80% of Britons and 56% of Americans don't like Elon Musk. If you don't like Elon Musk, Like this Post. Lets see if we can make it the most liked one on Bluesky.

I remember when Kier Starmer prended to be so pro EU he helped tank Labour's election chances in 2019 and lumbered the nation with hard Brexit to pave the way for his leadership bid.

Good idea…Their lying has gone too far now….wont happen right enough.
