Every country seems to have their own village idiot.

The only option for many appears to be Labour, Tory or Reform U.K. Ltd.

Not surprisingly they are all bankrolled by the wealthy, big businesses and corporations!!

This is NOT a democracy!!

Well said. End FOM Now !!!

...yet instead of cropping to the headline and including the image, you accidentally participate in the normalisation of Iggle Niggle Fartage in the political discourse. To me, this is still subliminally promoting HIM and the bullshit he spouts.
I love you, but we don't need to keep seeing him.

It’s time Labour stopped messing around and pandering to the extreme right. They need to use their majority and start irreversibly smashing up the far right’s project.

brexitbin.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes. The problem is, for a decade now, Labour has been run by its two extremist wings – first the left with Momentum, now the right with Blue Labour. The sensible, idealistic, pragmatic and progressive voices in the centre of the Lbour Party have been ignored.

Ooh, look, gay icon, Farage, having his third orgasm of the night.

alltingsconsidered.bsky.social•22 days ago

Only an idiot who hates everything left-wing (ie what Labour used to stand for) would believe you can defeat the far right by becoming more right-wing and pandering to nazis.

Just read Reform's manifesto. Tax cuts and higher public spending, problem-free patriotism.

Sure, it's simplistic populism, but it's a vision that's set against technocratic TINA politics.

Labour have to counter this - rejoining would provide the economic boost to make their vision palpable.

So Britain officially has the same system as America now where the politicians are all owned by Putin, Netanyahu or a billionaire ghoul like Peter Thiel!

We need change!

rosso63.bsky.social•21 days ago

We are heading the same way as America and this will all end badly. It saddens me that people can’t see that this ‘business’ is using division for power. It’s all about money and always has been.

Starmer’s just like Biden. Terrified of the right wing and trapped in amber.

Farage will be PM. Soon.

victoria1921.bsky.social•22 days ago

Brexit broke Britain & snake oil grifter, Farage, is largely responsible for this disaster. Labour has to address his ugly anti EU lies & his connections to Heritage Foundation/Project 25, right wing think tanks - which are currently dismantling democracy in Trump’s USA.
🙏 use better, honest comms

brexitbin.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sadly, the founder of Starmer's Blue Labour (Glasman) is a Labour Trumpist who's good friends with Bannon.

pete-k.bsky.social•22 days ago

Reform have bombarded Runcorn, this tactic is fine for only one seat but cannot be sustained at a general election. Farage can't be everywhere.

They have a mayor now, they are now subject to scrutiny and criticism.

I can remember that the SDP were going to overturn politics in the 1980's.

Cameron found that out when he tried to negate the RW of the Tories

thatladytanja.bsky.social•22 days ago

It’s Runcorn. Have you ever been in Runcorn??
Full of isolationist racists with delusions of British grandeur that only voted Labour because they are preconditioned to hate Tories, and now found their natural alternative.

perryfin.bsky.social•22 days ago

At least give us FOM back so we can all become migrants in Europe.

andrevanes.bsky.social•22 days ago

Eventhe slightest move in the direction of EU will raise the Brexit discussion. Therefore firm steps like a customs union and alignment on phytosanitary standards are strategically smarter as they will have significant economic impact. That will silence reform, not an tiny EU youth mobility scheme.

mjjseagull.bsky.social•22 days ago

I suspect the result is because the previous Labour MP was convicted of attacking a constituent.
That will always provoke a reaction from voters.

erikthered451.bsky.social•22 days ago

Labour needs to realise that the red wall no longer exists. Campaigning to truly mitigate Brexit by reversing it will appeal to a broad swath of the public. Currently, it is playing into Reform’s hands

simonsummariser.bsky.social•22 days ago

Reasons to oppose Reform:
1. Farage is not a principled person. He’s an opportunist.
2. He’s responsible for the fiasco that is Brexit.
3. He’s a Trump apologist & an admirer of Putin.
4. His economics are “Trussian”.
5. He’s a climate change denier and will exacerbate harmful UK climate events.
