MN is a discussion forum where people give their views. It is allowed and shouldn't result in accusations of bad faith. FFS.

Maybe learn to read the room? With respect, if every single comment you make is disagreeing with the general opinions of the posters on the thread, that should tell you something. I think twisty needs a safe space to air, and some empathy right now.

You're in good company on this thread @twistyizzy 💐

Agree Flowers

Upstartled · 02/04/2025 21:22

Thirded.

I'll keep my fingers crossed @twistyizzy . To think, all this distress so they can raise money for breakfast clubs on a budget that teacher's can't deliver and which most kids and parents aren't fussed over. 🙄

I think I can see on Trump's chart that the UK is getting 10% tariffs.
He keeps wobbling the bloody chart!

EU 20%

Do you mean read the echo chamber? It's a discussion forum so if you don't want discussion, I'm afraid you are in the wrong space.

Upstartled · 02/04/2025 23:00

It'll be interesting to see how Europe responds to the tariffs, although at 20% it's not quite as some feared, expecting it to be perhaps as high as 25%.

It looks like the car industry here expects potential redundancies of 20000 as a result of the tariffs. Seems like small change compared to Reeves 80,000 redundancies in the foot shooting NI policy. But not great.

@GrizzlyHairBear you're in the wrong space and the reason why people pick up on the diatribe about his fathers tool maker statement is that he moans on about it all the fucking time yes mate we know your dads a tool maker we KNOW

I'm in the wrong space am I? Really?

You will find almost every thread has a bias. You dont want to discuss, you just want to throw buns and its really fucking tedious.
You clearly don't like this thread so just click unwatch. Problem solved.

Can I suggest you pop over to the feminism sex and gender board and tell them that men really can be women. Then pop over to the weight loss injection threads and tell them to stop eating donuts. Or go on the labour supporters chat thread and tell them that Liz Truss wasn't that bad. You'll be given short shrift, as you will be on here each time you throw a fucking bun at a regular poster in need of support.

Germany's car industry will be hit hard. I don't know how this will work in Ireland/Northern Ireland on two different tariffs.

@TheNuthatch it will be a big mess you can cut and paste that statement and insert it at every decision they make 🤣🚀good luck today @twistyizzy we are all hoping common sense prevails. I understand the KCs for the government were told to stick to the facts yesterday I would imagine they’re finding it hard to stick to the facts as the facts are it’s spiteful short sighted has a negative effect on vat even a cost for the tax payer and the KCs defending it we’re all educated at the best establishments money can buy

EasternStandard · 03/04/2025 08:24

I’m cutting out Starmer droning on today. I’ve reached the place where his voice and Reeves is just too woeful to listen to.

EasternStandard · 03/04/2025 08:28

I’m getting so many price increase emails rn. Depressing.

Then saw headline households will be £400 worse off this year. Great, not

TheNuthatch · 03/04/2025 10:29

Same here Eastern. No point listening to the lies and bluster.

I'm still giggling to myself whenever I think of Donald and his game show board 😂.
Groceries is a beautiful term, different things that you put in a bag 🤣🤣🤣. Comedy gold.

I can't believe the level of bias and rage on these threads and I am free to comment as I wish, within talk guidelines of course. MN moderates, not you. If you find my contributions "fucking tedious", that's your issue.

Exactly. Just lies and bluster sums it up.

Not long ago he was warhawking ‘boots and planes’ nonsense, which people actually believed.

It’s too much shite. And politically craven optics. I’m at the limit.

The board haha still making me laugh, even more so the U.K. was just seeable and poor people below the line 😂

No my intention is not to derail at all. I am free to raise valid points and I will continue to do so. My points are just as valid as yours and to try to close my views down is bullying behaviour.
