Pull up a chair for some friendly chit chat about politics and beyond

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated.

The right really do hate Phillipson, including on MN. I see they are busy spouting the lie that she isn't really working class and that her father is Fraser Kemp, former MP for BP's constituency.

The origin for this seems to be some nasty racist little account on X. What a surprise.

I saw that. Apparently her father was actually a teacher who abandoned her them when she was a baby and he’s been dead for years. I bet Kemp’s really pissed off at being maligned like this.

It is interesting how a conspiracy theory is starting up about BP's father. Birth certs and the Internet being scrubbed etc. A bit tin-foil hatty if you ask me.

I missed PMQs but is sounds like Badenoch did well with her questions about Mandelson and Epstein.

Who mentioned Eva Peron recently ?

There has been an uptick of threads about immigration/flags etc. over the past couple of days on MN. Definitely trying to create some support for Sept 13, I think.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

If you are going to discuss my posts on this thread then at least have the balls to tag me in.
Someone highlighted to me that my comments are being slagged off on this thread.
I don't interfere with you on here so kindly have the same respect.

Most people care more about the economy and migration. Yet the leader of the opposition chose to focus on that.

Much as I think a career diplomat should have been appointed as ambassador.

That is 4 dead in the last 24 hours, including 1 woman and 2 children, and 3 people missing.

But remember, it is only men of fighting age who detest the UK who are coming here by small boat according to the Farage and his Farites.

Twisty, I haven't attributed any of what I said about the BP rumours to you or your thread.

I could direct you to posts from you and the others on your thread, where you criticise and refer to what we say here on the Starmer threads. None of you "have the balls" to tag us. But that would be provocative and probably break Talk guidelines.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

Of course you haven't directly attributed it but you are directly paraphrasing my posts yet no balls to tag me in.
I did once, I was rightly pulled up for it.

Just don't do it and I will call it out on the other thread if I see it. I'm sure that is all you have to say on the matter.

PandoraSocks · 10/09/2025 16:46

Just leave it, everyone. We don't want a bunfight

Piggywaspushed · 10/09/2025 16:46

Guys, let's just leave it. It'd be nice if the lies/ misinformation were retracted on whatever threads they appeared on so they don't spread further as that's how they take hold.

It seems that way

No we aren't it was PMd to me as a heads up.

Except they aren't lies so nothing will be retracted. There is no way currently to prove/disprove

Of course jump to that conclusion.

I am off because this is predictably going to turn onto a pile on instead of just admitting it happened and moving on 🙄

Piggywaspushed · 10/09/2025 16:49

OK, well, whatever.

I have no interest in the spat tbh but plenty of people seem to think this is fabricated.

bombastix · 10/09/2025 16:50

Can’t we just say it’s a horseshit rumour? Because it is.

Also grateful if the primary school level stuff of she told me you said this about me or I got told in the playground level could be kept to PM, thanks.

This is a good initiative from the Lib Dems

The rumours about BP are being pushed from a nasty far right account on X. One of the citizen journalist types. There have been no references to them from any reputable sources.
