Makerfield

[SPLINE]

They need to settle their differences and work together.

I've written to them both.

 

[THFC]

I'm going to predict 33% Reform, 33% Restore, 34% Labour.

Split the vote, let the enemy through.

It will backfire on Restore, Farage can blame Restore for PM Burnham and re-joining the EU by stealth.

They need to settle their differences and work together.

I agree. They need to join together with Rupert Lowe as the Leader.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

It doesn't matter who. Either is fine by me, the other as deputy.

But that won't happen before Makerfield. Which may let Burnham in. That may not be a bad thing, he'll be just as terrible as the rest and then can't be held up as the almighty socialist dream PM we never had.

If Burnham doesn't get in now then he'll probably become leader at some point, by whatever devious means. In time for the election after Reform's first term. It's best we experience reality before then, or some will still believe he's the saviour of the nation.

The bond markets will erupt as soon as he becomes PM, so it should be over pretty quickly. He's already said he's going to increase spending and borrowing, which just isn't possible now.

Is it really worth reading the Labour party's own toxic magazine's profile of their enemy's candidate?

I'll give it a skim...

he appeared to cast doubt on the efficacy of a vaccine

"appeared"... "a vaccine"...

Which one? (they don't state). Do you think that discussion about efficacy of vaccines should be banned?

You're drinking propaganda every time you read that vile rag.

The grauniad is dull rather than vile, but it does seem a vaccine denying plumber may get elected. I’d have thought you would welcome that.

vaccine denying

Fiction.

 

[blup]

Fiction.

A lot of re form voters believe it, and are encouraged by their hero Trumpf.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

I mean that your allegation that he's "vaccine denying" is fiction, as in you made it up.

Brilliant, thanks!

“Deleted posts on X show he appeared to cast doubt on the efficacy of a vaccine, interacted with a Dutch far-right influencer and praised Donald Trump.”
