Jack of no trade, master of even less. Don't follow me, I'm also lost. Grandad, dad, husband, pro Europe, pragmatic left, Bowie. Procrastinator. I don't necessarily follow back.

Currently, elections are won on 20% of the electorate. Unless people decide that voting is worth doing we are going to end up with a racist PM voted in by a minority of racists.

Yes. The pattern is in him leaving then coming back then leaving again. He doesn't have the appetite.

No, but 60% is poor. 100% of the power on 20% of the electorate is poor.

Well, he left UKIP then created the brexit party then left that... There's a pattern.

Looks pretty tasty that but I'd never get my lot eating anchovies. 😔

I have that feeling too. I reckon he'll step down nearer the date or self sabotage.

Kruger is hardly a personality but if Patel, Braverman, Jenrick join, they'll want a leading role and Farage ways falls out with people who want to shape the party.

I do wonder if all the nutters have deserted to Reform, the members that are left might vote for a one nation guy?

And 60 million outside London. 88%.🤷

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 @pascalr57.bsky.social · 9h

There was a story just couple of days ago about decline in children in London because young people can't afford to live there. But there you're talking about a small sample by limiting it to London.

I don't. I think she's being held in place because no one fancies the job right now.

Petulently didn't answer and came armed with a dossier of accusations she could throw at every questioner and was visibly reading from.

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 @pascalr57.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah but she doesn't know that.

And disagree amicably.
It all goes back to Cameron/Osborne austerity. Lack of investment leads to decay.

F for Facist.

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 @pascalr57.bsky.social · 10h

It's his party, he controls policies, he's the leader, he's not sharing.

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 @pascalr57.bsky.social · 10h

I forgive him/her
Only a little bit though.

Wealthy ones. Repayments on 500k will be over £2000 a month.
Average salary is 35.000k ish.
Average house price about £350k.

Same here but the ones left up are looking very sad, dirty, limp, frayed...

Chelsea?

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 @pascalr57.bsky.social · 10h

Agreed and I think Labour are working on that but even so, I don't think very many first time buyers go for a £500k property.

I think Farage might feel vulnerable with too many big names conservatives around. They'll be fighting like rats in a sack and I don't see Farage as having a conciliatory persona. Maybe that's what needs to happen to see both parties implode.
