@unlit_uplands This wake-up call will only come when it’s too late!
As long as immigration and xenophobic rhetoric serve right-wing populists by fueling the fears of an uninformed population, they will continue to exploit them.
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves claim to be looking everywhere for opportunities for growth but are ignoring the solution right under their noses.
A new UK-EU Customs Union would turbocharge our economy, tearing down the trade barriers holding British businesses back.
'Having a conversation about this without mentioning Brexit would be like trying to make a sandwich without bread.'
James O’Brien believes polarisation is not 'a left/right thing' as much as 'people believing things that are true and people believing things that are not true'.
These scenes from yesterday in London make me feel deeply ashamed.
Nationalism is a scourge on society, a plague which was unleashed by Brexit.
Nationalism is based on myths/lies and fantasy and it threatens democracy and spreads hate.
Carol Vorderman, "The Tufton street mob.. Why are they on TV as independent political voices?"
"They are opaquely funded.. The BBC has all this stuff about impartiality.. But it's nonsense.. Because here's somebody from the Centre for Policy Studies, or the IEA, the Tax alliance.. You're platforming these people and their views"
"And what you find on social media is that everyone is calling it out, and that's where the mistrust escalates"
'If you think I exaggerate when I tell you that brain-dead right-wing mouthpieces are dedicated to making you angry about things that you shouldn't even care about...'
@mrjamesob reacts to a front-page story on Keir Starmer removing a portrait of Margaret Thatcher.
Carol Vorderman, "Still today I can't get over how deferential we are to certain politicians who are a disgrace"
"Kwasi Kwarteng was on GMB this morning.. Chatting about the newspapers.. What?!?"
"You crashed the economy mate.. You went off from the House of Commons to a drinks party with billionaires"
"And yet he's there as though this is perfectly normal"
"So I'm not surprised by people watching that going: hang on you're trying to tell me that I should accept him as a valid voice now? Sorry, I'm off to social media"
Our country needs to hear this right now…
This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell
Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred
…and we need our leaders to follow suit.
Laura Kuenssberg having a pop at Labour for being slow to turn around the tanker of 14 years of Tory mismanagement, EIGHTEEN DAYS into a new government!
BBC Tory bias is ridiculous. Kuenssberg is an object of ridicule. She HAS to go.
"Who were the last two politicians sacked for being awful? Suella Braverman and Suella Braverman."
"I told you didn't I? That we were going to start saying things out loud and then go 'that can't have happened' but it happened!" @mrjamesob points out.
One important points that the panel is missing regarding the share of the vote and specifically the speculation of low share of #Labour is #TacticalVoting#C4BritainDecides
The Tories have fucked this country.
They've gutted the NHS, tanked the education system and made most of us poorer while their mates have got richer.
Vote tactically.
Get them out.
And never let these shitweasels near power again.
#GeneralElection2024
This polls has the Conservatives winning in Clacton, just ahead of Reform. Labour voters in this seat could keep Farage out of Parliament if they voted tactically.
