It’s not confusing if you EXPECT Reform to lie. Just believe the exact opposite of what they say.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

Was that in their manifesto, or did that not make their "aspiration" list?

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

Remind me again who a lot of his own voters are? oh.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

It is not a surprise, tbh. Much as it breaks manifesto pledges, a responsible Government has to take such actions if other reasonable options have been exhausted. All citizens should understand that.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

Well you only have to look at who those 4 MPs are to know they’ll stick both feet in their mouths, given every opportunity.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

Is this the same "aspiration" as his last manifesto? Made up guff he has no intention of honouring if it doesn't suit the lay of the land at the time?

Watching this with the sound off. Tate is the original "angry young man" - or more like an opinionated toddler. 🤮

Young people will only be employable whilst they qualify for the reduced minimum wage, then. We’ll end up with a slightly older generation unemployed unable to get even minimum wage work then.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

Why does Farage expect employers to continue to employee youngsters who get too old for the reduced minimum wage. They’ll just sack them and replace them with more kids who do qualify. We’ll find loads of folk in their mid twenties suddenly unable to find work.

Never mind God, we'd ALL know if this had happened even once in the UK. It hasn't. Musk is talking out of his backside again.

He means Andrew, doesn't he. He feels badly for Andrew.

Hoping the BBC will challenge Reform over anything is a forlorn hope. The BBC needs to be held to account before they will ever afford any right wing politician the same courtesy.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

And when those underpaid young people are no longer “young” and need to be paid full rate, what will happen? They will find themselves unemployed, replaced by more young people who don’t cost as much. A continual stream.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 1d

This will still appeal to a certain sector of society (as it did in the US), hoping to “stick one to” the “elite”. They don’t expect it to apply to themselves, just to “others”. As we can see in the US, FAFO.

The private health sector does NOT have the capacity to accommodate the Reform voucher system to replace the NHS. Fantasy politics

What is non-serious about an anxiety disorder which prevents you from working?

I have to say that they have turned up again bright and early as usual, so are ok. But no sign of them while the fireworks were on.

That dance troop seriously needs to take a closer look at themselves. Apart from the clearly-not-20s-costumes they were almost wearing, and the more-raunchy-than-expected moves they were busting, perhaps we should be told who they are, so we can all avoid hiring them in future.

My usual evening foxy visitors were conspicuously absent last night 😢

How effective does Soapy think pepper spray in a confined space would be in protecting herself (and everyone around her) from an enraged stabber? Might it not just incapacitate herself further?

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 3d

If it is not terrorism, then two guys have decided jointly to just go on a stabbing spree for no reason. Going armed in the first place, so pre-meditated. Were they under the influence of drugs? One person acting alone might be considered mental health issues, but not two together.

Seems like certain companies have no moral compass and will flog ANYTHING in the name of profit. If there is a market, they will satisfy it.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 3d

Polls reflect opinion and are easily manipulated by how a question is asked and who is asked.

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 3d

Might?

Lioncub @lioncub19.bsky.social · 3d

Very sad, but not exactly surprising.
