  1. She's a very, very long way from Marxist. Barely even a mild socialist
    32
  2. Completely agree. Build an MP's hotel for those who are based further away and need accommodation when they visit parliament

  3. Cleverly isn't the bottom of the barrel, he's the slug underneath the barrel

  4. He's not talking sense though. British steel has been propped up by the tax payer for decades. They have only been making a very limited range of grades and sections for a very long time now, you couldn't build ships with what they make. To make steel we have to rely on imported coke and imported iron ore, manganese, silicon, phospherous and nickel. Jobs were lost but they need to be replaced with jobs which don't require billions per year from the tax payer

  5. Most unions don't

  6.  @nancyfox64  Can I suggest you also look up the amount given in subsidies to incredibly profitable oil & gas producers?

  7. She's not wrong on this one. We need ALL corporate money out of politics. Our politicians should be working for us, not the businesses and billionaires who buy their influence
    6
  8. I honestly don't think they want to win. Surely they could do better if they wanted to
    6
  9. So you agree Farage should never be PM? He has German citizenship. Similarly, Boris and Sunak both had US citizenship
    6
  10. Principle? Remember when he said that MP's shouldn't have second jobs because serving the country should be a full time occupation? I fully agree with that, absolute sense but it soon went out the window when GB News offered him big money didn't it?

  11. Rather hypocritical of tories to have a melt down over this when it's a watered down version of Sunak's vapes and smoking bill
    5
  12.  @soot.2146  British Steel have only made basic structural grades for years, it's no different to Chinese steel (I work with it)
    5
  13.  @NMaxne  Can you explain how the policies of Kamala Harris fit with Marx's manifesto? I don't actually believe Trump's supporters are in general fascists. Some are (but so are some of Harris's) but the majority are not.

  14. It's holding up the remains of the bridge and the risk of further damage to the ship is pretty high. If that ship sinks, everything gets a lot more complicated

  15. I'm a white, middle class, middle age straight man. I am still very much in the majority. To be honest though, I really couldn't care less if I weren't. I prefer to judge people as individuals rather than judge them on colour or religion
    4
  16. Who was in power when this mess built up and nothing was done about it? Years for the tories, three weeks for Labour
    4
  17. He'd be with Russia. Absolutely no question
    4
  18. Without any real evidence of any of it. He's just another ex junkie conspiracy theorist

  19. We had a pandemic response team which Boris chose to disband shortly before covid struck despite him accepting that a pandemic was likely the biggest future threat to the UK. Not long before covid he had SARS and MERS outbreaks so it wasn't unprecedented
    3
  20. It's a watered down version of Sunak's smoking and vaping bill which was supported by all but 57 tory MP's. Where was the outrage then?
    3
  21. We need the tory party to go back to being the tory party. Drop the culture war nonsense and concentrate on conservative economic policy. They can never win as a Reform tribute act
    3
  22. Lets see how many times this scheme can fail
    3
  23. It was investigated (again) and there was nothing in it (again). It was pretty obvious there was nothing in it when the MP who demanded the investigation wouldn't say interviews what crime he was accusing her of
    3
  24. If you knew about Farage's past, you'd have expected this. He has past form for doing exactly the same in Brexit party and UKIP. This is why Labour have never been afraid of Reform, they knew this was coming
    3
  25. Trump fans seem to forget that Trump was a friend of Epstien, described him as a "great guy" and flew Epstein airways a number of times
    3
  26.  @jabbadabbajew6035  Can you cite one of her policies which is communist? How does it fit in with Marx's manifesto?
    3
  27. We need an election for that and currently, it looks extremely unlikely that we'll be having one for at least four years. The problem with Farage is he keeps saying "return them to France" but how do we do that? How long do you think it'll be before France starts taking action against vessels landing without permission? What we need is for the Calais asylum center to re-open so that we can turn away people who shouldn't get asylum and don't have the complication of deportation
    3
  28. Yes. Plenty of them are currently in cells as well. First ones due in court tomorrow
    3
  29.  @jackoniel7864  No, he opposed an incredibly expensive and pointless scheme
    3
  30. It's a strange tradition in America to call ex-presidents Mr President. They'd address Obama or Bush or Clinton or Reagan in the same way
    3
  31. Thats just not going to happen. The only way he can be removed is if more than 100 of his own MP's call a vote of no confidence and that's never happening
    3
  32.  @richardlongmore9301  Just remember that there's an awful lot of people who despise both Trump and Biden
    3
  33. Nothing like it

  34. They didn't get to the end of the road, the pot holes caused the wheels to fall off

  35. Not any more. She's talking about scrapping statutory maternity leave, the minimum wage and stopping free at point of service treatment on the NHS. I think she may have realised that whoever wins the leadership now will never be prime minister so she's trying to lose so she can have another go in a few years when she'd have a chance at being PM

  36. Maybe you could take it to the ECHR

  37. Don't be daft. Smokers are very much a minority these days. Will they all stay at home while their non smoking mates are out? Are they that sad and hopeless that they can't survive without smoking? All they've got to do is stand outside the pubs premises to have a smoke. They survive when it's freezing and raining in the winter and they have to go outside alone don't they?

  38.  @sherpa003  British culture is all imported anyway. Christianity was a middle eastern religion brought here by the Romans. Our music is very heavily inspired by the Americans and before that it was inspired by Austro-Hungarian classical. Our Royal Family are German. Halloween is American. The traditional Sunday roast doesn't contain a single native food. Fish & chips use potatoes originally brought from America. Our language is evolved from a mix of Saxon and Latin and evolving to include Americanisms. Our favourite takeaway is Indian but mostly adapted to British tastes, Chinese takeaways are similar. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Black Sabbath, Shakin Stevens and many others ripped off plenty of American musicians. Our population has seen huge numbers of celtic, norse, saxon, Norman and African incomers over many thousands of years. I had a DNA test a few years back and was surprised to learn I have moroccan links in my DNA yet I'm so white I need factor 50 on a cloudy day! Culture is not a static thing. It changes just like it always has.

  40.  @nosferatudavies8836  Poll tax would have taken more from the elderly (adjusted for inflation)
    2
  41. Do you believe the Labour party, who are in favour of LGBT rights are also in favour of sharia law which is completely incompatible with those LGBT rights?
    2
  42. The choice is £60bn of exports to the US or £170bn of exports to the EU.

  43. I should imagine she has a passport. She's not got any criminal record to prevent her entering the country
    2
  44. Protect the gingers
    2
  45. If Starmer was controlled by muslims, then surely they would put a stop to his pro lgbt and anti climate change policies wouldn't they? Muslims are against both those things
    2
  46. All of them if you are entitled to free school meals for your kids. If you receive any benefits then you are entitled

  47. Not all of them donate to Labour, less than half of them do.
    2
  48. I get the feeling this defection is mostly about punishing Sunak
    2
  49. They'll be gone for maybe a decade and then realise that they need to move back to the center and ditch the culture wars in favour of concentrating on sensible economics
    2
  50. Spain and Greece have air conditioning in many homes and almost every business place and public building
    2
  51.  @MrDwright550  All they did was tell him he had to move to a standard Natwest bank account. He no longer qualified for the account he had so they offered him another one. Whats wrong with that? If the bank had done anything worn Farage would be suing them, he has past for for doing so. If Farage is telling the truth he has a very good case against them and the potential for a decent payout and a public apology. Lets see him put his money where his mouth is, then I'll believe him
    2
  52. Funny how the accusations against her went quiet isn't it? Almost as if there's nothing in it
    2
  53. Useless waste of space would be a huge improvement over the current lot. For me, the fact that they've spent the last 14 years making themselves and their mates considerably richer from our money and have sold off our public services (we owned them) with no benefit to us means they have to go no matter what other wise it's like staying with an abusive partner just because there might be someone worse out there
    2
  54.  @michaelsrowland  What have the tories made better in the last 14 years? Name one thing which is better now than it was under Labour
    2
  55. The regulation which ensures everyone has a right to a bank account already exists BUT it's an EU regulation so it's one of the EU regulations that Farage want's scrapped. A touch ironic
    2
  56. There's no point rushing. Labour have such a big majority that the tories can't effectively oppose anything
    2
  57. The tories seem to be determined to become the Reform Party. The problem with that is we've already got a party who are REALLY good at being Reform so the tories can only be a Reform tribute act and no one wants that. They need to offer something different. At the moment, no one is offering conservative economics without the culture war nonsense. Thats where there tories should be. Culture wars only benefit Reform, it's what got Reform where they are and it didn't benefit the tories at all

  58. Why would an islamic party be supporting pro lgbt & trans policies? Doesn't really add up does it?

  59. It generates money in tourism and tv broadcast rights.

  60. She's not standing in the next election

  61. The PM is the man at the top. If he didn't have the right advisors then it's up to him to make sure they are replaced. Even then, advisors only advise. The actual decision is made by the PM. Since the leader of the opposition was pressuring for earlier and shorter lockdowns, that suggests that another PM could quite likely have done things differently.
    1
  62. Depends whether they turn up to parliament. Reforms MPs have the lowest average attendance of any party.
    1
  63. I wonder how many of the British Trump supporters have seen Trump's latest economic proposal, a universal 10% import tarrifs on all imported goods. That will include the UK so is potentially very bad for us since we were relying on Trump giving the UK free trade. He's effectively said he will screw us if he gets in to power
    1
  64. He's backed himself in to a corner here. Farage will have to sue Coutts or face his supporters forever asking why he didn't. If he's telling the truth, then he has a solid case against them
    1
  65. Labour MP's all either abstained or voted against this bill. The tories had an 80 seat majority, they didn't need anyone elses help to pass it
    1
  66.  @notjustforhackers4252  No, none of the Labour MP's voted for it. Even quite a few tory MP's voted against it which is why it took three attempts to get it through

  67. Yeah but they've written their pledges on the side of a bus......

  68. He can't have one if he doesn't exist
    1
  69. Cutting immigration? It's going up. I thought immigrants were all on the dole according to tories, they can't be on the dole and stealing jobs
    1
  70. @@garethhenshaw The polls suggest that Labour are on for a huge win. There's currently no other effective opposition. Lib dems will never be forgiven for being Camerons bitch Greens only have a couple policies other than the environment Reform still haven't published a single policy and only seem interested in migration. They also seemed to support Truss's budget which crashed the economy
    1
  71. Labour have been in power for three months after fourteen years of tory leadership. Who do you think created this mess? Who decided to close the Calais asylum center and start the boat crossing problem? Who then decided to just leave them in hotels and not process them? The problem is not Labour, not yet anyway
    1
  72. Andrew Tate has never been right
    1
  73. Farage has past form for this in UKIP and Brexit party, He's booted out popular member who were building power and reported them to police for violence or abuse of some kind. Farage has always been a slime ball
    1
  74. Why do people talk about "the muslim vote"? Generally, muslims don't vote. They have a really low voter turn out, mostly because no one represents them. Labour are too liberal, tories and reform are anti immigrant and lib dems are asleep
    1
  75. I's a major tourist attraction for the city. It makes a profit. If you want to see a waste of money in London, take a look at Boris's £1.5bn garden bridge to nowhere
    1
  76. If Biden has any balls, he'll start the process to scrap the presidential pardon but do it so that he also doesn't have it, that way he's avoids any accusations of hypocrisy. It shouldn't exist anyway. The US booted out the British monarch but for some reason kept the royal pardon. It shouldn't happen, no one should be beyond the law and I don't care whether they're republican, democrat, nazi, communist or f*****g jedi. Anyone who breaks the law should be punished
    1
  77. Jenrick's strategy is all wrong and will never win an election. Why make reform voters the big target when you lost a far greater number of seats to Lib Dems? It's a stupid strategy which cannot work unless we have electoral reform first
    1
  78. There's absolutely no evidence for your theory. These were people living in poverty so an old, second hand, faulty appliance doesn't seem unlikely at all
    1
  79. It's a prime ministers job to meet other world leader and attend global summits, that's how relationships are built and trade agreements made. MP's on the other hand are employed to serve their constituencies. If Farage is too busy to hold surgeries in his constituency then he shouldn't have taken the job. When you are paid to do a job, you do it whether you like it or not
    1
  80. Not a single mention of the cost of living crisis or inflation. Just vague promises for "change"
    1
  81. Thoughts and prayers for the gingers
    1
  82. How much was spent by tourists and Londoners out for the celebration?
    1
  83. It already exists. It's just different police forces supplying officers to each other

  84.  @johnfisher7587  Do you disagree with free speech? Ask yourself this, if there was a protest for something you believe in and someone, say Donald Trump decided to speak at that protest, would you disapprove? Did you disapprove of Nigel Farage speaking at anti Biden events in the US? I will never argue against anyone protesting anything whether I agree with them or not because in doing so I am arguing against my own right to protest

  85. Lighter touch but they closed their borders and reacted faster rather than waiting to respond to rising cases
    1
  86. And how much did your house cost relative to your salary? I bought for the first time in the early 90'swhen rates were approaching 10% and a 2 bedroom house cost me the equivalent of 3 years wages and I was only a welder, not a stock broker. Now a person working in that same job would need to spend around 9 times their annual pay to buy the same house

  88. Starmer is personally quite unpopular but the Labour party itself is currently very popular, especially with the under's age groups.
    1
  89. That's easy to tell. Was it written using the blood of Putins political opponents or crayon?
    1
  90. I personally can't wait to "go back to square one". I can't believe he was promoting Labour as a way out of the tory mess
    1
  91. @keithsaville6091 Is it selfish to punish the PM who has let the country down?
    1
  92. A man of the people like Farage can't use the same banking service as normal people
    1
  93. I'm in the center. I like some things he's doing and I dislike some things. Pretty average really. The only reason I can see that the right wing media is losing their minds is that their side isn't in power
    1
  94. I'd much rather Corby but the choice we have is Starmer or Sunak and to me it seems that Starmer is by far the less bad of the two
    1
  95. I think that Reform have tied themselves too close to the Trump government. We'll be effectively ruled by Trump and Musk if we vote for Reform and that's a very bad thing
    1
  96. You know Farage has dual citizenship with Germany?
    1
  97. That would depend on the price
    1
  98. Those at the top don't need to be experts in anything other than management BUT they do need to have experts heading up technical departments. I work in a company which employs civil and mechanical engineers as well as scientists, architects as well as accountants and sales people etc. No single CEO can be an expert in all of those fields which is why they put experts at the head of each department and take their advice and under UK law, they are legally responsible if they don't take that advice. If they suddenly decide we can make foundation piles from plasticine and overrule everyone else then the CEO goes to prison when it fails and kills people
    1
  99. Do you not think councils are short of money because they no longer have rental income? That used to be their biggest source of money and now it's all but gone
    1
  100.  @MrDwright550  Farage had been offered a standard Natwest account so it's not like they were leaving him without an account. There is actually a regulation which guarantees every adult the right to a bank account, ironically, it's one of the retained EU regulations which Farage is campaigning to have scrapped. Maybe he should reconsider his calls to scrap all EU regulations without a case by case review
    1
  101. But he's too far to the right for mass voter appeal that they'd need to win an election. Economically, he's where Liz Truss was and amongst the whole electorate, she's deeply unpopular
    1
  102. Yes he's a sell out but I think he realised that he has to win over the middle ground voters to win an election. Staying to the right of the tories and putting everything in to being anti immigration will limit potential voters. They need those tory voters who moved to liberal democrats (they exist, lib dems made big gains last election)
    1
  103.  @lesliescottw  No he wasn't. He sent the prosecutors away to strengthen their case which would have failed in court. Go and read about it
    1
  104. Trump has shown clear support for overtly racist groups (proud boys and neo nazis and kkk). I'd say that implies he's a racist
    1
  105. Thats because it was James Cleverly who started this process.
    1
  106. It was the media who decided on Huw Edwards and I seem to remember it was the Express, Sun, GB News, Talk TV etc who were all over that story but now it's one of their own it's all "innocent until proven guilty"

  107. British steel has been propped up by the tax payer for decades. They have only been making a very limited range of grades and sections for a very long time now, you couldn't build ships with what they make.

Jobs were lost but they need to be replaced with jobs which don't require billions per year from the tax payer

  108. The illegal migration bill is pointless. It's been proven it won't work and it'll be defeated the first time it's challenged in the courts. Labours plan to re-open the Calais asylum office makes far more sense. With that re-opened we don't have to accommodate anyone, there's no point crossing the channel and no one steps foot in the UK unless already accepted. It's the system we used to have, it was far more effective than anything since and Boris was an idiot to close it. He was warned it would lead to exactly this situation
