Committed European and hates Brexit and it’s narrow nationlism. Retired teacher, left of centre and lifelong Labour supporter but not liking Starmer’s policies and now more inclined to support the Lib Dems.

It might have something to do with the oil companies backing him. It feels like some vested interests groups are pushing him to be PM.

I think he has been an easy ride so far by MSM. I am not normally one to indulge in conspiracy theories but I do wonder if there are powerful interests at play. I note that the oil industry are supporting Reform and Farage plus there is Musk and Trump and their supporters in the background.

European Paul @illing942.bsky.social · 12h

These policies are just not been highlighted in the interviews on MSM. Farage is being given a free ride.

You think people would have seen through this ‘global Britain’ rubbish when you look the so called deals that were negotiated or not negotiated under the Tories. Britain just does not have the heft as a medium size economy to stand up against the giants like China and the US.

Farage would be an absolute disaster as PM. He has already caused huge disruption to the British economy. His announced programme would simply strip British people of rights and further impoverish them.

Germany has since the end of WW2 relied on the US to provide a deterrence against Russian ambitions firstly in the Soviet era and now against Russian nationalism. No surprise then when the US pulls back it finds it necessary to rearm.

Absolute, ignorant bull from someone who knows very little about modern Britain. It is frankly disgraceful that someone who displays such ignorance and espouses such crap is allowed to own such a powerful network.

Well, well, well: who's surprised?
Excellent bit of local journalism of national interest here, thank you.

Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Probably a more equal share of the country’s wealth than the UK or the US.

However I cannot vote for a party that repeatedly repeats and amplifies the anti immigrant rhetoric and has trampled on our rights to protest. I have taken out membership of the Greens because they seem to be the only true left leaning party.

Labour has spent too much energy chasing after the populist nonsense of Reform and neglected its own base. As a result many Labour voters have become disillusioned with the Labour Party. I appreciate that they are doing good work in some areas like employment rights and rent reforms.

True and I am not sure the other nations in EFTA would welcome us. It would also be necessary to join the EEA. Given the current economic woes and current showing in the polls maybe the British people would be willing

I’m sure Tommy Robinson and his fellow right wing ghouls will be making hay out of the attack no matter what the facts are.

I thought the idea of buying a poppy was to make a contribution. To even think of reusing a paper poppy without making a contribution seems bizarre.

Unfortunately you don’t have to have a literacy level much above that of a seven year old to read the poison promulgated by The Sun and The Daily Mail.

It's not just immigrants he hates.
It's women.
It's poor people.
It's Disabled People.
He even hates the people who vote for him, just like Trump.

Delighted to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social agrees with me and @savefom.bsky.social that restoring mutual Freedom of Movement of people should be a priority and a first stage in rebuilding relations with the EU.

Just fantastic. ♥️

A 9-year-old Palestinian Boy Stood at a Distance. An Israeli Soldier Knelt and Shot Him Dead.

Eyewitnesses say Muhammad stood with his arms folded, posing no threat, when a single, deadly shot was fired. The soldiers later appeared to celebrate. The IDF said the incident is under review.

European Paul @illing942.bsky.social · 7d

It seems that he tried to return to custody and was turned away. It was totally overblown story about a man who was more confused than a fugitive. Had he not been a migrant I doubt that the story would have made national headlines.
