What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy. I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long. So how do we fix it? My plan:

My LinkedIn is full of an endless stream of UK diplomats announcing they’ve left govt service. This due to extreme cuts to foreign aid and diplomacy (much of it spearheaded by Olly Robbins). It’s hard to look at the world today and think “this is a good time to be losing experienced diplomats.”

Votes on legislation should never pass if the MPs opposing them represent more people, right? Not with FPTP 🤷‍♀️ These bars 👇should all be zero - legislation should never be passed unless a real majority agree. This is why we need proportional representation. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social
The %age of votes on legislation that passed, even though the MPs opposed represented more people. They passed because seats don't match votes.

Difficult to express the visceral disgust I feel at Musk, his fascism, his hideous and cruel abuse of power with cuts to aid that are responsible for death and suffering worldwide, his support for the repulsive Lowe and the way he’s shit-stirring in our country’s democracy and wellbeing.
"A vast number of people need to be removed from our country - when I say vast I mean it," Lowe posted and Musk reposted. "Only Restore Britain can save Britain," Musk posted. "It is the only way." In addition to mass deportation of non-whites, Restore Britain would outlaw halal and kosher meat slaughter, restore the death penalty and defund the BBC. Non-existent a year ago, Restore Britain's debut has been rocket-
boosted by Musk on X to become a viable political force with nearly 100,000 members.
Restore's ideology is straight-up authoritarian.
Musk wants it to run Britain, a country in which he has never lived and of which he is galactically ignorant.
