Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I've always had this innate tendency to support the underdog in most situations. Somebody needs to. I guess it's because fairness, pragmatism & simple common sense just appeal to me. A thought that maybe came to mind following the arrest of that piece of shite, Tommo 🤷 182
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 24/09/2026What I wanted to see was 5 years of a grown up govt putting people's faith back into politics with deeds, not just promises. Instead we now have a populist leader putting Starmer's policies into practice as if they're his own. What have we really gained? Hope Burnham can tackle the big stuff too. 1163
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 23/09/2026For all those who moan about having to be treated by immigrant clinicians, how would you feel if they in turn followed your wishes & didn't treat you? 🤔 150
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Hope Burnham can handle this meeting with Trump like a statesman. Keeping up appearances with allies, not turning them into adversaries, is a diplomatic necessity, however distasteful. 380
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Morning all. Took a 'break' from things last week away in Cornwall, but this morning here we go again. Palestine, hooded thugs, Farage crowing, RNLI cast as the villain (when really they're all heroes) & Tommo still not arrested. What's Burnham doing? Just ticking off what Starmer set up for him! 5124

Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Anyone who supports racist thugs on our streets needs to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror. If you condone this racist bigotry then you are part of the problem, & most definitely not any kind of solution. 0101
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Should police have tried to arrest all of those black clad blokes protesting at Dover, or was the right tactic to play it down & simply get them to leave. They were probably itching for some resistance & an excuse to resort to violence. It kind of burst their balloon 🤷. No property or people harmed 3121
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This latest revelation in a string of Farage misdemeanours is not only a huge blow for him, but also a stain on the disingenuous UK media. 0180
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Morning all. While Chris Mason & co pull themselves together after Channel 4's Farage revelation, I keep asking myself why it's taken so long for real investigative journalists to step in. We've had a right wing media monopoly on Farage euphoria for so long! 3263
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Morning all. Last year I was jealous of those who went to the Labour party conference, because I couldn't. This year I don't think I can even bear to watch it on TV. So disillusioned. 😢 1140
Reposted by Traceylazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 02/09/2026If you are happy that someone can decide they’d quite like to be PM, even though they didn’t stand in the election 3 months after a massive GE victory & then go about undermining that govt for 18 months and do nothing wrong, then we don’t want the same things in a govt! 🤷 062
Reposted by TraceyJames Alexander @jmsalxdr.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Starmer has many critics, but I liked him. About his resignation, I think I would do the same in his position — he now has the experience of being a PM, and that’s wasted being an MP. It would also be hard to sit among peers who wanted you gone.bbc.co.ukKeir Starmer announces he is standing down as MPThe move will trigger a by-election to replace the former prime minister in his London constituency. 6476
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 02/09/2026People are drawing comparisons between the party's treatment of Starmer & Corbyn, & indeed Corbyn was vilified by many. But he was never PM, the media was its usual ferocious anti Labour self & he never helped himself. Too busy crusading over Gaza to take what was happening to his party seriously. 070
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Starmer owes the PLP nothing. He's done his time & deserves to move on. He's left the country in a far better place than when he arrived. All the best to him. 5607
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Morning all. The statistics re the fewer numbers of small boats crossing, deportations & arrests of smuggling gangs are all over social media. Perhaps communication wasn't the problem under Starmer, just prejudiced minds who refuse to accept this. With those leaks from the PLP itself of course 🤷 1183
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Trip to Cleethorpes yesterday. The rain came down in tank fulls, but it was still warm. Soaked to the skin but sort of refreshed 🤷 2150
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Morning all. So is it the Burnham bounce that's putting Labour ahead in the polls, or is it the sudden parallel criticism of Farage & Reform by the media? Having despatched Starmer from office it seems they may now have a new agenda. Both are making promises they probably won't keep tbh 🤷 6200

Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 22/08/2026UK politics is a mess. We were just sticking our post Tory heads up above the political parapet under Starmer, & he's dumped 🤦.

Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I think Harry & Meghan helped unearth the less than spotless reputation of the royal family, which has only become more obvious even without them in recent years. Hope the media leaves them alone this time. 2182

Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 16/08/2026If & when Burnham does something worthwhile I'll give him credit for it. Parliament isn't even back in session yet, so I'll judge him fully on proposed policies once it is.

Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Asylum seekers choose the UK because they can see a future for themselves here. It's a prosperous country & there are jobs. Many speak more English than they do other languages, & some have relatives here. Plus, if their claim is not accepted in the EU, Brexit means they can use UK as another option 1121
Tracey @2300.bsky.social · 04/08/2026For the umpteenth time: Asylum seekers need to be on UK soil to claim it. They come for various reasons, none of which are benefits/hotel rooms. They aren't entitled to benefits without an NI number. Many don't have a passport.. lost, stolen, gone up in flames or never had one. Just read it! 0111
