Yep. They all have a blind spot, unable to see most things from the outside.

Hmmm, I see he’s a conspiracy theorist and espouses the great replacement theory. Which is kinda funny living in North Cornwall, with a whopping 0.2% black population and 96.8% white. Jenrick would love it here.

When he ran in the GE last year, he seemed to be a true believer. I’ll assume he’s on the Rupert Lowe side of batshit crazy.

Careful now, or we really will set the CLA on you next time. Cornish feeling on this subject is quite different.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.
Image featuring a graphic from the Bradford District Green Party. The background is green with the Daily Express logo in the upper left and a photo of Zack Polanski speaking into a microphone on the right, holding a cartoon-style bundle of cash with a pound sign. Below, a mocked-up newspaper headline reads: “Zack Polanski wants to redistribute our money and turn Britain into a Left-wing haven.” At the bottom, the Green Party logo and web address Join.greenparty.org.uk are displayed.

The first two photos are colourised photos from the inter-war period, surely? Talk about anachronistic reactionary fools.

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Tories will abolish stamp duty to “revive the housing market”

First time buyers don’t pay it anyway (up to £300k) & the fact the average UK house price is 10x the average salary is the problem, not £5k stamp duty on a £300k house! And then there’s the £24bn lost tax revenue…

Totally deluded 🤦‍♀️

I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye
Cartoon. Two people standing on a stage looking at a third person who is jumping down through a trap door. In the foreground we see the backs of the audience’s heads. One standing people observes “It’s just a stage he’s going through”

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.

Can we stop using calling groups like Sex Matters and LGB Alliance,"Gender Critical Activists" as if their views are in any way "legitimate"? When they make comments like these then I can't see how you can call them anything other than transphobic hate groups.

Gender critical activists accused of ‘hateful’ remarks about trans women
Labour MP Richard Quigley said he was ‘appalled by the comments, but not surprised’
