lots of people aggrieved at having to pay £90 for a covid jab. nothing can change it for now. only way to change it for the future is (if discussing it with a potential Reform voter) keep telling them very many NHS things we take 4 granted will become impossible or chargeable if they vote 4 Reform

so trump’s loons think he should get the Nobel prize which is voted on and announced before his ceasefire even comes into force ? (yeah I know he ended seven other beautiful world wars)

absolutely… bit like privatised utilities tho it is so entrenched after three or four decades that there seems to be no solution. Thatcher selling off the family silver has thrown future generations to the wolves while her supporters still reap the millions

The Press in thrall of Badenoch’s astonishing rabbit out of the hat of abolishing stamp duty. it’s not a vote winner, it’s just yet another recycling of dead Thatcherism. How many people today want social services and libraries cut further so that rich people can get thousands off their house price?

had assumed that she had got over-promoted due to being Sunak’s pal… but things must be really desperate for The Opposition if she is still the best they can offer for Energy SoS. good grief.

best cheese ever is obviously the spilt bits from cheese on toast a bit later when they’ve cooled… afternoon ruined by someone being too enthusiastic with the cleaning up

fair comment, but he wasn’t unpopular on polling day just went into an inexplicable descent very soon afterwards?

Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 6d

agree with everything you say here… just wondering whether anyone unpopular has ever won a parliamentary majority (or even more than about 150 seats)?

Ed knows what he’s doing… there isn’t an MP out of 650 that’s better at social media. Just embrace it

not been past KS circle today, but apparently the locals are trying to turn it into mini Brownhills - just so you’re expecting it if you’re heading that way…
