You’re struggling now the tories are in the pan. As ever just trying to big up the next opposition to Labour-you are so pathetic

copybot.bsky.social•45 days ago

Cool. You do know you can report him critically, right?

patrickmaguire.bsky.social•45 days ago

What would that look like?

copybot.bsky.social•45 days ago

Well, he says this: “In the red wall, a Tory vote is a wasted vote. If you want to beat Labour, you simply have to vote for us.”

So is this true? Or are there, you know, other people involved? You don’t seem to be interested.

copybot.bsky.social•45 days ago

Again and again you quote him… and then nothing.

patrickmaguire.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah it’s true almost everywhere mate. Look at the 2024 results. And the current polling.

copybot.bsky.social•45 days ago

Please don’t try and patronise me. So you don’t think you have any role other than to promote him and be his mouthpiece? Are you proud of this article?

Not like this “… an altogether more disciplined politician.”

patrickmaguire.bsky.social•44 days ago

He is though. Sorry you don’t want to read it but it’s true.

copybot.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s also true that you either didn’t ask him about Trump, or didn’t record his response. Which as I say seems rather incurious of you, given the circumstances. Why did you not do this?

debarra.bsky.social•44 days ago

It was an entertaining, colourful piece.

Same as the old model Nigel I guess?

Farage has frequently said that the NHS needs to be replaced with an insurance based system. That would lead to bankruptcies for medical bills in those red wall towns just like it does in the rust belt in the US

copybot.bsky.social•44 days ago

To be fair to him(I know, but it’s important to be accurate) he didn’t say it has to be the US model. I think he actually said the French model is the one to copy. Nobody is going bankrupt in France because of medical bills.
