Putin will be rapidly arranging a phone call with him so he says the exact opposite the following day

I was replying to Kevin, the original message equated the headline to bring the same as Starmer's words
Starmer didn't say "people feel like strangers in their own country"
comment in response to

So Starmer didn't "say the same thing"

You should read the article. The headline does not reflect the poll.

"a country of strangers" is not the same as "feel like a stranger in my own country"

It's his Brexit campaign all over again. EU membership wasn't a big issue until the media helped Farage make it one, to peak for a few critical months in 2016.
comment in response to

Reform voters must be very confused which way to vote depending on whether Farage that day is claiming to be a free market capitalist or a state-interventionist calling for nationalisation

So Putin plans to use a 30 day ceasefire to regroup then

Can we permanently retire referring to POTUS as "Leader of the free world" too please?

I'm beginning to think Conservative party members aren't the best judge of character when it comes to choosing leaders. At least they don't get to inflict their madness on the whole country any more.

What, you're telling me the banking sector was a profligate pit of expenses and perks in the early 2000s? Shocked I tell ye

5. They're pissed off with employers NI going up as it risks their dividends and bonuses so they'll throw their lot in with the farmers to add pressure on the government

Let's hope it all goes wrong once Reform actually have to pick candidates and end up with the usual racist thugs standing

I'm guessing these "great development teams" would be from companies owned by the Trumps

Not bad but I think he's naive about a "small proportion of the population" once Farage and the right wing press whip up the hard of thinking.

Richard Holden MP will not rest until one of his spurious "Kier was just as bad as Boris!" complaints is successful, otherwise everyone would just thing he's a timewasting idiot with a vendetta

Sounding very Putinesque there, to the surprise of nobody that's been paying attention

Anything Israel might think to stop doing, if that tomorrow came?

Yes all that, but also probably the quickest and easiest way to split NATO and pit the EU against the US
Wonder which Russian dictator might be quite pleased with that

Is that just like his private prosecutions of those involved in the Manchester airport
It's a ludicrous dangerous idea that he has no intention of doing beyond generating headlines, but no doubt he'll be allowed to just get away with it unchallenged

You don't have the moral high ground here

Coincidentally I concluded you were beyond help a few posts ago.
But don't go feigning outrage the next time a group you don't like tries to justify killing people they don't agree with
comment in response to
post
So we don't need laws or democracy to change those laws, or a justice system, we'll just ask you who deserves to be murdered based on your morals and judgements.

That's irrelevant. You're justifying violence against people acting legally just because you don't like their decisions.
comment in response to
post
So using violence to achieve his political aims, which is the definition of terrorism.
Your point only works if you dehumanise CEOs doing a job.
His actions may have been understandable, but that doesn't make them justified

Farmers like their tax loopholes and don't like the threat of them being closed
Newspaper owners also like their tax loopholes and don't like the threat of them being closed

Incumbent businesses tend to become more bureaucratic and less innovative as they grow, but plenty of big organisations using this approach internally.
comment in response to
post
Yeah going with the 'we're going to act like a startup' is more bad comms IMHO. Should have focused on changing Whitehall culture to be more innovative and risk taking to reduce wasted time and money
comment in response to
post
This approach McFadden is talking about is all about incremental continuous improvement to avoid "magic bullet" solutions that waste masses of time and money
comment in response to
post
Yeah I think the flaw/difference here is that the press will be all over every "failure" and paint it as not knowing what they're doing.
comment in response to
post
They've been reading Eric Ries' Lean Startup, and seeing what's worked in GDS (Gov Dig Service)
The headlines will focus on 'startup', but all he's saying is "maybe we should invest half a £million quickly to see if it works first" instead of "let's spend 3 years and a £billion and find it doesn't"

And what happens when they break the law?
Because at the moment the Electoral Commission will issue a sternly written press release after the election, fine them 50p, and ask them ever so nicely not to do it again

Do we have any comparable figures for the last couple of years?
comment in response to

Indeed. An element of his politics which is almost always glossed over.
Reform probably a much closer fit for him these days as Farage's backers try to repeat Trump's leveraging of the evangelical right (also see Farage's sudden interest in abortion limits)
comment in response to
post
Agree about the Comms, but running a country can't be limited to three word slogans. It felt like a business presentation by a big consultancy and missed the mark.
But shouldn't the press have scrutinised those simplistic slogans with the same vigour they're critiquing Labour's attempt at detail?

I can see you're not answering in good faith and will just continue to post your collection of images, so you've earned yourself a mute

Erm doesn't appear to be an answer to my question, so I'll try a different way.
Why does it compare short periods of conflict with decades of Israeli/Palestinian coexistence but suddenly draw an arbitrary line in the sand at 2023?
What would a chart of 2023-24 look like?
comment in response to
post
Why does the Palestinian bar in the chart stop counting in 2023?
References to genocide are generally referring to the events of the last year or so
