If Twitter dies, something that could have been - that was - incredible dies. Because one man had too much money and no clue. Let this be a lesson to future generations on how not to behave when you take over a company.

@TiceRichard Voters may be delighted that Starmer hasn't dragged us into a pointless and unjustifiable attack. I certainly am.

@TheNorfolkLion @campbellclaret @Nigel_Farage If Farage had been doing the negotiations we'd have had a no deal exit and things would be even worse. He's got not the slightest diplomatic ability nor the knowledge to handle anything remotely that complex.

@rpg_haven @ImSpartacus18 @gabithelibra Well it does depend what you spend the taxes on. But Harris wasn't going to raise taxes for people on lower incomes anyway.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@actonblue @WinstonOBo9274 @larrylemonmaths @ShippersUnbound Great track record they've got haven't they. Johnson, Truss and Badenoch. Woooooo. Not that they're getting great options, they really need to pick better MPs if they want a decent leader.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@larrylemonmaths @ShippersUnbound Realising growth is everything, Truss attempted a load of policies which anybody with a passing knowledge of economics could have told her wouldn't promote growth. That's what the markets react to, because tax cuts for the rich and rampant borrowing to fund it never worked.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@larrylemonmaths @ShippersUnbound She also completely failed to offer any policies which would promote growth, as the market reactions show. And before you dismiss them as establishment forces again, let's be clear - the markets are how that economic growth happens and they must believe in you to do it.

@I9Form85331 @stengel And that is why we all hate the government - at many points in history it's not the one the majority of us voted for. We voted for three or four different ones we didn't get. A government which respects this can win people over. Trump of course won't even bother to try.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@I9Form85331 @stengel We had it in the UK where Boris Johnson took the Conservatives to a massive majority in Parliament despite winning just over 40% of the vote overall, because they won so many seats by a narrow margin. Then Labour did it right back earlier this year.

@Legion_Cool @JohnJCrace I thought RFK Jr was an absolute moron who doesn't have the faintest acquaintance with simple concepts like "evidence" and wants to abolish vaccines. Sure, he'll raise food standards while he's killing children, absolutely.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@cop_ish Excellent. I'm just gathering up some alternate platforms for people I like following here and then I'm gone.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@SMHonk1983 @Plandemic3Movie Such a suppressed positive message Trump himself only spoke hate.

Or maybe it was the bits where he degenerated into incoherence?

How can you celebrate that man? How can you look at him and say yes, he should be President? He's already shown he's not good at the job once.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@Ravenzbug @wideawake_media But who's going to save people from RFK Jr and his bullshit? He offers nothing but a return to children dying of measles and polio and tuberculosis and smallpox.

Well, hopefully not the latter because we eliminated that one WITH VACCINES.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@AHBrooks2 @imcoolchristian @wideawake_media Bigger yes, more delusional also yes, more dangerous absolutely yes. The world shifted when he was re-elected and almost nobody is going to enjoy where it goes. Especially his supporters, when they figure out how much his policies will hurt them.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@quantizor @CollinRugg They don't know or care, just like they don't know anything about trans people they've just got the stories they made up to scare their supporters and give them something to rally around. And protecting the kids sells well even when it's Trump the kids need protecting from.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@mrjamesob Starmer should seek to rejoin the customs union. Yes he previously ruled it out, but the USA electing a narcissistic self-obsessed asshole changes the situation significantly and requires a different response.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@MikeTho04795078 @lionelbarber We are but we're still far ahead of the capabilities of every single one of the idiots you mentioned.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@Sabrina25211 @drodvik52 @MarkHamill If you want to be able to afford cat food I would suggest you'd be better off under Harris than Trump.

[Matthew Walton @maw]

@DRJO1965 @IanDunt If they want to stand a chance of winning that's about their only option.
