It's a good practise drill for the real event.

Make sure muscles are properly warmed up before running up and down the street screaming.

Be sure you know where the good whisky is

One of the senior Tories quoted praise from Sir Michael, it was glorious.

Alex Vijatov @alexvv.bsky.social · 3h

Sir Michael has taken in some high ranking Tories amongst others

Pretty sure someone quoted him on GBNews thinking he was authentic

The GOP strategy is to wear you down to the point of apathy. Don't let them do it. Vote today!

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

We need to start making inroads against the politics of greed that have taken over so much of the world.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

I wish they would act like a dominant party instead of running around like headless chickens in fear of losing votes to Reform.

Tories polled 43% in 2019 GE. Reform and Tories now standing at 43% total. It's just a redistribution of right wing allegiance.

The mistake was made in saying they wouldn't put taxes up in the first place.

Tories set a trap for them by cutting NI. The right decision would have been to put NI back up and make changes to capital gains tax rates to align with income tax rates.

A lot of people under 40 are going to wonder what the hell you're talking about.

Then they are going to Google 'Stanley Unwin' and wonder what the hell he is talking about.

As with their rhetoric on immigration, they have made it a very difficult position to row back from.

As many, many, many people have been saying from the start, Labour should have been honest about Brexit all the way through. Every lie, every ‘jobs-first Brexit’, every ‘make Brexit work’ has been a nail in Labour’s coffin.

She is telling an accurate story of recent history - the triple punch of austerity, Brexit and covid. It's spot on. But it is terribly strange to say it now in government when you were not prepared to say it in opposition.
