How is this verified? A YouGov poll in America found most respondents believe Kirk’s killer was a Republican which isn’t true. The reason people think this is because you have MSNBC, CNN and other networks that are either a) obfuscating or b) wilfully misleading people on the killer’s motives...

Look at the cost of housing… assets have ballooned so not only are houses difficult for ordinary people to buy, they’re also spending record %s of their income on maintaining a house. I’m finalising a purchase of a house and my deposit was significantly more than my mum’s mortgage for the...

Right wing press peddling “disinformation”…

Not ‘likely true’, it is true. Some of the reactions on both sides is pretty bad. The amount of people ‘outed’ for celebrating a death, particularly the college kid chanting ‘we got Charlie in the neck’ over a megaphone is disgusting. Most people on the right have called for calm, quoting...

I waited until the reports came out that the killer had carvings on bullets to make a judgement. The motives were pretty explicit. If a prominent left wing figure was gunned down and there were bullets carved with ‘hey commie - catch!’ My first reaction is that the guy is a deranged right...

I read that and from the offset, it was a narrative that didn’t make sense. Particularly, after it was revealed he had a trans partner. Something the article skimmed over and to me, strikes me as something edited into the article after the initial drafts. If someone carved ‘hey fascist, catch!’...

Look harder, the texts between him and his roommate have published for all the news publications to sift over. In terms of UK sources, the Telegraph are reporting this and some of the quotes used are from there. Definitely not an AI overview!

Tyler Robinson appeared in front of a judge today. Investigators confirmed the following points: 1. Casing engraving meant the obvious rather than sarcastic references/insults used by the ‘gopher’ crowd. Specifically, ‘notices bulge uwu’ was a reference to being attracted to pre-transition...

Turns out the murderer was indeed a radical transactivist. All the people peddling the implausible idea he was a far right ‘gropher’ have been proved wrong.

Which ironically, kind of proves the point I was making. No, to be much more direct, cabinets need to be able to call upon people who have a diverse range of experiences. The Tory cabinets full of oxbridge-educated career politicians/city-boys wasn’t a good mix either. However, the Tories did...

Interesting comment for you to make. Surely you should understood my point rather than make out I was saying public sector workers do not have ‘real experience’. If you think a cabinet of ex-city workers who all went to oxbridge, perhaps you’d think similarly of a cabinet made up of...

It’s irrelevant to the point I was making. The Labour cabinet has very narrow experiences which makes them fundamentally ill-equipped to address certain issues the country has. Take, for example, the increase in employer’s NI. It’s had v predictable impacts i.e. employers either; freeze hiring...

Facetious responses. Teachers running education, or healthcare professions running health makes sense. Running energy, farming, business, economy or the home office, less so.

They need to allow physios to come onto the pitch and treat players and to stop the clock the clock when play is ‘dead’. As with other sports, there needs to be time limits to get the ball back in play and penalties that turn the ball over. This GK rule is stupid too. 8 seconds from when the...

True to the extent that you can often damaging relationships at the top of government. As ‘successful’ as the New Labour project was, the relationship between Blair and Brown was v fraught at times. What I’m talking about here is competent people with real life experience. To generalise, none...

Analysts reckon one of the reasons Danny Kruger defected to Reform because he couldn’t see a route for Jenrick to become leader. Not a household MP, but a serious Conservative thinker who’s been involved at the top level of Tory opposition/government. Boris is done, a lot of the anger around...

Not really. Who would you go for after Starmer? Some of the names listed below are genuinely scary. Wes Streeting, Miliband, Burnham are probably the most competent of the names being mooted. Possibly add Cooper to that list. Streeting wouldn’t get elected, Miliband has been rejected by the...

They’re doing the best they can with a bad hand. Burnham in particular faces a potentially humiliating scenario of parachuting into a seat to then lose his seat to a 19 year old Reform candidate! 😂 An issue the Labour Party has is that it has ran out of top talent, the same happened with the...

Keir Starmer’s unpopularity has just surpassed Liz Truss’. The deputy leadership is a de facto a referendum on Starmer’s government - Powell is heavily favoured over Phillipson to win. The latter heavily favoured by Starmer. There’s a budget coming up which could make or break the government...

Let’s rephrase that: @shmmeee shouted down anyone who suggested it was a possibility. At the current rate, Starmer won’t be PM by the end of the year, let alone the 2026 local elections or this time next year.
