@julianHjessop She’s just playing to her base, which will likely be dominated by people who are members of political parties no one votes for. Ms Egan was elected on the basis of a 7% turnout. The hard left needs this level of apathy in order to get elected.
@NormalGayPsych@elonmusk Demonstrators & activists who defend theocracies believe they are showing compassion - with a touch of moral superiority too, of course. They would not be tolerated in theocracies where dissent, apostasy and being gay would lead to imprisonment or worse, but they hate the West?
@RupertLowe10 The benefits system is far too accommodating and needs to be trimmed radically to ensure it cannot be abused easily. The rise in disability benefits is unsustainable. ADHD has grown from around 4,200 PIP primary-condition claimants in 2019 to over 37,000 in 2025.
@SimonCalvert14 This illustrates the disconnect between the views of the political class the general public. It was in their manifesto, however, so should come as no surprise.
@ripx4nutmeg I suspect you could fit BBC Radio 6 Music’s audience into a phone box, but wonder just how many people listen to this nonsensical ‘queer & trans’ propaganda?
