It's interesting that the demographic of those who think this isn't shared.
Because I'm guessing there were a section of women and many people of colour who don't think life was better in the 70s than now. Also, disabled people and those who identify as LGBTQ+. It deffo was not happier times.

Remember when multiple right-wing idiots told us of "no-go zones" for white people? Turns out, there are "no-go zones" which are areas that NHS staff, who are not white, are feeling "deliberately intimidated".
These are real and valid feelings. Do not dismiss.

Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.
For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

Ah delightful.
Danny Kruger on #r4today telling us that Pochin ‘clearly meant something else’. I don’t think so Danny.
‘It’s concern about DEI!’ - also no.
‘Nigel has concluded she’s not racist, so she’s not’ - v much not how it works.
Insulting to all of us that they churn out this ugly nonsense.

The Sky interview on Nuneaton high Street in the Summer a perfect snapshot. An Asian businessman expressing his concern with flags etc, a group of youths racially abusing him, and a white shop owner demurring to comment at first then saying "yes it's worse since Reform". She is the silent majority.

Broadcasters - especially the BBC - have been working hard to ensure they give a voice to the 25-35% of people willing to vote Reform (and harder groups within that, like anti-asylum protest and Tommy protest)

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.
This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR
This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"
NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt
No govt since Idi Amin has done this

‘Suck it up’: leaked video exposes bitter infighting at Reform UK’s flagship Kent council
Exclusive: Footage reveals Kent leader berating councillors amid rows over budgets and bullying claims
Bitter divisions in Reform UK’s flagship county council have been laid bare in a leaked video of a chaotic internal meeting where members were told to “fucking suck it up” if they did not agree with decisions.
Councillors can be seen complaining about “backbiting” and being ignored by their leader, Linden Kemkaran, who tells them they will be “screwed” and that Reform can forget about winning the general election if they don’t balance Kent’s budget. Continue reading...

We recognise that true national renewal must begin in our communities.
We know that politics and decision-making should be driven by communities themselves, shaped from the ground up.
