The fucking cheek of any Tory to talk about competence when his Party had Rees-Mogg and Dorries as Ministers of the Crown. It's quite some level of brass neck.

And let's be brutally honest about it...framing that is only acceptable on GB News/Talk today will be mainstreamed by the BBC within a year or two.
Or you could stop patronising people with the bleeding obvious as though it's offering some kind of insight.
Yep, these nativist movements are invariably powered by foreign money and influence.
Such inspiring words, genuinely moving.
Centrist Dad takes are always worth a giggle.
As far as much of the electorate goes, authenticity matters a lot more than the perception of competence these days.
Given the utter paucity of the latter in British politics over the past twenty years or so.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Because Ofcom is an anachronistic hot mess that only feels comfortable in regulating the Royal Mail's Universal Service Contract and pretty much fuck all else.
not that it was okay with gaza (or lebanon or syria) either, but the broadening of the way western media and politicians just treat israel's every action as presumptively justified is quite incredible
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
You really can’t have this guy not going to jail for the rest of his short, unhealthy life and still be any kind of democracy, I think.
Are you the first person in the history of social media to abbreviate conventional wisdom down to 2 letters?
Charles Kushner's poodle.
Or with his real boss, Charles Kushner.
Did you run this horseshit past Charles Kushner first?
Marco Rubio is a worm.
Doesn't really explain the US's affection for enormously fuel inefficient cars and trucks though.
Imagine Israel's little bitch thinking the KSA would give a fuck what he thinks.
It's not even necessarily winning. It's just not relinquishing power.
I fully expect CBP/ICE snatch squads and militia intimidation of people waiting in voting lines.
The upcoming US midterms may seem like an American domestic political battle, but the fight is for its very democracy and its being paid for in Iran, in Ukraine and in spilled blood all over the world.
They're just a set of awful cunts who will say or do anything for money/attention.
The media hasn't made an especially big deal of the carnage so I expect a lot of people aren't even aware of it.
Any sane society would have run Rupert and Lachlan out of town a decade ago.

I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant.
It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.
All the Reform types round my way are white, wealthy, home-owning retirees.
Poor? Not sure that's true Dave.
