Understandable. Slagging off your future boss is probably not a good idea.

Ironically, everything the EU does that disadvantages us does not give cause to reflect on leaving it. It is instead held up as proof we were right to leave it. 🤯

Really? You are shitting me! 😱

Maybe the local gamekeepers could help find the culprit…

Telling that even Farage isn’t pushing this right now. He’s smart enough to leave it until after the election. I guess the difference is Badenoch knows they’ll be a support role by then so she can go complete batshit to ingratiate herself to her new boss.

Similar vibes to this. Claim something is bloated, only to find austerity already stripped the cupboards bare. bsky.app/profile/fina...

Step 1: This.
Step 2: Upstairs window accidents.

Funny how MAGA Republicans would have almost certainly been the demographic most enthusiastic about the Epstein files. Yet now, mysteriously, they're the least enthusiastic. Hmmm... 🤔

He's on the bandwagon. He knows if you want to be a player in the right of politics now, this is what you need to do. The days when they were expected to hide their racism has been mothballed.

It is possible. As long as they’re prepared to adopt inhumane Trumpesque options with no regard for consequences. The flagshagging base will love that.

Kemi is the new Nick Clegg. No,
not an ‘I agree with Kemi’ way. A ceremonial deputy role to Farage.

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. Right up until voting closes they’ll insist there are no plans for a coalition. But they will.

Simply aligning with Reform policies so can more easily slip into their new support role in coalition.

But what about all the swathes of diversity officers? That must have saved millions… right?

Unfortunately, dictatorships sometimes have their advantages over democracies.

And that any forum that has no barriers will always descend into a sewer. We are not a nice species and we can't have nice things. Twitter is the new Usenet.

That strategy being 30%+15% = back in power in a coalition.

Wayne Stuart @waynestuart.bsky.social · 4d

Simply aligning Tory policies with Reform’s policies are so they can more easily slip into a support role in a likely pending coalition after next election.

This why why they wanted the protests to be cancelled. Cos they couldn't really spare the resource necessary to arrest and process so many old ladies and vicars holding unauthorised pieces of cardboard.

She's alive though. A luxury the IDF often doesn't bestow on anyone who gets in their way.

By 'Europeans', are we sure he means people and not luxury goods via Kazakhstan?

More like IDF. Commit an atrocity, conspire to make up an alibi, gamble no evidence comes to light that disproves it, case closed, repeat.
