Everyone loves Tom Hanks. Hands down one of the nicest people. Compared to Trump... no comparison
Prat. Block incoming
Amazing this is not top of BBC/Sky/ITV news agenda, eh?
and deeply depressing. You can feel your spirit being crushed with every new low ebb where cruelty is the only purpose.
I'll have what she is having! Looking great!
Starmer is more manager than visionary. I think a visionary would look at the fragmentation of politics and the media frenzy around Reform and go for PR while in government. I just really really don't want to see another far right party get in.
There it is. Did he win? NO. Did we get 7 more years of the Tories as a result? YES. The rest is irrelevant. 7 more years - Johnson, May, Truss, Sunak all as a result.
of course you have no idea what my views on trans rights, palestine or benefits is, but feel free to throw rocks any way. I am pro human rights, pro palestine, pro redistribution. I am also pro having someone in power, however flawed, who is not far right. Block incoming, we won't agree on how
was about to block then I see you are a Green activist. lolol. I am about to switch from a lifetime of Labour support to Greens. I like the cut of Zach's gib. No irony here!!
we have nothing to say to each other, do we? If Corbyn is your poster child for the future, then I am right. Perpetual opposition looms. Block incoming as we are going nowhere
you obviously missed 2 failed Corbyn elections. Blame whoever you want, the result was more years of Tory government. Labour are a mile from what I want, but Jezza is empirically NOT the answer. Very few people get to fail twice
there is no conversation we could have that will make a difference. You want, and will certainly get, perpetual opposition, while the right destroys the country. That is your right. block incoming, We have nothing to say to each other
we are done here. if that is genuinely how you see it, we are far apart. I have said many times, opposition is easy, governing is hard. Labour has made massive mistakes, Palestine and immigration are 2 obvious ones. But to portray it as you do...I'm out. Perpetual opposition is your choice
Welcome your next PM, Nigel Farage. The left ALWAYS eats itself. This exchange is evidence. You and I probably agree on 95% of things. Instead, we are scrapping while the right spread hate
well lets all cheer the downfall of a government at least trying to do something. PS I agree, PR should be top of Starmers agenda, but sitting parties never want to go for it
never let the facts get in the way of prejudice, eh? "Labour have lost some support to Reform UK (8% of its 2024 vote), but the growth in support for Farage’s party has come mainly from other sources: 42% of Reform’s new supporters come from the Tories & 33% were non-voters in 2024"
I'm sure Farage will be very supportive
literally nothing good is there that you can see. So welcome your next PM, Farage. Then revisit how bad Labour are.
Just a few...legislation to bring the UK's railways back into public ownership, Banned no-fault evictions and introduced new protections for renters. free breakfast clubs for all primary school children. Scrapped the ban on onshore wind and unblocked solar schemes
there it is. It is always Israel/ trans rights/ welfare. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and those who oppose Israel and those who want a redistributive government. Even with all that, I would rather this lot than Farage or the tories. That's the difference
we need more of this. Call him to account. He is a charlatan
They have passed 2 bills a week for a year. There are many things they have fixed that get zero credit or airtime. 4 million NHS appointments, nothing. Free school meals, more nursery places. Nothing. This is a 5 year project people wanted done in 3 months
Right of Rwanda, right of 2012 austerity, right of covid contract handouts to mates, tory welfare cuts, universal credit...just nonsense. Labour are miles from what I want them to be, but this narrative of the left that they are worse than the tories will destroy us all and Farage will sweep in
Bollocks
And this is why we will have a far right government next time
Me too
Happy for people to die. Presumably will send thoughts and prayers to them all
He will be dead long before then. Cheeseburger boy is already in decline
Done
Wrong. The left, and yes I do count Labour as left or at least centre left, always eats itself. The desire to get everything means we end up with nothing. Perpetual opposition means we can moan down the pub while the right destroys everything. Corbyn double loss is proof
I regularly spar with people who genuinely believe that starmer is worse than the tories. Always because they don't like Labour policy on israel/ trans/ welfare. This is madness. I don't agree with Labour on these either, but better doing something than perpetual opposition and hand wringing
A cheerful read!!
Having just seen that our home secretary is going to meet the odious Kristi Noem to talk about migrants, I think my Labour days are coming to an end
We remember #RejoinEU
This is beyond parody BBC News - Mahmood to meet Trump's US security secretary for smuggling talks www.bbc.com/news/article...
Not expecting a lot of self awareness on show
Bless you. From anonymity to the wrong kind of fame! Sorry!!
@chrismasonofficial.bsky.social @chrismason.bsky.social do your damn job & hold farage accountable. We can all see the BBC joy reporting the rise of Reform. Any dimwit can do that. Impossible policies that would bankrupt the country. Venal racism. Your job is to challenge, not just report with glee
@chrismason, if it's not you, a thousand apologies!!!
@chrismason.bsky.social do your damn job and hold farage accountable. We can all see the BBC falling over itself to report on the rise of Reform. Any dimwit can do that. Policies that are impossible and would bankrupt the country. Venal racism. Your job is to challenge, not just report with glee
Sadly it doesn't finish with you. Next is gays, trans, any other black people. We know how this playbook goes
Why is this not the first news item on the BBC?
Read it. Was sick in my mouth
Darwin award incoming
In small print "unless it's rabid right wing views that help our viewing figures"
This is ridiculous. What a mess the government has got itself into. Arresting grannies, not condemning Israel. BBC News - Arrests at pro-Palestine Action protest rise to 890 www.bbc.com/news/article...
Why was he not fired? Nothing like the attention Lineker got
Unfortunately people get elected because they "tell it like it is". How else can we explain Boris who was clueless from day 1 to the end. We have an electorate who assumes that a hedge fund millionaire is one of them because he drinks pints and hates black people.
Right out of the Trump playbook. Expect more of this as his hubris grows newsletters.e.mirror.co.uk/RzUqlx8sBIQl...
The racism is strong in this one
Does that include protecting pedophiles? Read a lot of the Bible. Never seen that. I must read the gospel according to Donnie I guess
About almost everything. Not a surprise Trump is his hero
Should Nigel Farage resign ... YES him & every other political & media hypocrite! meme via @spottednewsoff.bsky.social
This. Every. Day. Woman defies all the odds to succeed, she must be stopped. Man commits same offences (looking at you Nigel), media silence
I'm sure this will definitely lead to his resignation. Lololol Nigel Farage admits he made a mistake over house ownership after a week that proves how much details matter | Politics News | Sky News share.google/Su4daKyVuoUq...
If that isn't what your original post was saying... sigh
I didn't start the ridiculous idea that a separate Scotland will not have politicians who are crooks. I don't care if you leave the UK or not tbh.
The idea that Scottish politicians are more honest than English is ridiculous. Sorry
Lololol. I smell desperation
If only the media made the slightest attempt to call reform out, but no, it's all for clicks
He knows exactly how many died of covid. What he doesn't like is that it doesn't fit his narrative
It's all part of the plan. Martial law so no elections. Simple
Then you don't understand human nature. Any Parliamentary position brings power, and power corrupts. There are plenty of examples of SNP politicians with their snouts in the trough
Cruelty. It's always cruelty and money
The racism is out in the open and encouraged. All of their "policies" are nothing. They are purely the anti immigration party. End of
Swerving the basic point that this is a human nature issue and Scotland outside Westminster will be no different
Laura Kuenssberg latest supposed "in depth" article is a supercilious attack on a woman from the other side of the tracks to her and more worship of farage with zero analysis BBC News - Starmer resets after Rayner row, but Labour turmoil is a gift for Reform - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Free Scotland from Westminster rule was the tagline, using Angela Rayner and Alexander as tax dodgers being your reason this time. Like Scotland free from England would suddenly be squeaky clean
Google is your friendly reminder. Natalie McGarry, Peter Murrell, Michael Matheson for financial issues. Plenty of other scandals. Politicians are human and fallible. This is not a Scotland vs the world issue
Blair once said his biggest regret was not being radical enough in policy. Yes you have 4 years, but a massive ramp up is needed, and when it is needed is now. Oh, and stop supporting the indefensible policy towards Israel.
I have copied BBC on bluesky maybe 50 times. Never a response. Vote for us then we will ignore you until the next election
And no Scottish politician has ever been guilty of anything right?
As long as the right wing media chase clicks, this is a self fulfilling prophecy. No other minority party in history has been given so much publicity with so little challenge to its veracity
Lololol. Nice one
The more I see this guy, the more I like
I can guarantee not another news organisation will cover this news about poster boy, Farage newsletters.e.mirror.co.uk/zPKrWG2kgjxO...
BBC R4 putting government minister through the wringer this morning, while Farage lives, consequence free across all media including the bloody Guardian for goodness sake
Thanks Nigel. Lovely work. You must be so proud
But all those flags are just patriotism, right
You need help
Exactly this.
Matt Chorley interviewing Tice on R5 was the journalistic equivalent of me serving underhand to Nadal. Pathetic. @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social do better
The only hope is farages dog whistle and gurning show gets less air time
Those who ignore history etc
Can we all sit around a table and tell him how awesome he is? Hard pass
Just like Donnie did... oh hang on. Just like Donnie promised then failed miserably
No one, literally no one, except you and Farage think you were right. Muppet
Wouldn't want a mouthy working class woman in power now, would we? Meanwhile grifter in chief Nigel, 6 houses farage will be gurning at us with impunity tonight
He lives half the time in Dubai and has extensive offshore banking. But he's Reform and a posh bloke and a mate of nige (6 houses) farage, so judged by different standards
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I assume you will be covering this in the same detail as Angela Raynor.
This will NOT make the headlines, unlike a working class woman pulling herself up against all odds.
Another person who used to be an MP sides with Reform. All they need now is Truss for the full complement of washed up weirdos. BBC News - Ex-Tory minister Nadine Dorries defects to Reform UK www.bbc.com/news/article...
I came here to say this.
Yeah but somewhere there is a banker in need of a bigger yacht
RP this. The hypocrisy makes me gag. Just heard Richard "offshore banking" Tice pontificating about how terrible this situation is and how she has to resign
Now do Farage’s tax avoidance. Do Jeremy Hunt’s tax avoidance. Do the tax avoidance of Tory ministers.
We call it the Hegseth effect
Just heard Richard Tice, would be chancellor, on R4. Hectoring , blustering and obfuscating about how they can somehow reduce tax AND increase public spending by "cutting waste from the backoffice". AI least Robinson called him out on it.
Here's the BIG problem. Hard core left folks think Starmer is a Tory. Leads to split vote
