blocking you as you seem extremely unpleasant, and a tad stupid as well

But Jonathan Ashworth is known to have done a great job for his community - he was an MP for years, so clearly his community thought so too. You're just so biased, you can't see the wood for the trees.

How am I denying reality? I'm just giving my personal experience - I knew well ahead of the election that we were going to face hard times - you can't have had your head stuck in the sand surely? We all knew. I always thought it was going to be awful for Labour, inheriting such a mess.

And there is the response when you're challenged.... You've made yourself look like a right tit.

You sound like a floating voter to me or a Russian bot or someone who doesn't do data. How has he armed Israel for years? Proof he doesn't care for Palestinians? where are the lies? Pledges reneged - all politicians do and of course the world changed after the pledges were written.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
don't be ridiculous. He is not arming Israel. Lammy undertook a full review. You guys just don't care about facts but they matter

I don't know how he can avoid him.... I'm sure he detests him! I liked Starmer's digs at Vance

He has to say this and I imagine this is the case for many Americans - millions of them are horrified by Trump

Are they taxing them? I don't see that they are

The Daily Mail know very well it cannot cancel the visit. It is wrong to put pressure on Starmer to do so. We might hate Trump but we do not hate all Americans.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
But Labour have put in place many taxes on wealth already. Farmers' tax, private schools, CGT, Non doms, Stamp duty to name just a few. I don't welcome welfare cuts but it's incorrect to say they haven't taxed the rich

“Keir Starmer’s statement could also be interpreted as a stinging swipe at Badenoch. “The Conservative leader defied all logic and political reason yesterday by leaping to Vance’s defence when drawn on his remarks.” www.politics.co.uk/politicslunc...

PMQs verdict: Keir Starmer’s subtext, directed at Vance, was scathing
The Conservative leader, quashing her every instinct and political impulse, stressed a series of cross-party talking points

They do and Clarkson is a pain in the proverbial. There have been a lot of taxes on wealth - I researched this just before Xmas. Most of it not making the news.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
Have you not heard what has happened to China and Canada then? Mexico? You really don't know much from the sounds of it. You didn't even know that we have to go cap in hand to the EU if we ever decide that we wish to rejoin. Bore off now, you're not bright enough to engage.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
They are back talking. They are negotiating. That is down to Starmer. People like you are laughable. So biased. Why don't you go and do the job if you think it's so easy? We are dealing with a hostile state now, the US I mean! Great job by Starmer but you'll never admit it.
000
Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
No it isn't Britain's decision actually. Britain can decide whether to ASK to rejoin, the EU decides. We already have trade deals, and I not asking for a new one, I am saying don't piss off Trump so we have to pay tax on goods. I don't think you fully understand my points at all

Looks like he has Zelensky back on track with Trump

Have you ever dealt with a narcissist before? Starmer has dealt with Trump extremely well.

And Labour have put taxes on the wealthy hence all the crying from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson. Also CGT taxes, stamp duty, private school, non doms etc.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
Not true. Labour have put taxes on the wealthy - quite a few already. Just ask farmers! and CGT payers... private school payers etc.

I didn't say "losing thousands of British jobs". I absolutely would support the UK rejoining the EU but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Why would the EU want us at this point? They would consider that we will vote Tory again soon and re-Brexit!

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
We are definitely not as bad as the US - FACT. Yes of course we have racists over here as well as misogynists etc. etc but at least our Prime Minister is not one of them! I'm afraid you can't say the same.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
um, you haven't answered my question either! I'm not dodging anything - this isn't an essay... The US is a major trading partner for the UK. In 2023, the US represented around 27% of UK service exports and 19.5% of service imports, making it a key player in the UK economy

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
Trump has gone rogue but that does not mean the US are not our allies. They are. We just have to try and sit out the next four years and hope Vance, who is even worse than Trump, doesn't get into power!

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
What you are not considering is how much our economy relies on the US. If we fall out with the US, our economy takes a nose dive even further! "Putting the UK first" means putting our economy first. Then also security.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
Incorrect. Maybe come and live here for a while, and then you might have a better grasp of our politics. For now though, you are clueless.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
I don't need to lecture you... we all hate Trump and Vance right? But we don't hate the American people (well most of them, I do hate MAGA) - we have to put up with Trump for as long as he is in, and I think Starmer has done a great job, swallowing his pride and putting the UK first.

Michelle&Duffy @michelle333.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
So what do you mean "when will Starmer wake up"? You think he doesn't know what a narcissist Trump is? I'm sure he hates him! But he has played him well. We have to keep the US on side. I'm sure we all feel very uncomfortable about it but sometimes needs must

Starmer did a brilliant job. Can you imagine how hard it was for him having to kow tow to that man baby? He is not a patsy but dealing with a narcissist who happens to be the most powerful man in the world!

We KNEW there would be spending cuts. If you didn't, then you weren't paying attention. I support Labour, and I voted for them, and I know they have a bloody hard job to do.

The alternative is that Russia comes for US. Vulnerable pensioners will still receive WFA, Labour are literally catering for hungry kids etc. It might help if you weren't so OTT, it completely turns me off reading rubbish like this.
