Northern bloke. Wlling to listen to the other side of the argument or debate but just don't bore me.

@LeeHurstComic 100% correct. Some of the leadership have been a bit 'bull in a China shop' recentl & I fear people are losing patience! Slow down, take stock, learn & regroup. They also need to start showing some depth on their other policies, such as on health, education, defence etc.

@DPJHodges Boring.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@afneil Ahhhh yes; I remember all the billy big ball companies boasting that they wouldn't buy Chinese products again after lockdown....but all I've seen since those hazy salad days is European companies being screwed on prices.....

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@DPJHodges Reforms strategy was built around pulling in more & more Tory voters. Its clear that those who are going to make the move have done so but quite a few will shift back. As a potential Reform voter, I'm not sure where they go to get around Left-wing tactical voting at this point.

@GBPolitcs Keeping your money under floorboards is going to become popular again.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@DPJHodges I feel that Reform are losing their momentum tbh & its becoming increasingly frustrating watching it happen in real time! I appreciate that they are under more scrutiny but they should be prepared for that. It is that perception that is driving many to re-look at the Tories.

@MatthewStadlen @y_alibhai Rolling your shirt sleeves up like that is a crime against fashion!!! Get a grip man!

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@DPJHodges My god; I thought the starting position would have been competency, leadership & a determination to succeed.....regardless of sex.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@SuellaBraverman No. As a potential RFM voter I believe the time still isn't right. What's the strategy for tactical voting as that will undo RFM if an election was called tomorrow?

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@ZiaYusufUK No & I say that as a potential Reform voter! The Rfm leadership don't appear to have a strategy to address tactical voting & I don't see the infrastructure in place to have the right candidates ready to go. Labour will implode after a short honeymoon. Let it be!

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@montie Presume she also still has responses turned off.....

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@tomhfh Agreed but so many politicians were happy to support the 🔔-end over the years and well.....here we are.....

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@tomhfh Is it not possible to have both as a 3rd option!

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@lukejcr Does being ridiculous come naturally or do you work at it? I've come to the conclusion this week that right now......there is only one politician that can save us all & it's @CountBinface !!!!

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@toryboypierce Na but certainly some learnings to take away.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@toryboypierce No.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@FraserNelson Indeed it is. All the waffle about Restore voters is a side show. When you look at the stats, it doesnt take a genius to workout that many hardcover Tories voted for Burnham.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@danwootton Na; boring.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@MatthewStadlen I reckon he's a grafter that's been working endless hours & is probably a bit knackered. Something possibly that you ain't use to hotshot.

[ian richardson @thebeauster68]

@MatthewStadlen I'm no Starmer fan but the 🔪ing in the back is unprecedented, ruthless & well...cowardly.
