@VBcoachInCali @evanwch You are so far up Trump’s rectum that when farts, you whistle. Nowhere do you condemn him. Everywhere do you excuse him and/or seek to find method in his malign, psychotic delusion. What’s wrong with you?

@PartisanOracle Trump is a rapist and a sexual abuser. He’s even admitted it. He’s also mentioned a million times in the Epstein Papers. To say nothing of the corruption, mendacity and his support of Putin.

After the recent exposure of Cesar Chavez as a rapist and sexual abuser, I’m just wondering… is there a single Hero of the Left who isn’t a singularly and objectively awful human being? I need examples!

@PartisanOracle do you think Putin is a corrupt and murderous dictator who has outlawed free speech, free elections and a free press and kills his political opponents to maintain his position?

@PartisanOracle @VBcoachInCali @evanwch No one can see that. Trump can’t even explain it. His every other sentence contradicts the other. Trying endlessly to divine genius in madness is the very definition of a cult. Prove me wrong. What was this master strategy that involved the closure of the Straits of Hormuz?

@WasOnceLoved @VBcoachInCali @evanwch If that’s what you believe, your opinion is as ignorant and stupid as it is irrelevant. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can now see Trump has a master strategy he’s pursuing. You sound like someone who got genetically modified for a donut. 🍩

@CuriosityonX Before the Big Bang, there was no “before”, time itself, along with space, matter, and energy, emerged from that singular explosive expansion of an infinitely dense point, making the question as mind-bending as asking what’s north of the North Pole.

Nial still can’t tell us what improved under 14 years of Tory incompetence and mismanagement. He just blames Labour for its last two years… but Labour can’t blame the financial crash apparently. He’s defending the likes of Truss and Johnson!
Nial Stewart@StewartNial

@WasOnceLoved It's hard to improve things as you're forced to cut public spending when you've inherited the horrendous deficit they did. Much easier to spaff money up the wall like labour pre 2010 that led to the problem.

@StewartNial @KernowQ They increased public sending yes. And the country had years of growth and prosperity. See how that works? We have a fiat currency. We decide how and when to invest. You’re bailing because you can’t support your arguments.

@WasOnceLoved @KernowQ "From the GFC yes" And the massively inflated public spending. They are doing the same again, trying to spend their way to growth which has worked so brilliantly well before. I'm not wasting any more time with an MMT advocate who doesn't understand what he's posted.

If you want to see what real damage to the economy looks like, look at 2010 - 24! Tories trippled the national debt, buggered the country with brexit costing 100 bn a year, caused 230,000 premature deaths and gave 100 bn to themselves. What a despicable liar you are!
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

Rachel Reeves has trashed our economy. Britain's inflation is the highest in the G7 - and that's before the Middle East crisis is taken into account. Growth flat. Record borrowing. Crippling taxes. Only @Conservatives have a plan to get Britain working again.

@StewartNial Now you’re just cycling back to your earlier false claims. But now you know they’re false, so you’re lying. Nothing was spaffed. Countries need investment. You don’t seem to understand that. Typical Tory. Did you vote for Brexit too?

@WasOnceLoved @KernowQ I understand that you don't understand the graph. 1990 Tories inherit deficit, turn that around. 1997 Labour inherit growth, start spending 2010 Tories inherit a horrendous deficit, turned it around then covid hit. 2024 Labout inherit ~0 deficit, start spending again.

@StewartNial @KernowQ You understand that your arguments are inconsistent and incoherent? Av growth GDP Tory 1990-97: 2.1% Labour: 1997 - 2010: 2.1% (But pre-GFC 2.8%!) TORIES 2010 - 24: 1.6% Like I said: You’re busted. You have no argument, just tribal loyalty.

@WasOnceLoved @KernowQ "Under control… after 9 years?" As your graph shows. "Av Lab: 2.4% Inc the GFC" What did they inherit from the pervious tory govt? Growth. Do you understand what you posted? "What improved under the Tories?" Education.

@StewartNial @KernowQ From the GFC yes. And they took a decade to control it. Despite austerity and falling wages. But you want Labour to make a difference after 18 months yeah? After 14 years of underinvestment and the Tory Brexit.

@StewartNial @KernowQ And what are you blaming the Tories’ much larger av deficit on? Larger and longer than Labour’s with no attendant improvement in investment, living standards, infrastructure or services. Labour av 2.4% GDP Tories av 5.5% GDP [ONS] Hmmm…

So… we can blame 14 years of Tory ineptitude and failure on the Labour Party but we can’t blame 18 months of Labour Party on the Tories? Nial is struggling. Unknot your blue scarf, man.
Nial Stewart@StewartNial

@WasOnceLoved @KernowQ If you're blaming the massive deficit on the GFC (though it also followed Labour's massive spending increases) you can hardly blame the Tories for increasing the country's debt, which was the false grievance in the original post. The Tories campaigned against Brexit. 👍
