Maybe I am, but what can I say, I have no indication the greens are out to deceive people like me or anyone, in fact, quite the opposite

What makes you say that they are attempting to deceive people? Any specific statements or policy you disagree with?

The lack of self awareness and overdose of delusional stupidity from this woman is beyond belief...

Starmer loves legal technicalities to mask his hypocrisy...

For the same reason Corbyn was stubbornly clinging on to a party that had nothing at all to do with the one he had joined decades ago'...

Because he still believes in the old fashioned and outdated idea that parties actually represent something...

Did you steal my cat???

Unless, of course, Starmer mission is precisely to be eaten...

Or rather, to get labour eaten...

This is what happens when a pusillanimous PM has the habit of licking the boots of the racist thuggery in the hope of gaining a handful of votes

Pathetic 🤮

I was referring to a recent interview with @lewisgoodall.com where Zack was asked a very similar set of questions (although the Lewis tone was a bit more aggressive and confrontational)

Clear, terse, composed, factual

As usual a sobering, articulate and intelligent interview from Lord Heseltine

Victoria Derbyshire, "You described Reform UK as the right wing fascists of 1930s, why?"

Lord Heseltine, "Because that's what they are"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social this is how it's done 👆

You don't need to worry or get frustrated with the interviewer, or feel like you're being pushed into a tight spot

Facts are facts: if you stick to facts, you can come on top of even the most aggressive or adversarial interviewer

She must be the worst, most unintelligent, mediocre, insignificant leader of the opposition in centuries...

I mean... Even farage lies would be better than this ineptitude...

And they lie, they lie, they lie
they lie, they lie, they lie

Well...

I guess a 200% drop "could" be equivalent to a drop to a third of the original price if one normalises the price drop by the final price instead of the initial one...

In other words, if one is economy illiterate...
