What a bunch of fucking idiots, seriously. Not just destroying themselves but democracy as we know it.

While we remain passive, those with money will always rule us.
They are not a listening party. Starmer confuses stubborn arrogance with being stalwart.
I hope there’s no Röhm at the top for Streeting.
How can they be so fucking timid in the face of the onslaught against democracy happening around the world

We've tried that, and it has failed spectacularly.
They are just not rushing through a knee-jerk, targeted change, which is never a good thing when it comes to legislation.
I think this decision is actually the right one.
Defeat from the jaws of victory doesn't go anywhere near describing how I feel about Labour right now.
I just wonder if Starmer could use this to his advantage to say well they have accepted a non elected foreign person influence to try and gain power so therefore as a nation we can offer a second referendum to rejoin the Eu?
UK is totally screwed.
But if as i think certain media publishers back Farage on taking money from Musk surely it blows out of water the so called taking back sovereignty argument and gives Starmer the get out of jail card?
Labour have boxed themselves in on just about most issues they have touched.
They are spineless, disingenuous & inept.
Patience maybe required then use Faragists cronies hypocritical short comings against them to his advantage?
Maybe they can enrich themselves before the hammer drops, maybe not.
Ban it, and they claim they're victims of the state and get a boost from idiots who think 280 characters on social media is a dissertation.
Allow it, and Elon buys/promotes all the bullshit he wants (he already does anyway).
The only thing preventing it from happening is Labour's incompetence and/or self-interest.
There is no excuse for not sorting this out.
Fucking idiots!
Gotta ask ourselves, why doesn’t he want to talk about it? If there was even a single benefit, he wouldn’t ever shut up about it!
He's already bought America.
Excellent commentary https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/22/nigel-farage-elon-musk-nick-candy-photo-stewart-lee?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
Well let's hope they can.
They may need to put some of their own money where their mouth is
Welcome to the Real world.
We told you Labour were not to be trusted.
