  1. There’s some details behind these data. Firstly, favorability is a fickle thing, Farage enjoys 28% favorability on the basis of talking a lot, he’s not in a position to deliver anything. Likewise, Badenoch has no means to do anything other than criticize, but she has a choice to make, attack Labour or attack Reform. Right now she’s vacillating between the two. Starmer and Reaves on the other-hand are in power and are enacting the policies to deliver on manifesto promises. They are wisely enacting the unpopular fiscal changes and the policies that will deliver improvements for voters early. Spending on health care, education, public services will start to deliver the improvements the voting public demand. Starmer and Reaves are the only people in that list that can change public perception by delivering on promises. Badenoch and Farage attacking each other (while she’s still head of the Tory Party) will only help the shift in public perception towards the reality of who’s delivering and who’s bickering.
  2. Pump up the racism and xenophobia genie to gain support and win an election and then face the difficult problem of putting the genie back in the box. "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian... will not produce the best engineers," Ramaswamy is on this point entirely correct. Somebody tell Cernovich the bit immigrants played in the whole space program. Getting it off the ground even.
  3. He isn’t stopping anything. Starmer is in office and is delivering on Labour’s manifesto promises, hardly any definition of failure.
  4. They aren’t really members, they are subscribers. They get to pay, but have no say in the selection of candidates, the leader or ‘party’ policies. But it’s wound Badenoch up and looks like it will continue to split the rightwing vote.
  5. This was a predicted outcome of BREXIT, EU national immigrants being replaced by immigrants from Asia and Africa. You’ll find it filed under ‘Project Fear’.
  6. I’m not a fan of solar panels on farmland, but what can be done to stop a landowner doing what they wish with the land they own when it extends, as we see here, to the eviction of a third generation tenant farming family. It’s a way bigger problem than simply solar panels on farmland land.
  7. I didn’t suggest they should go to your country. They have a home in Palestine, I thought I had been clear on my of that matter.
  8. Murray is smart enough to know precisely what he is doing as he plays to gallery and lends his name in support of islamaophobia and any other phobia that gets the cheep seats jeering.
  9. Because, not surprising that you focus on the UK’s Labour Party and their winter fuel policy in a thread discussing (big hint here): “Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in” Stuck record comes to mind.
  10. Said without an iota of introspection.
  11. Circumvent the propaganda from both sides. Give the world’s news reporters free access to report independently and directly from the camp. Surely they’re not going to be in the way of any military action or betraying the location of troops while reporting from a refugee camp.
  12. I would agree that both sides are operating a propaganda campaign but that isn’t a reason to disbelieve everything except what your preferred side has to say. A new born child in a tent encampment dying of hyperthermia is not at all unbelievable and masks other obscenity of a civilian population being displaced into a camp by military attacks on their homes. Anyway, it’s Christmas, don’t let me interrupt the flow of callous spleen venting.
  13. This baby or this baby’s parents took and are holding hostages?
  14. They are Palestinians, quit your gaslighting. I’m also reading certain that if they turned up en masse in your home country seeking sanctuary you’d be demanding they be sent back to where they came from.
  15. I guess denying the report helps you avoid dealing with the obscenity of a baby freezing to death.
  16. Can you please provide a link to back up your claim that “It's the Palestinian leadership that are denying them access to shelter.”
  17. Palestinians have a home, in Palestine.
  18. I’ll be polite. Desist from assigning views/arguments to me that I myself have never expressed. Now jog on.
  19. If I had meant to say ‘only young people will be effected’ that’s what I would have said. I didn’t. When you imagine views I have not myself expressed, attribute those views to me and then argue with those same views you are arguing with yourself. Enjoy.
  20. English might not be your native tongue language. Which is fine, but let me help you out. A statement that only addresses young people does not imply that the conditions discussed only apply to young people, it absolutely does not state ‘only young people will be effected’. So who is as it that said ‘only young people will be effected’? It wasn’t me.
  21. Council slums? “The government recognised that the current Affordable Homes Programme is almost fully committed but has asked Homes England and the GLA to prioritise social rent when allocating the remainder of the Affordable Homes Programme funding. The Secretary of State recognised that councils and housing associations need support to build capacity and increase supply. She stated that the government would announce plans to ensure stability around social rents at the next fiscal event, as well as committing to setting out details of future government investment in social and affordable housing as part of the next spending review.” https://www.housing.org.uk/news-and-blogs/news/Government-announces-plan-for-a-long-term-housing-strategy/
  22. I don’t know what anyone else will choose to do, neither do you. I do however know increasing supply reduces inflationary pressures and I do know the Labour Government prioritizing building affordable homes and addressing the problem of tenant insecurity in the buy to let sector.
