@davidallengreen.bsky.social Appreciate this may not be one you want to opine on, but is there anyone you could suggest who could make sense of the reasoning behind this judgment?

Have deleted a post from earlier. Some have pointed out it gave the impression that I was demeaning the experiences that people have had on another social media platform. While it was not my intention, I don't want the suggestion to even exist either.

I don't like even seeing this, but I feel it must be RP so people understand that Unite the Kingdom is no such thing. It's full of hate and division and men who would cheerfully take away all rights except theirs.

Bloody hell.
Thread - on Threads - of three posts from someone whose screen name is 'blueskies 1977':

 | have been an election agent for the Labour Party for 8 years Yesterday, for
the first time ever, | cried at a count. Was it because we'd lost a lot of seats,
because we had? No. | cried because a very hard working, dedicated, British
born Councillor of Pakistani descent had the word "deport' written next to her
name on a ballot paper with a Reform vote. When the doubtful papers were
shown to candidates and agents, | challenged the Reform agent to disown the
vote and he refused.

 blueskies1977
 | saw a number of other ballot papers with racist, islamophobic and antisemitic
comments. I'm used to the abusive comments about parties and policies on
papers, we tend to have a laugh with them. I'm also used to the many pictures
of penises on ballot papers (you guys are all so original), but | haven't seen so
much hatred written on ballot papers. What are we becoming as a country?
Why do people feel emboldened to put their hatred out there? It's vile.

blueskies 1977
For those commenting that the ballot paper should be rejected, in law it can't be. If a
clear voting intent is shown for the correct number of candidates, it will only be
rejected it there is anything, such as a signature, initials or name, that could identify
the voter or the official mark is defaced or damaged.

FWIW, it seems to me that Starmer's main failing is to expect a level of professionalism among his staff that he experienced as DPP. He doesn't have this, clearly, and is still trying to adapt. Few are saying he isn't making mistakes, but the existentialism surrounding those mistakes is profound.

A lot of people spent days going "OMG OMG OMG popcorn at the ready SiR kEiTh obvs lying; Olly Robbins has the receipts". Now they're like "too clever to get caught, they did it with VIBEZ." From "Starmer is really bad at politics" straight to "Starmer is Machiavelli reincarnated" - like every week.

I hope that the likes of @iandunt.bsky.social who was so vocal yesterday (to an extent understandably so) now review their original comments in light of this information. May still disagree with the ultimate decision, but at least with a better understanding of why it was taken.

I am not dunking on this account but it's important to explain a couple of things that they haven't understood. There are only two ways to defend against a ballistic missile. Either shoot it down, or stop it launching. We're not in a position to do the first, which leaves only the second. 1/n

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this. Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout. And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.

Lately, Reform UK have claimed that their hostility to migrants stems from an overwhelming desire to keep women safe. But have they been equally concerned when the threat to women comes from someone they see as on "their side"? I took a quick peek at their recent record. ~AA

Rather than go straight to Twitter, Starmer picked up phone to both presidents. That’s the role he wants to play & is uniquely able to do so. PM will keep trying everything to get Trump & Zelensky into a better place, as he did in Washington, as he did last night & will continue to do this weekend
