Can anyone answer me why some people think we can push dinghies trying to cross the channel back into french waters? Or why they think we can pick asylum seekers up and drop them off in France? It's not hard to understand why it's not possible but they think it is
I am so sick of reform politicians saying that Brexit wasn't done right or hasn't happened. How stupid are they? Do they actually believe this nonsense? After all this time do they still not understand simple things
I do seriously wonder how people can be so blind about Reform. They've stated so many times that they are racist, corrupt and want to hurt people. But people still want to vote for them. I mean why? Are people really this blind and ignorant?
This shows that again too many on the left have no understanding of the real world. In the UK we have the Greens and people like Corbyn who are very similar. People who fail to understand the world as it is not how they want it to be. There will be no real negotiations till Russia has had enough
Rep. Ilhan Omar@repilhan.bsky.social · 2mo agoI have always, and will continue, to stand with the Ukrainian people and unequivocally condemn Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion. I voted against the Ukraine Support Act because of its inclusion of broad economic sanctions.
This isn't exactly a surprise and I've seen many farming groups moan about such a ban. And frankly I am tired of some of these groups. They are extremely insular and moan at everything that they see as negative. I really really don't see what their problem really is

The war is at a major impasse. The Russians aren't able to breakthrough, yet, and Ukraine is battering them at the front and behind so they are losing. The question will remain is how long both can keep this up

I love the fact that people on Facebook are seriously trying to convince me that Tommy Robinson isn't racist and a horrible person. I mean seriously
What's probably caught them off guard is the timing. To all intents it's been obvious that Trump was looking to do this at some point despite it actually weakening America strategically. I doubt the alliance will easily survive Trump's presidency and it's an open question if it's a bad thing or not
Jacob Öberg@profjacob.bsky.social · 3mo ago🚨🚨Unsurprising #trump betrayal and downward spiral in EU-transatlantic relationship. The striking point is not really the announcment but that European leaders were caught off guard with this announcement. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/us-t...
Why is it that some people think that UK soldiers should have the right to commit whatever crimes they want and not face any consequences. And then demand that I should be thankful for that
I really do hope that he loses and does so badly. The fact that Europe has had him acting as a Russian agent for so long has been tiresome. Anyone especially now who says that they are pro Russia, America and Israel really need to look at themselves

I find it incredibly shameful that I have to stop supporting my local club Ipswich town FC. They lied to fans, they invited Farage for a political party stunt. Those in charge have all but admitted that they support reform a far right extremist group. It is not something a community club should do.
The entire issue here is that if Trump and the GOP had gotten behind Ukraine earlier instead of sabotaging them Russia would be struggling more now. Imagine tomahawks, an almost unlimited supply of drones and better air defences. But instead Trump and the GOP did the opposite

I am totally ashamed to say that I was an Ipswich Town fan. After the club's deliberate endorsement of Farage and the Reform party that is no longer the case. I am sickened that the club I used to support has sunk this low as to support a fascist
This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing about this situation. Brexiteers were specifically warned about this situation so it's not a surprise. It's also why Brexit isn't sustainable. It's also why the next GE will be about our relationship with the EU
Jacob Öberg@profjacob.bsky.social · 5mo ago🚨🚨 Major irony warning: The UK decision to depart from the EU in the "hard" way opting for the TCA was the most severe barrier to EU trade that could be imposed. Now live with it or renegotiate the basic terms of this framework. #brexit www.ft.com/content/05e0...
It's really irritating seeing people who ask, what do we get out of helping Ukraine or why should we help. The simple answer is helping people who did nothing wrong, why can't people learn this? Too many times countries have refused to help people and the consequences have been tragic
Why is it so absolutely embarrassing at the moment to be British at the moment. There has been a sexual assault in Ipswich where I live and so many morons are saying it's an immigrant etc... what the hell is wrong with people it doesn't matter I'm so sick of this shit
It is so painful seeing some people's response to what Starmer has said in response to Trump's actions. It's not a good situation but what the hell do people expect? It's a painfully hard situation. I'm no labour voter.but now I can't vote for anyone as they are ridiculous idiotic
The number of pro EU accounts I'm having to block is getting seriously ridiculous now. So many are getting painfully impatient saying we should be applying to rejoin the EU today not understanding that of course we can't and simply trying could derail the effort entirely if we try and fail
I find it rather troubling but also amusing that I see so many leave and reform voters saying that Ukraine should essentially surrender to Russia. Undermine its own sovereignty and live under russian dominance just so they can have things easy. Can they see how bad they look
There is a seriously ridiculous debate going on where I live. Several schools put off the 2 minutes silence for mock exams for the year 11's for 45 minutes. The response is seriously ridiculous and stupid. What the hell is wrong with people. There is nothing to complain about
It is amazing just how many people in the UK seem to think it's ok to kill people who are crossing the channel in dinghies.
Far too many people are being extremely dishonest about the debate surrounding nationalisation of the water companies. It needs to happen but we really need to be honest about the costs. There will be costs involved it won't be free or cheap or as expensive as others suggest
Transparency from MPs is extremely important especially from the better ones. Too often policies or ideas are not explained properly or have serious holes. An example is the nationalisation of water companies. Too many times MPs etc.. ignore serious issues deliberately and don't answer questions
Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association
What is quite painful hearing at the moment is all the people saying we must stop the boats etc but naturally they don't actually know how. When they suggest leaving the ECHR and such that won't work. They're ignoring the problem and making really poor excuses and claim that they are not racist
The biggest tragedy of the situation with Charlie Kirk's death is that instead of having a president who will try to tone things down he will deliberately try to stir things up and that may see more people killed
How are we going to deal with the issues surrounding asylum seekers when the debate is so poor? They're blamed for so much, told that it's not our problem or that they are from an inferior society etc..it's seriously ridiculous
One of the things that I find so ridiculous at the moment in the UK is that no one seems to be able to learn from our recent history. The idea that we can leave the ECHR Scotland can get its independence and join the EU almost immediately it's all so easy apparently or the UK can join the EU
This if anything says so much about reform and its followers. The UK should be proud of what we did in WW2 despite knowing the price. We fought from the first day till the very last on a matter of principle. This guy wants the pre WW1 Britain which is thankfully gone
