I was at a national trust property the other weekend and thought “that’s nice, a guy can get a tampon for his partner if he’s there”, did he not think of that? Nope, straight to the rampant transphobia

I mean, this is really desperate shit, isn’t it? I am a great deal more woke-sceptic than pretty much all of Bluesky but I honestly can’t be bothered to care about the National Trust putting vegan tampons in the men’s toilets and neither should you

My specific brand of fixing the church roof politics includes making sure all authors are absolutely hammered from dawn to dusk

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

Empty words, they don’t take us back in, so pointless air. Unless Labour start acting like Labour and less like Reform then they’ll keep on tanking in the polls.

He’s terrible. More labour right balirite mush. Completely unappealing on a policy and personal level. So I’m not surprised Starmer has promoted him, as they’re one in the same.

As you say, it’s just smoke and mirrors. It’s just political football kicking. Without rejoining, these attacks are just words, pointless. They won’t sway any opinions. He just looks like a hypocrite.

If voting for a political party is like a train station, then voting Labour is the train that left a long time ago. Most progressives won’t be voting Labour. I’m certainly not voting Labour again, thanks to Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney.

You’re still voting Labour? After they tried to push the disabled into poverty and demonise immigrants with Tory style policy? How embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself, every single Labour voter I know is not voting Labour again.

The problem is, she’s a Trump supporter. If she was in the US she’d be a republican. She’s approved of Trump bombing fishing boats.

Starmer has lied to get into power and now he lies every day he is in power.
Whoever still votes Labour the joke is on them for being fooled again.

Starmer did nothing of the sort. The Labour right are all talk, the day after the conference speech he just enacted more Tory style immigration policies.

Labour are lying technocrats and nobody is voting Labour again, wise up.

Did you read the article? Starmer is now surrounded by Fabian Blair institute technocrats. It’s a right wing government run by inadequate, right wing fools like McSweeney.

No one in their right mind is voting Labour again.

Keir Starmer is incredibly weak. Starmer and McSweeney have ruined the Labour Party.
