If Sunak is a 'dud', then Starmer must be a 'fud' - vote Reform UK for a real leader!

@chatham43 Did you tell the police this?

Yes, it is - so is not declaring your actual address - it's like there's more than one offence...

That's just not true - 'politicising D Day' would involve using D Day to make a political gain of some sort and cleary this is not what Sunak has done. David Cameron was there on the last day - why is no one asking where the representative of Canada was on the last day?

@adampeckham8541 If you travel to USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and talk to the people there, many actually believe they are part British.

@corndoggydogdog I don't trust Starmer either (look what he's done to Corbyn after campaigning for him to be pm), but if Labour ends up with a 300 seat majority on 45% - those who voted Conservative and Reform are going to kick-off big time and Starmer will not have any answer other than to agree his excessive power is not democratic.

@simontaylor2143 His mother was British.

@jupitermoongauge4055 I think it's fair to say Jesus was not in agreement with all the 'laws' mentioned in The Bible. God's laws were set out to Moses in The Ten Commandments. There is clear evidence Jesus was opposed to many of the laws and practices and you have to factor in that doing so could mean instant death. Your comment is really very deceiving.

@DanRyan-v5y Good point! It's like the other parties are actually not democratic.

@matthewsemple So what you are saying is Sunak should have made political gain out of the sacrifice of the D Day soldiers...

@martinvickers7349 The leaders of France (host country) and Germany (now friend country) were meeting USA leader at the 'USA event' with Cameron because UK played big part. Each country that took part in the operation had different events which is why Trudeau and sunak attended their country's events but did not attend USA event. Simple when you are not trying to win votes out of the sacrifice of soldiers.

@plkrtn We shouldn't care and neither should the people of Canada. Trudeau attended the Canadian event in Normandy, there was no need for him to attend the UK event or the US event.

This talk of 'division' and what can be done to 'bring the nation together' sounds very caring. However, it's worth remembering there's no evidence the UK people wanted or asked for the EU to be imposed on their lives - so any division has been caused by a minority of MPs responsible for the UK joining the EEC and EU without referendum. There's no evidence the UK people are now divided over Brexit - the evidence shows most people are either happy about Brexit or don't think/talk about Brexit. It's clear there is a minority that will not accept the democratic will of the UK people and are busy creating anti-Brexit propaganda. These people think they know best and they know the UK people will not vote to join the EU - so their plan is to slide the UK into the EU's single market and for the UK to become an EU 'rule-taker' - then a future minority of MPs with a majority in parliament can rejoin (with special concessions) without referendum, claiming the UK needs to be 'making the rules it must obey'. Of course, we all know had Remain got 52% there would have been zero 'care' only derision and contempt for the losers.

How many centuries have twits like you been talking that tosh?

Labour is panicking because cavass returns show the council estates are voting Reform...

You appear to be mixing God up with religion - what makes you assume the church somehow speaks for God? The Bible clearly states Satan is running the world and it would seem likely he would have his tentacles in any church that would help his mission. You're right about 'faith' though, making people believe in things they cannot prove - like life inventing and creating itself in reproductive form and developing limbs, wings, fins, eyes, ears, brains etc. and all from nothing and for no reason, as if 'by magic'.

No MP is this stupid - these are pro-EU Tories working with the EU to get a pro-EU (Labour) UK government. If you think I'm crazy - I know you are being fooled.

The problem was a pro-EU activist UK government/parliament decided to overturn the 2016 referendum and began a propaganda campaign to switch Leave votes. As part of this a lie was put out that, Brexit would contravene the GFA and bring about a return to violence. The underlying news story was: 'We shouldn't do democracy in the UK, because IRA terrorists will kill people' The reality is the GFA text does not prevent either ROI or UK from leaving the EU's common market. There is nothing in the GFA about 'trade' 'customs' 'visas' 'border'. Conversely, introducing a new trade border in the Irish Sea is a clear breach of the GFA. Another propaganda lie (media story) aimed at patriotic 'Leaver' Brits was that 'Brexit would lead to Scotland leaving the UK'_ Obviously, it is easier to persuade a Scot to vote to leave a UK that is a member of the EU. We can already see how this lie is standing the test of time.
1
No one is undervaluing the referendum votes from Scotland and Northern Ireland - We greatly appreciate if we did not have the Leave votes from those countries then Remain would have won.
1
'Trade' arguments by Remoaners are like 'vermin control' arguments by foxhunters - nobody takes them seriously.
1
@jupitermoongauge4055 Jesus intervened and prevented the stoning of a woman for adultery, the story proves your theory 'Jesus came to uphold the laws' is wrong. Why would Jesus uphold the laws of a world which Jesus said Satan was the ruler? Since you are able to face reality you should be able to see this would make no sense.

We need a complete new set of politicians - the same lot we have now have presided over a forty year disaster. When the nation rejected their vision they should've made way for the people with the popular ideas.
1
@zedeyejoe Thanks - I was wondering how democracy worked... BTW the people did not vote for them - their vision for the UK was rejected and shown to be the biggest, most costly political failure in UK history.
1
@PSI-qf8bq Exactly! In a proper political party like Labour and Conservatives the members can vote for the leader and vote against party policy (Truss / winter fuel allowance) 😄🤣😂
1
The opposite is more likely to bring about electoral reform. If people were to vote as current polls suggest the right vote would be split giving Labour a 300 seat majority on 45% of the national vote. Such a result would create widespread protest and the new Labour government confronted with its own (and EU policy) would be compelled to move toward a new general election under PR.

@teresabelshaw4262 Because Cons and Labour and the civil service are the same thing taken over and run by people who are using democracy to do what they want with our lives. Democracy should be about us getting what we want - that's the idea. In the last 40 years we have had our public owned utilities sold off, mass immigration, or country handed to the EU, mass unemployment, home ownership unaffordable, net zero. Would the people vote for these things at referendum? No! So, they're not working for us.
1
Yes! Please reduce this to a punchy message and put it on the side of a bus - then let me know where you're campaigning - so I can sit in a pub garden with a pint and some crisps and have a good laugh as you drive by.

This has obviously been a political witch hunt against Boris. The remoaners are a bunch of bad losers with no workable plan - just backward looking sour grapes. They are a blight on the UK.

'Democracy' does not decide what behaviour is right or wrong, it only decides what shall be done. If by democratic majority politicians are going to assume omnipotent status on issues of behaviour, then they are acting like a god over the people.
1
Lots of 'vocal' EU supporters on here, but during the 2016 referendum campaign, I don't remember a single person in the UK saying they wanted the UK to join the eurozone - which is the EU's most central policy. The UK Government even stated the UK would not join the euro and nobody objected to this policy statement. I think there was no real desire in the UK to share the EU's vision for Europe.

Is it true Starmer is thinking of becoming Labour's first female prime minister?
1
A referendum and a general election are entirely different things. Besides, the petition to revoke Article 50 was a rerun of the 2016 vote, so by only reaching 6.1 million if failed to reverse the referendum mandate only demonstrating that more people were in favour of Brexit. The petition for a general election is not about changing 2024 general election result, it's about whether a political party should be able to tell lies to voters to gain power.
