George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 07/09/20254. Failing to clear out the Tories’ highly political appointments to the BBC. They should be replaced immediately with independent people. Until that happens, it will remain a public relations outfit for the hard right and far right. 371424245
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 07/09/2025The thread on one page: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...skywriter.bluePage by George Monbiot | @georgemonbiot.bsky.socialIf Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only fo... 1729274
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 07/09/2025And he made the labour candidate for Clacton withdraw when it looked (IIRC) like a fair bet he would win 030

Mark, a proud European #FBPE. Unscrolled @MarkDav @markdaviesuk.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Totally disagree. Starmer has not changed. He was always to the right of the party as he showed as leader. He led well as opposed to Corbyn who humiliated Labour. We knew exactly what we were getting 100
Lynn Roseberry, LL.M, Ph.D. @lynnroseberry.bsky.social · 08/09/2025What are the chances Starmer will do any of this? I fear for the UK. 000
Don Syme @dsyme.bsky.social · 07/09/2025This is a bit hyperbolic George. Among other things, Starmer had absolutely no mandate to bring in PR. I just don't see why people don't attack Farage instead of Starmer. The country voting for a lying grifter is not an inevitability even if you think Starmer is shit. 3121
Paul Russell @pwrussell.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Yes. It all suggests not so much that the man is evil, but utterly hapless, with no clue how to do politics. 814610
Jenny @jenny-algies56.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I see the UK Labour Government is so unpopular. It worries me from the out side looking in that Farage could get in next time. I then see the UK having even worse problems. Similar to the US with Trump leading. It's an utter nightmare there. 😵💫🥵 000
Jeremy Blackwell @jeremyblackwell.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Just whitewashing the loopy far-left zealots like Jeremy Corbyn, Zack Polanski and Owen Jones They are the ones giving away power to the fascists by splitting the vote This lot are like the Americans who would let J.D. Vance win the presidency because Gavin Newsom is not woke enough 000
Rob @okitwas @okitwas.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Who would make a better Labour leader do you think? Should we ban all right win media? Is it OK for Farage to be a populist leader and con Reform supporters without scrutiny? 000
Neville Shekleton @nevshek.bsky.social · 07/09/2025I’m just one who is quite sad that your argument about Mr Starmer is sound, despite his capabilities, his blind spots are implosive unfortunately 060
Mind The Gap @shesellsseashells.bsky.social · 07/09/2025If Farage wins it will be completely down to the media giving him a disproportionate platform and airtime, even prior to Starmer. BBC QT particularly. 030
englishcoin.bsky.social @englishcoin.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Destroying faith in democracy, like these clowns? The obsession is really starting to affect somebodies judgement and to be honest nobody in Hartlepool, Hull, Wakefield or Mansfield cares what middle class academics think. 000

Archie Pelargo @archiepelargo.bsky.social · 08/09/2025There is an easy and very “patriotic” way to stop Farage. Simply enact a law that requires all ministers and party to hold UK citizenship ONLY. 010
Francis Chubb @francischubb.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Yes, all this and I would only add: election funding. 011
