But he just did the same with reeves

This is no time for experiment..It is time for qualified people in charge to look into the eyes of problems and solve them..Cancel PMQ’s and use the time wisely rather than shouting and scoring points never benefitting anyone.No progress,no wages and you lose the job.Heal the country.

KS could nail the clacton wanderer with policies. Need to hear what he is doing and to hear him do other things better.

Its the 2016 remain campaign all over again

chopperholic.bsky.social•3 days ago

Farage left the door open to this criticism by proclaiming in Trumpian fashion that he didn't really give a sh*t about the financing in an answer to a BBC reporter. Too much ego around this clown...

drboabrahamsen.physician.dk•3 days ago

I'm glad the words Milkshake Drenched Gimp wasn't part of it

willaminawallace.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is maybe true .. but most people on the street can’t remember Truss… but the still feel the pain of austerity..

sammaclaine.bsky.social•3 days ago

So Farage is going to cut £40bn a year from clean energy/net zero spending.
Problem is the Government doesn't spend it. Private companies do 😂😂😂😂

jonty24.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the Government needs to ensure they make this clear every time Farage mentions it.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or they could concentrate on doing everything in their power to make ordinary people’s lives better so they don’t feel a need to turn to snake oil.

sammaclaine.bsky.social•3 days ago

Despite all the effort Labour is putting in, don't underestimate Farage's ability to tick certain voters boxes. The US Democrats thought they were doing enough and look at the result. Messaging matters 🤔

jonty24.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree. But at least Labour seem to be taking Reform on a bit more now.

jlo-p.bsky.social•3 days ago

Instead of attacking Reform and, at the same time, adopting their policies, Starmer should focus on governing with a true progressive, Labour agenda.
If not Labour will join the Tories on the dustbin of history!

Remember what they had painted on the side of a bus.

Keir Starmer is pushing 250,000 - millions of disabled into poverty. Keir Starmer has no room to criticise anyone else when his own party are so sadistic and inadequate.

richdef.bsky.social•2 days ago

The cuts have not happened yet and decisions are on many things have recently been pushed back to the budget/fiscal event. IMF have upgrade UK growth next year. So far it has only been WFA. But pensioners did get a £400 pension rise.

kiwidreamsinspace.bsky.social•2 days ago

The 4+ rule on those disgraceful welfare cuts is a death sentence. The Labour Party are going to kill with their bloodthirsty welfare proposals, and they will likely go through because they seem to have an ideological hatred of the sick and disabled.

richdef.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't think it will actually happen. But let's reconvene in 6 months

kiwidreamsinspace.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure

sm-greenarts7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Starmer sells out the country to get deals from human rights violator and murdering Saudi government that bought Trump now bought him so how is he any different? as well as still supplying arms to Israel? Neither are the better option both should not be in government.

When the Worm Met the Lettuce: What Could Go Wrong?

sophiemac.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yet it's Starmer's fault Farage is where he is. If Starmer did what he was supposed to do as a Labour PM and truly served the people, not the corporations, then people wouldn't turn to Farage and we'd all have better lives

siry4ever.bsky.social•3 days ago

💯
Voters are unforgiving. Starmer and Labour are finished no matter what.

johnkaz.bsky.social•3 days ago

No chance

lozq76.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t think so.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s crashed his and the party’s already very limited popularity. He’s doubling down on what caused the crash. He seems completely oblivious. He thinks attacking Farage will scare people into voting for policies they viscerally oppose.

He’s finished. And so is Labour if they don’t replace him.

siry4ever.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's exactly correct.
The more Starmer attacks Farage the more voters will vote for Farage just to stick it to Starmer.
Labour didn't learn the lesson of Truss failed experiments. Don't mess about with people's finances.

sophiemac.bsky.social•2 days ago

People voting for Farage is just shooting themselves in the foot. Farage couldn't give a fuck about anyone but himself

rmcl82.bsky.social•2 days ago

Would “Farage Fucks Family Finances” be acceptable as a party election slogan with the Electoral Commission, do you think…?

richdef.bsky.social•2 days ago

Farage looking after us with his new policy. 🤣🤣

stefaniabarutta.bsky.social•2 days ago

FINALLY!

Maybe Farage is the real Temu Trump?

Wow… even ministers are out here placing bad bets. Good thing you know the smart play is investing 10 mins in phone therapy with me. 😉 @goddesslolanoir.bsky.social

zaneroo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Valid points I think however it may just bring the cons and reform closer together hastening the inevitable.

jgbsalford.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lettuce and a slug

lozq76.bsky.social•3 days ago

All Farage is interested in is money, and more money for the rich

Anyone stupid enough to think he’s a man of the people should really educate themselves.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•3 days ago

Millions of voters are asking themselves why they were stupid enough to believe Starmer would improve their lives. They won’t vote for him again. The media is presenting Farage as THE alternative for those people. The best hope is that they turn to the Lib Dems or Greens instead.

richdef.bsky.social•2 days ago

You mean the right-wing media are promoting Farage. Starmer did frighten Farage enough so that Farage went on ‘holiday’ when the EU deal and massive drop in immigration were announced. Farage avoids all scrutiny where possible.

Farage: “everyone gets a puppy!”

newman123.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lots more areas to attack Fraudage on
I hope Labour/others-keep it up
Suggestions
Fraudage support for Brexit that caused an increase in immigration and economic damage
Fraudage associates Trump, Tate , Banks +++
His dereliction of duty to Clacton-trips/other earnings
Reforms racist councillors

tillyburns.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Keir Starmer is absolutely right to call this out. We can't afford another reckless experiment like Liz Truss's disastrous mini-budget. Farage’s promises might sound appealing, but without proper costing, they’re a direct threat to people’s mortgages and economic stability."
