I don’t disagree that this is a plausible option. Or that they combine with the remnants of the Tory party “to keep the extremes out”. But why do you think this is worse than Reform getting 100% of the power on 30% of the vote?
That’s simply not true. Pierce had an excellent working relationship with Trump. web.archive.org/web/20260205...
Coming to the aid of allies who have committed the war crime of launching a war of aggression cannot be within international law. Just stop it with these absurd attempts at justification for his crimes.
No. FPTP would give a result that is utterly random and where the winner would have zero democratic legitimacy but 100% power. PR would give us a Parliament elected in accordance with the votes cast. Politicians would then have to put aside yah-boo tribalism if they wanted to form a Government.
And that cost Boris the Premiership.
But he hasn’t stayed out of the war. What is this “these are not the droids you are looking for” power that Starmer has, that he can do the exact opposite of what he says in plain sight but people still take what he says at face value?
By “all parties” I presume you mean the right wing ghouls of Tory and Reform. Other parties are available. And no, not one single thing “came out” that Starmer did not know at the time of the appointment. That lie to Parliament is a resigning matter.
In case you hadn’t noticed - I’ll credit you with ignorance rather than deliberate lying - our own MoD has confirmed that Iran did not attack the Cyprus base. www.thenational.scot/news/2590910...
His stance on Iran? Where he said we wouldn’t take part, then we took part, and where our “purely defensive role” involves facilitating illegal US strikes killing God knows how many innocent civilians?
This embedded sense of entitlement speaks so badly of these individuals.
Here’s an idea. If you believe in Green values, defect without any commitment, be a decent Green constituency MP, and earn the respect of the local party so they want you as their candidate, like any other new member would have to.
There was literally no reason to appoint a new ambassador. We had a perfectly good one who Starmer chose to sack to replace her with Mandelson. It wasn’t “a mistake”. It was a considered choice that was a morally repugnant blunder of epic proportions.
Just for context, here is what a scandalous story about a therapist actually looks like. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
It's straightforward if you don't understand how our Parliamentary processes work. And fair enough, they are complex and bizarre, and make little sense to the outside world. But Charlotte is exactly right in what she has said here.
"They're just a single issue pressure group."
"Oi! Stay in your lane!"
Or Sara Pascoe, the daughter of a member of Flintlock.
And here is an obscure multi-disciplinary one for you. The writer Ben Goldacre, author of Bad Science, is the son of 70s singer Noosha Fox of S-S-S-Single Bed fame.
If you are including sport, Max Verstappen.
What makes it worse is that the vast majority are just as accepting as they always were. This is a tiny minority, but one that is extremely wealthy, extremely well platformed, and is trying to use trans rights as a wedge issue to roll back rights far more widely.
That's not how these things work. This bill was never going to fall at second reading. The important work will be done at committee and report stage, when individual amendments will be voted on. It's arcane, it's stupid, but don't blame a very brave MP for how these things work.
Fat shaming. How very feminist. 🤪
She always thinks the worst of people because a Pessimist is Never Disappointed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s_W...
She's not wrong about the failed establishment. After all, its response when her constituents decided they didn't want her in Parliament was to put her in Parliament for life.
And it’s the policies, not the person.
Well, no, he did not claim he can grow body parts and he didn’t do it for money. So well done perpetuating a smear when you don’t even know what the story is.
That’s a trick question. Who on earth wants to be caught arguing that a Sun journalist told the truth? Well, apart from all those people attacking Zack, who do so except where what she said doesn’t suit their narrative.
And it is not even really an environmental issue. Just a mainstream gripe about privatised water.
The idea that even the worst Zack’s been accused of is a patch on what all other leaders are actually doing day in day out is absurd.
He’s still the only leader offering the policies this country needs, and he is not condoning genocide, surrounding himself with paedophiles’ friends, selling us out to the Russians or urging us to join an illegal war.
“Why won’t those damn Greens stay in their lane?”
Also, when the Greens talk about Green issues. “They’re just a one-issue pressure group.”
Serious People, don’t you know. As Zack has said, there is no environmental justice without economic justice.
