When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.

yeah i'm still completely fine with the death of IP law
frankly i don't know why this bothers people

that 1 scene from the simpsons where martin and bart both put up posters that say "a vote for bart is a vote for anarchy!"

literally every time the media talks about polanski or mamdani

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

A tweet from the Daily Mail with a headline saying "Four biblical signs the world has entered the end of days as US bombs Iran

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.

British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.

Never called you racist actually lol

Women choosing to dress themselves is socially conservative to you? Or do you not think Muslim women can make their own choices?

Everything he's done in his entire career seems to indicate socially liberal, if he's a sleeper agent he's doing a damn good job of hiding it to fake an entire political career

Worth watching for Zack's comments and the disgust on the face of the Sky dude that they're being called out.

They really do not understand we see who they are...

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Yes but where are you getting the impression of socially conservative people joining the party? Just because they are Muslim doesn't mean they are conservative

And are you saying that based on any actual facts or policies they have spoken about, or just their cultural background

I’m seeing takes talking about ‘the centre ground is gone’ etc, and I don’t think that’s accurate - voters haven’t changed their motivations, the major parties have just failed to cater to them. Those people who voted green would’ve voted Labour had Labour not been too busy flirting with the right.

Muslims voting for a female plumber, in a party led by a gay Jewish guy, who ran on policies and talking points like decriminalisation, abolishing the monarchy and ensuring justice comes for the bloodshed in the holy land. Does not get much better.

Starmer:

“If you don’t like our policies you can leave.”

Voters:

genuinely, just perfectly distilling my five core political principles:

* you can beat the far-right with optimistic leftism
* matt goodwin is a laughingstock
* apathetic centrism will haemorrhage votes
* good local candidates > parachuting
* matt goodwin is a laughingstock again

So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

MATTHEW BADLOSS IS IT

I do apologise if it came off that way, I suppose I can see it now. But no my intent was just to clarify. And I think there's a lot of misunderstanding of tourettes in the discussions so that is where I was coming from

I wasn't intending to be dismissive or anything. Or minimize the situation. The original poster intended to discuss levels of control and it looked to be misconstrued as a discussion of the level of harm caused when it wasnt their intent.

That was me explaining the intent of the previous poster

I'm not. I'm just saying if someone doesn't have some albeist or racist opinion I'm not going to reply. Because what is there to say to someone who I agree with fully

Do you think his quality of life should be reduced as a result of his disability

Yeah it's an absolute disgrace they didn't bleep it out, especially when they did censor "Free Palestine" earlier

The way it works is that it makes him say the worst thing in that particular moment. The fact that it is the worst thing that could happen is exactly why it happened. He also says he has a bomb in airports and said "fuck the queen" to her face

? I did

I agree
