Cannot handle Nigel Farage being PM

[Designless]

The goofy toad of toad hall-faced wanker

At least other countries have sexy right wing twats, why do we get him?

1.Please say his name as it is supposed to be said - farage like garage

1. Please don't vote for him he's one of Those Guys - smug, sweaty faced supercilious thickies

1. All his policies are gash

They think it makes them sound intelligent but.....

Indeed. It's actually embarrassing reading through the obsession with Farage and Reform. These people are so triggered because their little bubble, which doesn't accord with the real world, is being threatened. I had 3 personal rants aimed at me last night, yes really reflective of much superior intellect.

People are getting jumpy, the job figures and soaring youth unemployment won’t help that is directly due to Labour. So it’s go on the attack.

Have you posted on the wrong thread? This is the Telegraph copy and paste stuff you usually post on the LiW thread.

If they see Labour as a success, I dread to think what their idea of failure looks like. All destraction tactics focusing on Labour's main threat instead of recognising weaknesses within the Labour party and there are plenty of them.

It’s everywhere this morning, the Guardian discuss it too.

Yes, I have seen it. That is not the point I was making.

Can you articulate why you think one of the "Re" parties would make a successful government?

OK I missed the point then.

As they are the same people that lumbered us with the utter shit-show which is Brexit, I doubt they will ever take ownership of the damage that Brexit has done to the UK.

I watched some interviews with people who voted for Brexit waiting for Big Ben to strike midnight on 31 January 2020 when we officially left the EU. They told the interviewer that it was the happiest day of their lives and when asked exactly why their lives would be better, they all answered 'we've got our sovereignty back' but couldn't articulate any concrete benefits and what that meant at all.

^This 💯. He’ll find an excuse to stand down if there’s any chance of that happening. Obviously he won’t tell us that it’s because he doesn’t want to do any actual work. Or even actually come to Parliament.

I actually disagree with the OP about Farage’s appearance. He unfortunately looks very presentable and is obviously persuasive to many. Far too smarmy, though IMO. It shouldn’t be about appearance, though, only that a man like him should never be anywhere near power.

I'm not suggesting either one of them will make a successful government. I am suggesting or predicting the right will form the next government.

Does it matter? It doesn’t look good for them wherever it’s posted.

Probably painful for some to see.

It’s all good.

They can’t silence everyone - as much as they might try.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that this government has the economic literacy of the ‘sixth form Marxist appreciation group that meets Wednesday lunchtime in the common room’.

It all sounds great when you’re a student activist railing against capitalism and wearing your Che Guevara T shirt, but in real life it ruins lives and futures.

They can’t silence everyone - as much as they might try

That is a tad dramatic. No one here is silencing you or anyone else. MNHQ will delete anything that breaks the Talk guidelines. If you stick to those guidelines you'll be fine.😊

They are sticking to guidelines, pp can post anywhere with bad Labour stats.

Because foreign residents, temporary residents, tourists will still exist.

If Reform get in and it’s a horror show, I’d be very surprised if any of the Reform voters will take responsibility.

Brexit left us poorer and has been a total
shitshow. However, the people who voted for it are either strangely silent or fall back on meaningless stock arguments, like it failed because it wasn’t implemented correctly.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Reform-enthusiasts will respond - presumably wholesale blaming of the system / the “elite” / the mainstream parties, Liz Truss style.

Because past Govt's never did this.

Labour have very recently made it a requirement for getting many visa's, its quite remarkable it never was before... another Tory mess Labour are correcting.

Yes it was a manifesto pledge but not Govt official policy and it was the Tories who first gave younger people higher NMW increases.

Youth unemployment hit almost 16% in 2024, up from 13% in 2023.... Labour were in for 6 months of that year and didn't implement a single NMW increase.

Why weren't you concerned in 2023 and 2024?

How can you possibly know if and when I have been concerned?

It was a more a general "You"

I can recall no threads about youth unemployment levels on MN in 2023 or 24, it was all GE's, Riots, Starmers expenses.... no headlines in the Express, Mail, Telegraph etc

You are confusing exogenous events with self-inflicted damage caused by terrible policy.

Oh what external events happened in 2023? first 6 months of 2024? and if they existed, why did they all suddenly stop in July 24?

I guess global uncertainty over Trumps tariffs or the on going Ukrainian war or him threatening invasion, don't count for Labour do they?
