And what will the Tories and Reform do ?
The black hole exists how would the Tories if they had been reelected have filled it ? Wouldn’t be cuts it would be not existent benefits 14 years have made this country poorer not 9 months.
We've had Thatcherite government since 1979.
And there is no such thing as a black hole, in this context
Your ignorance of the most basic things is scary.
Sure, your payslip might look respectable on paper, but try stretching it to cover rent, food, and heating. Meanwhile, the ultra-rich are too busy debating whether their next super-yacht should have a helipad or a second infinity pool. https://aiwillybillhuman.substack.com/p/the-great-economic-vanishing-act
I really agree with this sentiment. The USA is giving the rest of the world a lesson in the consequences of populism. They’re doing us all a very big favour.
Spot on, think how much cloud services we buy off all the tech bros for our UK infrastructure, Microsoft for cloud & software OS, we are knee deep. In the EU they are creating thier own cloud, thier own software tools, we could switch off use a different OS. We can do it, we need to chose to do it
Think about how bluesky does social media differently, you are in the right space right now using an alternate way - you can also choose to use all this as a leverage point against the large corps and see what that brings diplomatically.
In England yes, tbh even the libdem charlatans are to the left of labour ATM (just remember they are liars with no principle) if you can vote SNP or Plaid in other nations you should
He's a podcaster who grew up very working class, then made a fortune as a trader. Now he basically campaigns for the extremely wealthy to pay more tax. His thesis is that because the wealthy pay little tax they can buy all a nations assets and squeeze everyone else out.
He's not wrong, but also, look what has happened to living standards in the UK over the last 10 years. We've been voting for populist governments since Brexit and this lot seem no different
Considering both Labour and the Tories are cut from a similar cloth, Reform is mini-Trump, Nick clegg ruined Lib Dems for at least a generation, and green just doesn't have the power, exactly how should we vote?
Green could have the power if you stopped all this -“they can’t win” business. They have as many MPs as Reform & yet we talk as if Reform will be they next govt. Start talking the GreenParty up.
So more of the same.
Wage slavery, poverty, etc.
Oh, and using the term oligarchy is a cop out, as capitalism, is the enemy, as everything comes from it.
Completely agree. Unfortunately the one percent dictates what the majority believe and how we need a major shift in the ideology of the masses before this will change!
Absolutely agree. Unfortunately where I live, and I'm sure it's the same for many, I have always been forced to vote tactically in order to keep the worst out and am forced to settle for the lesser of the evils. I don't expect reforming of the electoral system will happen in my lifetime!
Ok, so explain how to get the main broadcasting channels to big them up & how, under current voting systems the masses can be persuaded to vote for their benefit rather than their detriment? Most people are forced to vote tactically. Pragmatically Greens can't currently win.
We will go in the wrong direction:
RUK.
BadEnough will keep Tories in disarray.
Labour will lose support following Tories playbook too much and its voters too few.
LibDem are awakening but not enough.

Hard to disagree with him.

People should stop pretending
