That’s why Musk and Thiel are pushing this hard financially.
JD Vance is their man.
Trump gets the win, out in 12 months because of his mental health issues (which will also be used as defence for everything)
And Vance takes over.
(I predicted Trumps cognitive health and defence years ago)

Farage repeated all of the same statements, many times, over a number of years, to a much wider audience.

Here's Farage & Gill in European Parliament a few weeks before the first known Russian bribe.

Farage calls the EU 'arrogant & vulgar' then compares them to the Soviet Union. Unreal.

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

I quoted 2 concise posts for you that pointed what has been achieved, something you are incapable of doing it seems, you’ve made a statement now back it with some reasoned fact to make yours, or go back to chasing unicorns in your political utopia. 😂

And from your post
“The truth is as long as it wasn't led by a convicted murderer with a policy of the slaying of the first born, Labour would have won in 2024”

Labour did win didn’t they? 🤷‍♂️

This is your argument here, please show direct comparisons where you believe the Greens policy is better than Labours.

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

This is your argument to make here sunshine.
You don’t like Labours, but you do like the Greens, so make your case.
Also feel free to explain how the Greens were planning to fund theirs.

Grumpy @grumpybb.bsky.social · 5h

Please feel free to point the differences between Labours and the Greens.
