blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Surely Trump and you know the rise of the far right all over Europe and here should make us at least a bit sceptical that ‘deliverisim’ would be enough to stop reform? 000
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Is this linked to at George’s flags roundabouts? 010

blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 30/03/2025I am being slightly lazy by not just looking at research myself but is there a good reason to doubt equalising CGT w income tax wouldn’t raise considerable funds? 100
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 29/03/2025I still agree that any thorough analysis of this govt requires recognising the leftish economic policy as you say though 000
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Leftish because of Starmers politics or more because of political space ? I think the latter probs has more to do with it considering this govts lack of back bone to attacks from the right in most areas. Compare labours platform to onward 2019 report on politics of belonging 100
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Again, the self imposed constraints basically means the govt cannot have a coherent set of policies . Without the space for proper investment, their aims of getting more people working *and* ‘making work pay’ just aren’t compatible 230

Reposted by @blakeford2.bsky.socialNadia Whittome MP @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social · 12/02/2025What’s the point in refusing citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’? What’s the point in publishing footage of people being deported? I’m sorry to say that this is simply a continuation of the performative cruelty we saw from the Conservatives. 961518350
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Yeah i think he clearly does have a problem with being trigger happy on giving harsh decisions to some teams. But I still think the bigger scandal was the fact it wasn’t corrected. From certain angles the challenge does look a bit nasty (studs slightly up on the heel) but replays show it’s a yellow 000
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Surely the problem w the red card on Saturday was the VAR, not Oliver as much? Yes , it was a mistake from him but the fact VAR saw no reason for correcting it is far more problematic . Think your point is still valid though 230
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 22/01/2025How can Brexit possibly be considered a bigger issue than the climate and environment ? Just because it’s talked about more doesn’t make it more important 100
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Agree that this will always be slightly the case. Think a problem is everything is put in the language of growth. But growth for what? Think where there is a problem is the failure to articulate what the changes they are making will long term achieve 100
blakeford2.bsky.social @blakeford2.bsky.social · 17/01/2025My understanding was specific firms laying off workers or reducing recruitment, but yeah big picture unemployment is unaffected. Which I assume is what reeves etc is hoping for 100
