Why are they so quiet about it then? Try and imagine what would happen if a western country announced this kind of policy and the outrage and protests it would generate.

Sounds like the left still have a lot of learning to do about why Trump won and the left spectacularly lost. Maybe one day, probably after losing the next 2-3 elections, the left will learn that calling political opponents Hitler because they disagree with their political views is not a winning strategy.

Erm, didn't their 53 year old prophet famously marry and consummate that marriage with a 9 year old? Do they criticize him?

Lies upon lies. Labour claimed there was a £22bn black hole, the OBR could only find £9.5bn for inflation busting pay rises that Labour dished out without asking for any productivity improvements in return, and Labour increased taxes by £40bn. There are definitely some black holes around, but entirely of the economically illiterate morons in the governments making. Well yes, I probably would because that would mean borrowing an insane amount of money that would bankrupt the UK and put a massive burden on the next generation. So that would be the sort of thing a moron would do if they hated Britain. Since the last one will reduce growth they are stupid enough to raise taxes even more to make up for it so yes, it will be quite telling.

Why are some states still counting? The election was 5 days ago now. Do they have educational problems in these states where counting is somehow difficult for the people that live there and are in charge of counting?

Not when Trump is in charge as apparently he is a bit of an Anglophile. Just a shame that we have a Labour government who will not take advantage due to their stupidity and anti-Trump rhetoric. Also queue the inevitable screams from the "chlorinated chicken" brigade who have no doubt been to the US and eaten chicken there with no complaints. The EU will be panicking as they will have to face equal tariffs that they impose on the US. As it stands at the moment the EU imposes a 10% tariff on US cars into Europe, but there is a 2.5% tariff on European cars going to the US as just one example.

We are living in a social media age. Bit of a game changer in political discourse really when you can have an argument with someone you have never met, never will meet and who cannot punch you in the nose no matter how vitriolic and disgusting your opinions are, and it can be done anonymously. So people are emboldened.

I've claimed an inevitability that hasn't happened yet. Other than the minimum wage workers companies will not be giving pay rises to employees already earning more than minimum wage to offset the employer NIC increase. So the majority of customers will have less money to spend, not more as prices go up.

This man is a child abuse enabler and he had the gall to criticize the previous UK government for having the temerity to attempt to control the borders calling it 'against the judgement of God'. Will he resign from his position in the church and the house of lords? Of course he won't.

As you have never run a business (just like Reeves and the Labour cabinet) you will never understand. The end result will be the same as always, less growth, less tax receipts, more borrowing and the people on the lowest incomes will suffer the most.

There will be less working people (in the UK at least) following this budget. https://www.gbnews.com/politics/rachel-reeves-national-insurance-tax-raid-business-closing-labour So 4 factories will close in the UK and they will move production to India or China.

You'll notice that these figures were prior to the tax raid. The profits they make allow them to re-invest into the business and grow, creating more jobs and therefore more tax receipts for the country. When businesses are prevented from growing with excessive taxes (so the Labour government can take the fruits of their labour to give to Lammy to spaff away in African climate aid projects) then they do not create new jobs and the economy doesn't grow, which means less tax receipts. To counter the tax raid all they can do is reduce growth plans or raise prices. If Labour had reduced the tax burden on businesses and found ways to reduce the highest energy bills in the world then this would allow companies to invest more in the UK and the tax receipts would be higher but as mentioned earlier they are economically illiterate clowns.

I didn't mention GB news. How much time does Ed Davey spend in his constituency? I suspect you do not know or care, and nor should you because nobody cares. So why do you care about what Farage does or does not do, who is a leader of a party with just 5 MPs? Because your media overlords have told you to care? Have you ever kept such a close watch on any previous MP ever in history and how much time they spent in their constituencies?

DEI is racist. People who support it are racist. Nobody likes a racist. This is why the left lost.

On this you are correct, which is why they voted in Trump. Using racist policies to correct previous racist policies from decades ago is racist. Do better, be less racist by treating everyone equally and maybe then people will give the left a chance again.

You mean you want him to be focusing on what Brenda at number 14 needs instead of holding the clowns in government to account and acting in the best interests of those being ignored (or jailed) by Labour. I get it, it is the current tedious leftist talking point that every leftist has been issued with to repeat ad nauseam whenever they can. I'm sure Farage (like other party leaders) has admin staff to help Brenda with whatever issue she has.

Every implementation of DEI I have seen excludes straight white people, so is the complete opposite of inclusiveness. Not sure how leftists are completely blind to this and expect white people to bend the knee and accept being second class citizens in their own countries.

The UK has never been offered a vote on PR. I think you may be referring to AV which was what was on offer and was some kind of ranking system that would eventually get to a majority government. It was complex and I don't think it was sold particularly well hence only 42% turnout for the referendum so the majority were ambivalent to it. Farage is a leader of a party that represents over 4 million voters with just 5 seats in parliament. That's about 800,000 voters per MP, so a bit different to a Labour backbench MP who only needed about 20,000 votes per seat. So his role is a bit different to a typical constituency MP don't you think? Who else will represent and stand up for those 4 million+ voters who are being ignored by the Labour party?

They only have additional money in their pockets if prices stay the same though, which quite obviously they will not due to the economically illiterate clowns in Labour raising the cost of doing business in the UK.

Looks like Lammy has turned a corner and now sees past transgressions as "old news" and nothing to be concerned about today. Looking forward to no longer hearing from him about slavery and reparations as this surely meets the definition of "old news".

That doesn't even include the additional business rates they face on their 2300 stores, as well as the increase in minimum wage. Someone even suggested that they should be paying a windfall tax if they dare to increase prices so they don't make a loss! Prices will have to go up and the poorest will definitely suffer for this. It will be an important life lesson though for those who did vote for Labour and are now regretting it. I doubt that the £22bn being spaffed away on carbon capture or the £11bn going to Africa for climate aid will give them much comfort when at the till paying for their more expensive groceries.

Whoever would have thought that increasing costs to business would force them to pass these costs onto the customers, therefore increasing the cost of living for the lowest paid people in the country disproportionately. Labour are economically illiterate clowns.

And just like other decisions that the moronic PM has made, he has effectively doubled down on his stupidity and for the first time in political history for any PM has stated that the current foreign secretary is guaranteed the full 5 years in this role. Every time I feel he has scraped the bottom of the stupidity barrel, he manages to find more stupidity to use inside it. It's a bottomless stupidity barrel! "Starmer makes extraordinary vow to keep Foreign Secretary in post for at least FIVE YEARS despite repeated jibes at president-elect" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14048941/Starmer-David-Lammy-Foreign-Secretary-Trump-Neo-Nazi-sympathiser-tyrant-toupee.html

I'm jealous. If presented with a referendum on the UK becoming a 51st state I would vote for it. The UK electoral system means effectively we get a woke conservative party that has been infiltrated with leftists or a woke labour party. So dark times ahead for the UK, both figuratively and literally, as net zero nonsense means the lights will go out on a regular basis and the few manufacturing companies left relocate to other countries (like America) as the cost of production is significantly cheaper.
