I hope by Trans rights you don’t mean the rights of biological males to use women’s changing rooms, toilets, and other female designated spaces; or the right to take part in women’s sports events. And I assume by Migrant rights you mean their rights in whichever country that they have migrated to. If my assumption is correct, then what rights do you think they have in that country, having left their own country under their own volition to migrate ….. thanks

Where is the evidence that you are claiming to have please; you cannot just post that you have evidence of the lower average IQ of MAGA supporters, without showing that evidence, and providing a link to substantiate it. If you do not provide the evidence you claim to have, people might think you’re just making it up.

For your edification, IQ is measured as a sequence of numbers; your answer would indicate that yours may still be stuck in your formative years.

Making Lammy Foreign Secretary was one of the most disastrous decisions in British political history. He is an anti-British, anti-American, anti-white, antisemitic racist. He was heavily critical of the then Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, for mentioning the Pakistani ethnicity of 16 men in Huddersfield after they were convicted for the rape and sexual abuse of fifteen young white girls during a seven-year reign of terror. Lammy is an apologist for Islam, which he does, and has always done, in order to buy the muslim vote; he thinks it more righteous to protect the ethnicity of a Pakistani grooming gang, than to be concerned for the welfare of the white children victims that they raped and abused over a 7 year period. He is also an expenses cheat who claimed for a second home allowance while living 7 miles from Parliament, at the cost of the taxpayer; he is a moral coward and he distills the very essence of champagne socialism; live the capitalist lifestyle to the full, and then insist that everyone else embraces socialism. ……………… the fact that he is an ugly bloated slug has nothing to do with my criticism of him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time will tell how much time Farage spends in Clacton. I think it was clear to everyone that his standing there was to make sure he became an MP. However, I think it is important to have him in Parliament, he is a good orator, he doesn’t mind asking the awkward questions, and he represents a lot of people in the UK. Reform got 4.1 million votes in the election,14.3% of the votes cast. Labour only got 9.7 million,33.7%. more people voted for reform than voted for the Lib Dems, who only got 3.5 million. Because of the FPTP system, the Lib Dems got 72 seats, but Reform only 5, and Labour 411. Labour got only 23,622 votes for each seat they gained Lib Dems got 48,877 votes for each seat Reform got a staggering 823,522 for each seat. So, in a democracy, I think it is good to have Farage holding the leftie luvvies to account in Parliament.

The kind of response that succinctly sums up your knowledge and understanding of the complexities and history of the UK’s relationship with the EU …. well done for that

Oh come on, this is just left wing student politic cliches. You would do well to research some history of the UK within the EU; the die was cast to our second class membership back in 1970 when the Fisheries Minister, Geoffrey Rippon, told Prime Minister, Ted Heath, “if we want to join the EEC (as it was then known) on the terms stated by General de Gaulle, we will have to sacrifice Britain’s fishermen” This is exactly what the treacherous Heath did, and with that one submissive act, set the tone for how the UK has been treated by the EU ever since; it also resulted in our fishing industry, that was the largest in all of Europe, being completely decimated, leaving huge unemployment and poverty in towns like Hull and Grimsby, the latter once being the largest fishing port in the world. Heath was also made aware of the “Werner” report in 1970, which set out the EEC’s plans for monetary union and a federal state; he deliberately kept this information from the British public, who subsequently voted to join a “common market” unaware of the political and monetary aspirations of the EEC. The EU has never treated the UK equally despite us always having been a nett contributor; even at the end, they refused to grant a few lame concessions to Cameron, concessions that would have prevented the referendum. I look on cheerfully as the whole edifice is starting to implode ….. oh Mutti, look what you’ve done. apologies, it’s slightly off topic, but you brought the EU into the conversation.

Ah, so the UK are free to make whatever independent trade deal they can negotiate with the USA; rather than have to accept whatever trade deal the EU negotiates with them, which, by default, will be for the benefit of Germany and France, to the detriment of the rest of the member states ….. thanks.

Weak negotiating power in what respect; please explain

Well, it certainly doesn’t seem to matter to you, because you don’t seem to have any idea what it means or how it can be defined. You called a vote by 20% of the eligible electorate the will of the people. Risible; and to extend that, the UK has a population of over 68 million, not all, for various reasons eligible to vote. So if you take Labours votes at the election (9,708,816) the 20% is nearer 14% …. will of the people ?…. hilarious and embarrassing in equal measure.

Utter nonsense as you well know; you have made a complete fool of yourself by calling a 20% vote of the eligible electorate “the will of the people” … how utterly embarrassing for you.

As a UK resident, I fully understand the concept of first past the post, even though it is a system that I have never agreed with; however, you are obfuscating, because you know that you have erroneous called a vote by 20% of the electorate “the will of the people”

The Starmer led Labour government received 20% of the votes of the eligible electorate of the UK; you have a bizarre interpretation of “the will of the people”

Much more importantly, I am not sure that Mr Trump’s likely administration will have much in common with the present UK government; as for any remaining confidence in intelligence sharing, that was completely destroyed by David Lammy renewing funding for the Hamas affiliated ‘agency’ UNRWA; funding that had been suspended by the previous UK government, and remains suspended by the USA.

This succinctly summarises the left and their intransigent belief that they know better than everyone else, and that they can never be wrong; it is arrogance of an astonishing magnitude. This arrogance is compounded by them supporting a party labeled ‘The Democrats’ when democracy itself is anathema to them if the results democracy produces are unsuitable to them.

Well, if you’re a left wing liberal bedwetter, an antisemite, or a supporter of Hamas and other Iranian proxy terrorists, I guess it’s not all bad.

So you voted for Ed Davey, who as Postal Minister in 2010 refused to meet Post Office Campaigner Alan Bates, and oversaw one of the greatest injustices in British history; a man that cannot even define what a woman is …. Wow

Remember that Labour were elected because of the UK’s bizarre FPTP electoral system; however, only approximately 20% of those on the electoral register actually voted for them. They do not have a mandate for the radical socialist changes they are implementing, and might need to call a general election well before their term of government is up.

In a very short time, Starmer has established a huge catalogue of errors; none more erroneous than appointing David Lammy as Foreign Secretary. Lammy is vehemently anti-American, anti-British, and antisemitic; he is the worst kind of racist, because he thinks that only white people can be racist. One of his first moves was to approve funding again for the Hamas affiliated ‘Agency’ UNRWA; then he cancelled export licences to Israel, all to appease the muslim block vote in the UK; Israel, who after America, are the UK’s most important source of antiterrorism intelligence. He has berated, insulted, and derided the President of the USA, he is an absolute disaster, and a disgusting, disingenuous human being. What in god’s name has happened to my country ?

He hasn't got any

Not a fan of democracy then ?

Well if Secretary-General Mark Rutte wants to work with Trump, he better very quickly get Germany in particular, and several other NATO members to start paying the requisite percentage of their respective GDP's on defence spending … otherwise NATO will be down the gurgler.

All the left wing luvvies at the BBC, and that whimpering little slug at the Guardian, Owen Jones, will be inconsolable; ha ha ha

It's raining in Baltimore

Apologies, I misread / misunderstood your satire; the doom goblin is indeed an antisemite. It is a shame that the scarf is not tied tighter, much, much, tighter. … apologies again for my faux pas
