He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Jenrick allies are collecting no confidence letters from Conservative MPs calling for party leader Kemi Badenoch to quit,

Hard to work out the strategy of these people. If it’s to copy Reform policies to lure back voters, it won’t work - they’ll go for the real deal.

There are plenty of good reasons for ID cards - immigration isn't one.

There are plenty of issues with ID cards - Tony Blair's son being involved isn't one, whether it's true or not.

By forcing the announcement to focus on immigration, the Government allowed more space than necessary for b0llocks.

I wonder if it has ever occurred to Tommy Robinson that if he doesn't like prison, he could try not breaking the law.

Although I agree with you overall, Polanski is up against lawyer Starmer and con-artist Farage, so needs to plot a careful course to deal with those very different styles and the attack methods they employ.

That's the difficult part for the Greens and maintaining credibility is critical to that.

Corbyn has always been terrible at the political optics side of the job, and while some love him for that, it was always going to be his downfall. Polanski is stronger here, plus significantly more likeable imo and doesn't come over as whiney, which is so often underrated.

Nigel Farage Broke Britain.

This 45 second clip provides the clearest and most succinct take down of Farage I've seen in some time. It's better than anything that either Labour or the LDs are currently saying.

Both parties should unashamedly steal it, word for word, and use it on a loop for the next 4 years!

Badenoch on the wrong side of everything as she attempts to turn a party with a long tradition into a Reform tribute act.

Tory/Reform establishment figures bend tax rules to the extreme, drowning in offshored funds and tax havens, with no consequences. Rayner made a minor mistake in comparison and it destroyed her career.

Progressive politicians are always held to higher standards, so I can guarantee it's not "over".

Sure, you can dismiss/deflect what I'm saying, but that doesn't change how politics or the media works.

My point is simply that if Greens do make significant gains in polling, there are already many challenges in converting that to votes, and greater challenges with Zack's baggage.

He whacked his crotch with a crutch while crocheting? No wonder GREAT Britain has gone to the dogs! I tell you what we need, more flags flying from lampposts! Crocheted flags, none the less - set to fly by brave men on crutches up ladders, using their crotches to reach those dizzying heights! 🤣

How dare you talk about crotches in such a derogatory tone!

(Read with fake social media outrage activated)

Sure, it was a good response. I like a lot of what he says, but (and I know it's unpopular to say) Zack is already a busted flush.

First, there's this, which will haunt him again and again:

Then, there's ridiculous bulls**t like this:

Some of the comments on here regarding today’s awful events in Manchester make me sick.

If you think British Jews are responsible for the actions of Netanyahu then you share the same platform as those who think British Muslims are responsible for the actions of ISIS.

Awful awful people

The response to the attack in Manchester today on X & Meta owned platforms simply underlines the failures to regulate social media properly.

Until we make these platforms legally responsible for what is posted on them then nothing will change.

Got to be honest, some of the posts here on Bluesky are f**king appalling too.

"Farage wants 'free speech'? You got it: that leaflet was racist. Condemn it. Apologise.

And to immigrants: Farage says 'go home'? I say, you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 home."

Wes Streeting calls a Reform UK leaflet suggesting Anas Sarwar would prioritise Pakistanis racist.

Farage Boats should be the new default term.

It's not. 83% now.

It would be a terrible shame to go to all the effort of a completely new and separate investigation into Russian interference, when we haven't seen the juicy details of the first one yet!

ICYMI: Anti-corruption campaigners and the Liberal Democrats are calling for fresh investigations into Russian interference in British politics, after Reform UK’s former leader in Wales admitted to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia. ✍🏼 @bylinetimes.bsky.social

It's a catch 22 on X. You don't want to support Musk, so you don't subscribe. However, you're probably mostly engaging with blue tick tw@ts, who get paid for engagement they get.

There was once an argument to stay on X to fight against the far right. Now though, you're just funding them if you do.

Finally! Yes, please!
