@tomhfh “Where my family lives” We all knew Starmer Kentish town we all knew Cummings Stoke Newington etc
“Punished for making money” Sunak derided for having made money in successful career!
Cry baby.
@DPJHodges Is this actually real? It’s like an AI “make Farage look weak whilst trying to look hard”
Anybody who says “his lead is holding” there’s a delay of at least a month from X/Newspapers/Traditional media to people who aren’t interested in news.
@edwinheathcote@rorysutherland I wish somebody had done some local vox pop videos too. I’d bet my life you could get a local who’d campaigned for the tunnel complaining about all the digging trucking and plant.
@cjsnowdon “Supermarkets profit” In all large stores the big 4 offer those items packaging free in grocery store style. Some people just like picking up a few in a bag.
@alexmassie It’s mental. Northerner living in London and very tired of it.
It also feels like he’s already handed all of the South West and East Anglia to other parties on a plate and he’s not even PM yet!
@irish_olli22881@DAaronovitch I did.. Now I look like a fat AI-generated doctor. used by junior doctors as in memes as a picket line crossing baddie in a pay dispute.
*I am not a doctor
@maxtempers@SadiqKhan I hoped the London bashing from the Tories under Boris was part their temporary red wall obsession but also a strategy to land a Labour mayor in the sh*t. Thought it might change with Labour mayor and Labour government but on it goes. Non London MPs are turning into the SNP.
@Leemcdade1184@DPJHodges He could go via Leeds. I think Avanti do full english or porridge for 1st class breakfast but I think LNER offer a bacon sandwich.
@Tregeare@DAaronovitch I’m not saying London was being bashed by getting the Elizabeth line. I’m saying the trend in politics of the last 10 years is to put down London and blame it for everyone else’s problems.
Also crossrail was proposed in 1974….so spread that £19 billion over 46 years….
@DAaronovitch Really It’s about bashing London and the commuter belt as always, so it’s everywhere (including parts of the south) served by Regional Railways rather than Network Southeast (which included wealthy parts of south west) under British rail sectorisation.
