It's interesting that Ed Davey is quickly becoming the voice of the government's opposition. What the Tories need to work out is why. Is it Kemi Badenoch herself, or is it an unfair playing field? Either way they're sliding into oblivion.
What a dangerous idea. Keep that to yourself, please, or making sense may spread, and that would never do. I mean, what if poverty and war were eradicated??? What the military-industrial complex and the neoliberals do with themselves?
What we should do is agree to give billionaires a big shiny badge to say they're billionaires, that only billionaires can wear, in exchange for everything above £1 bn.
They've done well. They've made a billion. Here's a big shiny badge. Now do good with your billions.
He wasn't accusing anyone of anything. Factual statement, although he does a bit more than lick Trump's boots, which Ed is obviously too much of a gentleman to mention.
Has there been a time in history when a peace plan was created without one of the nations involved in the war? I’ve been researching- asking if there is precedent for this.
This move will completely isolate the US from Allies we have had for decades. It’s disheartening.
'Czech history describes the Munich Agreement, or as known in the (now) Czech Republic the ‘Munich Dictate’ as “about us, without us,” – Czechoslovakia was not even permitted to be a party in the negotiations.'
Those in UK unwilling to admit Farage is a Putin chaos agent working to divide, weaken & destroy democracy (Brexit), are the same complicit cowards as USA Republicans who STILL support Pres Musk & Trump as they become leaders in Russia's global authoritarian movement.
Ukraine is the tipping point.
Well. Look what just popped up! From tireless & courageous award-winning UK journo @carolecadwalla.bsky.social ...
I never doubted it especially when Farage came to USA to publicly support Trump & Trump promoted Brexit: https://bsky.app/profile/carolecadwalla.bsky.social/post/3lhynqrs3bk24
Yeah I know what you mean 😕. I'm sort of feeling a bit of a sea change over the last 24 hours from Starmer and the rest of the leadership in a good way... but that might just be wishful thinking. 🤔
I still have hope but confidence is more difficult to muster. Who could even think to shelter under fat lad's bingo wings with this level of global instability?
It's weird but I did all my panicking last summer, as the U.S. election drew closer. Now the proverbial's hit the fan, I'm coping better than I thought I could. Proof our fears can be worse than reality.
My new motto: Wait until it happens... then 💩 yourself. 😉🤣
Given that Badenoch appears to have lost the plot in fighting Farage for Trump’s acknowledgment and the populist vote, Davey and Starmer, if they are wise, are in a strong position for the next election, which is likely to be held after the next presidential vote.
I don’t think he’s been a ‘wet lettuce’ & voters didn’t either since he now has 72 seats in Parl.
The main problem is that the press prefer to & do platform Reform.
The odd case of participants in a conflict announcing they can be peacekeepers...but only if they can hide behind the US. Its rather weird to see liberals hooting with delight over this, without really thinking through the rather absurd nature of it all.
Unfortunately they haven’t though, have they? Ukraine has an active army of almost 1 million. The UK’s army is currently around 80,000. This illegal invasion can only be ended by diplomacy.
It’s been useful for showing up the Russian significant deficiencies. And of course, the size of an army is a crude measure of its effectiveness (another lesson the Russians have learned the hard way).
Reform are a traitorous foreign influence operation with more than a little resemblance to Mosley. The BBC needs to be thoroughly investigated for infiltration by the Kremlin for promoting Reform.
mind you I made up the USA military buying thousands of Tesla cybertrucks the other day as a joke about Musk bailing out his own company with government money and turns out they do plan to
Ok a little help please. Is bootlicking more or less subservient than arse kissing? As I see it:
1. Ring kiss
2. Arse kiss
3. Boot lick
4. Ring lick (optional)
Ed Davey is the voice of a sensible opposition party.
Every week in #PMQ’s he asks the PM the questions that matter.
Tories & Reform flap impotently in the background.
Whilst I agree with defending ourselves against aggressors any wider defence should be proportionate with every other country at risk from them. Be very careful about what Starmer says. He is friendly with Farage.
I wonder how long it will be if that lunatic Trump remains in charge, before our troops will be facing US advisors on the side of Putin ‘s army in Eastern Europe ? The way Trump is acting anything is possible !
The special relationship with the USA is over... Starmer might do deals with rapists but the UK do not. It would be a complete betrayal of everything we stand for. We must stand with NATO and suspend the USA's membership. Involve our soldiers and we will have Russia and America turn on us.
I agree that with Trump in charge there cannot be a special relationship . Surely Starmer is standing with the European Alliance and NATO . I am not sure what else you would want him to do ? He will try to engage with Trump but it is doomed to failure IMO .
Nazi Nigel has been funded by Putin/scripted by Bannon Musk and the rest of the white male supremacist anti social media Broligarths since way before Brexit
As has the majority of the UK MSM
All that’s happening now is long planned and intrinsically linked to Brexit
And it’s already blatantly obvious that the complicit Tufton St puppet MSM will be 100% on the side of TrumPutin and will accuse the Labour Govt/EU of being the warmongers if/when any peacekeeping troops are deployed
If the AfD is Musked into power or gains enough votes it will get even worse

We need more of this. 👍

Worthy of my respect Ed. Keep calling the fascists out!

Meanwhile BadEnoch says she will only back it if the soldiers sent are white Christian hetrosexual men.
