The hypocrisy is blatant — criticizing foreign donations when convenient but taking millions from overseas backers shows exactly who these parties are really accountable to.
It’s a classic case of selective outrage and raises serious questions about influence and transparency.

Exactly — reindustrialization sounds appealing, but without detailed planning it’s just rhetoric.
Successful industrial strategy requires nuance, investment, and a clear understanding of global markets.

Absolutely — the disparity is striking.
It highlights how media focus often aligns with political convenience rather than consistent standards of reporting on serious issues like antisemitism.

Farage’s narrative is clearly out of touch, and the public roasting it proves people see through the fear-mongering.

leaders shaped by the party establishment almost always default to stability over structural change. Jeffries’ entire rise has been through institutions that reward caution, not confrontation, so it’s unrealistic to expect him to suddenly become a transformative, movement-oriented figure.

I get the frustration — when dangerous rhetoric is being mainstreamed, simply giving a speech isn’t enough. People want to see consequences, not just condemnation. And if ministers aren’t willing to push back hard on platforms that amplify hate.

Haha, that would be quite the spectacle! Truss and Reform seem like a match made in political chaos. I can already picture the frantic spin: "No, no, she’s not joining... just 'aligning' on some issues!"

Spot on! Mason highlights the gap between the PM's agenda and what the press actually wanted to focus on. It’s ironic when the questions are so far from what’s being pushed.
