Correct. Unfortunately we're ruled by politicians who are still running scared of the right-wing. We need politicians with the cojones to call their bluff.
The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

No democratic country should trade with any country whose leadership murders their own citizens. That should just be a red line, as anything less condones their murdering ways. And that includes the US.

The fledgling Labour Party exposed policies more akin to what the Green Party espouse today. However, the Labour Party were bought off by the very people they were opposing. Hopefully that will never happen to the Greens.
Quite striking how the argument the Green Party have been making for some time now - and getting called all sorts of silly names for by the Labour Government - is the most popular position with the British public.
Funny the things you can just say when you've not been bought and paid for....

Strikingly even current conservative voters are most likely to say it’s best for UK national security to align with the EU - along with majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Green voters while Reform voters are more likely to say it’s safer with the Commonwealth/CANZUK or the US

In a Reform world, people could be tasered or locked up because 'they looked like they could be violent'. He probably looked at Zahawi and thought, 'he could be a multi-millionaire tax avoider'. I know who I would rather rub shoulders with.
Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

Nadhim Zahawi covered up and lied about £3m in unpaid tax for 6 years.
If he's looking for criminals he only needs a mirror.

Starmer says “We are not the Britain of the Brexit years any more. Because we know that, in dangerous times, we would not take control by turning inward - we would surrender it” - All true, but real progress won’t be made until the Government abandons their ridiculous red lines! Brexit must go!

Are there any multi-billionaires in the world who are using their riches for good. Or does having insane amounts of money automatically turn people to the dark side of humanity?

I love watching wildlife programmes, but recently some have shown the damage humanity is doing to the natural world. One image that moved me to anger and tears was seeing a swathe of rainforest being cleared, and a distressed uran utan ran along a branch and tried slapping away the arm of a machine.

I work at home as well as in my office. If I can't get to the office for whatever reason, then I work from home, therefore I'm very productive because I'm always working. Of course it would be nice if my state pension was enough to live on, then I could choose whether to work or not.
Farage frothing about WFH again…
Funny how the loudest critics are the ones who’ve probably never done a school run or a Zoom call with a sick kid in the background.
WFH isn’t hurting Britain - but Reform’s backers would hate you to realise who really is.

Why Farage Can Get Stuffed on Working From Home
WFH isn’t a perk - it’s a lifeline. But of course, the fuckers who want it gone are the ones who’ve never had to endure the chaos the rest of us call “Tuesday.”

If Labour, Tory & Reform Ltd

weren't all funded by millionaires
didn't all use hate speech to blame migrants
for poverty caused by millionaires

And this in itself should be enough for Starmer to resign. I believe political manifestos should be treated like a legal document and barring natural or financial disasters, breaking promises made in it shouldn't be allowed. Getting votes under false pretences is committing fraud on the public.
Just in case anyone has forgotten here are Starmer's pledges
the list of things he said he would do once elected leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister
(Spoiler alert He ain't done any of them)

Of course he's not sorry; he's just trying to mitigate the damaging backlash.
Yea I really believe he is 'sorry'.
No one speaks the way he did if they don't mean it.
ITV News
'Ratcliffe says 'sorry my language offended some people' after comments on immigration'
Stick your 'sorry' up where you hide your Tax you avoid paying in the UK.

I bought every album he brought out right up until he died, and also had the pleasure of seeing him live. I never tire of his music and still listen to him to this day.
Love this song from John Denver who is sorely missed! I always felt that John Denver was way ahead of us all. He was environmentally friendly and was aware of how important it is to take care of planet earth!

I think I would end up disliking PM Streeting even more than PM Starmer.
It is essential to call out every newspaper that is lying. However small, however large. We must not allow them to lie. Whether they call amendments UTurns or as in this piece say Streeting is on manoeuvres. The media are liars.

Of course! They rely on media soundbites and nobody asking them hard questions. They have plenty of declarations, but no explanations of how they will deliver on them, or the effect they will have on the poorest in society.
Do you think Reform are too scared to debate the Green party because they're worried their lies will get exposed or how much they love nonces will get exposed?

Keir Starmer says 'I will never walk away' as though it's some kind of laudable stand. But most people will view it as meaning 'I will never take responsibility for the Mandelson cock-up'.

It seems that Starmer is a control freak.
Starmer has conducted a vicious factional war within the Labour ranks to install his own lackeys at every level of the party. This went as far as rigging the Labour leadership nominations process to exclude women, people of colour, and genuine socialists from succeeding him as party leader.

He always sounds like he's reading from a script, so you get no sense of passion or belief, just a feeling of cold disconnect from what he's saying.
The problem Keir Starmer has is not of communication. The problem is that he has nothing to communicate.
Keir Starmer has never known what he stands for, not tactically, not morally. That is why he has always relied on others to tell him what to think. That's why he's in the mess he's in
