Well , I'm from Red Clydeside. Say no more, really.

These threads are about Starmer. I voted Starmer first, then Rebecca Long Bailey second.

When it came to deputy leadership Angela Raynor.

Agreed. Please stay @PandoraSocks. Even if you don’t stray from this thread.

Well, I've done 25 years in the NHS and I'm forrin. So I'm the pinkest slimeballest commie here.

I’m a civil servant (education)
Union member
LGPS
disabled ds
lived and worked in the EU and DS born there (but he’s British nationality)
single parent. (Since he was 1)

I'm a centric floating voter . Would have said slightly right of centre at one time but moving more left now because the right have gone so far out of reach I don’t recognise RW politics for what it once was. I believe we need socialism but also capitalism and they go hand in hand.

Not sure what that makes me 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️

UK needs to address its energy costs structure, we are super hi compared to other similar countries.

Both in business and consumer costs, address that and the issue, to some extent goes away.

Money for a house but not for taxes

David Cameron made Michelle Mone a peer.

Just one of the appalling things he did. That man has a lot to answer for.

Farright still clean as a whistle, obviously...

Teacher (retired, early, on teacher pension part of which was final salary), union member (I’ve been on strike and to rallies but no brazier standing here either), single parent, granddaughter of miners. Pinko commie slime ball reporting for duty.

Wish Musk would find a new hobby

Drilling on Mars

Yeah maybe increase the site visits on mars - just anything really to shift his focus

This is interesting reading for anyone convinced that Farage will be the next PM.

Interesting the lack of discussion on this in the same place that is obsessed with immigration and asylum seekers. I guess it rather undermines the narratives being spun.

And another one

Latest suspension means Reform UK has now lost 9 of its 57 Kent county councillors elected in May

These are the people the police should be going after. There are so many repercussions from this kind of criminal behaviour.

Piss up in a brewery comes to mind.
@PandoraSocks hope you are ok.
yy drilling extended visits to mars just so he isn’t inhabiting earth would be good.

Reform's flagship

Kent County Council leaders assessment of the flagship council - think we'd probably agree

'More clowns than Billy Smart's circus' - Reform UK under fire as Kent council holds 1st full meeting since video leak

Flagship's name is Titanic.

These are the people the arsewipes on here who pretend to be oh-so-worried about immigration should be worried about. These are the people who are actively destroying British values by corrupting our countries invitation to the oppressed.

There are certain posters on Mumsnet that I have no respect whatsoever for. I don't respond to them if they address me and I'm quite prepared to debate with other people on the threads in question. In the absence of any kind of block or ignore function I just do the job myself.
