Agree with you on this. He’s made explicitly and openly racist comments about Eastern Europeans - including on BBC’s Question Time! - and no-one batted an eyelid but the equally racist stuff he said as a schoolboy seems to be really cutting through

Does the life expectancy cost point not depend a lot on general level of health though? A person with numerous alcohol related health issues who dies 10 years younger might still cost more

He is critical of Starmer and of anti immigration politics in general, I don’t think he can be reasonably described as right wing

No fan of his or the govt he served in, but his comments on Reform UK were more pertinent than anything that has come from anyone in the Labour govt, and should be welcomed

You just said you didn’t care about him which is pretty standard for someone living in the UK. No idea why anyone got tetchy about it! The free speech warriors who deride cancel culture seem pretty quiet

There are other ways for opposition leaders to communicate with the govt and the public (other than via the social media network owned by the individual they are seeking to sanction). It might work best for publicity but sends a contradictory message

Ostensibly he is trying to influence UK govt policy on Musk, which shouldn’t require him to post on his platform

Why does Davey think Musk needs to see his comments?
