UK is a very centrist electorate and even though many people may not like FPTP, at times, most say that being able to form a government within 24 hours is still preferred, over all the coalition forming that might otherwise mean no government for weeks/months. Also, harder to collapse a government.

Quite possibly. No political operator is gonna answer "Nah, not talking to anyone", that would waste an opportunity to stir the pot.

Will be interesting to see if any defect to Greens. Most of the Labour left MPs always talk earnestly of staying in the party.

Then again, not matter what, this was the only way to answer that question, because even if there aren't any talks, you would use the opportunity to seed the thought.

Agree, this far out from a GE, the polls will be wild.

"I am talking to Labour MPs about defections, yes."

Green leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social says he’s in talks with Labour MPs - but insists the Greens don’t need defections after a membership surge.

Made easier by having labels such as 'antifa' as it creates an easy target.

A government is the state.

"𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐽𝑒𝑤𝑠 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝐼𝑠𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑙"

Which takes me back to my original point, not every Jew supports the state.

Are you suggesting the current government in Israel is not majority Jewish?

Ada Loves Lace @adaloveslace.bsky.social · 4h

Please do. Just do it without killing innocent civilians. Go in and fight Hamas street by street.

My work takes me up and down the UK. I use the public services. I even get GP appointments when I need them.

As I said, not broken, just in need of improvement, some more than others.

We need to stop talking the country down, that's playing to Reform's hand.

If the US government shutdown extends to Thanksgiving and beyond, then it'll become a problem for Republicans and Trump.

The new AP-NORC poll, conducted as the shutdown stretched into its third week, comes as leaders warn it could soon become the longest in history. https://to.pbs.org/4nVeoIM

Who's winning the blame game over the shutdown? Here's what a new AP-NORC poll shows

The AP-NORC poll also finds there’s plenty of blame being cast on President Donald Trump as well as Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Leaders warn the shutdown could become one of the longest eve...

I've gone back to using a real camera for family and personal photos. My phone's camera roll is now just newspaper/magazine clippings, advertising boards, etc. 😄

Everything is not broken. Things need improving, but they're not broken. The extreme left are the people agreeing with the extreme right that apparently "everything is broken".

Yep. It's find it a rather interesting thing that both the hard right and hard left do not want central bank independence.

The Jewish people aren't the ones giving the orders or setting these policies, the Jewish government (with its far right elements) is.

I find it odd that a Jewish person would blame all Jews.
