  1. They are passing laws to stop different types of dissent. Time to be worried.

  2. He's badly educated.

  3. Angela's direct and authentic, and I find that very refreshing.

  4. Why is it "interesting" that she isn't blaming the employees?

  5.  @lincslegend6936  that contractual obligation wouldn't stand up in a court of law.

  6. Mordaunt would feel much better if she crossed the aisle. She doesn't seem happy at all.

  7. They're scared of his eloquence too.

  8. Doesn't want the bubble to burst.

  9. They haven't needed medical treatment of a dentist it seems.

  10. ​ @lestrem11 i find Glaswegians very friendly.

  11. Why should anyone be surprised that he is intelligent and articulate? He heads a major trade union.

  12. ​ @TheWaveGoodbye-Music I heard Sunak attacking the disabled on the debate last night. A vile little man.

  13. Did you ever wonder why everyone wants to be in NATO?
    5
  14. Sweden abandoned that 15 years ago. Norway has loads of oil. It can afford anything.

  15. ​ @grantm6933 it is fascism. Read Gibbons definition.

  16. There are no consequences for him.

  17. We've got a very poor press. It does not serve the people.
    3
  18.  @LittleWing-35  they are trying to break the rail unions.
    3
  19.  @garyfletcher1910  why? Don't you think people who are elected to manage employee representation organisations deserve managerial levels of pay somewhere near the level of people who manage donkey charities and old castles?
    3
  20. Respect to her. Austerity and corruption came. She reflected. There will be many former Tories voting for other parties.
    3
  21. I know. Wouldn't blame the Scots at all.

  22. Eddy is the deputy leader of the RMT, not a sidekick. A bit of respect for the man please.

  23. Probably the average age there. Not joking. It's 52 where I live.

  24. ​ @stevenhunter5799 been there a few times, Glaswegians are great, outside the cities you get some unnecessary rudeness.
    3
  25. ​ @andypeutherer4218 now that's a good idea. No more Tories.
    3
  26. ​ @countdrakilla you're right. We can''t let the Tories re-invent the past.
    3
  27.  @alphacentauri2134  we have no choice. He was foisted on us. He's very right-wing too. Likes Hydek.
    3
  28.  @carmellewis2466  they couldn't run a union. They are not his equal.

  29. Millions think like her. Which method if suicide is best?
    2
  30. Labour are afraid of offending the media. These guys speak without fear.
    2
  31. The leader will have to go.
    2
  32. You have to. The alternative is truss, a right-wing fanatic who despises working class people, and is well prepared to destroy what's left of the union movement. .
    2
  33. That's why they gave thatcher a state funeral. Class is everything in Britain, but they made it a taboo word.
    2
  34. In 3 weeks, we will have normal human beings running the country again. Tired of the constant BS.
    2
  35.  @chander48  don't get too excited. He will represent his class, not his ethnicity. He had to deny racism exists to lead the tory party, and he was happy to do that of course. Ambition without principles, just like Truss and Johnson.
    2
  36. Me too. Societies have to be co-operative to survive.
    2
  37. I wonder why🤔
    2
  38. ​ @jonsimmons4150 he wanted rule of law, not absolutism. Read the napoleonic code.
    2
  39. Bank of England and oil prices brought down inflation. The hike in energy prices drove it. Sunak had very little to do with either. He did, however, have control over his decision to break lockdown rules.
    2
  40. ​ @susannamarker2582 bank of england decides interest rates.
    2
  41. ​ @kurtkunz2772 but be wary, the italians might claim ebruscan as their historical land, or the Danes might return.
    2
  42. ​ @perrymason866 many people believe that, unfortunately. It has formed the basis of a number of unpleasant ideologies and movements in human history.
    2
  43. ​ @mEmory______ he didn't though. He failed to mention the ethnic cleansing carried out in the crimea, which was 96% crimean tatar in 1801, for instance, including his own active and ongoing efforts to further ethnically russify it. He ignored thd fact that the area of kursk and bilgorod, and other parts of the lower don basin,were also majority ukranian speaking until stalin conducted further deportations, and were not incorporated into the Ukranian SSR, but the Russian one. And of course what he calls novorossiya is also majority ethnic ukranian, kherson oblast 14% ethnic russian for example, not that this matters because, unlike him,Europe, , including Ukraine, regards nationality from a civil rather than an ethnic perspective, and certainly not a statist one either. The old guy is out of step with the modern world. I would feel sorry for him if he weren't a mass murderer.
    2
  44.  @Maria7Maria  are you a Russian bot? Anyone who lives in the UK knows that 25k doesn't go far, and it's not above the average wage, it's below.
    2
  45. He doesn't mince his words like the Labour leadership. He talks to working class people directly. Labour might want to try this. They've lost the last 3 elections against a useless stupid party.
    2
  46. Economically illiterate, and that is the fault of our politicians. educators and media.
    2
  47. They're heckling because things have changed. He has no mandate.
    2
  48.  @DrMontague  it's illegal to do that. They would have their assets frozen. There have been a lot of trade union acts since 1979.
    2
  49. ​ @dogmatictales conspiracy theorists are definitely right-wing, because their goal is to make us distrust government and institutions, and it is these institutions which the left and centre needs to expand education, guarentee our rights, and improve access to quality healthcare.
    2
  50. Why?
    2
  51. She's top.
    2
  52. I'd like a lib lab snp plaid green coalition. Government by consent.
    2
  53. Who indeed. Beyond my comprehension.
    2
  54. Eddy for question time and Neill. He'd eat them.
    2
  55.  @eightiesmusic1984  decades of anti Union propaganda you saw there.
    2
  56. She can't speak normally. It's hilarious.
    2
  57. They will get 35% with their immigration and anti union bile. Combine that with their ID voter suppression laws and boundary changes and it might well be enough.
    1
  58. 20% for 80% against. Divided it is.
    1
  59. Thatcher froze trade unions out, because modern tories don't believe working people have the same rights as their "betters".
    1
  60.  @CountScarlioni  the "clown show" put a gaping 50 billion hole in the public finances. The clown shot occurred as a consequence of these little Englander brexiteers thinking they could borrow what they like, due to having a deluded sense of self-importance, and now our public services and key infrastructure, including the railway network, is even more under threat, and so they will, in their grubby deceitful way, try to blame the unions, asylum seekers, and any other vulnerable group they can get away with attacking, enabled by vile elements of our media.

  61. Populists they're called. Sunak is one, too.
    1
  62. The labour party was created by the trade unions.
    1
  63. Fascism. Trying to pressure the media.

  64. If truss tries to ban industrial action, there may well be a general strike, and historians will put that down to the cruel and unnecessary austerity policy.
    1
  65. The end game is to run down public services until they are so bad that people will accept them being privatised.
    1
  66. They will get rid of that.

  67. Penny mordant can't believe the nasal witch beat her.

  68. This guy needs to try living in russia.
    1
  69. Also not coming in from a narrow ideological position.
    1
  70.  @GlennLeinster  the tories will continue to weaken trade unionism.
    1
  71. They are trapped by their own ideology. They can't solve the problem, they can't envisage a high tax, high level of public services style economy as in Northern Europe. They would rather decimate our public services.
    1
  72. This is why the far right hate journalists, and shouts "fake news" at every opportunity. Investigative journalism is vital for a democracy to function, and private eye does a fantastic job.

  73. Fan of Hayek. Watch out Britain!

  74. You have to be genuinely smart to rise in the union. No old school ties.

  75. ​ @madontherun the left has a problem with transatlanticism.

  76.  @serbanandreimarin  they do. You should visit Devon sometime. Black jokes, you name it.
    1
  77. Kier will be more reformist than people realise, in a good way. For once, a party is underselling itself, because the electorate is tired of hyperbole.
    1
  78. ​ @rokko_fable  it's not that black and white, you oversimplify the world. It was the mainstream media which uncovered watergate.

  79. The boys in 39 were fighting for a fairer country. What's Sunak offering us?
    1
  80. True. In 39 they were fighting for an NHS and a fairer country.
    1
  81. ​ @TheYopogo socially liberal
    1
  82. Not exactly what he said in Tunbridge Wells.
    1
  83. It's not profitable, it's national infrastructure, there to make the rest of the economy more profitable.

  84. The paramedics are tax payers. Divide and rule BS.

  85. They were only experts.
    1
  86.  @jamessenn7270  is that the English language you're changing the grammar rules of there by any chance?
    1
  87. They want to increase corporate dividends, and reducing pay and shedding jobs helps that.
    1
  88. It's been here all along, but the tories have sidelined the trade unions, and they are starved of publicity.
    1
  89. He goes easy on Putin.
    1
  90. When he was at Winchester there was a bottom thrashing scandal which the police only started investigating in 2019 because they were warned off at the time.
    1
  91. You might, but I'd prefer it if you stuck to giving us a hard time on the rugby field, while we all respect the sovereignty of our neighbours, and if wales wants to go it alone, self-determination is a fine idea too. Barry John was a tremendous 10.
    1
  92. ​ @tracymann9472  no it didn't, Tracy. It was a fine example of that deterministic, selective view if history one would expect from somebody educated in the ussr.
    1
  93. ​ @annoloki the extremist factions being the democratically elected govt no doubt. Because we all know about its extremist desire to become a western style democracy.
    1
  94. ​@dinada5314 Palestine wasn't a state then, but you are right to point out that it is wicked to use history in such a manner. I just wish that you could acknowledge it on russias part, too, and not engage in what about ism instead, because that shows that you do not actually think it is wrong, BUT are simply using it to defend russias weaponising of history.
    1
  95. ​ @cordoroy9515 and Ayrshire is part of the ancient Kingdom of Northumberland, I think. Not sure, actually. I'll ask putin on that one.
    1
  96. ​ @managerialelitetoaster3456  you do realise that you are advocating for the reconquest of ireland, which belonged to the crown for 9000 of England's 1200 year history. BTW, England became a state in 935 ad. Russia in 1611, 1451 if you are saying it is synonymous with Muscovia. It definitely did not exist in the twelfth century.
    1
  97. ​ @managerialelitetoaster3456  it was supported by Russia, everyone knows that. The Minsk agreements were signed as a resultof wholee regular army russian brigades entering ukranian territory, because the insurrection was failing. As to the insurrection itself, there is no evidence from reports and surveys of the period that it was the will of the majority of citizens of the donbass oblasts to become part of the russian federation. In fact, every single major party in ukraine advocated for closer integretation with the EU. If you will allow me, I would also remind you that in december 1991 in a confirmatory referendum, 81 and 82% of the citizens of donetzk and lugansk respectively voted to join an independent ukraine, as did crimea, in terms of ethnic makeup donbass was at that time 65% ukranian and 35% ethnic russian, that migration being principally a result of the manpower demands of heavy industries which developed in the donbas from the early19. Century onwards. there is no ethnic case for separatism there. As to self-determination, when the donbass oblasts voted to join ukraine, they accepted to be governed under the ukranian constitution, which does not allow oblast to unilaterally secede. Honestly, I'm not even eastern european, but it is abundantly clear that the donbass, you.mean lugansk/donetzk I assume, has never been either majority ethnic russian nor has a majority of its citizens ever wished to be annexed by the russian federation. I fact checked myself there, and discovered a survey conducted by thevUniversity of bologna, oldest in the world by the way from 2015, which found that 3.4% of south eastern ukraine wished to join the russian federation, which explains a lot about the response of ukranisns to the invasion. I'm happy to provide you with further data, because it is a very important subject and deserves serious attention.

  98. We always had them, but the British public elected governments which weakened and marginalised them.

  99. Eton B. Sunak does have problems in life.

  100. They try to spread their net too wide, and end up diluting the message so much that nobody wants to vote for them.

  101. The people know they aren't normal. There will be a reaction soon.

  102. They represent interests, and those interests collide in party politics, its not pretty, and it's often messy, but it really beats anything else we have yet come up with.

  103. ​ @trevfindley this is the role of the civil service, permanent secretaries and the like, experts, and we have the courts to keep it legal.

  105. They represent the corporations, but thd worst are these milky faced presenters with their anti Union prejudices.

  106. The Tory voters are mainly middle-class. Middle class people don't like working class people having societal influence. They don't think they have a right to it because they are not good enough.

  107. Thatcher said she would unite the country, and look where that got us. A neo-con wet dream.

  108. Wonderful. She isn't resigning. The tory party will be annihilated. She has absolutely no self-awareness, looks like bride of chucky, and has a weird voice. Comedy gold!

  109. Sunak got money from the rentiers association for his failed leadership contest with the lettuce.

  111. Want to know what brexit was for. Look at changes in labour law legislation. Working class brexit voters, you are traitors to your class.

  112. They would get the PR people to work on him. Kinnock talked like this once, but they turned him into a wishy washy type, and his persuasive power and personality went with it.

  113.  @JayJay5244  being able to use a smart phone probably means you are too intelligent to fall for that idiocy.

  122.  @branthall1787  so you think the tories help the working classes?

    1
  141. ​ @alexf4379  serious question. Do you regard the miami herald and the Washington Post as part of the mainstream media?, and the reason I'm asking is because they exposed nixon, Clinton and Prince Andrew by determined investigative journalism.

  142. ​ @MalcolmKennard-cr6wc exposed by the mainstream media, like nixon, Clinton and Prince Andrew.
