It is. The hatred they get is off the scale. Whilst far from perfect it is the best government we have had for decades.

People sometimes say politics isn’t funny anymore. Those people clearly haven’t been watching the birth of Your Party…

Amazing how the mob baying for Starmer to quit and demanding another General Election less than two years after the last landslide win are the same idiots who said Brexit meant Brexit, and told us Remainers to get over it because the 52-48 [advisory] Referendum was the enduring will of the people.

Annnd sure enough BBC stirs the pot for Far Right Wing Racists narrative with this vacuous headline👇🏼

“Migrant Channel crossings resume after four-week gap”

Don’t recall them saying last weekend

“This is the third week without any Migrant Boat Crossings”

So it’s press / repeat usual the crap 🙄
Channel crossings resume after four weeks with no arrivals
The 28-day stretch with no arrivals was the longest period without any small boat crossings in seven years.

That pound shop Jeremy Hunt telling me that Labour has 'failed women' is more thany blood pressure can take.

Specialist teams and online investigators deployed across England and Wales to tackle 'national emergency' of violence against women and girls
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said her measures mean "abusers will have nowhere to hide" but the Conservatives claimed Labour had "failed women" and "broken its promises".

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit!

2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit!

This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Well. I’m on a pretty decent salary, particularly for the region I live in and none of the tax/ pension measures have affected me. None.

I work for a global Company, and I’m not struggling.

If I’m ok, so will others be.

If people with £5m houses have a problem, sell them.

Two disgraceful, former Tory PMs, Johnson & Truss, with Farage, partying together.
Such greedy people. Deluded, selfish, right wing liars and racists - who broke Britain's economy, but they're still laughing all the way to the bank

Inside private members' club bash where guests laugh at Hitler jokes and sing 'we're all racist now'
The dinner was attended by Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Liz Truss, Robert Jenrick and Lee Anderson among other high-profile political figures.

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

With his party riding high in the polls, toasting a game-changing £9m donation and welcoming its first Tory defector in the Lords, Nigel Farage seems to be sitting pretty. But creeping allegations of racist schoolboy behaviour — and his belligerent response to them — could harm his chances of winning over wavering voters, writes Josh Glancy (Cartoon of shocked? angry? frightened? people under the money bags holding placards saying ‘BIGOT’, ‘RACIST’ and ‘NAZI NIGEL’) Crick believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich." Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became. But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test. He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury? Farage is unlikely to change tack now. "He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey." Additional Reporting: Harry Yorke

Interesting what Crick notes.

Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

You probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening.

It’s morally wrong and a false economy. Spiteful and stupid, like a lot of Conservative policies. Forcing people especially kids into poverty takes away their life chances and their ability to contribute to our country, our economy when they grow up.

The report into Boris Johnson’s record during the Covid epidemic blames a ‘toxic, sexist and chaotic culture’ in Downing Street. Who’d have thought it?

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss"

"The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year"

"That's a tax yield of £40 billion"

"How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"
