jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A lot of people underestimating the influence this Tommo character could have on UK politics.He has a lot of support across the working class and crucially he knows how social media works. He will use every opportunity the politicians,old media & police hand to him to advance his cause. 212
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This is a political obsessives point of view.People do not go on X to watch dry political interviews.R4,TimesRadio etc are the place for that content.A lot of people use X for hobbies,sport funny memes & politics is on the fringes. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 18/08/2026This already happened in lockdown so it should be achievable. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/08/2026People often vote for the least worst option.If Burnham's Labour fails to deliver growth and improve people's lives then they could join the Tories & be more unpopular than Farage & Reform. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The problems of more devolution. Council has a terrible or good idea.Central government steps in to stop idea. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Opening a can of worms with this populist rhetoric.What is next?Sugar companies paying for peoples dentistry? 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The people who remain on X are not making a moral decision.It is not the same as deciding not to watch GBNews.You are opting out of having a your opinion counted. Interesting how often X content is reposted & commented on BSky by people who claim to have left X.. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/07/2026The announcements so far are welcome & go in the right direction but the next budget will have to be very radical fo make any impact with voters in the long term. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Not reading anything about any of the potential new Chancellors having any plans for growth.Without growth the Labour government is finished.That is one of the primary reasons Starmer is leaving 10 Downing Street. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The Tories are nowhere near a revival.To many of the countries problems were under Tory rule. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/07/2026This is exactly the attention Farage wants.People who would never vote for him defining that they are the establishment he is fighting against. Farage financial scandal story is converted to Farage v establishment. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 04/07/2026It is ironic that The Guardian does everything to promote & boost big business demanding higher taxation and more regulation.Small business struggles with both.Big business easily copes with the compliance,puts up the prices & buys up SMEs or shuts them down. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Liberal or centre left politics is really struggling.Not sure the Burnham project can improve the country with the financial constraints in the economy. 000

jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Must be less than a year ago that we had all the Morgan McSweeney articles stating what a genius he was for winning the election.Starmer won because voters wanted the Tories out.Burnham will be PM because Starmer is a terrible PM. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 26/06/2026A lot of people dont read a newspaper,dont watch BBC,Sky or ITV news,find politics boring but still absorb political clips & memes from Tiktok,X and FB. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Starmer being deluded is a major part of the problem.A basic poll would tell him that very few citizens agree for various reasons. 000

jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Life is not just about statistics.It is about how people feel about their own life and their friends and community life. 200
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 20/06/2026How will this possibly work?Will Novara Media,GB News,LBC opinion clips be treated the same as a BBC serious news report on Ukraine war?Presumably users can then block BBC channel if they do not want further BBC clips.A can if worms. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Leave campaign was "Take back control".Post referendum it was open borders and little control. Immigration becomes a big issue again. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Economic arguments are still often stated as the primary reason to rejoin EU by campaigners.Not a winning argument in 2016 and not a winning argument now. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Burnham presumably not a fan of under promising and over delivering. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Quite simply .What is there to like abour Starmer? 120
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Complaining about the BBC or Daily Mail content is out of date.These narratives are playing out on You Tube,TikTok,X,Facebook,GBNews etc. You combat these narratives by creating your own content demonstrating why other media content comment or media is wrong. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/05/2026WH Smith has been broken the moment it ceased having customer service at the till.The most unwelcome shop on the high street. This is what happens when an accountant runs customer service. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/05/2026This is why Labour & Libdems are so nervous about talking about rejoining EU.You dont have to fight the battles of the past.You have to fight a new battle and put forward positive arguments to rejoin EU.That sort of battle takes to much political energy. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 20/05/2026It is not weak or morally wrong to import Russian oil to the UK if the alternative is the less well off cannot afford to travel to their workplace or heat their home this winter. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 15/05/2026This is back in 2022.Burnham will be a better leader than Starmer but will be damaged on the journey to become PM.Difficult to see how he creates his own narrative without trashing Starmer & Labour. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Agreed.Labour needed to be successful in government and be elected for 2 terms for this to happen. 030
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I think we are so used to media with a left or right slant that BBC/Sky/Itv news becomes quite boring when they try to please everyone.I try to watch all news from every side. Terrestrial news used to work but it just leaves everyone unhappy now. 010

jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Labour in a catch 22 situation.Progressive values work in London but boldly asserting them in many places gets you nowhere. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Would people jump from the Greens,Libdems & Tories to Rejoin EU? Some would have to vote Labour for the first time and others forgive Starmer all his failings. If it does not work what are Labour left with post defeat? 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/05/2026The perception is that Polanski has adopted Corbyn's anti Israel politics and antisemitic followers. The perception of Farage is he is aligned with the other parties on tackling antisemitism. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Awful post.No ifs or buts and then throws in Palestine. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 02/05/2026The media seem to think politics is the same as football.A few bad results and you change the manager.Starmer will stay for at least another year but I dont think it will benefit Labour or the country. 000

jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Reform probably reaching saturation point on X and attacked by Restore followers. I think Farage knows he can gain more voters from TikTok with more casual followers of politics. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/04/2026The deck was stacked against these new media outlets.When outlets like Vox,Buzzfeed,Huff Po etc.launched the media were alreday in trouble because of the transition from print to Internet.There is only so much news people will read. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I really do not understand why people post the Mail newspaper front page.The only people who read it or are influenced by it are 75 years and older.The battle for the next election is on YouTube,Facebook,X and Tiktok. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Starmer really does take the blame for this defeat.Blocked Burnham purely through self interest and slowly destroying the party. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Every good politician should want Josh Simons kicked out of politics for good.The Labour Together story is shocking.Hiring people to damage Labour & journalists careers is unforgivable. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 17/02/2026The only positive is that when a Tiktoker is saying something dramatic or inaccurate about a new or interesting subject you can use Google to find out the accurate story or subject. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 16/02/2026What is so stupid about this awful stuff is that McSweeney & Co.did not need to attackThe Canary or The Times.Starmer was always going to be Labour leader & the Tories were going to be kicked out of office. 020
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Labour advisors & activists destroying all trust in politics. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Why does the establishment media always want every party to tack to the centre where everyone else is? Part of the attraction of the Greens is that they are anti war & against nuclear weapons. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 26/01/2026All the poor comms stuff is making excuses for Starmer's quite obvious personal failings.He does not connect with voters,he has zero empathy,no charisma,no ideology,he is dishonest and has no positive story to tell. 120

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻♂️ 67626123
