I’m gonna make a little prediction
Nothing will change politically or in the direction of politics.
Because the lawyers have taken over politicians they are now setting the law in such a way that means politics is rendered almost useless because they can (rightly) only act in a way “that is constitutional” as things should be - the government can’t be above the law - but the law can’t be above the government and that’s where we are now.
We’re in a very dangerous place because the Blair’s khans and Starmers have engitthe law to hamstring the political establishment to the point where think tanks and lawyers drive politicians
Brexit was the slap I the face. The establishment recieved another this year in the local election and bye elections
No change
The next general election will be very very different because since the referendum the uk population have been saying NO
And no one has listened until now. A Perry with just 5 MPs are now driving politely because the main stream are so out of touch and just don’t get it

Unfortunately he’s not a politician or someone who comes naturally to politics
He’s a lawyer
Ffs he needed the appeal courts to tell him what a woman was - despite being married to one.
He’s the absolute worst of what 25 years of what the Westminster 2 party system has delivered- a nothing nobody who stands for nothing apart from upholding the current legal status quo
He has no ideology, he stands for nothing and represents no one
The trouble is, none of the others 650 are any better - so the change people so desperately want is gonna come from Clackton

What's bizarre about being from Runcorn?

Free school meals they hope will start in the academic year beginning September 2026.
Looks like, when pressed this morning, they don’t know how to pay for it which could ultimately end up being another hollow promise.
And you’re in favour of the burqa and what it represents in todays society?
I hope there’s a bath run, your tea is on the table when you walk in tonight and your shirts are all washed and pressed for you.

Hmmmmm 🤔 sounds a lot like misogyny. Maybe our resident misogyny outrage expert should have a word with a certain demographic....
Tbf you're wasting energy on him. He approved of a bloke beating up women in the boxing ring. Not only that, he argued with, belittled, and abused, one of only a handful of female posters, when she argued against the narrative.

27% of pensioners are worth north of £1mil but a lot of that will be tied up in non-liquid assets like property and pensions. So technically correct but she probably purposely worded to make it sound like a quarter of pensioners have £1mil sat in their bank account.

Another pledge reneged on.
I don't get it. It's estimated that only 6% of cattle get the disease from badgers and that most transmission occurs from cow to cow. Since the cull started, it's barely seen any reflective decrease in the disease.
Ironically, over the longer term, the spread of the disease worsens after a cull, because the remaining badgers spread out and expand their territory, so the disease is spread over a wider area.
Fking mental strategy.

She lied. And it’s not 27% of pensioners are worth north of a million, it’s 27% live in a household with total wealth assets etc over a million. And assuming many of those households would probably be married couple then that would reduce the actual % of individuals even further. It may even include pensioners who live with family as well, which again would reduce the %. So, yes she lied

Listening to Brian May about it on many occasions he’s well in tune with it. Also the reason they won’t play Glastonbury because Peter Eavis allows the culling of badgers on his land.

How do people think the grey man has done?
Let’s focus on the positives - what have they done right? What have they done well?
I’d say that the cardboard cut out did as well as anyone could have been expected do have done when dealing with the orange menace. His India deal seems ok. After that I’m really struggling.
No need to focus on the negative stuff that’s been well documented
