"We've changed the party"

if only people listened to Starmer before giving him such a majority...

brennick.bsky.social•32 days ago

So they did.

This really fucking annoys me. I know there are bigger issues around the world, but this government keeps finding new levels of shit, squirming behaviour.

so............land mines.

I fear the giant US Spacehopper - and anyone lobbying on his behalf - hasn’t fully understood what is likely to happen should Trump succeed and subsequently descend on Scotland. They really, really don’t like him up there.

Why on earth would anyone vote labour still now? They’re just a Tory tribute act. The cabinet, the PM and his strategists just want to harm the disabled, destroy the environment and invite Donald Trump on various escapades. It’s like inviting Hitler over for tea. NEVER vote labour again.

Starmer should join the Reform party, they boot lick Trump a lot as well

gortoncynic.bsky.social•32 days ago

So...yes then...

The R&A have the perfect get out from this,as the new CEO hinted at last week. Attendance at the last Open at Turnberry was very low. The surrounding infrastructure isn't fit for purpose.

hairychris.bsky.social•32 days ago

That means yes, doesn't it?

callumparrish.bsky.social•32 days ago

I don't think the Government should have to publicly comment on every conversation. Not everything needs to be put in to the public domain.

How popular is that going to be on the back of an upcoming state visit for our worst 'ally'..and we pay.Trumps last visit according to the Guardian 1st August 2019 was £3.5million for Police and Tatler report £435,000 for entertainment. I think that invitation should be recinded.

Whaaat?! 🤮

Starmer could lead the world - not in responding to Trump, but isolating and containing his dangerous regime, like this ⬇️

Trump’s damage goes far beyond knocking back GDP a percentage point.

dextercrisp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Well, one hopes that the organisers of the Open tell him to get fucked.

They probably won't, of course, this is golf we're talking about after all

jpmendis.bsky.social•32 days ago

Starmer is a complete disgrace. It seems Labour has completely lost its moral compass

kiersturmer.bsky.social•32 days ago

every day a new embarrassment

llanc.bsky.social•32 days ago

I bet he wouldn't.

l44444ry.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hope he didn’t otherwise, to quote the great Spike Milligan, “The grovelling little shit”.

boogie1444.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sounds corrupt

chestmat.bsky.social•32 days ago

Benefit of doubt that they might instead be looking for good reasons to say no that allow both parties to save face and avoid escalation over something like golf (of all things).

robertwoolley.bsky.social•32 days ago

Constructive ambiguity is good when dealing with Trump...

christopherg.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exactly. Can’t see why anyone is getting upset by this. They’re just telling the orange felon that OF COURSE they’re trying to help it happen. So so Sad that the R&A makes the decision isn’t it…. That way they stave off some other lunacy that he might otherwise threaten the UK with

fredfredson.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'd like to pop up there in the middle of the night and take a big shit in the 18th.
