I mean it's not a subject to joke about, especially when claiming you're making a serious point. Claiming you should assault someone born female for being in a female only space due to their choice of gender identity is hardly appropriate behaviour. Especially when the most critical of those spaces is a refuge from domestic violence. But currently he is controlling the narrative... Which just screams of orchestration. It's hardly like he was perfectly innocent before that.. he was on their radar due to multiple previous incidences of online abuse and calls for violence
My constituency is a Labour/Tory marginal, by the next election, it might be a 3-way split with Reform having a real chance to win here. So I WILL most likely be voting Labour at the next General Election, and I'm not a monster raving loony. If I vote for the party I want (Green if there's a candidate which there wasn't last year) I would be letting Farage in.
Labour got 33% of the vote. The turnout was 60% so the number who voted Labour from the entire electorate was 19.8%, even worse than you claim. Time for a sensible electoral system.
I'm sure that in 1930, Hitler's manifesto was quite moderate. the fascistic stuff only showed itself once he was in power. I think Farage's ultimate aim is similar.
While we're talking about tax evasion/avoidance, interesting article in the Guardian about Farage. I bet this doesn't appear in the Torygraph or the Hate Mail. The most interesting bit being that he dodged stamp duty by putting his house in his wife's name. Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings | Nigel Farage | The Guardian
Farage will be sinking a gallon tonight. They're absolutely gift-wrapping the next GE for him. It's utterly depressing, that anyone in politics with integrity is deemed 'unelectable'. This lot haven't a prayer of staying in for another term. Corbyn and Green will likely make some gains, but have no realistic chance either. And no one seems to ever take LibDem very seriously, for whatever reasons. So the immediate future is either back to Tory or Reform. Grim. So so grim.
I said it before the election that if Starmer wasn't progressive enough Reform would be in with a reasonable chance of taking the next election. Obviously there's a long way to go but this doesn't make it any easier for Starmer and is probably costing them votes all across their base. Farage won't merge with Tories if he thinks he has a chance, but he might do a deal on a hung parliament?
I still find it hard to believe that someone in the public eye would risk everything for a modest (to her) saving of £40k. Poor judgement.
I'd got a step further and say the Labour party are finished. Sad really but Keir has brought this on himself, an absolutely appalling leader.
I often keep away from politics threads in fear of making myself look a fool (hard to believe, but I know less about politics than I do football). She's done the right thing in resigning. I'm not exactly applauding her for doing it, but I do think that had she been a Tory politician, someone else would have taken the fall to draw the attention off her, and had she been a Reform 'politician', she'd probably have been promoted.
It’s not on a par with the multi million pound ppe contracts dished out by the tories to their mates ,but I suppose some people have selective memories
She knows **** is about to hit the fan so got in there first before she was pushed. I won't be praising her for "doing the right thing".
