Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm sure many would like to believe it isn't about Israel. Take a stand that would split his party even more and give his political opponents ammunition. That's dumb. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026What purpose would that serve? It would have inflamed things, given even more headlines to their opponents and ammunition for months. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026On this issue? No, I don't think they do. Changing the leader wouldn't alter one persons opinion on Israel. On other issues, sure, they listen. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Prompting a leadership crisis, giving massive 'antisemitism in the Green Party' headlines for months. Sounds like good strategy?!?! 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yes. Do you understand that a leader can't dictate what it's members do? (At least in the Greens). Do you really think Polanski saying 'don't vote for this' would have made a difference to those voting for the motion? You think they'd listen? If you do, you don't understand them at all. 300
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Those voting for the motion held their opinions most strongly. You really think Polanski telling them not to would have made a difference? It's a fantasy. 111
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And that would have had what effect on the motion? Absolutely none. 400
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Unlike the other parties, Polanski doesn't actually get to dictate what happens in the Greens. There was literally nothing he could do to stop this motion being proposed/debated/passed. 4101
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Banned from somewhere he had no intention of going to. 010
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The most we can say at the moment is that he looks like he'll be the first to actually try to. 110
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That's an alarmist headline. The article literally says it will be replaced by something else. AND none of this has actually been announced. It's not policy. It's speculation. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's misleading headlines and alarmist language. You need to stop being over-dramatic and believing what you read online. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't think that's what it says. "One possible plan is for a separate regime to apply to the under-25 agegroup, with reduced or withdrawn entitlements – although those with the most severe and debilitating disabilities would not lose any money." 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the article say they will be replacing it with something else? Not just ditching it. Seems like an alarmist clickbait headline to me. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Wouldn't working age disable people be covered under disability benefits instead? I know there are big problems with that too, but that's not the issue this is supposed to address. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026And every socialist policy in Scotland has been enacted somewhere else too. Why doesn't the SNP acknowledge who they copied them from? They're frauds! 110
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 01/10/2026'Mad, nasty and shockingly extreme'. Applies much more to you - and certainly to your guest Truss. Why you think she's an authority on anything is baffling. 040
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And by 'revealed sensitive details' you mean 'made stuff up'. They aren't even terrorists. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Why is it troubling? If they were terrorists, they wouldn't have been released. 0140
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Why are the media desperate to talk about this? There is no story here. 090
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Radical idea: cap political donations at £0. No outside jobs (except to keep professional accreditation). No gifts. No free trips or tickets. If you donate money, you expect something back. Fund parties by member subscriptions only. Make politicians work for voters, not donors. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 04/09/2026And because these laws are there to protect us from our politicians being unduly influenced. If this doesn't matter, we are effectively saying we don't care if our politicians have been bought. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Absolutely. But also a brilliant character, showing how people manipulate vulnerabilities and desires of others. 040
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 28/08/2026If someone thinks that doing things to irritate those you are negotiating with is a good strategy, then they are an idiot. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 25/08/2026It's about if they get bail - it was claimed they are a flight risk due to their wealth enabling them to disappear if they wanted. Their lawyers have had to own up that they don't have anything like the wealth they pretend to. 110
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Please stop saying “but he IS establishment” when challenging Farage’s anti-establishment rhetoric. He isn’t. He’s a tool of the rich and super-rich. Neither are they— they don’t play by establishment rules. But being anti-establishment doesn’t mean being pro-worker. Quite the opposite, in fact. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 30/07/2026'Further' action? I think they mean 'any'. They could have added, 'because it's ridiculous'. And 'malicious reporting of non-crimes amounts to wasting police time' 010
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Let's elect him and give a chance to deliver then. Kind of nuts to criticise him for not delivering on his policies when he's not been elected. Yet. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Every broadcaster has the same approach to multi-sports events. I spend most of my time during the Olympics shouting at the TV - "show me the sport for heaven's sake" 010
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Tries to set traps, but doesn't even do that well. Never asks tough or interesting questions. It's why the politicians love to be interviewed by her. 001
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 22/07/2026A competition that becomes less relevant every time. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 21/07/2026She was cleared by HMRC. Given your claim to be impartial, you should apologise and delete this. 000
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Only one person attacking the other in that article. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Can't attack the message, attack the man. Pathetic. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 20/07/2026The football is the entertainment. We don't need anything else. 120
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Isn't the point to do what people want you to do? I.e. things that are popular with the public. 100
Andy Curtis @andykar2.bsky.social · 15/07/2026England threw that away. Far too early to go defensive and voiding the midfield against Argentina is just inviting constant pressure. 000
