Me too, I wasn’t prepared to fund an organisation that had lost the ability to challenge politicians when they lied or distorted things

It’s all a matter of timing, in a different era Starmer might well have succeeded Ted Heath as leader of the Conservatives. It’s only the country’s drift to the right that makes Starmer look like he’s on the left.

It’s very sad. Twitter is pretty toxic but so many large organisations are only on there so it’s extremely useful at times.

“White people born in Britain commit murders and sexual assault every week. But they are not defined by this action whenever it is perpetrated.”

Can we print this out and tape it to every hard right Musk fan’s forehead?

Her apology perhaps should mean that she keeps her job - it doesn’t smack of dishonesty - but any legal sanctions that might be associated with her failure remain open to the appropriate authorities.

I don’t think most people have a grasp on just how much the highest earners earn. High earners have pulled away because their pay has grown at a much faster rate in real terms than median or poor earners so of course the proportion of tax they pay will have increased too

Last week:

-Trump pardoned Binance's founder after a $2B deal with his crypto firm
-Hegseth awards a DoD contract to a Don Jr.-backed firm

Well they might find it a bit hard, after all the party isn’t famed for in depth analysis of tricky situations and making sensible policies

I am so bitterly disappointed by Sir Keir. I appreciate that Conservatives left an utter mess behind but it doesn’t feel like he has led the country, he just seems to follow Reform.

One of the things I love about life in Spain: coffee shops that shut for their lunch when many potential customers are likely to be likely to be looking for refreshments.

I can’t wait till we start discussing compensation for the people robbed of their land rights by the various Inclosure Acts

I think President Trump should consider sacking the people who put these deeply disappointing figures together.

The many nippled Nigel??

The objection on the grounds of practicality doesn’t work. Whatever the financial cost of immigration the right wing will say it’s too much. If it turns out the be a net gain they will say it’s not enough.

Because otherwise the media might have to do their job and examine the practicality and logic to Reform proposals?

I don’t know enough about how it works here to even hazard a guess at the issues.

I don’t think Spain has a de minimus IVA threshold. I think businesses have to account for it from day 1.

I read that it was 8GB for the base model

Well I thought he said he’d bought a property in his constituency so if he didn’t fund it does that make him a liar?

Zack Polanski has been on Question Time 0 times.
Nigel Farage has been on Question Time 38 times.

But they both lead parties with 4 MP's.

I do hope so. Well done!

1 in 3 doctors were born overseas.

1 in 2 builders were born overseas.

1 in 6 nurses were born overseas.

1 in 4 transport workers were born overseas.

1 in 7 UK business founders were born overseas.

1 in 5 university academics were born overseas.

The UK would be screwed without them.

It’s lovely to see that the BBC prioritises money over everything else

🚨How Britain privatised itself into failure.🚨

Britain outsourced its state – now private firms profit while public services crumble.

In 'Failed State', Sam Freedman explains what went wrong.

It’s not really Britain is it? it’s largely Conservatives
