I have a keen interest in current affairs. I am passionately anti-Brexit and have a distinct dislike of those with extreme right wing views. I am generally to be found in the middle ground, with a tilt to the left on occasions.

He is a deluded clown and a dangerous one at that.

Farage apparently suffers from selective amnesia.

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

We in NI remained in the SM and people appear to have got their heads around it. All the moaners have ran out of steam.

The problem is that the Government is crapping itself out of fear of Farage.

They are still pandering to the Red Wall.

JD Vance is a political illiterate. He hasn't a clue how politics works.

Only people of a certain vintage in the UK will remember this. Trump is the political equivalent of Yosser Hughes. While Yosser's plea was "Gizza Job", Trump's is "Gizza Prize" #NobelPeacePrize #Trump

The term 'arse hole' could have been devised with Vance in mind.

I doubt if Jenrick is even taken seriously in his own household. Badenoch beat him in the leadership contest, let that sink in.

Trump has waged war of his own nation. I hope those who voted for him are feeling proud of themselves. 😞

Outside of MAGA ranks he is regarded as the circus clown.

Strip away Brexit from Farage and he will be stark naked in terms of political achievement. He is largely responsible for the greatest own goal ever.

The Tories really have plummeted to unprecedented depths. She would struggle to lead a poddle.

gerardcassidy @gerardcassidy.bsky.social · 23d

Badenoch could have captained the Titanic. She has certainly sunk the Tories.

Everything else is just symptoms. Brexit is the root cause of our problems. We cannot treat the symptoms without first rectifying the cause.

I am not even an Arsenal fan but unbridled joy is hard to resist.

It was definitely their lucky day.

The absolute cheek of her trying to claim the high moral ground.

Farage is just basically the circus clown. He hasn't what it takes to be a ringmaster.

He has been playing a long game.

Have they preempted the judgement with an application to go into administration?

gerardcassidy @gerardcassidy.bsky.social · 24d

Farage is not Teflon after all. Starmer is aiming at an open goal

If ever there was someone who upholds his political principles, it is Bernie Sanders

Well done the UK Government. Cronyism was the central plank of the Tory approach to the pandemic. #CovidContracts #Covid #Tories
