From what I can see, after his entirely unconvincing "position" on gaza he has essentially disappeared from view. Blair notoriously used to do this a lot when he wanted to avoid legitimate questions, leaving brown nosing slaves to face questions from the proles.
So over to the mnet net, which I know has wise tentacles everwhere
Has the famous SIR dropped into your church fete/tombola recently? Selfies welcome.

What does from London and the north mean exactly? What happened to everywhere else?

You could just say 'thank you for sharing'

It's a conversation.
Your suggestion that I google was a tad condescending.
My question about what you found the best bits was perfectly reasonable and polite.
Since you seem to have watched/listened to it, would you care to answer?
(I did briefly scan some of the comments which after an initial flood of yelping seemed to become somewhat more critical)
anyway over you you - unless you are a google bot of course.

I am sure you could have googled it but will a youtube link do?

you and I think others do keep suggesting I google (not the best response in a conversation).
I assure you that I can use google and will be back when more time (hopefully tomorrow) with some of my finds.
In the meantime, since this is a forum/conversation, could you say what you personally found to be the best bits/most inspiring? Direct quotes if possible.
(yours from London and the north)

Do you have a link that isn't twatter?
All I can see is someone saying that this is the best bit:

"I promise this, a politics which treads a little lighter on all our lives. That’s the thing about populism or nationalism. It needs your full attention, needs you constantly focussing on this week’s common enemy. And that’s exhausting"

If that's the best bit I won't be getting excited any time soon.

It’s not the best bit. By a very long chalk.

I understand that Sunak has turned up today and announced that he can't win a May election. Is that the first time he has been honest this year?

Life is too short to look at a far right party's website, though i did look at the Tory one, tbh they are only one notch across from Reform.

Tice is awful.

DuncinToffee · 03/01/2024 19:52

I had to laugh at the Starmergeddon on Reform, the photoshop use was awful

Disappointingly, I’ve looked at labour , reform and conservative websites and non of them have women’s rights on the front page. The reform party website seems to be the least well thought through, so there is that.

Its very poor from all the main parties, inc LD's, we make up over 50% of the population.

Labour did seem to be about the future with five policy areas, rather than 5 pledges made 12months ago, non of which they have actually achieved (inflation halved because of global events, it was nothing to do with what they or the BOE have done)

I wish the UK would get over its obsession with class. It's 2024, not 1924.

I think it is important that I know my place and that I doff my cap to my superiors, who obviously know better because they are my superiors and therefore I will continue voting for them like a turkey for Christmas.

Is that the Reform or Labour website?

Nothing on their website about their policies on women's rights

They aren't suggesting it should be an armed conflict with the EU, so that's a start (Ben Habib clarified this)

Oh. That's disappointing.
Is there any evidence they know what a woman is and how to treat them?

Reform UK is branding themselves as 'the party of the working class'

They a held a press conference shown on GB News earlier today

Just pointing out there are other parties to vote for

So presumably they oppose Brexit then and will have a manifesto that includes rejoining the EU. I shall have to look into their other policies, perhaps they are the party for me.

I get it @senua, you just don’t like him and it would make no difference what he said. There are politicians who do that to me too. Most of the current cabinet in fact.

jgw1 · 03/01/2024 12:00

I haven't had time to listen to what Starmer had to say this morning, far too busy.

I do know that he had a beer once, doesn't know what a woman is, doesn't have any policies and But Jeremy Corbyn so won't be voting for him.
