    No doubt the solution will be to swing to the right to chase after the voters who have already fucked off, rather than by having progressive policies that inspire their core base to come out and vote

      The anti-immigrant Reform, meanwhile, had gained more than 350 seats across the local councils.

      The Greens had more modest gains, picking up 23 seats by 10 a.m. local time (noon Israel time).

      Yep agreed, inshallah the greens should do more tiktok videos to appeal to their extreme right religious and clueless progressive left fanbase

      That’ll no doubt appeal to the country of the UK who has only benefited from immigration with zero drawbacks at all

          You commented on their post?
          The person you blocked is the OP of the post you commented on directly. So, it’s kinda expected they would reply to you

          For anyone else we are currently having a discussion in another thread and Naich the genius here doesn’t seem to realise that when you make a post and someone replies you get a notification with the reply

    I know the MSM are gunning for him, but seriously, appointing The Dark Lord didn’t do the PM any favours. He should never have been considered for any job in government.

    The Palestinian/Israeli issue hasn’t helped either, but he was going to be wrong on that whatever he did.

    You’re right though - apathy from voters has played straight in to Farage’s hands. The slimy fucker will be getting even more airplay now.

    The right voted for Reform rather than the shitty knock off version, as literally everybody knew would happen.

        Dark times ahead if we see a Reform government. We’re addicted to self harm!
