Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 04/10/2026OK. Answer me this one. Would it be better to phase the transition up to £100k, in which case you are taking money from lower earners (relatively speaking) or give it to everybody, and financially reward higher earners? 001
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026He's being a cunt. What's more astounding is that he knows he is and is doing it on purpose. 010
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Your country is pretty messed up if you are able to rank your assaults on academic freedoms by severity. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 18/08/2026If we're making a list of which candidates to ban, could I suggest that nazis should be higher than comedians. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 16/08/2026A large proportion won't even be aware of it. Believe me, that is not a judgement. It's just the fact that most voters pay very little attention to politics at all. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Isn't this question just "how do you prefer your toast?" 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 31/07/2026We need someone with character, integrity, and pedigree. Might I suggest Gary Lineker? 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 26/07/2026He is right. There were virually no boats before 2016. The Dublin Agreement covers ALL immigration. Farage posed in front of people walking down a road. You really need to check your facts before posting because your memory is terrible. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 21/07/2026That is an assumption, but you're probably on pretty safe ground. 110
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I think we can understand that to mean it was about immigration for her. 130
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 18/07/2026You think the CEO of Shell or BP are likely to sign a contract that potentially obliges them to act in a way that would harm their profits and still expect to remain in post for longer than it took for the pen to leave the paper. It's an interesting take. 110
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I'm not even sure he'll make it to the by-election. If the pressure gets too much, look at him to run away and blame everyone else. 020
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 09/07/2026"Politicisation of children is vulgar" Is it possible to overdose on irony? 090
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Badenoch is being smart here, which you have to agree is a step up. 010
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Jumping the gun a little? Isn't it up to MPs to decide? 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 03/06/2026True. Still, I would love to hear him argue that an implication he was "invoking race as basis for public anger" was anything other than a summary of his CV. 171
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Are they taking the show to the Edinburgh fringe this year? 040
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 24/05/2026At this point, it's hardly worth arguing. 🤣 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukConservatives and Reform do deal to run Basildon councilThe Conservatives will run Basildon Borough Council, with the support of Nigel Farage's party. 010
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Not sure about that slippery slope. What do you mean exactly? 100
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Prepare yourself for an unpopular oversimplification. 20% of us will vote for the most socially conservative or racist option we are offered. That used to be Conservative, it's currently Reform UK, and it may well be Restore in the future. 130
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Hmmm...this or winning the lottery? Tough choice. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I would have her walk through Coventry dressed like this. 000
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 13/05/2026It's not the fine he fears, it's the suspension. 100
Chris Barratt @crispydog.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I'm pretty sure he isn't lying when he says he is furious. 100
