TLDR thread but if it hasn't already come up I was listening to LBC today and the reporter said there is legislation going through the Lords to limit donations to £100k. If successful it's backdated to April this year I think he said.

I don’t think it means they have to give the £72m back.

So why were you asking where my millions came from when I hadn't mentioned having any?

You linked the ability to make millions with intellect.

Are you a Labour supporter? Or who is it that’s much better for you

No, I'm not. But I don’t see what my party preference has got to do with it. That's just deflecting.

Why do you keep demanding to know the political allegiance of other posters?

No I really didn't.

Why not? Just wondering which party is so much better. Good it’s not Labour given Mandelson affair and Starmer being ousted due to his own fuck up. A bit more relevant than Harman with her own name as a password.

Polanski, Davey, who else could it be

Always amuses me when they hound you for your political allegiance, before becoming awfully circumspect when the question is returned.

Wonder why.

Ikr what’s up with that. All a bit coy, maybe it was Starmer.

Greyrock79 · 12/09/2026 18:30

Oh Pointy, did your crystal ball predict Starmer’s demise?

Oh Rocky, Starmer's demise was just politics as usual these days. Please tell me why a party with a 150+ majority is going to be stupid enough not to see out their term, especially since their poll ratings are currently on the up? I mean, there's wishful thinking, but you are on a whole new level.

And yes, I did see Starmer's demise coming. For months. Anyone with half a brain did.

How many months into his premiership, did you predict his demise? And why?

It’s a valid Q.

No need to be so patronising.

She's not being patronising. If you honestly think this government is the most disastrous in your memory, then clearly your memory is very short. Perhaps you are very young.

I look forward to similar criticism of Labour from the posters you feel you’ve identified. Given they don’t care for Labour either.

No way, I agree posters on here were battling to the last minute on Starmer staying.

I'm a Labour voter, always have been. I'm not ashamed of it, would vote for them again tomorrow. No government is perfect but I genuinely believe they've been better than the last lot.

Having said that, I am also anyone but reform (or restore) so if it came to it I would hold my nose and vote least worst, tory 🤮

MelissaLovedMantari · 12/09/2026 18:48

It is a great shame that the thread is being derailed. One can't help suspecting it is deliberate. Reform does not like scrutiny.

Tory. Good for you Buzz, or previous name.

Good for you.
