@owenjonesjourno It's those evil right wingers, no doubt!

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

@blaiklockBP No, only about 50%. The other 50 are utterly pathetic cowardly enablers.

The face of everything wrong in Britain.

@RmSalih @5Pillarsuk So what you saying is, islamists are in control of the Home Office? That does explain a lot...

Tommy, we have absolutely decimated your speakers list for your march on Saturday. Please be aware that Muslims got this done, especially @5Pillarsuk which got the bandwagon rolling. It was my pleasure.

@LeeHurstComic What did those rent boys had to do with our current PM then?

I thought Gordon Brown was gay. My bad.

@ItsJamesPowers Nope, the nuclear attack button is something much more useful as a threat than the actual unpleasantness of a radioactive fallout.

I am going to stick my neck out now, but I firmly believe that Keir Starmer will call a general election to stop them ousting him, he really is that kind of guy!!

@CodeRed_dev Old games like Quake 3 or HL or RE4 on Quest 2. Absolutely amazing and worth replaying. Second hand Quest 2s are dirt cheap. So, both great and affordable. Also plug Quest 2 into your PC and you can play Alyx. All viable, just not what most do for some reason.

How long will it take for Vr to be an actual viable way of playing games. Cause rn the tech either expensive or inconvenient.

@blagden_david With all the courses that are visa mills for Deliveroo drivers, would most of the unis go bust by just sorting out the immigration abuse? Best way forward is to try and predict the needs of the economy and society in 6 years and subsidize those; the market will sort out the rest.

Wild that - among all the talk of industries Britain might become “world-leading” in - there’s one that we already are…but are just letting it fail because no-one likes it (lefties because it’s quasi-marketised, righties because ‘woke media studies’) 1/4 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@shivmalik Social contract is broken because the ever reducing share of productive people feeds the ever increasing share of takers. The former are far less likely to violently complain than the latter. The latter are the client group of Labour. It is now unfixable without violence.

Four tips for an incoming PM: 1. Speed. This is a national emergency. Think about it in no other way. Clear the decks. It’s a war against stagnation. Time is your most precious resource. 2. Clarity. Fix one big thing, e.g. the social contract, and bang on and on about it. Two, three or four things simply won’t break through. 3. Honesty. Speak from the heart and admit the truth always. It’s really hard. It’s an active exercise. Blair did this well. Thatcher did it best. 4. Strength. There are no easy choices. When you come up against those people who bat you back, show you have stomach for the fight, and with determination and eloquence, argue back and be tough. It’ll make you unpopular in the moment but people will respect you soon enough. Farage does this well.

@investingluc Nah, still a bubble, even if most of the marketing is true. It will burst and then over about 10 years build up to its true potential. I'll buy and hold whoever survives the wipeout.

I don’t think enough people are mentally prepared for the possibility that this isn't a bubble at all.

@eliotranch "Left" is a hollowed out husk eaten up from the inside and worn by authoritarian globalists. Just like" political and cultural institutions and charities.

Explain to me how mass immigration is a 'left wing' concept. I can't fathom how people swallowed this idea wholesale. - Endless supply of cheap labour helps capitalists, not workers - Strip mining of talent from developing countries is a form of neocolonialism - Endless pressure on the housing market inflates assets and prevents the poorest from having reasonably priced homes - A refusal to train enough people here removes vocation paths that the working class used to follow - The most negative social and cultural second order consequences are happening to working class, deindustrialised or neglected areas So it's left wing how? I can see how anti-immigrant sentiment can be seen as ethnonationalism and therefore right wing. But I can't see how support for mass immigration is left wing. And to be clear: it's not just a part of left wing thought. It's now so central to left wing thought, apparently, that any divergence from this immediately makes you 'far right'.

@ShitpostRock2 @not__vee Games for “modern audiences”. Not all of them are bad.

What is this videogame genre called?

@ThenItCame @SomersetWasBlue @LibDems You forgot to mention, white people. Nobody non-white votes libdem.

Lib Dems are a coalition of wet centre-right people who think the Tories are too mean, or are still sore after Brexit, and snooty middle-class social lefties who think Labour are too working class. They used to do well with students with intellectual pretensions, but that collapsed after the coalition. When there were three main parties they were the none-of-the-above protest vote. They mostly do well in leafy well-off suburbs and rural areas.

As an ‘incomer’ to the West Country - albeit 10 years ago now - I simply have no idea why so many people here vote @LibDems - it’s completely beyond me! In general terms, why are they so attractive to voters here?? Anyone know?

@linmeitalks I'll do ok if I return. Probably won't ever have to work again after selling off my UK assets. My home country will however be rather hostile to me. And kids only speak English but kids easily adapt.

So immigrants, QUESTION…. You came to the UK with having NO intention to return home? Just leave your home country with no desire to go back among your countrymen, allow your children to experience living in the country you have ties with, no passion to try and change the system you ran away from! No passion to take the money you made here and the education you gained here and apply it back there? Just attached to the West forever more while still complaining about the natives of the West?

@Funminz Haven't heard anything on climate from Greens for about 4-5 months now. Just Gaza-Gaza-Gaza-Gaza.

Reform = anti immigration, low tax, socially conservative. Liberal Democrats = pro immigration, pro EU, socially liberal. Labour = pro public spending, pro workers rights, centre left. Conservatives = lower tax, tougher borders, traditional values. Green = pro immigration, pro EU, high tax on wealth, climate first.

@JeanHatchet Is it possible for Hackney to get any worse?

Hackney is fucked then.

@OpeYeemiii It was explicitly stated in my visa condition at the time and I was ready to leave at a moment's notice if asked. This is how it should be.

Being on a COS or any visa that guarantees legal stay but not permanent settlement in the UK should genuinely concern you. You are always one political policy shift away from your entire situation changing overnight. That’s why immigrants need to pay attention to what’s happening in the UK political space. Immigration policies are not static, and governments can tighten rules, raise thresholds, reduce pathways, or change settlement requirements at any time. No matter how stable things may seem today, if your long-term future in the UK depends on policies you cannot control, then staying informed is not optional.

@MorgothsReview The same reason as the popularity of rape fantasy novels within the same cohort.

The Green Party has pulled off the unusual feat of being aesthetically repellent despite being mainly supported by young white women.

@mmt_lvt @iSlimfit Too liberal economically and a too culturally conservative. Many good policies here and there. Don't seem to carry a very consistent message except dealing with immigration and otherwise very broad strokes for now. Rely on a single leader. But I'll take this option if offered.

@EatThatLetter @iSlimfit Surely Restore Britain is? I think you're just not aware of the far right micro parties, if Restore Britain isn't right wing enough for you

As immigrants, we should be very worried seeing Reform dominate the local council election results so far. What this could mean for the future of immigrants in the UK is concerning. With just a few years until the next General Election, hopefully the tide can still be turned.

@ScottishHodler Foreigner can vote, no ID requirement. Scottish elections is an indicator for sure but it would be great to see what result would a fair election bring.

Reasons to be cheerful 1. There is going to be no SNP majority government - good. 2. Green wins kill them as an all-things-to-all-people party. Makes messaging a lot harder for them as a national party. - good. 3. Low turnout will give the whole institution a legitimacy deficit and stop it doing anything too radical - good. 4. There will be a decent sized grouping of MSPs who will question every item of spending and tax from now on - good. 5. Scotland's 1 million Leave voters finally get a decent voice for them in their own local assembly - good.

@thinkdefence Yes, and he's on course to disappoint everyone, very centrist and neoliberal with a pinch of populism; charismatic when he wants to be but comes off as arrogant when he loses focus. Too left wing culturally and too liberal economically, very much a protest vote.

I say, Mr Farage does seem to be a rather polarising figure doesnt he?
