Populism is just a term invented by losers.
the small boats landing is a particularly difficult problem to solve
UK has no power to stop migrants leaving France and the French arent exactly going to stop them leaving............not much reform could do
Farage would of course try and leave ECHR, but that creates issues with Good Friday Agreement
Its losers who vote for populism
Trump is a right wing populist, his voters love him
hows that working out for Trump voting farmers, or Trump voting truck drivers, or Trump voting small business owners??
WTF didnt Starmer talk to his comms team about whether it was a good idea to use that term

its not his worse gaff.
Keir Starmer says 99.9% of women 'haven't got a penis' as he faces questions over trans rights
The Labour leader insisted if his party won the next general election there would be no "rolling back" of women's rights.
A cynical view, but you are unfortunately probably not too wrong.
Things can / do take a long time to fix. Some things can't be fixed, only made better, maintained, or their demise slowed.
A skilled politician (or politicians) can get the voting public to stick with them, even if the course may be tough and the road, long.
Populism is just a term to politely describe the motivations of the spiteful, selfish, stupid........
Public Services - The head count of civil servants has shot up since Covid - Numbers can be reduced simply by ridding the CS of the dead wood who are just biding their time for pension and the slackers.
Cut Taxes for the Rich - These rich kids generate a lot of money for the treasury - How many millionaires and non-doms have emigrated since July?
Deregulate Environmental Controls - Net Zero is a scam - Drax wood pellets from Canada and now Coal/Iron Ore from Japan/Australia. Solar Panels from Chinese slave labour.
Workers Rights - Labour's plan to re-introduce the 'one out, all out' is your idea of worker's rights?
Fishing Industry - Nigel did Boris a favour by stepping down many of his candidates to ensure the Tories got elected. Boris then turned his back on Nigel's policy to support the fishing industry. Even now, Labour are using the UK fishing industry as a bargaining tool to re-establish links with the EU.
You sound bitter, did Starmer pull the wool over your eyes, growth? taxes? stop the boats?, populism eh?
God's country.
I'd rather see a socialist party in power yes, hence why I'm not griping about politics so much now. Labour won the G.E. and I'm cool with that. They will always likely get my vote, correct. I wasn't all that averse to Rishi. Just that lying idiot Boris and his get-rich-quick chums, I despise.He must be feeling more and more isolated these days. Tough luck, Boyo!
Politics locally - I'm clueless. I didn't vote in the locals (not sure I ever have?).
the civil service is not the same as public services
by the way the civil service went up by almost a 100,000 due to brexit -which you voted for
do you have evidence of these "slackers"
no its not
simply wrong
sure there are lots of things that need addressing -its not proof net zero is a scam
I guess you are a Reform party supporter...........why do you think Richard Tice spends his time pushing climate change myths and misinformation, does it have anything to do with the fact Reform have fossil fuel donors
Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election
