@FiddyCalibre @AyoCaesar ZERO MIGRATION You people are not fucking serious. Jesus christ.

@AyoCaesar Reduced net migration 😂 it needed to be zero first and that’s trivial. He’s playing games.

There's a point to be made about what Keir Starmer didn't get credit for: Great British Railways, staying clear of punitive Trump tariffs, overseeing a fall in net migration. But...

@LemmyPuonyu @Bosey1982 @atrupar They do when they're the President

@Bosey1982 @atrupar Ahahha retarded people’s opinions dont count

Trump: "You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. We've got 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect them from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well. He said very nice things about me. He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person."

@MyronGainesX @louistheroux Did you cry when she left you bro? You looked sad. No shame in it, it must be tough thinking you had something then throwing it all away. Sure the money is worth it.

Hey, @louistheroux, why did you edit out this context critical part from the Netflix documentary? Was it because it shows my ex accepted my one-way polygamous relationship which blows up the narrative you tried to spin in the "documentary"? This is JUST 1 of many clips I have proving your deceptive "journalism". You’re a liar with an agenda, and it’s time for you to be exposed.

@Obsrver_ @adamndsmith So you're in favour of banning alcohol then? And cigarettes caffeine, etc

@adamndsmith Making them legal means more have access to them, and increases consumption of them. This negatively affects society by increasing consumption by people who would not have done so previously, and results in people becoming addicted in the same way people become alcoholics.

Having a memory is illegal in Britain. Teachers, and parents, in 2005: “children should learn about drugs when they’re about 9 or 10, in primary school” The Green Party, in 2026: “children should learn about drugs when they’re about 9 or 10, in primary school” And people are screaming that this is controversial, lying that the Green Party will teach your 4 year-old to take cocaine. And they think people are stupid enough to believe them.

@kerstingfamily @harriepw @grok How the fuck would grok know

@harriepw @grok - is this true?

Hearing that Reform UK's Matt Goodwin was fuming after last night's BBC debate - so much so that he told BBC staff to edit parts out or he'd take legal action.

@benbrownuk @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth Ahh that's were you're mistaken, because your argument was blown apart in the first response asking you about profits vs wages. What more needed to be said? I'm just here laughing at you.

@fthpices @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth "If I just call everyone an idiot in my first post I never actually have to make an argument."

The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare" Mick: "Exactly"

@benbrownuk @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth "Everyone, no matter their politics, calls me an idiot. This means I'm correct"

@fthpices @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth You're a strange bunch. More obsessed with 'owning' and 'handing arses' to people than the people I argue on the right are. And they're fucking nuts.

@benbrownuk @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth Just own it mate. It's pretty clear who Mick is referring to in the OP when you come flying in with an actchualllly and then got your arse handed back to you. It's just undignified now with you carrying on trying to justify it

@fthpices @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth All private healthcare businesses "extract profit". That's their job. If you want to criticize what this person has done specifically then do so. Just make vague insinuations about them working in private healthcare when you fully concede that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

@benbrownuk @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth So you just a regular idiot who can't understand the difference between someone who works for a salary and someone who "extracts profit". Jesus christ.

@fthpices @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth I think it's a good point to make that you can't immediately assume everyone that works in the for profit part of the healthcare industry is an untouchable who must never be considered for public office, yes.

@benbrownuk @SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth Dumbest motherfuckers in the country. Did you think this was a good point to make?

@SpringfieldJak @SaulStaniforth They are being paid a wage from the extracted profit.

I'm not sure how, or if, an independent peer can be removed from the house of Lords.

@El8Musico @VeeBee1001 @WilliamofKent @linmeitalks Do you really believe that never in your short, miserable life have you ever benefited from someone else's university education?

Not sure why people can’t comprehend how student loan/debt should be treated as a scandal. Most of us were TOLD at school…. When we were CHILDREN, you’ll get a loan which will have minimal impact on you, don’t worry about it too much, just apply on UCAS and hope for the best. No one told us about the increase of crippling interest, how it will affect your ability to buy a house and your general take home income, with little hope of paying it off….. No one thought …. Let’s ensure these financial products are fully understood by these bunch of KIDS who have never even had a credit card or an overdraft in life. How can people understand misselling for car loans, Accident claims, loans sharks, but not this??

@C_Small_ @Number10cat @GoodwinMJ You are truly some of the dumbest people in the country. Why are you using the smallest possible area profile?

@Number10cat @GoodwinMJ The people of Gorton & Denton:

I will be standing for Reform UK in the Gorton & Denton by-election on February 26th. This election is a referendum on Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. If you want him out, vote Reform.

@RetroRobson @JSMilbank Then you have to stop employers demanding degree qualifications for entry level positions, and instead make them pay for on the job training.

@JSMilbank What about the middle ground, which is what I went through, where only the top 5% or so went ? What you can't have is half the population going on the government's dime.

Or we could just stop taxing people for going to university, an objectively insane thing to do

@SamCoatesSky Ah yes, why bother voting for leaders we want. We should just keep saying names until the bond market reacts favourably and install them for life, to make sure line keeps going up.

Someone on a trading floor just messaged “The Burnham angle to the Gwynne story was very interesting for markets as we saw a sudden sell off in GBP and gilts. Nothing huge in real terms but it certainly confirmed how the market would react to Burnham potentially having a pathway into Parliament and then putting in a leadership challenge. “The underlying political risk view for markets is that as bad as Starmer and Reeves may be, there's potentially something worse waiting in the wings, of which Burnham is but one.”

@junkergeorg15 @SandyofCthulhu So when you said bigger you didn't actually mean bigger, you meant more homogenised. Yeah okay I can understand that.

I figured someone would post something like this, misunderstanding my meaning. How many countries in Europe does it take to equal the land mass of the USA (lower 48 states)? For example, how many kilometers does it take to go from, say, Munich, Germany to Florence, Italy? If I drive the same distance in the USA, say in the Midwest, I'm still in the Midwest. Lol So its not as simple or easy to just hop a train and quickly be in another country, be exposed to distinctive language and culture...so as to be "international."

No one hates Europe, even among the most radical Trump supporters. We think Europe makes a lot of dumb decisions. We think Europe is full of parasites nowadays. But we don't hate it. Trust me, I talk to a lot of Americans and we still want to go on vacation to Europe and are proud of our European heritage, and like European recipes. Don't be fooled by your own propaganda.

@junkergeorg15 @SandyofCthulhu

I don't hate Europe. But having lived over there, alot of Europeans dislike if not hate Americans, that is, other than their tourist dollars. It was like I would often be accosted and expected to give an answer as to why my US Govt was doing such and such, as if I had a direct line to the President. So many times I'd get lectured at about it despite my never bringing up politics. One thing you'll find is that they are much more focused on the USA than we are on them, to the point that they feel insulted that you don't pay attention to things outside the USA. What many of them do not realize is the USA to some extent lives in a Media bubble and doesn't get too much international news unless you search for it. They also don't realize that the USA is much bigger land mass than Europe, so its not like we can easily hop a train and travel to other countries and cultures that easily. Though I love the history, cultures, and landscapes in Europe, especially the Alps (which in my opinion are way more beautiful than our Rockies), nevertheless, I honestly don't have any desire to return given the reasons I stated above. Tiresome. Though again, I met some people who were wonderful exceptions--who could rise above politics and just see you as a unique person and not just an American. But they were the exception.

@christopherhope Hey grok why can't the uk government trust someone with zero diplomatic experience, who is allegedlly on Putin's payroll and has history of selling out the country he claims to be a patriot of, with "de-escalating the Greenland crisis"

LATEST Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is today in Davos, at USA House, meeting members of the Trump administration, perhaps President Trump himself. He tells me NO ONE from HM Government has reached out to him to ask if he can de-escalate the Greenland crisis in the national interest. This seems to me to be self-defeating by Sir Keir Starmer and his team. @GBNEWS

@Linklevosstwins @HromDrom @Copernicus2013 @will_alverson So easy being a RW intellectual these days. Just post a screenshot of Grok's response to your shitty prompt that you don't actually understand yourself to automagically Own the Libs

@HromDrom @Copernicus2013 @will_alverson You guys can’t read holy shit

The rhetoric from the US could be delivered better, yes But man, the second we say we dont want to handle everyones defense, subsidize their drug prices, and pay unequal tariffs, all of our allies just jump into the arms of the CCP? Message received I guess

@toujoursyucky @sasimons Sure, and I was referring to the widespread abandonment of military hardware that happened when the US evacuated Afghanistan in 2021, and Saigon in 1975. Not sure what you were getting from it tho

@fthpices @sasimons No, but it doesn’t take much to understand that I was referring to the last of US troops being forced out of Afghanistan via final helicopter flights similar to how it left Saigon

discussing Venezuela in her podcast today, Whitney Cummings warns that the US has a mixed record on foreign interventions: "For every Vietnam, there's an Afghanistan."
