We have known what he is like since 2015. And yet the numbers who vote for him have increased at every election. People clearly want an incompetent, vain, bigoted ignoramus in the White House. What does that say about voters?

How are you any different? You literally went to help Putin's genocide in Ukraine, and leave NATO. You seem to enjoy a fascist as much as Farage does.

Hahahahha

And yet you won't promise to reverse it. The reasons you gave for not having a policy to rejoin the EU were pathetic and unconvincing. You're no friend to those us who want to rejoin.

Excellent piece! I am sceptical that changing leader is sensible. But Starmer is so incompetent! Can he even find an effective director of communications or chief of staff? If I could replace him, I'd go for Miliband. He was Labour's best leader while in opposition. I think he'd be ace.

You're not wrong, I am here in Finland (though I am British), and we have the proto-fascists in government!

Won't hear an argument from me. When Powell gave his Rivers of Blood Speech the entire political establishment condemned him. Meanwhile Labour are pandering to Reform on the issue of refugees. The Tories are Reform *are* worse though. They are talking about deporting legal immigrants.

In the podcast @bwalker.uk argues that Plaid won't benefit from tactical voting in the next Senedd general election. Why does he think that? By my reckoning if Caerffili had been d'Hondt it would be 3 to Reform, and 3 to Plaid. But if 3,000 Lab voters switched to Plaid, it would be 4-2 to Plaid.

By my reckoning, if the Caerffili result had been a d'Hondt election Plaid and Reform would each win 3 seats. *But* if 3,000 of the Labour voters had tactically switched to Plaid, then Plaid would win 4 seats and Reform 2 seats. Food for thought.

I am talking about the Polanski. He has ways said he is a populist. Populists like fascists, that is a given. Polanski has said he want to abandon Ukraine to Putin's genocide. He has said he wants to leave NATO. The guy is clearly an idiot.

Greens want to abandon Ukraine. That is tantamount to supporting fascism in Russia. Leaving NATO is a cretinous policy. Not a serious party.

Labour's campaign was all negative, it was atrociously bad. They're doomed next spring unless they find a positive issue to campaign on. With the new list system, and full PR, the zero-sum game of FPTP simply won't work.

They're both populists who love a fascist dictator.

She's angry because people treated her with respect, despite disagreeing with her politics.

You are merely displaying your misogyny. If you're arguing that Trump was preferable, then you're just proving my point. *No* woman would be good enough for you "brother", because you'll always find the excuse to choose the much, much worse man. Thanks for proving me right.

Your misogyny is rank.

And misogynists. The two times Trump wpn he faced a woman. Those two women were both ten times the person he is. More intelligent, more experienced, better in every conceivable way. But Americans preferred an insane man. Sexism writ large.
