Haven't heard any actually Green costed policies yet. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC
Fed up with brexit. My Rule No 1 : Never trust a tory. My Rule No 1(a) : Never trust anyone who claims to have legitimate concerns - they don't. Just one cat left now.

It's impossible to accommodate those who like Fagash's xenophobic fascism. They always come back for more just as they did after their brexit was imposed on the country. Starmer needs to get a grip and abolish the current Home Office. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens. Britain has a serious far-right problem. The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.
Dave (@davidrghendy.bsky.social) reply parent
Starmer could ask Fagash why he's still here given that the Reform Fuhrer promised to leave the country if brexit were a failure. Well, he could if he joined with Fagash in admitting that brexit is a rotten failure. Seems an obvious ploy to me.

Farage is the biggest threat our NHS has ever faced. He wants to replace it with a US-style insurance system. Most bankruptcies in the US are for unpaid medical bills – of people WITH medical insurance. What happens to those without medical insurance? You don't want to know.

There wouldn't have been a general election in 2019 without Corbyn voting for it in Parliament. There was only going to be one winner because 50% of the UK electorate were daft. Anyway, that is all in the past. The present and the future are more important and Corbyn shouldn't be a part of it.
