Do you want to discuss boring politics? (179 Viewers)

You really are ridiculous

Flag waving appeals to your previous red wall even Starmer isn’t stupid enough not to realise he has to have a Union Jack next to him whenever he is photographed - if you ran the Labour Party they’d get less votes than the monster raving looney party - you’d alienate key voters in a second

The video hardly featured the candidate it was meant to promote-is that considered genius strategy?

Again you are trying to be angry about something that doesn’t exist

Javid vs hunt or shapps he would win very easily - given the party you support is a bastion of white and predominantly male representatives in key positions I think you need to look closer to home for what you are seeking

Islamophobia doesn't exist in the Tory party-got it. I'm not a partisan hack either-no party is getting my vote at the moment

I'll try and find it, it was on Twitter

Well at least she speaks competently and coherently, and is able to put an argument across, unlike Johnson.

Just a shame that the actual content is absolute guff as what she denies was proven to have happened in a court of law.

Another lying Tory. Shock.

Er its the end of the video I am referring to? Anyway whatever - Go on go and play with some tanks you know you like it during break time

 

[skybluetony176]

Shapps has pulled out and backs Sunak, Raab backs Sunak.

 

[skybluetony176]

Rees-Mogg and Dorries think that Truss who campaigned and voted for remain is a true brexiteer. The fantasy continues.

Apparently Suella Braverman isn’t going to get 20 backers so looks like she’s out.

It's amazing that you constantly accuse people of being ridiculous or of debating like children yet you post shit like this. Your lack of self awareness is astonishing.

The mental gymnastics the contenders and their backers are going through is quite something.

I am engaging at the level of the audience

Who cares about the cost of living crisis or the NHS.

Ben & Jerry's being woke is what the public really wants to hear about

The fact that you think everyone ends up talking like a child to you says much more about you than it does everyone else.

Well Starmer doesn’t - he’d rather waste parliament time with a vote of no confidence rather than discussing actual issues

Who ends up talking like a child to me? Even the left side of this forum laugh at your Starmer hero worship. The great orator lol

The hard left don't like Starmer? Wow what a stunning revelation, so glad you pointed that out

You've accused just about everyone in this thread of being ridiculous or debating like a 6th former

 

[Grendel]

I really would describe @fernandopartridge @Ian1779 and @Brighton Sky Blue as the hard left - you are just a walking cliche

'Hard left' meaning what exactly

Oh you are very liberal there’s one actual socialist on this forum and one whose close to it.

Oh go on, who are they?

(You and Steve?)

Which one wil expel Mo Farah ?

No one according to the article.
As he was a child.
I read an article yesterday regards a woman who was granted residency aged 8 from the West Indies.
28 years old she gave birth to a child about a year ago and has been told she can't bring it back.
Unless I misread it appeared that they were suggesting to separate the two as by implication the mother could return and consequently provide for the child upbringing /care remotely

Sir Mo Farah reveals he was trafficked to the UK aged nine under name of another child

The Olympic star was warned speaking out could put his British citizenship at real risk - but it is understood the Home Office is taking no action against him given that he was a child when the trafficking took place

I don't think shmmeee thinks much of him either and he's not exactly hard left

I prefer comrade.

 

[SBT]

sigh

I was going to say a few token black faces to make the party look inclusive - should I have said that?

Yes, “ethnics” is an outdated and condescending term, so best not to use that.

 

[PVA]

I think he's been pretty positive about him as far as I can see.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh you are very liberal there’s one actual socialist on this forum and one whose close to it.

What does it mean though? Is it really 'hard left' to want less VAT, higher minimum wage, more spent on education etc?

 

[skybluetony176]

Doesn’t sound like Javid is going to make the first fence.

The only one who resigns from the government on principle can't get enough MPs behind him. Not quite sure what that says!

I think it shows how much we've lurched to the right when you see some of the stuff been described as hard left or Marxist.
I don't consider myself a socialist really, I just think some of this rampant neo liberalism needs reigning in there needs to be a program of renationalisation in some industries.

I mean, take water for example, is wanting money spent on infrastructure so shit isn't getting poured in to our rivers and coasts a left wing idea of is not bathing in shit just better than bathing in shit?!

I think it'll be Sunak v Truss or Mordaunt, with whichever of those last two gets through going on to win

He likes to fantasise about me in some sort of homoerotic situation. Pretty sure he thinks it’s an insult but not being homophonic I just find it amusing and telling about his own negative, outdated views on homosexuality.

 

[skybluetony176]

I don’t know, I’m starting to think it’s Truss vs Sunak or Mordaunt. Camp Boris is clearly lining up behind Truss and I think that might be enough to see her through to the final 2, the ERG might be the difference in selecting who faces Truss and if David Davis is anything to go by they’re going to back Mordaunt.

 

[skybluetony176]

Latest poling amongst members indicate Sunak can’t win against anyone, well not anyone he’s going to face in the final two, should he himself get there.

 

[skybluetony176]

Pritti awful not standing, confirmed.

I see he said that Mordaunt was 'popular in Scotland and with young people'. Genuinely who had heard of her before this week?

The threshold to be called 'far right' seems to always be much higher. Like you have to be in Nick Griffin or Britain First territory, whereas to be called hard left you have to not want Mick Lynch ritually sacrificed on train tracks
