There’s a tiny flaw in Farage’s bribe, sorry, policy of making overtime tax free. There’s no way to implement it. Or not without completely overhauling PAYE. But of course nobody will tell you that until after an election.

The point at which you believe you know more about military strategy than your most senior generals is the point at which it really goes tits up. Ask Adolf if you won’t take it from me.

Same reason Musk was backed to buy Twitter. To shift opinion. To keep people thinking that the problem is the poorest and neediest. It’s expensive for billionaires, but nowhere near as expensive as the alternative.

OK, Khamenei is dead. And that’s probably not a bad thing for millions of Iranians. But what happens next, Mr Trump? Or is the West just further destabilising an entire region again without a plan? Because that’s worked so well in the past. #Iran

Always fun to see the people that most loudly decry Blair as a war criminal for dragging the UK into an illegal war now calling for the UK to support the US in another illegal war.

Not sure why it isn’t headline news in a country that still insists on FPTP elections, that the candidate put forward by HM Most Loyal Opposition lost their deposit. Both our voting system and our media are outdated and, quite frankly, useless.

Trump’s entire presidency is about avoiding jail, with a side helping of personal enrichment. There literally is nothing more to it than that.

The perfect embodiment of why Brexit was, is, and always will be an act of sheer stupidity. We are no longer a global empire; we’re a small and increasingly unimportant market that nobody was ever going to increase their cost and complexity just to serve our whims.

Totally impractical because nobody would invest in businesses, and businesses need investment. But what if the amount that shareholders could earn was capped at, say, 10% more than they could earn by leaving their money in the ‘bank’. That might work.

Hey British Political Media Be as fucking brutal as you like with Keir Starmer - scrutinise the fuck out of him. Only do it to everyone else equally too. Or it’s beginning to look like a rather undignified witch hunt.

010

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Frankly, I think the media treatment of Starmer and Labour more broadly IS a massive factor but it’s not the only one. Starmer’s sole mission seems to be “Let’s just make everything a bit better”; it’s noble and it’s needed, but how do you form a stable government and a comms plan around just that?

In an ideal world I’d absolutely agree. But in a world where public services are stripped to the bone there have to be some compromises and this feels, as long as the repayments aren’t punitive, like one that can be justified.

Student loans need to be interest-free, don’t they? Pay back only what you borrowed, at a reasonable rate, when you reach an appropriate earnings threshold. The current system is so counter-productive to the long-term prosperity of the country it’s untrue.

For a party that opportunistically points fingers at every misstep that the Labour, and formerly Conservative, government makes and promises that only they can do better, ReformUK don’t half make a lot of fuck-ups. #TrimmingError

Despite a 72-hour onslaught from almost the entire media, Starmer is still in post. Perhaps they no longer have the power they once did? And that would be a very good thing.

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Hounding out Starmer, and ultimately a Labour government that appear to be on the fringe of a global crime and corruption scandal, only ushers in a Reform or Conservative government that both appear to be at the very heart of it. Be careful what you wish for.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

Mandelson was picked BECAUSE of his links to the dodgy network around Trump. Post Brexit the UK was (is) totally isolated and the government understandably wanted to be as sure as possible to be on the right side of Trump. The question is how much of the really dodgy stuff was known at the time.

010

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

It is. And it’s totally pointless. The people saying it don’t want rid of Starmer, they want rid of Labour. And the only credible opponents right now, ReformUK, are so deep in the whole tangle of lies and corruption in the Epstein-orbit that Mandelson, let alone Starmer, will look like saints.

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Am I the only person that’s absolutely sick to death of the incessant “this must be the end of Starmer” narrative being rammed down our throats? It’s been constant almost since the GE, no matter how trivial the issue. And, if he does go, the next Labour PM will face exactly the same. It’s mental.

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Agreed And this supposes that the paedophilia is the only issue in the Epstein Files. Whilst on a human level that’s clearly the most important, some of the massive democratic interference and corruption that the files suggest almost certainly has caused harm far more widespread and almost as deep.

020

Turnipdodger @turnipdodger.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

So, main party wise, we have a choice of Labour, who seem to have been criminally idiotic about Mandelson, The Conservatives who seem to have actively colluded with disaster capitalists, or Reform who appear to be in deeper than the Tories. Time for an investigation and major reset of UK politics.

If it’s the people that voted for sunlit uplands etc. etc. then I think they’re perfectly entitled to be annoyed and demand what they were promised. If, however, it’s the snake oil salesmen that made the promises still demanding the undeliverable, they absolutely should describe the what and how.
