Mahmood's proposals for changes to indefinite leave to remain are racist, and designed to appeal to racists.
They will actively damage the country's economy over the long term.
Absolutely bonkers.
It's another proposal that's indefensible - so there'll be a u-turn in 3 to 6 months.
We have a winner!
Approximately half of US adults (who could be bothered) voted for this.
Half.
This of course is a load of crap.
He started a war, didn’t know how to win it, was immediately over his head, became quickly overpowered by an enemy he vastly underestimated, and now is trying to sue for peace and then convince you that this was a victory. Dying empires produce leaders like this
I think I know the answer - but are their voters really this stupid?
But there's nothing anyone can do to stop lots of lies about the UK as awhile, or London in particular being posted online and amplified - deliberately - by many (most??) UK media outlets.
Mr Principle strikes again!
I don't use Twitter/X anymore, but do use Threads - basically to ensure I pick up on what the right thinks.
And lordy - the MAGA right in the US are truly gaga. They've seen the same footage we all have, but are convinced the ICE agent shot the person 3 times in self defense.
The US is fucked.
👏👏👏👏
Completely and obviously correct.
The lack of political nouse in no. 10 while no longer surprise, is still absolutely baffling.
She's just a racist.
As are most complaining about modern London.
Because what they are complaining about isn't what they say they're complaining about - the city is safer, cleaner and the food is miles better.
They are really complaining about the much greater levels of visible multiculturalism.
Spot on.
My knowledge was from the early 1990's to 2025, and even over this time period it became noticeably safer as well as cleaner.
👏👏👏👏
This is pure cowardice.
The tool is,allowing activities which are against the law in the UK (pornographic fakesarealready illegal).
Their moderation refuses to take them down when people complain.
This isal already covered under existing rules.
They should be putting public pressure on Ofcom.
It shows the media the primarily consume & the fact they mostly believe it.
Which in turn means, I think, that the return on focussing messaging and policy on these voters has a very limited impact - they believe stuff that's obviously not true, if it's pushed through "their" media or politicians.
Spot on.
Large SUVs should be much more expensive to own and drive.
👏👏👏👏
Have these people never seen The Matrix?
Belatedly discovered a fully forced Q further down the Michael Ashcroft poll: 40% of people currently intending to vote Con would rather have Starmer as PM than Farage lordashcroftpolls.com/2025/12/daft...
Spot on.
It's beyond satire, it really is.
Sam Freedman, when commenting on the disability benefits fiasco, said that what should be happening in no. 10 *as a minimum* is asking "can one of our ministers defend this policy to reasonable people in an interview".
As with the changes to disability benefits, the answer is "no they can't".
Exactly.
Exactly this.
Spot on.
Depressingly it seems so.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.
👏👏👏👏
Spot on.
It's absolutely fucking mad.
