They’ve got three more years to implode completely. Which they always do. It feels like they’re already on the inevitable slide into obscurity tbh.

Haha - that actually gives me hope. The desperation is palpable. These idiots are running out of targets and sound increasingly insane.

SKS is continually underestimated - he’ll step up when the time is right. Thanks for your perpetual insight Simon Marks, always a pleasure to listen to.

See, including Boris Johnson on that list makes me inclined to agree that they should be deported.

Funny that, isn’t it. Almost as though Chris Mason has some sort of historic Conservative bias….

The Tories/RWM etc clearly had pre-prepared responses - assuming the budget would be a disaster for Rachel Reeves. Turns out pretty unremarkable / market positive- and they are absolutely losing their minds. I credit Starmer pragmatism. Again. Nobody saw this coming. Perpetually underestimated.

When I read the “ hacked “ post - I cringed so hard I nearly turned inside out. It’s the only reassurance we have with this temporary right wing resurgence; they always ALWAYS self destruct.

If you are not living and breathing this fanatically every single day - the broader picture suggests just a couple of days of quiet reflection needed. As I say, the cause would’ve gained a lot more general respect had they been a little more sensitive to the public at large.

No they’re not - there’s no conflation. Ordinary, non politically engaged people think it would be a good idea to just lower the temperature for a short amount of time. Going ahead has haemorrhaged support from the general public for an organisation with broadly sincere and admirable ideals.

No, I’m not. And they should - of course. But they are racist dickheads. I expected more from an organisation I previously have had a lot of support and empathy for.

They would’ve furthered a very valid cause, and gained a lot more support - by doing the right thing and stepping down today. Just today.
