The Economist got the ball rolling last week -

“Reform’s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022.”

'Truss on Crack'

😂

The key would be that Reform could implement on the basis that the electorate voted for this kind of 'fiscal calamity'. Truss hadn't faced a GE plus the Conservatives know when push comes to shove, they will shove. The grey men around Reform will be the ones holding out Reflux approved flags.

Doesn’t sound odd to me.

But I think that’s because I experienced the same.

Grew up in city. Diversity pretty standard and none really played a credence to it.

Moved to suburbs - village - and people there did have an issue when there was very little diversity.

Mow in the suburban town the next stop along and my daughter of migrant parents MP is leading the charge against immigrants settling in our town. Again it was extremely white a decade ago.

Mh road is now wonderfully diverse with black African, Caribbean, Indian and Asian residents as well as various European backgrounds. It’s wonderful to exchange cultures and food and experiences and yet have a shared love of our area and share the same schools and shops etc .

Well done Labour.
Things are going in the right direction and it looks as if the rose tinted glasses re Tice and Farage are finally coming off and their half arsed policies are being scrutinised in the media.
In my opinion.

I hope so, a Reform govt would be an utter disaster for our country and could lead to the death of the Tory party, not something i would want, despite being on the left of the argument... we need a strong, more traditional Conservative party, not some AfD copy.

Tories focusing on Labour are totally missing where the danger is for the Cons.

Crafty tug Grimes has been elected deputy leader of our council.

Lowe next?

Have to find some first, won’t hold my breath that he will

It’s when he sinks to a new Lowe…

ahem

🤣
Is Lowe joining?

A potential far right split.👍 Good stuff.

You couldn’t make it up.

The bigger question is why they get fooled at all. The number of people that Farage has thrown aside if they look like they will eclipse him.

It’s his party, and you’ll cry if he wants to you to

And a sibling, apparently.

😂

Well they have get home in time for tea you know
