I do find the condescension towards Burnham from much of the British political establishment both striking and funny. He’s actually one of the most experienced incoming PMs we’ve had, about which much is known. You’d think all he’d ever done was run a parish council.
@RyanDavidLowe @niall_gooch Everyone hired to be on these the “rest is XXX” podcasts all seem to share a similar worldview….cant quite put my finger on it.
Watched the entire thing and you’re still wrong. Zelenskyy was clearly on edge and combative but he’s been in a war for 3 years. JD and Trump on best read either have zero empathy or on worst did this by design to humiliate Z. The fact you can’t see this is worrying. I’m not sure I want to watch Z ingratiate and supine himself to Trump like Starmer and Macron have done. Time to make a stand, if you lose a few subs at least you did it for the right reasons, KK.
@maw6578 @lewis_goodall@wesstreeting@thefabians Nailed it. Progressivism is euphenistic cover for Socialism / warmed up Marxism. I hope it isn't too late for UK to be saved from this "light".
Trump is set to block Britain’s inane plan to cede the militarily-vital Chagos Islands. The deal is one of the most inane acts of statecraft in modern times. We live in a nation whose strategic interests are better served by The White House than Downing St https://t.co/mMlsKjuEtY
@lewis_goodall US about leave UK for dead with the new administration. At least more dead than it was before (and UK is pretty dead). Socialists always lose.
Thanks for the reply. I do genuinely respect the work that you do and think you are one of the “good ‘uns”.
1) Left-leaning (likely Labour supporting) and elitist corporate media types that give soft ball interviews to - for example, Louise Haigh and Owen Jones, run cover for Hew Edwards and then joke about / demonise Trump, Musk, Truss (albeit she is pretty silly) and anyone that remotely challenges leftist / mainstream orthodoxy. Wiped out in the sense that establishment parties (mainly Labour as victim of its own 2024 success) and anyone that supports it will be eviscerated at next election given how quickly electorate is realigning
2) You are pretty smart so I don’t think I need to tell you but since you asked: the network of rape gangs (some of which operated in your own home town!) and cover up by media and government (Tories as guilty as Labour) over past few decades. While we’re here: Phillipson attempting to destroy England’s education system, Miliband’s barmy green crusade that will make us all poorer and Reeves ruining our farmers and tanking the economy/sterling - I think all of these deserve your journalistic attention much more than an Elon response to POTUS Elect on this platform
