  1. Labour will publish their manifesto when Sunak stops hiding from the electorate and announce the General Election. The electorate will then get sight of Labour’s actual electoral promises. You’ll not then have to imagine what they are.
  2. I suspect Tories are wishing it had been. The polls are only going in one direction, and this weeks election indicates they are pretty accurately predicting the results.
  3. But the killing of aid workers, including 3 British nationals, in this war has become a political issue in the UK with demands for PM Sunak to halt the sale or arms to Israel: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68721384
  4. It was an election Nick and the hugely popular incumbent increased his share of the vote. What’s this ‘war going on in many fronts’?
  5. Probably not a good idea Nick given your expressed view that innocent civilians in Rafah have no reason to complain when the Israeli military visit ‘carnage’ upon them. There is no reverse gear on employing ‘Nazi ideology’ in discussions once the opportunity to accept and retract the grossly offensive nature of your post has passed.
  6. I made a false claim, the UK is not funding the current war in Gaza. The UK is however continuing to supply the Israeli military with weapons. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-faces-pressure-stop-selling-weapons-israel-after-aid-workers-killed-2024-04-03/
  7. “Conservative Anxiety Peaks Ahead of Crucial Local Elections” I have a feeling Conservative anxiety gained new peaks after the results of the local elections sank in, and still has the legs for more distress as the General Election approaches.
  8. I see democracy and the candidate with the highest number of votes being elected has suddenly lost its appeal to some.
  9. That claim deserves some explanation. The floor is yours, give it your best shot.
  10. Increased his vote by 3.8% into the bargain. And Blackpool by-election delivered a 26. % swing to Labour. That noise you hear from the Tory back benches is the sound of a ceremonial sword being sharpened, while Bravermann puts the blame squarely on Sunak, hoping perhaps nobody noticed she backed every failing policy he came up with. ”She added many Conservative MPs were privately "demoralised" and "at this rate we'll be lucky to have any Conservative MPs at the next election". Is that a bad thing I wonder? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68961195
  11. I’m sure Labour will address this once they’ve finished celebrating their ‘positive performance’ that came in the guise of stunning electoral victories across local elections, mayoral elections and the Westminster bi-election in Blackpool.
  12. She’s obviously failed to get the support she needed to oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Which tells USA lot about her lack of influence in the GOP. Any noise she’s making, and she does make a lot of noise, is not hiding her weakness.
  13. “Seems a bit accusatory” I’m pleased you recognize the failing of your completely ill informed and baseless assumptions. ‘Teaching kids’ Where on earth do you get this nonsense Jonny?
  14. You are conflating the right to enter with the right to choose to enter and the right to choose to leave. Choice is one of those things that are inseparable from freedom. A free press has the right to enter and the right to leave.
  15. Brian. Facts, like allegations of dishonesty, need evidence. I have provided evidence that I did not edit my post after you replied.
  16. AND It’s an exchange program. Rwanda get to send their asylum dealers to the UK
  17. It’s a bit of a non argument when I have posted a screenshot proving coincident timing. Feel free to have a go at responding to my post, it’s still there.
  18. So Brian. Permitting the world’s news agencies to send journalists into Gaza to report on what they witness there independently of Israel or Hamas. A good idea?
  19. I did not edit any post after you had responded. I edited while you were responding. I have reposted my comment above for you to have another go at it. Evidence of coincident timing below.
  20. Refer the OP. Israel purports to be a democracy that upholds the principles of democracy, of which freedom of the press is one principle. I hate to see Israel being accused of suppressing freedom of the press. I think Israel could completely destroy such allegations by permitting the world’s news outlets to send journalists into Gaza and r er port on what they witness, independent of Israel or Hamas. I’m at a loss why this offends you so.
