It’s really easy to save 50bn if you don’t give a toss about the consequences
No. We purposely isolate inside an echo chamber on this platform because it’s the one area of our lives we aren’t forced to put up with complete arseholes.
Jon Freeman 🪶@disguisedinvirtue.bsky.social · 2d agoNope. I’m saying this platform is full of faux intellectuals who purposely isolate in an echo chamber to avoid scrutiny and accountability. They use this platform to indoctrinate the weak with their flawed ideology using mob like tactics to silence those who step out of line. Embarrassing.
I think we need to mentally prepare for the very real possibility that *none* of the allegations against Farage end up sticking, and what that will do to Reform’s ratings.
Incidentally, M&S changing rooms are now all gender neutral - something we’re probably going to see a lot more of following the EHRC guidance.
Interesting that with all these people standing, it’s only the Green party candidate that is being asked to stand down. One could almost think Labour and their supporters think that the Greens are a real threat

the greens shouldn't accept anyone from Labour under any circumstance
Richard Sedgley@richardsedgley.bsky.social · 3mo agoLabour braced for defections to Greens if Burnham loses (£) Backbenchers approached Polanski’s party months ago and may join if Manchester mayor fails in Makerfield www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
Farage claims his phone was hacked by Russia and that this highlights the “threat they pose to British security”. Which is odd because 7yrs ago he had the chance to strengthen laws against Russian interference but he voted against it, saying the claims were “baseless” The man is never, ever right.
Farage complaining that info on his five million pound bribe was leaked by Russian hackers is like complaining that your child sex dungeon was discovered by burglars.
Does he realise that saying it was ‘leaked’ infers he kept it secret on purpose? Is he now admitting his earlier statement about not disclosing it wasn’t true?

Feels like it’s gotten to the point where you simply need to mention the word ‘Israel’ and you’re screamed at for being antisemitic.
So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil
We're also talking about a workplace riddled with harassment, bullying, and sexual assault. So yeah, laugh at the woman calling it out

If you think not paying tax is the problem then you’ve missed the mark spectacularly.
Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · 3mo agoI regret to inform you that we will be publishing a detailed analysis this week of the £5m payment to Nigel Farage, and whether it's taxable. It is likely to annoy *everybody*. (except tax advisers, which is all that matters)
It’s fucking mental that the sensible politics understanders are now wandering around shouting about how greens should step aside so Burnham can save the world and can’t fathom why we’re telling them to stick it up their arses.
Like, don’t get me wrong - I could actually get behind a hypothetical progressive/centre-left Labour coalition with the Greens. The problem is that today’s Labour Party isn’t progressive or centre-left.
For a party that apparently ‘doesn’t have a right wing’, they sure do punch left a lot.
of course all the chaos is funny and I'm glad that Keir Starmer, a bad person, is having a bad time. but jfc what a waste of two years, what a waste of a majority, what a waste of a once in a generation window to improve things. and now it's just 24/7 infighting, briefing, backstabbing. pathetic
I can see Streeting being Labour’s Liz Truss moment, quickly followed by Raynor then Burnham for the election.

Rob Ford@robfordmancs.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe “Blue Labour” strategy still being promoted by some on Labour right is premised on being able to win social conservatives while holding on to social liberals. Failure state for this strategy is failing to win social cons while alienating social liberals. Here is a map of that failure state:

There needs to be a drastic appraisal of the voting system. A party winning power with 75% opposed is not a recipe for a peaceful country.
