While I have doctrinal differences over Catholicism, I earnestly pray for God to protect and heal Pope Leo, a truly good man who speaks truth to power and stands up for those as Jesus did. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Has any politician, but I'd rather bet on Burnham than the Tories, Reform etc, or the LibDems. I never had hope with Starmer, but Burnham is doing small things to rebuild the house brick by brick.

I've known this for decades. I came of voting age during Thatcher and saw the damage being done then. The Tories want low taxes and nothing else. I want a country more like the socialism of Scandinavia, good public services, end to privatisation of life's necessities, society that all benefit from.

The Tories have never done anything good in my lifetime. Cut services, crashed the economy, increased the national debt, wreck our lives and future. Then Labour has to rescue the country again!

This guy lives in France so has no excuse in not knowing that the EU treats the UK exactly the same as it does every other third country, for that is what it now is. Brexit forced us to give up so many good things all to cost British people on average of £2,200/year. Shooting oneself in both feet!

From my perspective across the channel, the way to defeat Farage, Reform and the wider far right, including the Tories who now fall in that camp, is mobilisation. Motivating people to come out to vote, in much the same way as the left has to do in the US to defeat Republican gerrymandering.

I'm not a royalist anyway but I think Charles has let this country down by not only going to the US, but trying to appease Trump. He should be talking to Epstein survivors, he should be calling out Trump & the GOP. But above all, he should not even be there giving ligitimacy to the Trump cabal!

I voted Tory because my parents did, but even they stopped voting Tory, my mum voted Labour in 2015 shortly before she died. Labour are done unless they return to traditional Labour policies, being Tory-lite is never going to win enough votes, and frankly they don't deserve to win at the moment.

Jonathan Lane 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🏴󠁧 @jlaorganbuilder.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
I didn't vote Labour because a vote for them would have let a Tory in, in what used to be Oliver Letwin's constinuency, a man I respect but rarely agreed with. LD's beat the Tories! Apart from my first GE when I misguidely voted for Thatcher, I learned quickly(!!!), I've been solidly Labour since.

Same here. Labour has become a pale imitation of the Tories and has really taken on the mantle of post Thatcherite Conservatism, a far cry from Labour of my youth. Keir Starmer has let the country down in everything he does and doesn't do.
