Why do Reeves & Starmer seem intent in p%ssing off every cohort out there. I'm so desperate for them to succeed & they've been dealt dreadful hand & need to make tough choices.

But their political nouse is bereft.

Paving the way for reform in instances like this by way of the Greens ...

I might even start watching it.

Pru Kruger held very little appeal.

When ever a rw hack trots out the line -"Whisper it" head down to tge bookies and get out your chequebook.

Rich pickings will be heading your way.

This week could turn out to be a key week for the UK beyond the next election.. Tories looking mildly sane - first time in a long time.

Also I always thought Trump is a blind spot for Farage - he is just 1 yr in

Along with the Telegraph etc al

Oh thats good...thats very good and could catch.

If it is so politically unpalatable to have so much non EU immigration- surely there should be political space to have some more EU immigration

Think extent of Starmer criticism is ludicrous. But if was to put it down to one thing its his inability to engage/build a relationship with voters.

No. of things: poor at political strategy & comms, lacking group of supporters in country/party, pisses people off when no supportive group. Wooden.

Not sure totally agree. I have a theory the anti London thing & also general doing UK down on countless Youtube/FB videos.

Plus bad faith actors such as Carlson.

Would not surprise if states such as Russia, Iran & China are pumping ouy/paying for a lot of this stuff to destabilise the UK & west

Impact of social media and rw rags in one poll

There's the rub for who? Starmer or Farage?
December 22, 2025 at 8:27 AM
This is the problem.with such poor gov. policy. & by government mainly mean Tories. No phasing out of FOM (after a pandemic), then open gates to millions of non EU citizens to mask economic impacts of Brexit.
Don't disagree that something needed to be done but danger is another immigration shock
December 21, 2025 at 7:21 PM
After the mad scale of non EU immigration to UK since 2021 - so called Boris wave - surely a narrative to be had FOM a good thing.

Staring the govt. in face yet they seem to go out of their way to dispelled it. Even if they don't do it - should be rolling the pitch.

Brexit is such a disaster
December 21, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Bizarre that local labour councillors went against so many locals on this.

Given the govt. polling and virtual monopoly labour has had on MCC for years, remains to be seen how politically expedient this decision will turn out to be.

All for develop. at this site. However scale & height of this build is ridiculous.

MCC deserve credit for much development in the city over last decade.

However also fair share of v poor planning decisions. Lidl store amongst 4 schools, tram track & a dual cattiageway is one - this is another.

Leave it be. Great modern building. By all means do it up and improve but don't knock it down

Also the 3rd one was Irish

Both things can be true

Lest we forget - last 15 months we entered the "Noticing era"

Ferrari & his ilk whipping up loads of stuff did precious little about over last 14 yrs - stuff just started to notice...

Remember him bemoaning botched Brexit deal a lot to do with immig. levels recently & hit to economy?

Me neither
November 16, 2025 at 9:59 AM
He also bleated visciferously how unelected beurocrats in Brussels making decisions on UKs behalf (mainly falsely) as one of main reasons for leaving EU Now he wants a load of unelected, unaccountable burocrats in any reform cabinet.

Piss boiled not enough people are paying attention to this stuff

Marr speaks with gravitas & I often find him pretty good

However IMO often lacks political judgement

Think better than Laura K but they remind me of each other - comprehensive BBC careers, establishment figures, (upper etchelon Scottish - which may not be relevant) & lacking in depth & breezy.
