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

More of the Makerfield Reform fella's back story not adding up. I, for one, am shocked.

made a few discoveries in this thread

 

Rabbit hole going on there..

Nothing worse than is currently being passed around by other reform councillors tbf. 

It really is a party of bullyboy tactics and racism, been something daft like 20 Councillors back down since the elections, do they all need by-elections? Will reform foot the bill for not doing due diligence?

 

How do you even go about reporting past racist tweets etc?

Thing is, no-one would have really cared 2 years ago (and came 2nd) when he ran as it's in a backwater constituency. A bit different when you're up against the potential future PM

I love it when people say KS is the worst Prime Minister the country has ever had. Like they've an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history and careers of all Prime Ministers dating back to Robert Walpole 😁

I do agree with you on this one. They should be saying "the worst PM in living memory".

I have long been an advocate of "Deliberative Democracy", research shows it produces the the best decisions and better support across diverse communities.

For democratic decisions to be legitimate they must be independent and free of influence caused by uneven power or financial gains.

Citizens Groups should be able debate locally and offer opinions to the central government, maybe central government should be more AI driven processing the devolved wishes.

I have long been a fan of benign dictatorship.

Yeah but his name can be traced back to Makerfield for the past 200 years. 
 

A man of proper native pure blood 💪

 He probably just serviced some nhs boilers as part of his job.

Anyway… this by-election is possibly the most important we’ve ever seen in British politics. Mad to think it could decide the next election.

 It’s going to be incredibly tight

Are we not dragging up past tweets anymore?

It seems that doing so for a reform candidate is just fear and bitterness.

The rules seem to shift around a lot nowadays.

That Starmer again, doing trade deals, watching inflation fall and leading the strongest growing economy in the G7.

From the article.

‘The Conservatives, who began the negotiations for the deal when in government, said it was "another major Brexit opportunity" which Labour risked "throwing away" because of what it saw as Labour's pro-EU stance.’

You've conveniently left out a lot other economic data. Unemployment, inflation, fuel prices, borrowing all up since they came into power.

Anyway, as we are 3 years away from a (scheduled) GE and with a huge majority, it does make you wonder why we are going through this pantomime.

I’ve employed sales guys in the past who would sit in meetings and tap on about pipelines and how it was all going to happen but it never quite did.

Ive also employed sales guys who would walk in the room and throw their orders on the table. That they’d actually got the deals for.

Theyre the ones that tended to last longer 😉

Looks like a nasty piece of work behind that shiny exterior

Moir is just a columnist, he should rise above her taunts

However Wilders is a closet Nazi, but if you want to be a PM...

Yep. Threatened someone with a baseball bat as well. There’s loads of stuff out  there that will be dragged up for all the players in this farce.

Literally nobody is denying that this is the case. 

Jesus - does every SINGLE piece of good or bad news need to be dissected across party lines and spun?

Unfortunately, inflation will very likelyshoot up again.

Once the fuel price increases and subsequent food costs come into the equation, the effect will be dramatic.

Not necessarily the direct fault of the government, but that doesn't count in politics.

The labour strapline previously was "Tory cost of living crisis". Wasn't their fault that Russia invaded of course, but that doesn't matter.

Say it enough, and it's gospel.

Hence why the opposition this time will also use it against them.

2.8% is still 0.8% higher than when they took office.

I'm not sure that some folk understand inflation, and that it is compared with the year previous.

Large increases in costs and prices when they came in raised the rate.

A year on, and the current rate is reflecting those price increases that already occurred. 

It would be quite difficult to maintain that level of inflation year on year.

Get your bad news in early is typically the philosophy of a new government. 

Unfortunately, the rate is still at 2.8%- an increase above the desired rate, on top of huge rate increases previously.

Marvellous.
