The end is very close now but I've known him so long I knew he wouldn't want to just sit on a drip in the hospital.

Life is for living even at the very end ♥️

Typical hysterical shouty response from Malone, with no experience of the problems and unprepared to listen to any point of view other than her own. Zacks point those already addicted to hard drugs need to be treated as patients by the NHS rather than criminalised.

Street smart and a refreshing change from career machine politicians

Completely agree.

He keeps his cool and still manages to get his point across. I think its down to practice?

He talks to so many people. Both allies and opponents. Media talking heads and people on the street.

I love the way Zack keeps his cool and just bats the balls effectively meanwhile the paid RW talking head Malone dissolves into a hissy fit 😂

Starmers red line of no CU/SM really precludes any really useful progress. To my knowledge the new reset is to reduce checks on food standards and we accept the EU standards. Common sense yes but not really useful for other exports & imports.

I know but it could be done in steps first essential step to help our exports & imports would be to join SM/CU. Theresa May`s first Brexit included SM/CU but was rejected by both sides leavers thought it was not a proper brexit and remainers didn`t want any brexit at all 🙄

In general I have no beef with Sadiq he has been pretty good for London but the Labour leadership is so far right of the party now. Labour MP`s need to wake up and smell the coffee they are going to be culled if they keep Starmer.

Proposing to join CU/SM whatever the time scale would be an immediate boost to UK PLC.I think you overestimate the difficulties the western EU countries are in favour of the UK rejoining. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Western Europeans would support the UK rejoining the EU | YouGov

But not on the terms that we had before we left

Some thoughts on Zach Polanski turning out to be rather good at this politics lark.

1. By raising issues like wealth tax, and Brexit, he has not so much shifted the Overton Window, as re-opened the awkward loo window that over-looked the garden, but has been rusted shut for the last decade

The arrogance of them believing their huge majority was anything but the result of #GTTO

Gar_eth @garmobile.bsky.social · 1d

I think Labour belatedly realised that for their whole first year they have been barking up the wrong tree pandering to RW brexiteers & corporate interests like Water companies Market solutions indeed🙄
Too late so sad too Bad voting Green.
