@D0nGabriel@DAaronovitch Personally, I cannot see how a party made from the (most useless) Tories, owned by a Tory billionaire and led by a career politician Tory millionaire (minus any recent "gifts") is an anti-estabilishment option, but each to their own.
@D0nGabriel@DAaronovitch I think there's certainly some truth to that - got to give him credit, he's excellent at convincing people that a single issue will solve all their problems. So glad Brexit solved all our issues...
@D0nGabriel@DAaronovitch Many will - a lot of Reform voters are at the point where they dismiss verifable facts, data or evidence as establishment lies - blindly following their "saviour" no matter what, similar to being in a cult.
@Bradholler@DAaronovitch I think its got to the point where they realise that Farage and Tice have become indefensible, and they cannot be seen to support them any longer.
@TheRewiredPod@L2trappppyyyy@LBC@NickFerrariLBC Like the HR directors daughter, who worringingly doesn't understand employment law, you are wrong - Raynor was cleared "of deliberate wrongdoing or carelessness over her tax affairs" by HMRC. Thats just official records.
@robcarruthers3@cola_fur@Darren081273@GarySmithJnr There is nothing at all stopping these teams spend what they earn from sporting success. You just cant continue to pay almost 100% of revenue to get there. Its really simple.
@robcarruthers3@cola_fur@Darren081273@GarySmithJnr Can you sell youth, pay stupudly low wages, sacrifice trophies for 20 years, then build a new stadium using the money saved... yes. Would that put you in a better financial position in 20 years? Yes. Exactly the same as Spurs.
@robcarruthers3@cola_fur@Darren081273@GarySmithJnr Those years of sacrifice allowed them to develop infrastructure, and now let's them spend above the likes of Villa and N'Castle. Both teams could have done the same, but chose a different path
@cola_fur@robcarruthers3@Darren081273@GarySmithJnr Good luck with that. His response is that of a toddler; throw a tantrum and bring out insults the moment anyone poses an opposing viewpoint. Best to leave him to his echo-chamber where he can be angry with the world.
@robcarruthers3@Darren081273@GarySmithJnr Not Spurs - 5 years ago they were in a similar situation. Whereas Villa and Newcastle spent almost 100% of revenue on wages/fees, Spurs scrimped & developed infrastructure. Both teams could have done the same, but prioritised instant success. Now you want to take the shortcut ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@TonyCope56789@MikeTappTweets@RobertJenrick Hmm let me think... do I want to meet a window-licking obsessed nutjob from X, who can't construct an English sentence, who throws a toddler tantrum when presented with data, who thinks AI is conspiring against them... I'll pass, thanks. Try Grindr, maybe.
@lollyvjohnson I understand that. Personally, a party made up of the very worst of the Tories, that were in power for 14 years and decimated the economy, led by a career politician that would do anything if you bung him a few quid, is not a "change". Each to their own!
@lollyvjohnson On top of that, the majoroty of Reform are ex-Tories, who campaigned for and implemented Brexit. Changing the rosette to a different colour doesn't clean them of blame
@lollyvjohnson Farage didn't deliver Brexit alone, but he was one of its architects. He spent decades campaigning to leave the EU, pushed the issue into the mainstream, pressured the Conservatives into holding a referendum, and helped shape public opinion with what we now know were blatant lies
@TonyCope56789@MikeTappTweets@RobertJenrick So you also believe AI is a "full of shit, window-licking village idiot"... everyone except you? You think AI is in on the conspiracy to lie to you?
@TonyCope56789@MikeTappTweets@RobertJenrick ...Futhermore, court arguments reflect the law the Government is required to apply, not a personal or political opinion of a prime minister, who has no control over court proceedings. These views are based on widely spread far-right propaganda and not fact"
@TonyCope56789@MikeTappTweets@RobertJenrick Thanks. Thats probably the kindest words you've ever said to anyone. As for your question - I'll let AI answer it, so its unbiased and you can't blame me - " Those claims severly misrepresent both the facts and Starmer's role. The figures have no factual basis...
