You’ve lost me on this one George. We spend way too much of this conflict centring people who have their feelings hurt over the semantics of words. All whilst the Palestinians get slaughtered. I don’t want to play this game again.

But had the Brexit voters of Scotland and Wales voted Remain that would have been enough votes for a Remain win. Leave only won by 1.3 million votes and Scotland supplied 1 million leave votes to the total.

There are definitely pensioners in poverty and they should definitely receive more help from the state but increasing the state pension to everyone in that bracket when a lot of them are already wealthy isn’t the answer. More children are currently living in poverty than pensioners in the UK.

This isn’t a true picture of pension income in the UK. When you look at pension wealth or household income rather than just comparing the state pension you see that the current UK pensioners especially homeowners are some of wealthiest in Europe not the poorest.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

He was just really successful at annoying all demographics with different issues and so ensuring that no one ever came to his defence (even in issues we may have supported him in) because he’d given us too many other grievances to grumble over!

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Leveson 2 was meant to examine the relationship between journalists and the police and whether this enabled press misconduct. Am I missing something? But can you point me to any Starmer activity around tackling the media corruption?!

Honest to God there’s nothing I’d like more than to be proved wrong on Burnham. That he comes in and is the actual fair change we’ve all been waiting for! After Brexit, Boris and Starmer, I’m sick of telling people I told you so.

He’s going to treat Makerfield and the membership like they live in 2 different countries! With one side of his mouth he will tell the folks in Makerfield there’s no EU return on the cards and when he address’s the membership he will tell them we have to return. Labour continuity bull 💩!

Are we really falling for this? He’s moving like Starmer did in 2020 (with those now lost pledges) and just telling the membership what they want to hear! Let’s not fall for the none binding, heavy on the ‘one day’ empty rhetoric again!

shabizzle.bsky.social @shabizzle.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
He’s doing exactly what Starmer did with the 2020 pledges - telling the membership what they want to hear! And just like Starmer he’ll have no qualms dropping anything appealing he’s saying now for his Evil Corp bosses once in power.

But the conspiracist in me - thinks that Starmer could of done something about this media corruption, not dropped Leveson 2 and really tackled these dark influences on public opinion but he chose instead to get in bed with Murdoch pre election for his endorsement and here we are!

People should be weary of pinning their hopes on Polanski but the same has to be said for believing Burnham won’t renege on any promises he makes right now (he has a history!) or that he alone can save the country from Reform!

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

He’s not pro Palestine though. He’s a Labour friends of Israel member. He’s soften his opinion as he’s seen the public anger towards Israel’s actions but like on Brexit he’s a flip flopper! He’s basically a northern Starmer when it comes to politics!

So basically confirming that Brexit was a gift to the billionaires who wanted to shake the country down! The sovereignty to sell us out.

I see your point but as it doesn’t seem to ever land with any voter on the left or right when Labour try this stuff I always discount it as populist!Just universally unpopular.

You’re just factual wrong because there’s nothing populist or even remotely popular about Labour at the moment!

Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Well they’re rejecting what he’s doing now and even if he chose to be bold going forward on Europe, he definitely has no mandate because he tied his own hands by saying he would never rejoin the EU in his lifetime!

shabizzle.bsky.social @shabizzle.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Yes! Labour actually missed a big opportunity of not being bolder in their 24 manifesto pledges and giving themselves mandate for real change once in power when it was so clear after years of Tory scandal their vote had collapsed!

Ask google to name May/Cameron’s achievements and you’ll get a similar list. Doesn’t change the fact whats he’s doing with the judiciary, how he’s proscribed activists as terrorists, given NHS contracts to Palantir, appointed Mandelson and bashed immigrants is all very Tory!

Even their manifesto was Labour lite! Most Starmer supporters argued it was to win the Tory vote and once in power he’d be bolder and we’d see real change! I don’t see how he’s any different from Teresa Mays Gov! Still Tory but less overtly corrupt.

I keep saying it but he just needs to dust off those 2020 pledges if he’s wondering what people were expecting from a Labour Gov!

People are living longer but spending more of their later years in poor health. Heathy life expectancy has actually been declining in the UK.
