@MrHarryCole The Tories trying this agreement was one between two real governments.
This is not the same thing. This is two parties agreeing that, if in government, they could. Bardella is not an official, he is a candidate and an MEP.
@KeyworkerMan@tomorrowsmps Headline: "Kemi rejects wets"
You: "Full of wets"
Either you didn't read the headline, or you can't be bothered to tell the truth- neither reflect particularly well...
@ThatNukemGuy@MrJimmyGlitter1 Was it antagonistic? Sure.
Does it justify violence? No. They've committed battery.
Unless you're willing to apply the same standard of "unwise decisions" to other crimes, you have to condemn the violence of these particular pride-goers.
@mynameisedd@DaveHill If this was the only thing he campaigned on, you would have a case to make.
This is the pull for the outer boroughs, and it's a strong one at that. The other boroughs will have different focuses.
@ryanopines Unfortunate timing is possible, she's enthusiastic and energetic, but you also can't have a caretaker Chancellor. You can't swap the role just 4 months in- it's too important.
Griffith isn't a 2nd choice either, he's the only MP to be a FTSE100 exec, he knows growth.
@TheMurkyDepths It actually is important for outer London. It is still a major vote-driver, especially in areas which could otherwise go in the direction of Reform.
@jasongdal2009 In saying that you are implying that:
1) You don't think Ukraine support is important
2) You agree Labour is failing on migration
3) You won't support the deportation of illegals
4) You don't really care about British PoWs from Ukraine...
Not a sparkling redoubt for you, Jason.
@ryanopines I don't think it's a very strange choice. As you say, she's on maternity leave until the New Year, she's had a difficult pregnancy by all accounts.
@jasongdal2009 I notice, as well, that you didn't address the point of Khan and Livingston being careerists.
Is that now not a problem, or is it only a problem when a senior reserve officer does it?
@jasongdal2009 Election isn't per se a metric of success. In some areas, a crow would win so long as it had the right rosette.
If public opinion matters for success, as you said it does, ULEZ is a massive failure in successive boroughs- including multiple where 'blade runners' are still active
@3RCM1964@PolitlcsUK@Telegraph@KemiBadenoch@TomTugendhat Correct a guy when ChatGPT lies to him, and he blocks you for the trouble!
What will I do without his 'expert' screenshots of wrong assumptions! A great loss, I'm sure.
@3RCM1964@PolitlcsUK@Telegraph@KemiBadenoch@TomTugendhat 1) ChatGPT is your source, laughable lack of rigour
2) This doesn't record abstentions, it records 'no vote recorded' which can be anything from them being in their constituency (excluding Nigel) to them being on the moon
3) About half of that list are avowed dries...
@59W00dy59 It could be a good one though.
If even the most high profile MP of the liberal wing turn around and says, as he will have to, "we WILL leave the ECHR", it could do wonders to show that the party is behind necessary changes.
@3RCM1964@PolitlcsUK@Telegraph@KemiBadenoch@TomTugendhat Badenoch is banning wets, including influential ones, from standing.
Farage bends over backwards for Yusuf daily.
Reformers don't get to complain about strong leadership.
@gerryallan1967 "If more people voted for us, we'd do better"
How about you be better so those people to vote for you?
Reform are going down in the polls because they're being incompetent. Struggling in councils, can't control their MPs, Zia is in constant coup-readiness, Farage's scandals...
@SBarrettBar A by-election win in a council seat not up since 2023 isn't proof of Reform's national potential.
You're a barrister, so your career is based in seeing a full range of facts and selecting which ones seem better for your case.
