Voted Labour all my long life. Had many political "discussions" as a Leftie living in Torytown but I really don't feel I can argue Labour's case anymore. Politics on both sides of the pond is so depressing and exhausting 😩

Although the audience on last week's Question Time had absolutely no interest in the fact that the Welsh Reform leader has admitted taking bribes from Russia. None of this is cutting through. 🙄

America is so f🤬cked up and Farage wants that here in the UK.

No, you're the made up bollocks bot

I haven't visited Berlin so can't comment but to my mind, London is the best city in the world for all the reasons you stated. It's my happy place.

R4today this morning sickening. Nick Robinson saying that if Trump ran for PM of Israel tomorrow he would win. While I am over the moon that the hostages on both sides are being released and fighting has ceased (for now) let's not forget that Trump could have done this a lot sooner.

Because our flag has been weaponised. The people hanging flags up lampposts are not doing it because they love England but to intimidate people of colour.

I live in Essex and since I added the line "Reform supporters need not apply" to my dating profile, I've had no new likes. I think I need to move, but where to? Scotland?

How the 🤬 are Reform going to find 326 candidates who haven't beaten their wives, made racist and sexist comments online, had to resign from their previous jobs for incompetence or taken money from Russia? The BBC and others need to do their jobs and investigate not bang a drum for Fartage.

So they didn't just blow it out of the water killing everyone on board. Our military are so woke.

Thanks for the warning. I won't bother watching today (just like I haven't watched it since kuenssberg took over)

I expect Trump will be the first person to phone and congratulate her.

I'm amazed Fartage has kept his job full stop!

I'm a proud Brit but when I see a St George cross on a lamppost it makes me feel physically sick. This is what these racist scumbags are doing to this country, making us ashamed of our own flag.

So half the money saved from public spending will be given in tax cuts. I don't want a tax cut, I want a functional NHS, Police on the streets, proper funding of mental health and social care, decent schools, roads without potholes. If you want these things too, they have to be 🤬 paid for

I loved Eddie on the BBC back when BBC news programmes were trustworthy and unbiased.

Fincky McFinck Face @finckymcfinckface.bsky.social · 9d

So you're only British if your skin is white? So sailors who came from India to work for East India Co in 18th century and sailors from Pakistan area in 17th century are not British, so Windrush generation who came to rebuild the country after WW2 aren't British. I could go on. He has no idea.

There's lots of things they COULD do. There's also lots of things they didn't do and will never get the chance to do again as they slide into oblivion.

But they're the loud minority. The majority of Reform voters r just dissatisfied people who want someone 2 blame. They don't read the news & don't see themselves as racist, after all they've got a black friend! People being grabbed off the streets by the thousands is a whole different ball game.

Fincky McFinck Face @finckymcfinckface.bsky.social · 10d

Is that someone specific they have a grudge against's house or have they just pissed all over some random person's house and hedge?

The press won't talk about Nathan Gill's treasonous bribe taking from RUSSIA because it will draw attention to Fartage's treasonous links to RUSSIA. Press reform needed NOW before we end up in the same dystopian nightmare as the USA.

Fincky McFinck Face @finckymcfinckface.bsky.social · 10d

My mum, who's not political but watches the news at least once a day, knew nothing about Nathan Gill's treasonous bribe taking from RUSSIA. Why, because the Reform loving press in this country don't want to bring attention to Farage's links to Russia so are burying the story.

BadEnoch talking about UK ICE. Does she really think that's a vote winner when, every day we see what is happening in America? I think even the casually racist average Brit, who thinks they're not racist, just patriotic, would baulk at that.

I'm not sure if it's a bad thing, Reform councillors being elected. It gives the voters nearly 4 years to see what lying incompetent grifters they are. There's no way Fartage will be able to field enough decent candidates to win 326 seats.
