@PeterMcCormack The rights biggest asset is how loony the left is

Political reality... the right has a problem... Reform has fumbled the ball. They were the anti-establishment option that became the establishment. They will continue to slide in the polls. Gone has the rhetoric of fixing the country, backed with bold policies. Now we have petrol station and energy bill gimmicks - it is embarrassing and the lack of self-awareness with this nonsense is incredible. Can they change course? Yes. Will they change course? No. GB News - The Reform Party TV station has a huge sunk cost, they backed a movement which is now failing. They can't back Restore, despite the fact that many viewers have already switched sides. Reform will continue to slide in the polls. Eventually Nigel will step down before 2029 rather than face defeat. The Conservatives really don't have momentum, certainly not with young people and their voter base is dying, literally. The Green's have momentum but Zack Polanski is a revolutionary. The problem with revolutionaries is they are great at revolutions, great at tearing things down, terrible at running things. As he has little to no understanding of economics, the country will certainly head into a strange and dangerous place under him. Sadly, a coalition with the Labour Party is likely, to ensure the left win. If they do, many of the wealth creators will leave the country before they confiscate everything. Utopia will not arrive and there will be many stupid people who will regret their vote. The right can save themselves in the next election, but it needs to be a proper anti-establishment movement. Restore has the right ideas and energy, but this is a big job over the next three years. The job is to educate and mobilise enough of the public to realise that: - Inflation must be dealt with - Growth must be allowed - The blob must be dismantled It requires big bold choices, like Milei has done in Argentina. The OBR must go, the Bank of England must be constrained, a chainsaw must be taken to the state, crime must be punished, indoctrination must be removed from education, etc... etc... The list is long, but it is all doable. Never in history has the problem of a country been solved with socialism, it always and everywhere makes things work, but there are many stupid voters who have not read history. Remember, this is a cult, it is ideological. We are in dangerous times!

@CharlieSansom Labour are a joke not just starmer. Have Wallace as an energy secretary who has been disgraceful, the most incompetent chancellor ever, 3 job lammy, and Diane Abbott looking like the sharp one in the party

“Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out.” If Keir Starmer is kicked out of Number 10 by his own party before May 7th then what will Reform UK campaign on? Last locals it was “Vote Reform to stop the boats,” which was a non-starter as councils have no jurisdiction there. Tax cuts again?

@PeterStefanovi2 @RachelReevesMP You are either a shill or thick as fuck to support her, no third option.

@SaulStaniforth @JOwusuNepaul Far too many go to uni

.@JOwusuNepaul argues we should abolish student loans Balls: "But Jovan, why should half the country who don't go to university.. why should they pay extra tax so that you don't have to pay to go to university" Reid: "Like they paid for us when we went to university" Quite.

@twinklresources They’ve not won a negotiation in years. Utterly pointless negotiations just create delays. Unions are powerless these days

The National Employers told TA Digest they will meet in February 2026 to consider the 2026 NJC pay claim twinkl.co.uk/l/1gsi4f

@BadPickle2105 @UNISONinLG @MikeShort8 They will get what they are given, not won a negotiation in years. Utterly pointless negotiations just create delays

@UNISONinLG What’s actually going on? Claim went in 2 months ago, nothing back yet? @MikeShort8

In 2025, household costs rose far faster than NJC pay - water +26.1%, energy +13.3%, rents +5.7%, food +5.9% versus NJC pay +3.2%. We’re asking for £3,000 or 10% plus £15 per hour (minimum). Help build pressure by emailing your councillor: unsn.uk/4jF1cq0

@UNISONinLG You get what you are given, you’ve not won a negotiation in years. Utterly pointless negotiations just create delays

Our NJC pay claim is affordable: estimated gross cost £3.3bn; net cost approx. £1.6bn after taxes/benefits — just over half is recouped by central government. Fair funding enables fair pay — and stronger local services. Members: Update details: unsn.uk/4jL14W8 #NJCpay

@Footballtweet All of them, let him lie on it

Who should stand up, so Sir Alex Ferguson can sit down? 🤔

@Corballyred Robbie fowler

12 most overhyped PL players ever: - Jaap Stam: Only 79 PL games for Utd before Fergie sold him. - Paul Scholes: Zero impact for England; retired by Lampard/Gerrard at 29. - David Beckham: Flopped at Real Madrid; not missed by Utd. - Eric Cantona: Never performed in Europe or internationally. - Didier Drogba: Avg just 11 PL goals/season (many pens). - Frank Lampard: Defensive liability; poor all-round game; ~40% goals from set pieces. - Eden Hazard: Avg 12 PL goals/season; only 1 season ≥20 in 7 yrs. - Willian: Avg just 5 goals/season. - Jack Grealish: £100m+ transfer; avg only 3 PL goals/season. - Mesut Özil: Ghosted in big games; luxury player; avg 4 PL goals/season. - Cole Palmer: 40% of 45 PL goals from pens; rarely vs Big 6; only 2 open-play goals vs top teams. - Phil Foden: Hailed best England player since Gazza despite 4 intl goals in 49 caps. Did I miss anyone 😄

@Oceanbreeze473 Should get a raise

Australian sports commentator Danika Mason was slurring her words and admittedly drunk during Olympic broadcast. Should she keep her job?

@TheCanaryUK It’s not a dichotomy

Our man Adam was out in Gorton and Denton again - and when you tell Reform supporters the facts about billionaires vs immigrants, the results are shocking...

@NotFarLeftAtAll Fick

“Thick little skulls” very patronising

@gabby_cabby @LifeInHerYet @NickBuckleyMBE Nick has already admitted this was a lie and he failed to properly check its veracity

@LifeInHerYet @NickBuckleyMBE What a wanker. Hope @NickBuckleyMBE wins. Watch the count though incase its crooked, happens all over.

We Mancunians aren't chavs 🙄. The Plp of Gorton and Denton deserves better than Matthew Goodwin. They deserve @NickBuckleyMBE - a true patriot who loves his community. Get voting for real change plp, vote Nick 🙌🏻🇬🇧.

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @DanPaulman 😂 is this parody? You had me going for a while

@mistralol @Dr_Gavin_Brewis @JohnAnd26 Weird thing is, we are telling him why and he refuses to accept it. It’s a cult attitude

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @adflaz @JohnAnd26 Its thing like, remove zero hour contracts. The result is you now get multiple part time positions eg 11-2 and 4-7 and then everyone has these crap minimum wage jobs at 20 hours/week and actually end up worse off overall. But YOU declare it a success to look good.

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @RobertS61962852 No because they are more productive, less training required, don’t affect their colleagues time.

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis If they didn’t waste 5 years in mostly wasteful education their bills would be much lower

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @JohnAnd26 They aren’t cheap labour that’s the point

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @JohnAnd26 Someone with experience doesn’t need to learn. A period which often means existing staff also have to take time out of their day

@mickeyhynes @Dr_Gavin_Brewis It’s the default coz it’s too high

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis Reform are obviously anti-worker, but NMW and NLW aren't the only systems you can use. I would advocate for radical pay transparency and sectoral bargaining. Minimum wage has become a default wage in many sectors.
