Just as well, I’d be completely insufferable if ALL of you women were thinking about sex with me every 7 seconds!

I do think they have genuine concerns which the likes of Farage spin to be about immigration. The problem is that unless the real problems are dealt with quickly the far right will make it about the imaginary problem of immigration. Labour are acting like they have a few decades to fix things.

We can’t stop liars in politics or the media though. And we can’t make people rational or informed if they choose not to be.
What we can do as a country is address their real concerns, cost of living, housing, jobs. Take on the water and energy companies. Tax the rich.

Rightly or wrongly people are concerned about immigration.

We have a story on the BBC about criminal immigrant gangs running minimarts - this is actually a story about the failure to properly legislate business activities in the UK.

Tax the rich. Fix the laws.

We should have the right to hold whatever beliefs we want but there should be no legal requirement for those beliefs not to be ridiculed. Evidence should be the metric for assessing beliefs. Respect for any belief should not be automatic.

It’s time we closed the loophole of tax havens.
Imagine an ordinary PAYE tax paying worker telling the taxman that they wouldn’t be paying taxes because they were getting their wages paid into a foreign bank.

It does feel like Labour are repackaging Reform “policies” in an attempt to stop votes going to Reform.
What they need to do is tackle inequality, profiteering, and corruption by taxing the wealthy and strengthening the law as well as the bodies that enforce it.

Seems US surgeons generals have more balls than US military generals, who are all turning out to be cowards in their country’s hour of need..

Do you think they have confused the words diverse and divisive?!

Bluesky could be considered an anechoic chamber. The noise is filtered.

Non-facts, or “equally valid narratives”, don’t cause the same rabbit hole feedback loop phenomenon that we see on platforms where misplaced rage generates advertising revenue.

Why are our infant mortality rates so low compared to the past? We need to change that…

This attack is a really strong justification for Iran to claim they need nuclear weapons for self defence. Israel would not have attacked a nuclear power in this manner.

In all fairness, Trump didn’t really stumble, he mis-stepped after he shat himself.

That’s because there aren’t enough proud boys on n California. We know they are the proud boys, we can tell by the masks and the lack of discipline.

Yes, I can explain that easily, we had a Conservative government. Conservative ineptitude always hurts the economy.

It’s impossible to be pro-British and anti-European.

We need full access to the single market again. The economy would fly, we’d be far more secure, but in these times sanity is unfashionable so more likely next government will be led by Farage.

The only reason many voters think immigrants are their enemy is that they have been lied to.

Immigrants did not cause low pay or the housing crisis. Politicians caused those with poor policies and planning.

Blaming immigrants doesn’t fix our problems, it grows Reform.

Labour are convinced that correcting Reform or being honest about our need to be in the EU, will cost votes. But the voters Labour are losing are going to Lib Dem’s and Greens because of Labour’s futile pandering to Reform voters.
