  1. ​@veggie42 but they only tolerated Anderson while he was useful and stayed in his place They never actually respected him

  2.  @elizaann1888  we could look after our own people, if the Tories didn't waste so much money looking after their chums

  3. Thatcher is hated for what she did, rather than just for existing...

  4. ​ @rorschach3397 but if billionaires exist, you won't be able to afford a home, as the billionaire will outbid you. They can own it and rent it to you instead!

  5. ​ @obajuluwaoluwatomisin3883 If I crashed the economy, I would expect it to be part of the public discourse around me If she doesn't want to be a public figure, she needs to stop appearing at public events!

  6.  @dianeshelton9592  MPs who may have been looking at the growing tally on that petition 😁
    17
  7.  @tonygange7636  we are staying because we love our country and won't let the people trying to turn us into Zimbabwe on Thames get away with it

  8. ​ @kevinb9830  he quit of his own accord already!
    16
  9. for bonus amusement, he represents the seat of Braintree...
    16
  10. @Nick  even if you agree with what he says, you have to acknowledge Lee is far more confrontational than most. He's the opposite of a diplomat
    16
  11. ​ @chrisj9700 large swathes of regulatory and economic policy. Nominally such things are decided in cooperation, but in practice America says "jump" and Canada politely jumps
    16
  12.  @austinbeige  America has a decent government for the moment, but the attacks on democracy are far from over Whereas in the UK right now, I can genuinely see the Tories (and especially the extreme wing of the Tories) being discredited for a very long time. Their support base is crumbing

  13. It could stop being political, the moment nobody questions equal rights If the people moaning about 'politicisation' want the 'politicisation' to stop, just stop hating people. Totally in their hands 😉
    15
  14. ​@clownofthetimes6727 have your wages gone up faster than your costs though?
    15
  15. On a similar grade of doublethink, "the NHS has too much beurocracy, so we should privatise it and add even more administration, billing and shareholders to it!"
    15
  16.  @newblackdog7827  why? We were an influential part of one of the big players on the international stage! Now we are a small island on the outside of everything 🙁
    15
  17. ​ @sonofsomerset1695 Reform want austerity and cuts to services, not many people asking for that...
    15
  18. He's not the first to stand on a beach and refuse to accept the fact the tides coming in, but the tide comes regardless 🙄
    15
  19.  @fontainerouge  and Biden had sane,competent people around him Trump has Musk, Vance, RFK...
    15
  20. and not "it was wrong because it's wrong" - it's wrong because it's a libelous lie that the taxpayer shouldn't have to pay for!
    15
  21. They need to get their mitts off everything , as they are breaking everything 🙁
    14
  22. Race to the bottom. Keep everyone down 🙁
    14
  23. ​@Gerry your food shop must be fun, especially in winter time!
    14
  24. Tories only win when they promise things they can't deliver.This ULEZ example is just the latest example in a very long list
    14
  25.  @jamesberry5578  She asked the official representative of the Conservative party, who the Party put forward specifically to answer questions on the economy Short answer, this is the best expert the Tories had available. How damning is that?
    14
  26. We had one, it exploded
    14
  27. ​ @user-xu5vl5th9n it's weird how Gove hates experts, except for the "experts" who tell him what he wants to hear 🤔
    14
  28. There are no big donors for socialism, that's why it's barely represented in the big political parties
    14
  29. I've already seen people online claiming proud membership of the anti-growth coalition 😁
    14
  30. ​ @Ricky_Baldy  exposed is my preference. Full transparency on who is funding them
    14
  31. @WayT101  growing nicely, thanks for asking 🙂
    14
  32. "We're tired of it being wrecked by neglect, so we've voted for someone who will deliberately torch it for fun"
    13
  33.  @Detector1977  and still some people say "but it would be worse under Labour" They can never tell me exactly how such a thing is possible
    13
  34.  @tonygange7636  The advantage of having people around, is the people. Right now we have more jobs that need doing than we have people able to do those jobs It is fair to ask why we can't house people, and why wages don't cover food and rent. If you own shares though, the dividends are better than ever! Tories look after their own interests, nobody elses
    13
  35. ​ @denzel270 water would only cost that much if we accepted liability for their debt Why should we pay for the debts ran up by private incompetence? Let them go bankrupt like any other incompetent private business Buying the infrastructure would then be about a quarter of the number you estimated
    13
  36.  @terryboland3816  indeed! It's something the UK gave to the rest of Europe. Why abandon a great UK achievement?
    13
  37. ​ @dustyboi8975  I really hope the nurses line backfires soon. It's a confession that nurses are being underpaid!
    13
  38. I am surprised they didn't try and blame tofu again!
    13
  39.  @jamesberry5578  If Labour ever tank the economy, I shall insist Labour are held to the same standard
    13
  40. I am looking at the way people's opinions change as they get older People now get less Tory as they age. Hamilton is a dinosaur who hasn't yet realised he's extinct
    12
  41. @clownofthetimes6727  inflation going down doesn't mean prices go down It means costs still go up, but a bit slower!
    12
  42.  @truthalonetriumphs6572  so you're saying the whole party is a disaster, and we need a General Election Now?
    12
  43. The policy is always meant to fail, so they can justify trying an even more extreme and oppressive one later They will never succeed while they still have more powers left to grab, or constraints left to tear up
    12
  44. I am disappointed in him as an evolutionary biologist to be honest Apparently he only looks at body parts, while completely ignoring behaviour. That's a very narrow view of life!
    12
  45. and wierd that they can find a team of twelve to investigate this case, when they're so short staffed for anything else...
    12
  46. Iain does seem to have had a change of heart recently! Please let's have more of this Iain Dale who doesn't let dumb answers go unchallenged 😁
    12
  47. ​ @paulharris1502 then we need to support every effort to get them on that list, too Taking everyone else off the list isn't the answer!
    12
  48. ​ @Lynnefromlyn  on the "losing jobs", if you are rude or unprofessional to colleagues, clients or customers, that's what happens. You don't get preferential treatment for the "right" kind of rudeness
    12
  49.  @alipanroosendaal9503  what's wrong with that statement? Nothing is indeed a level they have failed to achieve. We would be better off if they had successfully achieved the doing of nothing. It is grammatically and semantically correct, and in capturing an opinion accurately it is objectively correct too
    12
  50.  @EmpiricalMind  That's very unfair. The EU respected every request Boris and Frost made! We could have stayed in the Single Market, but Boris and Frosty said no. The EU respected their request. What's unfair about that?
