Progress - helped by the fact that X is now an intolerable far-right cesspit

It's not just his arithmetic that's a cause for concern - I'd say his 'Christianity' is looking pretty dodgy

This is what MAGA 'Christianity' looks like

It's the cowardice of everyone that claims to support democracy and that includes the fawning sycophancy of appeasing Western leaders like Macron and Starmer. An emboldened Trump will end democracy in the USA

He lives in his own misinformed bubble. While he's surrounded by fawning sycophants, it will carry on

Given the stupidity of the MAGA cult and the number of ambitious, Trumpy acolytes, Trumpism needs to fail comprehensively

Both Tories and Labour have failed to deal with adult social care funding and there's a looming crisis as more and more of these homes bail from a failing market. To make matters worse we have an ageing population.

When the President of the USA is a convicted felon who grabs women by the pussy and would like to date his daughter, Middelton as Mayor seems par for the course

I find it mildly reassuring that Tufton St think she's worth backing - they're clearly as deluded as she is

The frightening thing is he seemed to capture the mood of the room - or at least some of it

They're Reform voters who love a bit of anti-woke authoritarianism

The Art of the Deal must be a fascinating read if the opening move in a negotiation is conceding that one side holds all the cards

US version of 'this isn't the Brexit I voted for'. Oh yes it is! You vote for a clown, you get a circus.

They're just like the MAGA morons - they run to their own version of reality

It's not going to happen. Starmer has painted himself into a corner on this. He has proved to be inflexible and arrogant in office and I think he honestly believes he can make Brexit work - he can't and his attitude is no better than Frost/Johnson style British Exceptionalism.

Dear Cornish people, if you don’t stand up and oppose the 16 SEZs that are being installed right now in Cornwall, you can expect to see all public services privatised and absorbed by private equity, corporate taxes unpaid while ordinary citizens taxes are hiked>

Can't you organise some sort of selective plague?

Starmer's re-set is nothing more than deluded Frost/Johnson style, cake and eat it, magical thinking, British Exceptionalism.

Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
Right outcome for wrong reason. Moderate voters won't turn to Reform but they'll abandon both Labour and the Tories. In the low turnout vacuum Reform will gain with existing voter base.

I'm following you but having second thoughts since you saved Trump to Make America Great Again - I mean what sort of God are you?

It's like Rachel from accounts is on one of those supermarket trolley dashes with the UK economy - trying to trash her way to growth

Not sure Rachel from accounts has thought this one through.

I still use my Dad's penknife which he had when he joined the Navy in 1952 - still razor sharp.

If it's not already, this will become a huge democratic deficit but where is a pro-EU Party capable of winning under FPTP going to come from?

Trump's speech is, as always, meandering gibberish - I still can't get my head around the fact that allegedly educated Americans voted for him

'I went to see it' = must be true and nobody who supports her would a) realise or b) check

Does she say where the left-wing rule is going to come from?

The situation is exacerbated by FPTP ... it may even cause the problem
021
Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Perfectly feasible in my view but more likely to be through people not voting Labour rather than switching to voting Reform. FPTP is the problem.

Brexshitters never understood sovereignty and still don't.

This is Starmerism - see a problem, create a mission and believe it will happen simply because you wish it so

Labour have painted themselves into a corner - they won't touch the CU/SM so their only choice is sweatshop Britain. Frankly, if I'd wanted right-wing bastards, I'd have voted Tory - at least you know they're going to be bastards.

Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 21/12/2024
Worrying - as in previous times, the far right are exploiting ignorance, discontent, poverty and racism - the test for the UK will be whether there are enough useful idiots in a FPTP system to deliver a far right government. Brexit suggests they might.
010
Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Doubt it matters much. The Tories have been well and truly squeezed by Reform on the far right and Starmer out-Torying the Tories - where's she to go?
010
Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Too many people haven't learned the lesson of Johnson populism - when you vote for someone with a self-curated 'affable buffoon' character, that's exactly what you get. Badenoch's confected 'badass with moral certainty' character, like Farage's 'bloke down the pub', suits the hard of thinking

We'd like to play nice now - isn't a policy

Wilf Kernow @wilfkernow.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
Tragic as it is, Farage is set to become more influential not less. Under FPTP or PR he's set to become a power-broker or king-maker ... thanks to the plentiful supply of thick racists

It was always about this - Brexit for farming is a race to the deregulated bottom, megafarms, SEZs etc

🥱 Truly dreadful, no substance, no personality, no inspiration, no detail Just more missions, steps, pledges, foundations and family anecdotes

Predictably underwhelming

Another truly dreadful speech. Insincere, wishful thinking full of aspirations and anecdotes - never anything solid.
