Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 10hNI is in a very different situation because it would be part of Ireland and the EU . Scotland would not qualify for EU membership because of its economic situation . 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11hCouldn’t disagree more . There is no way in the current global economic situation that an independent Scotland could borrow the money necessary to repay its portion of UK national debt and then finance its ongoing expenditure . It would be a basket case 200
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11hJust because there is vile racism in the far right, it doesn’t excuse vile racism from the far left Greens 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12hPerfectly possible (likely even) that Labour are back in the lead in Scotland by the time of the next election . Striking that only 3 in 10 now support the separatists who want break up our United Kingdom 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 230

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14hIt’s right that Burnham is taking a stand against the racist Green Party, just as Badenoch has done with the racist Reform Party. The racist Greens and Reform should be driven from British politics 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14hI didn’t mention Polanski . Like Reform and indeed Restore, the Greens are undoubtedly an openly racist party and unfit to be anywhere near power in a liberal democracy like Britain . Have a great day 100
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 16hCremant can be excellent . Surprises me that they haven’t become more popular in UK . 020
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 17hThat’s the tragedy . Reform has given “licence” to people to use racist language that I thought had been consigned to the dustbin of history . It’s very sad 020
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 17hJust as Badenoch is right to refuse deals with the racist Reform party, Burnham is right to have nothing to do with the antisemitc Greens . Credit to both the PM and LOTO 120

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 18hThe majority of the 32 countries in NATO are European . In is the bedrock of Europes defence . In wanting to undermine NATO, the Greens are siding with Putin, Trump and European fascists like AfD you treacherous fools . You, like Reform are unfit to be anywhere near power in the UK 200
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Reform and the Greens are both vile racist parties and must be driven out of British politics . Good that both Badenoch and Burnham have committed to not doing deals with these disgusting racists #Bbcpm #CathyNewman #C4News www.itv.com/news/2026-10...itv.com 011

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026He needs to rule out any deal with the Greens full stop . Not just because of their antisemitic and racist policy on Israel, but their weakness on supporting NATO 100

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Zack Polanski now on MINUS 35, massively more unpopular than even Farage . Difficult to imagine that the Greens won’t soon consign him to the recycling bin #R4today 020
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Hope you’re correct, but never underestimate the stupidity and gullibility of the average Sun/Mail reader or GB News/Talk viewer 010
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I’m not a big fan of Burnham, but it’s ridiculous to claim that a Mayor being entertained by the management of a local football club somehow constitutes corruption. Having said that, if the likes of the Sun and Mail can persuade people that’s he’s “bent”, it will be very damaging #R4today 260
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I agree, unless Reform’s vote collapses further before the next general election and Badenoch is able to consolidate the right wing vote. Would not rule this out 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Another post conference poll showing an apparent boost for the Tories at the expense of Reform 👍 . If we do end up with a right of centre Govt after the next election, I’d far rather it a Tory one than Reform #R4today 420
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I wish we had never left the EU, I’d love to rejoin, but I’m really not sure that banging on about BREXIT for the next few years is what this country needs. So depressing hearing the same old arguments for & against being regurgitated on #Politicslive 🤦😬 140
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 13/10/2026The margin of error on a typical YouGov poll is indeed +/- 3%. As Sam Coates of Sky (who commission this poll with The Times), also confirms . 120
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 13/10/2026It’s all within margin of error . People read too much into these movements. In reality, Labour, the Tories and Reform are all polling roughly at the same level. 381
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 13/10/2026One poll, but a definite post conference boost for Badenoch from today’s YouGov . #R4today 210
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Burnham politely but firmly wiping the floor with Badenoch . He’s led her into a trap forcing her to defend Brexit and Russian interference and she isn’t smart enough to realise 251
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12/10/2026What would be surprising I think is if Kavanagh wrote a very positive column for Burnham in the Daily Mirror . 010
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Massive austerity programme (including Welfare cuts) or manifesto busting 3p on basic rate tax .

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I think most of us who regard ourselves as socially liberal will find Zia Yusuf’s policies and indeed tone, thoroughly unpleasant. He is undoubtedly popular with many on the social right in Britain, including many traditional working class “red wall” voters, which should alarm Labour #R4todsy 000

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Quite clear what Reform are up to here . In the same way that the Tories are moving to the right on social issues to win back Reform voters, Farage is now shifting further to the right to win back the people who are now supporting Restore #R4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukReform would suspend asylum system for parliamentary term if in governmentAll asylum applications would be rejected and existing ones voided, with all claimants marked for deportation. 030

Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Sometimes the swamp that is X provides some genuine fun and hilarity. Dan Hodges is under attack from both Reform & Green supporters for daring to call out both racist parties and their charlatan leaders, as equally toxic and dangerous to Britain. #HorseshoeTheory #Bbclaurak 010
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Apparently Polanski has findlly agreed to be interviewed by Laura next week . Will he even be Chief Green by next weekend ? #Bbclaurak 230
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Nonsense James . The triple lock remains until 2030, from then the state pension will still rise by the rate of inflation or 2.5% which ever is higher. That means it is index linked. Why lie ? 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11/10/2026As Laura is rightly (but politely) pointing out to John Swinney, he is a liar and a fraud . Seems to be a common problem with SNP politicians. This interview is a car crash for him. #BBCLAURAK 100
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I like Wes Streeting, but he needs to push Burnham much harder for 3% on defence by 2030, if necessary by cutting welfare, as he and Healey demanded of Starmer . Nothing is more important than the defence of the Realm, certainly not welfare #BBClaurak 000
Chris @christ36.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Listening to Ellie Chowns it would appear that there is now a coordinated attack from the moderate or ‘sensible’ wing of the Greens to take their party back from the far left, Corbynistas and antisemites who have infiltrated them under Polanski’s ‘leadership’. This has to be a good thing #R4today 250
