Perhaps the bastards who spout this shit could be asked on to justify how talking like Nazis and posturing like the BUF makes them worthy to claim Englishness?

100% with you. As someone who loves sport I find it stupid as well as offensive to think this way. Sport demos a key component, the key component in identity. “I’m English (or whatever) cos I want to be, I’ll sacrifice to be, I’ll work to be”.

I am now going to use facts like Kemi to promote my agenda. The Cornish Pirates rugby team has fan numbers and TV revenue at the level of the All Blacks. The team should therefore be promoted to the Premiership and all Cornish fans offered villas in the Caribbean based on this fact.

youtu.be/9NCxS__rtAo?... I am increasingly of the view that we need to actively teach about the nature, dynamic and danger of power. Trump and his ilk terrify me, not because they are facist but because you don’t need to have a swastiki or little red book to be evil. Love of power is enough.

Did you hear Yuval Noah Hari discussing Israel’s current approach with Ezra Klein? He argues that Judaism and Christianity are rejecting their teachings, they may well be Rome with the obsession with strength, conquest and power.

I’m just a nerd dad I know missile defence needs multiple layers. What are they Kemi? Sky Sabres? Ukraine’s new patriot substitute? The new Iris T? US patriots? What about dragon fire for close defence? What about radar? What are we defending? Only London? Faslane? Bases? Unserious. Clown.

I totally agree. But moving from here to there without facing the real danger posed by Hamas and Hezbollah means a bloodbath.

So a visiting professor in history is not a historian? A writer and researcher of history books is not a historian? I find myself baffled by your criteria…

There won’t be a massacre then? Israeli Jews can relax and rely on Palestinian forbearance and forgiveness? You seriously think that?

mylorjames.bsky.social @mylorjames.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I know more about that than most. Do you need reminding the Green Party has just signed up to deport, oppress or massacre every Israeli Jew? No? Because now, today very very few Palestinians, for understandable reasons, would stop Hamas doing to Tel Aviv what Israel is doing to Gaza.

mylorjames.bsky.social @mylorjames.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Don’t be a sanctimonious ass. The past is done. You want to help Palestinians? Get Barghouti out of jail. Get Iran and the Islamist’s out of Gaza/West Bank. Get Egypt and Jordan into a real peace plan. Get Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Then let Israelis and Palestinians negotiate their futures.

And this “pro genocide” stuff is mindless. You think everyone who disagrees with a conference amendment is pro genocide? Seriously? What exactly does your amendment change on the ground? What?

mylorjames.bsky.social @mylorjames.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
There you go. Disagree and you’re pro genocide. Let’s put this another way. Your amendment calls for a single democratic Palestinian state. What about every Jewish Israeli and Palestinian. They want that?A majority white foreign party just told the world they know better than those who live there.

According to Simon Sebag Montefiore this is Sinwar’s triumph. 7 October triggered such an extreme reaction students now chant for the end of Israel without knowing what they are really supporting. Islamism 1, Western pluralism 0.

You are delusional. Think like a real government. You’d risk jobs here, Ukrainian lives, Russian security threats and funding for public services. Our trade with Israel is tiny. They won’t care. I am sure you’ll feel better but it will achieve nothing and hurt real people.

Excellent. What will the US do? Perhaps ground our fighters by stopping software upgrades. Perhaps they will cut of intel to Ukraine. Perhaps impose 200% tariffs on uk imports. These good with you?

Can anyone articulate what, in policy terms, this motion means? Is potential PM Polanski going to outlaw Zionism? Impose trade sanctions on Israel? Ally with Iraq? Seriously, what good will this do for anyone?

Cornish here. We were here first. You lot all came in small boats (longships, galleys). Has Suella said how far back one need go? Because her logic means that all of the U.K. belongs to us Ancient Briton types. Hope you like your scones Jam First.

No. Here is one reason why. "A149: Strengthening Solidarity with Ukraine" was ranked 52nd of 58 in the prioritisation ballot of members, and the defence review 43rd. The motion opposing sanctions on Iran and the IRGC is 11th. I care about my brethren.

Jared Kushner’s company has large stake in firm with Israeli military links | CNN
At the same time Jared Kushner has negotiated in the war in Gaza, his company has held the largest stake in a firm backing businesses involved in Israel’s military campaigns.

I honestly think that a few films of asylum seekers arriving by boat being returned immediately to France would do more to shut down this madness than these ridiculous policies that are crippling universities, pressuring workforces and are just cruel.

My thinking is that all Europe manages (we can dispense with PE kits too except for teams). It would be a massive change but in a year or two no one would care. Best education systems in the world have no uniforms. Why do we persist?

Lib Dem’s can propose changes we all know are needed but main parties won’t dare. Reform want to make Britain a miserable, angry nation. How about a manifesto to create the liberal U.K. most people want? Lower costs (drug reforms save prison spaces, no uniforms makes school cheap. More ideas here!

@therestpolitics.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Hi guys. Listened to you re LD conference and how party cuts through. Maybe 6 or 7 radical policies to pick fights press can’t ignore? Total reform of drug law, rejoin, elect Lords, end school uniform and abolish standing charge? Thoughts?

I fear we are running down the clock. Hard decisions are needed, by the left about engaging with the perceptions of millions fearful of immigration and by the centre right on inequality and the damaging rhetoric of culture war. We are sleep walking.

I hope so. But if they are prepared to act with violence, and are armed and directed by Moscow or Musk, it won’t take many to harm us badly.

Is it possible that this action was triggered by useful idiots like Yaxley Lennon at the behest of Moscow? Or that Moscow is now planning to support this stuff as part of its grey zone actions?

I’m in favour of a pre-planned local supply system, for use as a backup. Hubs around farmers markets for example. Reactivate Cold War buffer depots for cities and have a pre-planned ration system. Have some insights into supply. It’s concerning.

Do U.K. pensioners actually have a lower monthly income? Middle class pensioners? There is a range of pensioner incomes. Property to rent or sell. Young people have nothing.
