Hannah Spencer on politicians, here the Minister for Apprenticeships (Gillian Keegan at the time): she "doesn’t even understand the system that she’s in charge of. These people don’t know what day of the week it is half the time” and our lives are in their hands.

Post by @metaphorqu.bsky.social stating "there is a worm tongue aspect" about Zack Polanski.
Bio of @metaphorqu.bsky.social La Reine des Metaphores self-identifying as a "Centre left [4 repeated red rose emoticons] Labour" voter.
"worm tongue"
You might be forgiven for thinking that Labour are running a dehumanising ad hominem astroturf campaign against Polanski.
They're running scared.

"If we can't get to the parents, hit their children"
This is #Zionism. This is the ideology Keir Starmer supports "without qualification". Our prime minister, the head of the Labour party, in the 21C.
How did it come to this?

Let's hope this and previous marches, I was apart of 3xRemain Marches, and the kicking #Labour is receiving will change their policy of innuendo to "Joint health EU" SM/CM/FoM/Euro otherwise #Tactical #Voting will decimate their vast, but waifer thin majority in #GE2029
Wait until #NigelFarage wins #GE2029. Then you will get to see how bad things will really get with #healthcare after the #NHS is abolished. #R4Today

I hope that you are right. But #NigelFarage won the #Brexit referendum with the Russian help that he will get again in #GE2029. That is not counting the #MediaBias and huge donations that he benefits from.
Sadly, it will be coming to the UK after #NigelFarage is elected in #GE2029.
Nice explanation of the advantages of Australia's preferential voting system here, contrasted against the UK's First Past the Post.

This would seem to be the root of our problem, the cause of so many banes of our lives, 'The British Problem', that government does not exist to make our lives better.
Elect someone with a policy to change that.

Sorry to try, but #ChildrenOfMen shows the “joys” that #NigelFarage will bring after #GE2029. youtu.be/161h1o168xU?...
Sorry to bring you down, but #NigelFarage will be PM after #GE2029 thanks to #MediaBias (including #Gbeebies) and Russian help.
I don’t like it, but #NigelFarage will win #GE2029 thanks to his lead in the polls and the support he will get from Russia.

The 99% Organisation has a post on the urgent need for better government and better policies.
They set out Five Steps for change.
Not least of these is fixing our democracy, and improving people's lives.

Success will depend greatly on the perceptions of that by the wider electorate, and there's a LOT of work to be done on that.
#GE2029
There's a strong appetite for change for the better, and a dislike of 'isms generally.
Perhaps someone offering practical policies that improve people's lives, detached from those tired labels, could provide the breakthrough we need.

For any who want to know what the UK will be like after #GE2029, watch #ChildrenOfMen youtu.be/09Z24HxyBsY?...
The alternative is government regulation and you know who that will be after #GE2029 @tonymascarpone.bsky.social
It has got #NigelFarage elected in #Clacton, and with his help from Putin, it won him Brexit, just as that help will make him win #GE2029.
Just a reminder that #NigelFarage and #ReformUK will be ending the #OneInOneOut policy once they are elected after #GE2029. europeanconservative.com/articles/new...
#NigelFarage got us to impose economic sanctions on ourselves when he sold us the nightmare of #Brexit. Thanks to his rich backers and the bias in the media, he will win #GE2029.
"As [?] collects an ever more unwieldy set of dubious electoral propositions ... it resembles the game Buckaroo. Each extra bizarre policy makes the electoral donkey ever more likely to kick it off"
Had to reread this to check it didn't refer to Labour. It's Labour too.

"welfare benefits are a transfer, not a cost"
I'd like to be able to make this argument better.
On the disincentive doubt every UBI study I've come across showed people work harder when they're not being dragged down.
