@afneil They’ll ramp up war talk over coming weeks until they can engineer a sinking (by Iran, or by Trump’s master in Moscow made to look like it was by Iran) of one of the larger US vessels loitering outside the Strait of Hormuz, & then declare “full scale war” & cancel the mid-terms.

@IanElkins26 @digitalxwitness @allandray08 @electionmapsuk You have no idea! That would be why you’re a Reform supporter.

@MaggieThatchr @electionmapsuk One small ward result says nothing about the national picture.
It is a very gammon area. This is in Jenrick’s constistuency.

[Martin @metabourke]

@therichgoodwin @electionmapsuk No, it is in the nearby Rampton ward!

@RobDotHutton Cambridge academics …always a favourite of the Russian/USSR secret service.
Farage is doing Putin’s bidding. Perhaps they want Orr is there to keep an eye on Oysters & Champers Nigel.

[Martin @metabourke]

@MasterJamesofS1 He’s also happy to refer to his time at Drexel Burnham Lambert. Reform seems to have similar governance practices to Drexel. And, of course, Farage’s mate Trump pardoned the mastermind of Drexel’s illegal activities, a fellow Wharton graduate.

@atj0003 @campbellclaret @andyburnham Same reason the EU will be skeptical of any UK moves to rejoin the EU until Farage and friends are all behind bars and the gammons haven’t voted for a fascist or a drunken fa-wah fa-wah wiff-waff liar or a lettuce for a generation or two.

@dailybritainonx He meant ‘threat to his ego’

[Martin @metabourke]

@RobertJenrick Perhaps the Spanish should give up their colonial enclave? The British could do the same on the other side of the strait at the same time.

@archer_rs There are hourly direct trains from London! How out of touch is he? Does he mean there is a lack of airfields to land his private jet in comparison to near his home in K*nt?

@vivamjm @marylouisepearc Not hard to understand if you want to understand. But more difficult to grasp if they reject any information that is incompatible with the Gammon Creed.

@Scaramucci This is common in many countries, not just the US. And now there’ll be huge support for Belgium around the world.

[Martin @metabourke]

@Annainthepark @daniellismore Well that is what his pal Putin and other oligarchs have told him to do.

[Martin @metabourke]

@ftworldnews Not a surprise that such a thing would happen in a crime-ridden country run by a terrorist.

[Martin @metabourke]

@ElectionMapsUK A nearly 9% swing from Reform to the Conservative across the 2 by-elections.

Are some (former) Reform voters deciding that maybe the politics of Trump and Putin isn’t best for the UK.

[Martin @metabourke]

@heidijaneuk @NoFarmsNoFoods What culture is being taken away? Putin’s proxies ability to stir up division and xenophobia among the easily manipulated still seems to be effective, I see. He wants to destroy the EU and NATO so he can pick off smaller countries one-by-one.

[Martin @metabourke]

@thesewingm @NoFarmsNoFoods Yes, some non-citrus products may be called ‘marmalade’. The knee-jerk overreaction to something like this from the easily manipulated xenophobic “take back control” brigade, even those it has little/no practical impact on British people’s lives, is to be expected I supposed.

@SlickSushi731 @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov They’ll show up when they poll an amount that on rounding is not 0%. They might achieve 1% in some of the seats with the most racist poor-educated electorate but not countrywide.

[Martin @metabourke]

@BubblyIan @ElectionMapsUK @YouGov You’ve mis-spelled ‘battiest’ as ‘best’.

[Martin @metabourke]

@JaneSummer61597 @ElectionMapsUK @Fox_Claire @focaldataHQ Your inability to comprehend things like this poll shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that has seen your X posts.
