Why is Kwarteng writing in the I?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I have absolutely zero confidence in Starmer to address this issue.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Bloomberg on top of all the important stories as ever.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

How did that one get through?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I think Starmer's grasp of these sorts of policies is actually pretty weak.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Parallels here with Hitler's brown shirts.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

We all saw how Trump and Vance attached Zelensky when he visited the White House and how Trump fawned all over his friend Vladimir last week in Alaska. It is pretty clear where America's sentiments lie nowadays.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Putin, famously an advocate of free and fair elections.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

there is a 3% drop. Some parties aren't included.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

rounding errors.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

CBS are being bought out by a far right trump ally.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Someone should explain the Kydland & Prescott inflation bias theory. 😂. He is such a moron.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Just about everything in the country/world started getting worse in 2016.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Corbyn's party won't be particularly green though will it? Probably still wants to bring back coal mining.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

We will end up with a multitude of progressive parties each getting about 5% of the vote.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Always has been.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Don't agree with this post at all. Misjudged in my view.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Perhaps the problem is Starmer.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Is Corbyn particularly Green?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

That is because republicans are drones and will believe anything.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Arguably they wouldn't continually get bombed if they had a nuke.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I am really beginning to despise starmer.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Perhaps aligning himself so closely with Trump is his first mistake.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Biden was also quite weak with Netanyahu.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

If it was the same thing but calling for the deportation of all jews it would be a much bigger deal. Double standards.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I still despise her.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I think his core principle is that he doesn't really have any principles.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

His expertise in what?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

With Thatcher's big bang?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Dante himself was exiled from Florence for life.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Once voters have turned against you it is difficult to recover. I know Thatcher after the Falklands but that was a long time ago.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Voting Labour mainly works if you think we are in a 2 party system and Labour are the only alternative. Labour are sliding almost as badly as the Conservatives. Pretty weak from Starmer.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

My sort of episode!

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

So nothing new then from Trump.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

And a lot higher value jobs too.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I think the current Starmer is the real one. He has revealed himself. This is his vision.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

It seems to be perfectly in fitting with the whole tone of this administration from day 1. I don't think we imagined the disdain he displays for immigrants.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Has anyone anywhere had anything good to say about this today? Aren't they concerned by the universal contempt for this move?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

The thing is they are no one's first choice. If they aren't one of the 2 main parties then their floor is 0%.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Starmer revealing himself to be a moron apparently.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Labour clearly hates them.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Yeah, pretty meaningless really.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

The funding model means less and less Scots are getting the chance to go to places like Edinburgh. Even with the heavy bias towards non Scot students the model makes it very difficult for the universities to make it work. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I am talking about universities not high schools.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Scotland's higher education system is cracking worse than most.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

But that is the thing, he really doesn't get it at all 😂.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Be fair, they are well on their way to decimating the higher education sector. That will be felt widely.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Of course they are going to make the same mistake.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Sounds like he yearns for a King Trump type figure.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

*Than you predicted.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I think Griffin is one of the ones most responsible.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

It is clear that Starmer does not care about our universities. They are not part of his plans. He cares building constructing airports, theme parks and about Scunthorpe steelmakers.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Is Truss famous in the US?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Trump just doesn't have the cards.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Moscow and Washington are aligned on this. They both hate Zelensky.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

America's full capitulation to Putin didn't take long.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Who is the Monetary Policy Maker version of RFK or Tulsi Gabbard?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

That is why i don't watch CNBC.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, a sign that they also do not care much for the rule of law or due process.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Perhaps they should provide a workable funding model for universities.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

No one.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

He probably gets his information from the Daily Mail or the Telegraph.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Because Scunthorpe brexiters matter and university workers don't apparently.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

The Mar-A-Largo accord doesn't really have the same ring to it as the Plaza accord.😂

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

and a lot of the moderate Labour votes.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

-8% on economy only 😂

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

What is the trade deficit with the penguins?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

He has been talking nonsense ever since he got the role. What a clown.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I don't think there is any limit to the amount of humiliation Starmer could force on the country. His intention is to put us under trump's control rather than move closer to the EU.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Starmer looks like a fool.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Starmer will never be forgiven.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Not interested in Le Pen's response.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I really don't want a trade deal with trump.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

He is such an embarrassment for the Guardian. Why they employ him is absurd.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Winning elections is overrated.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Don't worry, it seems that Starmer has already caved.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Getting rid of Schumer would probably boost it by 15% alone.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Just shows how ignorant they are.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

How is the Bessent 3-3-3 plan going these days by the way?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Depressing when Labour go on about the benefits of brexit.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Why is it not important?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

He looks like a nazi.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

I have agreed with very little that Starmer has done thus far.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

That's what you get for continually giving trump the benefit of the doubt.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

It will be one of the mysteries of history why trump was given such an easy ride and not critically assessed.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Russia loves him though..

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

X should be eliminated.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

This doesn't mean that Republicans will win. The Democrats are angry that their leadership won't oppose Trump, not that they prefer Trump.

Dorian Lynskey (@dorianlynskey.bsky.social) reposted

I'm so tired of Trump's face, his voice, his ridiculous words, his nutty cabinet members, his awful voters, his imploding country. This 24/7 rolling atrocity of a presidency that poisons the entire world.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Much better than the insipid Scholz.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Is there anything trump has done which hasn't been bad?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

True

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

4 years unfortunately.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

What a weak response from Starmer.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

He looks a bit like a bear who has just come out of hibernation.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Imagine trump in 2008 😂. Don't really want to rely on him in a crisis.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Fortunately for trump, the average american is a moron.

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Maybe, Maybe not...

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Have the Conservatives just given up?

ChrisH (@chris666999.bsky.social) reply parent

Question is also what the long term pain will be.
