Ha ha ha ha.

He is absolutely that stupid.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I recently called 'Dunning' Kruger a cunt.
But I was wrong.
He's a lying, stupid, fascist cunt.

Wealthy business people making donations to Labour - lost touch with working people.

Or "vested interests", unlike business supporters of the Tories who recognize that a strong economy is good for business, which is good for all us.

Suggestion @ Mods :

Could we perhaps shift the “Trot Watch” thread into here and merge this thread into it ? Cos Trot Watch is about more than just “Your Party”.

Right-wing protesters - concerned citizens.
Left-wing protesters - funded Marxists

[Tubby Isaacs]

Right wing protestors- families.
Left-wing protestors- students and layabouts

Worcestershire Latest. From DOGE to consulting on 10% council tax rises. The 10% will be just indicative but it seems they're working on the assumption of 5% definitely happening.

One thing I've noticed BTL in the Grauniad is how few of the supposedly erudite and intelligent posters actually know the difference between a PLC and a Limited Company when they bang on about Reform.

[Abernathy]

BUMSEX ALERT !

Who knew ?

[Youngian]

A pair of chancers is what they have in common. If Zack's patter eats into the Reform protest vote, he's good with me.

[Tubby Isaacs]

People make odd shifts in voting, but how do you go from Reform to Green?

Zack's auditioning very convincingly for a starring role in the next general election. "Vote Starmer or Davey, Get Zack"

[Tubby Isaacs]

No wonder he fucked off to the gallery.

Plague on both houses, shaking up the system, plain speaking leader who says it like it is, pavement politics. 15 percent of the electorate are far right immigrant haters but that doesn't explain Reform on 30 percent in the polls. Many of whom voted Labour last year.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Reform are on 26% with Yougov, Labour on 20%. Ignore Find Out Why, or whatever they're called (actually, that's an Inspiral Carpets song)

Lib Dem to UKIP was a plague on all your houses that I can understand. The Lib Dems were good at courting Kippers on eg "weak government won't reform the Common Fisheries Policy", and they picked up quite a few Kipperish voters in 2024 who wanted to chuck out Sunak.

But going from "bloody immigrants, green crap and woeness" to Zack, I don't think that's going to be significant.

Is that Matt Goodwin's outfit?
Speaking of which he's now making sinister comic book Nazi threats to young women to do their reproduction duties for the nation.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Nah, Goodwin is People Polling. I don't know if they're still bothering. Find Out Now have an "interesting" method that leaves out Don't Knows, or as good as, when lots of these will return to the party they supported before. It overstates parties with an enthusiastic base like Reform.

Matt's going to level with the electorate about the cost of this, is he? I assume we're still waiting for "left on economics" from him, to go with the "right on culture"?

[Boiler]

I thought Reform was all for cutting waste? Seems not.

That well known occasion for waving the Union Jack- Christmas. Is there anything they can't turn into one of their wank tests?

In other news

Nigel Farage has suggested he would replace the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, if he were to become prime minister.

“He’s had a good run, we might find someone new,” Farage said in an interview with Bloomberg’s The Mishal Husain show.

Bailey will likely be retired anyway. The only reason you'd do this was if you thought Bailey was massively incompetent, because the Government itself has all the tools it needs to set a different mandate. Perhaps we could hear more about that, which would be actual policy. Easier to stick to personalities, criticize whoever his successor is as a "politically correct Remainer" or whatever.

“He’s a nice enough bloke,” the Reform leader added.

However, Farage is unlikely to have a say in Bailey’s leadership, given the governor’s single eight-year term is due to end in March 2028 and the prime minister, Keir Starmer, is only required to hold a general election sometime before 15 August 2029.

Indeed. That and the inconvenient fact that the slimey little cunt isn’t going to be anywhere near fucking Downing Street. It’s high time this ridiculous assumption is torched for good. Before the wankers make it a self-fulfilling prophesy.
