Now this is an overreach of the terrorism law that I can get behind!

With DB2? Ha! Don’t make me laugh.

Do you think anything this administration has done was thoroughly thought out and considered or plain reactionary and for mass media consumption?

From what we’ve seen this past year of Biden he seems more interested in visiting ice cream parlours and having an absolutely shit foreign policy.

I don’t think he understands the words even when they’re coming out of his own mouth.

If Kamala was a garbage candidate, what does that make Trump?

47th President of the USA?

Good luck with getting permission for a referendum on anything through parliament. You saw what happened last time. 🥲

I’d be very surprised if the government doesn’t fight tooth and nail against this amendment. Instead preferring a now is not the time style approach.

Or they could say… this wasn’t in our manifesto so we don’t feel comfortable bringing it forward 🥲.

The lesson for Democrats is surely that after years and years of telling anyone they could find that had concerns about society “oh you must be a literal Nazi, cope harder la la la la whoop whoop air high fives and fist bumps that’s roiiight ma BOI!” at some point these people are going to turn around and say “well ok then, I just won’t vote for you because you have nothing to offer me”.

I’m not saying the Republican party has done this any better, but surely insulting potential voters en masse and refusing to understand their concerns isn’t a sensible way to win elections. I didn’t work for Hilary either, and it hasn’t worked for Harris.

Can’t wait for Lammy to shake hands with Trump on his next state visit.

There’s a purple fluffy cloud? Ooo! Where?

Urrrgh. I’m never voting Lib Dems again.

I’ve literally never been stopped for not wearing a poppy. People wearing them don’t say anything to me about not wearing one and I don’t say anything to them about wearing one. It’s like me commenting on someone’s jewellery. Why the fuck would I? People want to wear what they want to wear.

Is this really such a newsworthy issue?

They include “research” when it suits their argument. And speak in absolutes. No drive time radio isn’t as popular as what it used to be… but he’s using all the same tricks.

He sells controversy. That’s his schtick.

Friend, I have news for you. The Home Office has been utterly shit for decades. Not simply under the Conservatives.

I think this gives too much credit to how badly run the Home Office is. Regardless of political party it is, and will remain, an utter shit show. There’s only so much incompetence throwing money at a department can cover up.

If I were still inside your mom I’d make that face too.

Hiiiiooooohhh

Dawn Butler has since deleted the post,

Why am I not surprised it was Dawn Butler 🧐.

The post described the former business secretary as a member of the “black collaborator class”.

Fucking hell. Does she even read what she retweets? Imagine, for a second, Trump doing this. Would we be defending his actions? Jaysus what is she thinking?

“The best thing will be when we get to a point where the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair,” she told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

I find it interesting that both Sunak and now Badenoch have said similar things about the colour of their skin and the fact they have been leaders of their party not being a big deal. For them they are are British and that’s how they identify. Whilst in both cases Labour has congratulated them as being the first Hindu to be PM and now the first Black person to be leader of a party. Don’t get me wrong these are important milestones, but I find it fascinating that the people who broke these barriers don’t consider it a core identity point and the party that hasn’t yet does.

I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They’re not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They’re not pointing to business opposition. They’re not saying anything but haven’t an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.

But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn’t.

Ed knows how to write for his audience. He’s a shock jock for the modern age.

I feel… and hear me out… you’re taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you’d read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They’re not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.

Could you imagine being this put out about the guardian opinion pieces?

Honest. I like it.
