So many of these twats are poisoning their future career options down to grifter pundit & nothing else. And there are only so many grifter pundit jobs to be had - fewer once your party is no longer in power. This will tempt increasing numbers of them to be increasingly inflammatory and libelous to try to maintain their dwindling pull until someone sues them into oblivion & they get to live the remainder of their lives unemployable, broke, hated & ridiculed. That's my naive, optimistic happy thought for the day, anyway. That's a fucking long way of saying "Tory"

It's curious how many of these guys who talk in this way have never actually been in any kind of physical altercations or battle or war and are DESPERATE to tell the world how tough they are. They would most likely piss their fucking pants within 30 seconds of being in an actual threatening situation.

I hope someone has a camera on him when he's told by GB News that they're firing him when he loses his seat, having an easily used Tory MP is what they want, not some ex-Tory MP fuckwit.

Moron (more on? No - I was right the first time) Liz Truss and her CPAC appearance: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68376802I'd say she's gone off the rails, but I'm not altogether convinced she was on them in the first place. To call her batshit would be an insult to actual guano.

Oh man the class of 2019 is going to have such an absolutely rude awakening when those seat losses come in and they're going to have to get real jobs again.

I can't tell whether Truss is even dumber than I'd thought - which would be a stretch - or whether she's somehow cleverer, insofar as she's peddling that, "My premiership was outlasted by fresh produce!" line in front of the only audience on the planet that would actually buy it.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68375450God the Rochdale by election is a mess. I can understand why a lot of the people there are pissed off, but as usual that anger is getting channelled the wrong way by a whole bunch of twats.

Galloway should be banned just for using the phrase "Make Rochdale Great Again"

The Tories themselves should be pushing to have the lot of them expelled from the party, as well as losing the whip. Braverman’s comments in the Torygraph were also disgraceful.
I’m so fucking tired of populism. The whole thing relies on appealing to people who don’t understand or care about politics. It completely removes real issues from the discourse and just turns every policy into gaslighting bullshit.
I’d love to see our education system make politics and economics as fundamental as maths and English. I really believe if every single person had even the most basic understanding of politics it would be transformational.

This used to be the kind of thing that had consequences. Now it’s almost mandatory for a cabinet post.

You see it in interviews. Treasury Ministers are better prepped on small boats and ‘what is a woman?’ than the actual economy. Fixating on these small issues at the expense of actual real problems just to stay in power is dragging this country down the toilet.

kal completely agree re the education system. Social media doesn't help either, as they are fed a pack of lies. My 13 year old is way more engaged in politics than I was at that age, possibly because of my job but also it's more accessible. But with that comes risk that bullshit will spread. So we need to counter that in school with facts.

Didn't know Galloway is a massive putin bootlicker as well. He smugly mocked the possibility of Russia invading Ukraine as western propaganda and when it did happen he used kremlin talking points/propaganda. Always throught he was cunt, but he is not much different from some GB news/cockhead carslon type

I really believe if every single person had even the most basic understanding of politics it would be transformational. Critical thinking just doesn't happen at all. If it does, you've got to make it happen yourself. I've got 18/19 year olds who can't even work out basic problems like "if I want to go on a trip, what do I need to think about?" Some of them, and this is verbatim, were given this problem: You live in a house with 2 other people. If everyone pays £100, it covers the bills. You pay £200 and the others pay £50, is that fair? The amount that didn't even question it was astounding.

He loves a strongman, well a non-American one.

Truss spewing facts about how the Bank of England is controlled by the Extreme Left and complaining that a PM can be fired but the boss of the Bank of England can't.
1) I refuse to believe that the boss of the BoE can't be fired?! 2) Does she want a situation where a PM can't be fired under any circumstance?!
Cosying up to Bannon is insane.

I think he loves dicators that wil lline his pockets more, especially if they hate the west

"The enemy of the enemy is my friend"
Gets really problematic when you have traditionally been a socialist raised on a dogmatic diet of hating 'western imperialism'.
You can end up in a weird space where you are a left leaning socialist but have cornered yourself geopolitically to supporting China, Russia, North Korea, Hungary and Iran. Borderline or full on fascist dictatorships with pretty awful records for domestic human rights.
Cant quite get my head around it.

Genuinely didn't expect that to happen given all the other shit that everyone else in that party says.
Maybe sunak just likes having by-elections.
