What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

They're only here for 1 election, and they'll get maybe 3 million votes and 2 or 3 seats - they'll then vanish before the next GE, as by then, the Conservative Party will have sorted themselves out, and I suspect, may well have Farage as leader.

I would be amazed if Farage would ever want to leader, he has built himself a real niche of power as the disruptor. Other than Rishi why would anyone with massive wealth or in Farages instance massive earnings potential want the job ? Farage will earn more a year winding people up than he would as PM. 

The thing is with Farage. Has he ever actually run something? He's good at shouting from the sidelines - but we can all do that. Has he got a track record of managing anything?

No.

He is a grifter.

Thought not. That's why I think Starmer is a good bet at the moment. We just need someone boring, competent and with a decent track record of managing things.

Exactly. Politics should be boring, its all about the boring details that get stuff actually done in the best interests of the country.

Not soundbites, three word slogans or anything else based on bullshit 

They took the public for fools and have been found out. The gullible will do the same with reform.

Very impressed with the interview with Bridget Phillipson on Leading this week. 

This is the nearest we’ll get to the BBC saying it’s nonsense.

Tell you what

For someone who claims to have voted Labour all his life, you don’t half give them a rough ride, whilst rarely criticising the Tories.

It does scan a little strange

Haha. Absolute rubbish. I think others will confirm that. 
Anyway, with regards to my comment about the mortgage nonsense, does it not concern you that the party who will form our next government come out with crap like that when they are so far ahead in the polls? It should.

Nope. I said I’ve voted for 3 different parties.

That, you have got right. 👍

As I said the other night, according to the polls, almost 2/3 of those polled don’t like them either. It’s not an unpopular position. Maybe on here it is.

So they can make decisions that make them and their pals more money. That part is the only bit that makes sense

Not good form. I understand there's bullshit peddled by all sides in an election but you should rise above it IMO.

Reform's budget claims have been torn to shreds by an incredulous IFS I note!

He has carved himself a niche were he can influence stuff without the hassle. There are just a few extra pigs with their noses in the trough now.

I’d be more concerned about what they say about Labour than a party who may end up with a handful of MP’s.
