To think that Suella Braverman is a wee idiot?

@mnhq I hope that this can be considered social commentary rather than a personal attack.

I voted YANBU, but actually possibly I should have voted YABU because she's not a wee idiot, she's a big twp.

She's wanted to pull that ladder up behind her ever since she reached the echelons of big politics. She is at least consistent. Consistently terrible.

She's a vicious and deluded bitch madam.

what Goes on in her head honestly

Do we think reform are in with a chance?

I do, I think that they’re a credible threat, LOTS of people support them

there’s also an undercurrent of racist tension in the air lately 🥺

I haven’t read the link but surely it goes without saying.

Bookies are less certain than they were

She's a swivel eyed nutter.

it Does honestly, but I’d just seen the headline and burst out laughing! What a fool

I’d be embarrassed to be so weak and boot licking.

She’s my MP.

I can confirm She’s just as bad (actually - worse!) IRL.

Goodness knows how she thinks she’d be in the position she is now, without the Equality Act she wants to repeal. A woman of colour, no less 🤦🏼‍♀️

So we've got our election (in Wales) coming up and they are targeting us so hard. I really hope the people of Wales are not so dumb as to let them get their clutches into us (the Caerphilly by-election was thankfully a brilliant result for Plaid). But as you say, you never know with how they target people, the lies they tell, the populist politic fairy tales they spin. They are a credible thread - not made easier by other geopolitics too - hello America.

If I hear anyone in my neck of the woods say that maybe they 'know what they are talking about' or 'are not that bad' I have a spiel that I roll out. It's funny because I do support Plaid - it's much more of a cultural than a nationalist movement these days and weirdly they know what Wales needs and can achieve because they are all about Wales! - but when people say to me: "Oh bloody Welsh nationalists..." Erm... you want to vote for failed English nationalists?! Because look at their history - they couldn't give a fanny fart about Wales! Never have done and never will!

Labour are dead here for the next 8-10 years except for in some strongholds. But if Reform end up with the Senedd majority I will really have to think hard about where I want to live and if I want to stay here, what that looks like.

What’s the point of Reform? A recycled UKIP grifter promoting failed former Tory MPs - I mean, woooo.

And used to be called the Brexit Party - lest we forget.

Who is going to vote Reform if they can vote Restore?

Exactly.

They'll vote Rupert Lowe

GradeA nutjob.

I am in Wales too, and I know how you feel. But the chances of Reform getting its claws into the Senedd are low if polling is anything to go by. Thank God for the new PR system!

Who sounds a lot like Nick Griffin when the BNP were trying to look respectable and failed.

We hope, we hope! But polling was a bit grim last year and improved after Caerphilly. Yes totally agree re. PR!

The fact that Nigel has managed to paint himself as a “man of the people” and “non-elite” whilst being from immense privilege is a testament to education levels in the UK.

Braverperson fulfils her role as shield well (like Zia Yusuf). Once Reform gets in she may find Reform voters respond to her the same way MAGA voters respond to Vivek Ramaswarmy….

They had to include a few poc so they could say oh but we aren't a Racist party.
Immigration is a distraction Reform would feather their own nest and that of multi millionaires.
The lamp post scalers with the cheap nylon flags are cannon fodder.
The extreme far right have always used the disenfranchised.
National Front 60s/70s. Skinheads.
BNP/C18 80s Football Firms.
Onwards a plethora of small organisations.

The names change but the message is always the same.

Quite - all those 'man of the people' pints in pub stuff.

Your dad was an obscenely wealthy stockbroker, has multiple properties through his side business Thorn in the Side (very on the nose), and lots of loose cash jobs through media junk throughout the year. Definitely not someone who would drop £20 and bend down to pick it up.

You have nailed so much in one post - kudos. And so true.
