There's a lot of competition, but this is probably the worst tweet or skeet I have ever seen from mainstream British political media.

That's why I have "there's too many black people in adverts" as one of the most hands-down racist klaxons there is, short of violence or Nazi iconography. There's no pretence of a policy issue there, no tapdance of "legitimate concerns". It's just pathetic melanin whinging.

Whilst the right-wing remains far weaker in Scotland than in England you would never guess from the way some SNP posters talk about Scottish Politics that the Scottish right is on course for its best result since devolution by an absolute mile.

"We are bad at our jobs" is a very interesting strategy.

I'll bite. What is the benefit we gain from politicians being able to 'thoughtfully' say in private 'blacks, British Bangladeshis, British Pakistanis, British Indians, mulattos....all the same, and clearly from the look of them not-integrated?'

In addition, I think also: politics is about argument! When I say 'the free movement of services, goods, capital and people is good for growth', I am not saying it because it is popular, but because it is true. It is in fact racist to say that mixed-race people should be deported!

Labour are confusing 'decisions which Labour members do not enjoy or dislike' with 'decisions anyone outside of the Labour party likes or welcomes', I think. www.ft.com/content/f776...

If the UK implements a 10 year requirement to get Indefinite Leave to Remain that means that if you work for 9 years and then lose your job you're ineligible for unemployment benefits and risk having to uproot your entire existence. It's cruel and inhumane.

This is a "conversation" that is about as relevant or as useful to Labour as a Liberace impersonator communing with Liberace's ghost on a Ouija Board might yield valuable insights on how Mozart ought to be conducted.

Irrecoverable- anybody claiming it's worth keeping him on is delusional.

It would be nice if pro-Labour accounts who were like "yeehaw we're finally got Reform where we want them" after Farage's Tylenol gaffe would stop to note that not only did Starmer not hit him on this weak spot but he chose to instead echo Farage's message to a newspaper THAT NO LABOUR VOTER READS

"I've heard you concerns and I've elected to exacerbate them" Just an absolutely crap politician.

The whole of history:

Jenrick fully intends to be the leader of merged Tory-Reform party if Farage is defeated next time round imo, because this makes no sense if your goal is to save the Conservative Party in its present form.

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

Farage went from *winning* a national election with 31% of the vote to getting only 2% in the General Election later that year. Far too much fatalism that we have to put up with his filth dominating politics for the next four years. Take him down hard, take him down now.

Death, taxes, and British Prime Ministers pursuing imaginary voters.

In less jest - yes, it's good if universities can help students develop skills for the labour market. However, the pointless venom of the current government about one of the few world class sectors in the British economy is tiring, enervating and just plain sad. Get a grip lads.

Like so much that Labour are doing, I really don't understand who this kind of messaging is for.

It’s come to this: Keir Starmer is now just the warm-up act for Nigel Farage | Aditya Chakrabortty

Just a cheeky hint of Fascism.

Endlessly frustrating that Starmer torpedoed himself in desperate fear of a man with a -31 favourability rating.

I just think there are specific reasons why, however hard she tries, Kemi Badenoch is never going to get the votes of racists.

Shockingly, when you govern for absolutely nobody, nobody ends up liking you.

And the Labour government - *Kinnock voice* the LABOUR government - thinks that's all just a wonderful display of free speech, while they also go about arresting pensioners for wearing Palestine Action t-shirts. Because the parasite-king Morgan McSweeney decided he wants racist votes.

Worth taking a moment to mark how awful the FDP was for both Germany and Europe.

Europe cannot, and must tolerate having its borders being redrawn by an American government willing to bear none of the costs of peace. This would amount to nothing more than imperial edict.

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

Not very encouraging that Rutte seems to be living on a different planet.

MAGA fellow travellers find the UKs consensus on this difficult to understand, but in some ways it's quite simple The British national myth is rooted in "the darkest hour" of a small island facing off against a fascist invader steamrolling across Europe. Britain looks at Ukraine, and it sees itself

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

So far, however, as European leaders rush to express their support for Ukraine and Zelenskyy, there's an ominous silence from Downing Street. Maybe they hope something can be patched up with Trump, but any deal with him as a worthless as a deal with Putin.

Let's be clear: the idea that breakfast clubs would adequately mitigate the impact of the two-child limit is absolute bollocks. The average household hit by the two-child limit loses out on roughly £3,800 a year. They're not currently spending that on coco pops.
