@mrjamesob.bsky.social why now? Because she and Starmer are backed into a corner, as we said they would be. The B word banned until they run out of other excuses .. they are both utterly DISINGENUOUS and take thinking members of the electorate for fools.
Disingenuous & lacking in political courage

No immigrant caused hikes in the price of energy, water, food, banking, insurance, internet; decline of manufacturing, lack of social housing; PFI; potholed roads; climate change; lack of skilled labour; crisis at universities.

Neoliberalism did that

Why is Labour not countering Reform narratives?
Why the reshuffle alone won’t change the government’s fortunes
"For better electoral fortunes, the government needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Starmer must call Musk out, he must declare the speech inciteful and make it clear that should Musk set foot in the UK he will be questioned by the Police.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social agree with your assessment of farmers inheritance tax changes .. however the changes re pension pots in 2027 is another matter completely and as the date approaches millions will realise that THIS is the THE tax raid of the century

@mrjamesob.bsky.social sorry James you (The Times) are way off base re Australian men … my daughter and SIL emigrated to WA but came back to UK to raise children due to extreme Misogyny (and racist) behaviours. It’s absolutely rife! Far worse than UK.

Labour's Heidi Alexander gaslighting the country, suggesting the UK-EU reset, UK-India deal, and UK-US-tariff deal will somehow help economic growth

The fundamental flaw with this Labour government is its denial of certain truths. Brexit is battering the economy, but they'll never say it. Gaza is brutal ethnic cleansing, but they'll never say it. Instead, they'll double down on defending their dishonest version of reality at all costs.

Brexit is costly, chaotic & complicated.
Wouldn't it be so much simpler/wiser to join the single market & customs union, or go the whole hog & reclaim our place in the EU?

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board.

That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference.

Bending over for Farage puts the BBC in the gutter with the Daily Mail. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

I will always stand with Sangita.

She is not only a talented journalist but a lovely person. How she has been treated by both LBC and her former colleagues, is utterly abominable.

She can’t speak about what happened (it’s not what they claimed) and they would very likely know she is restricted.
🚨 A statement:

Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

This really can’t be pointed out enough
“They (Reform UK) voted against
•stronger SSP
• the right to guaranteed hours
• protection from unfair dismissal
• stronger protections for pregnant mothers
• a package worth £600 for poorest workers.. We’re backing British workers, they vote against them at every turn”

Indeed .. cannot vote for them again
STARMER HAS A DEATH WISH!

He’s decided to ignore the majority and to carry on pissing people off.

What he fails to understand is that his position is redeemable - just. Reverse his cock-ups and rejoin the SM & CU and he may be forgiven. He won’t, so it’s bye bye #Labour
