You are living in an echo chamber. Carry on slapping yourself on the back and sniping from your comfortable office chair.

Anyway I'm getting off BlueSky as it's turning into something it wasn't meant to be. It's probably impossible to create a platform which encourages and enables actual thought and dialogue rather than childish statements.

"All refugees are lovely people". "Starmer and Lammy are evil and personally responsible for killing Palestinians". It's just pathetic lazy discourse.

You are basically saying thd Chancellor (a politician) isn't having to make a difficult decision which is obviously nonsense. So many posts now on Blue Sky that are unbelievably simplistic. "We must rejoin the EU today". "Starmer and Lammy are evil, etc". "All of the MSM media is to blame blah blah"

Although Angela Rayner has been touted as Labour's answer to Nigel Farage, Britons are split 28% to 28% on which would make the best prime minister, whereas Starmer beats Farage by 15pts Rayner (28%) vs Farage (28%) Starmer (44%) vs Farage (29%) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Nonsense. Do you really think politicians don't have to make decisions that are difficult?

Totally agree. The bureaucracy, the powerlessness, etc. Very effective. I think a remake of the original Star Wars film in the Andor style could be brilliant.

Could say the same for Hungary, Poland, Italy. He's trying to address the issues not ignore them.

Keir Starmer has found Nigel Farage’s weak spot… and it’s Liz Truss www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-...

What’s better than writing about the disgraceful failure to build any reservoirs over the past three decades? Getting some built. Great stuff from @emmahardymp.bsky.social and Steve Reed today www.gov.uk/government/n...

Or trying to run a modern economy? Pensioners have done very well over the last decade, young people not so much. Stop oversimplifying so much.

I'm sad about my loss of interest. Also the endless bashing of boundaries makes it more boring not less. Twenty20 is exceptionally dull.

Totally agree. I was cricket mad from 10-30 but now have near to zero interest. Used to love the Test calendar and the ebb and flow through late Spring to end of Summer. I really can't keep up with how much cricket is on and in how many formats. What's the point of The Hundred?

Andor so good, great to not have all that jedi nonsense in the way. Bureaucracy, petty jealousies, grudges, imperfections, corruption. Excellent. #andor #starwars

You cannot have a failing state and a growing economy. The Tories taxed British businesses by running down the NHS and taking police off the beat - and they're still talking the country down. Labour is backing British business and getting the economy moving again.

When you haven’t shut your gob about ‘surrendering to the EU’ since 2016, but you decide to go on holiday when Starmer’s actually debating it in Parliament. #ukpolitics

It was good to have the opportunity to talk about the UK/EU summit on Times Radio yesterday. We covered a lot of ground, from the widespread business support for the deal, to the opportunities for young people that will come from a youth mobility deal & membership of Erasmus+ youtu.be/ZIihvs7nuds
