gone up by MUCH more than that!

Donโ€™t hold back, tell us what you really think lol

FWIW I agree with you ๐Ÿ‘

And remember: THEY WANT TO HURT YOU. Musk, Trump, Vought....they all said this in public. They want you to suffer, be traumatized, and experience shock.

Your life is a game to them.

Donald Trump has never and will never be your friend.
