Right? The mid market is being decimated quality wise. Reliable restaurant chains in the hands of private equity eg Côte as an had beautifully fried chips, thickish steak and a fresh salad. Now it’s paper thin meat and sad fries and stale salad from a catering supplier a greasy spoon might use

@forcefemmedtoxie.bsky.social · 2d ago

That's actually an amazing point. The big change of the last 20 years is the mid point product being obliterated so you can only buy literally the worst shit ever or something so expensive you need to take out a loan.

We need to act now.

Every new oil and gas project makes the heatwaves worse.

Imagine if you will a country with politics so poisonously malicious that the Sensible Centrist party will not defend itself from a surging far right, because they have a smart plan to impress and win over the far right with a campaign of new, even more cruel anti-migrant crackdowns.

This is all horrific stuff, and I invite you to go back to 2018/19 and reread her columns, newspaper interviews and podcast appearances talking about it, and then decide who it sounds like it was, that had been doing all this.

In other news, Labour plan to water down net zero targets.

Burnham and Labour are far worse than even Tories of the past. Insanity and incredibly right wing

The fact this completely aligns with the US far-right government and its demands that US client (vassal) states remove any "woke" considerations from public procurement is, I'm sure, entirely coincidental. Ahem. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/01/b...

Sounds like you know you're wrong and can't admit it. So arrogant. You get shown up as a charlatan and you throw your toys out of the pram. Like Argentina you're just throwing a tantrum because you've lost and been made to look silly, how's that for footballification aye?

Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 4d ago

Ah there we have it. The footballification of politics and the discourse.

This is the kind of thing that radicalises these guys. A bunch of "legitimate questions" where they're convinced they have the right answer, countered by a load of people who know what they're talking about telling them they're wrong. Expect to see Goodall become Rod Liddle within a decade.

He’s getting dragged for this in the comments and he deserves it. The memory loss! The lack of care for the vulnerable here

Funny how they like the older more regressive greens who lack ambition and mainly weren’t a threat to Labour

🪭LINA لينا@agirlcalledlina.bsky.social · 4d ago

If you ever wanted a more brazen example how horrendous these guys are

Remember, in January 2021, after the govt lost control of Covid infections for the second time, a thousand people a day were dying in the UK. Without lockdowns, we still had no means of slowing that explosion. And that’s apart from all the other ways this claim is just stupid.

Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 5d ago

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

So how many more disabled people and older people should have been allowed to die so that young people could go out more during a pandemic? As one of these young people who was then at uni, struggled with lockdown & depression, and who also ended up in a wheelchair from long covid... Really?

This is bordering on climate change denial levels of ignoring scientific consensus, and Goodall is displaying it even harder by responding to scientists on here with basically "yeah I know your research shows loads more people would have died but..."

So you’re either a science denier or suggesting more deaths were a price you were willing to pay so which is it Lewis? Maybe an exciting mix of the two, a beautiful cocktail of classic conservative reality denial and heartlessness

Almost everyone in these threads agrees Lewis Goodall is paid far too much to spew his hack feelings around like a manure sprayer in front of an industrial fan

Like listening to James O'Brien, if you listen to this platform and journos like Goodall you are actively making yourself stupider. People need to stop consuming this flaccid, predictable establishment gruel

Hands down the most damaging commentator in Britain. Incredible how many people let themselves be led into disaster by this empty-headed prick.

This is what centrism does to your brain.
