Moving out of Walthamstow soon enough, but couldn’t leave without doing a leaflet run for our hardworking Labour councillors, Miriam, Ahsan and Andy. The People’s Republic in the home of William Morris stands 🚩

Labour does so badly in this poll mainly because, as the tables show, they lose 29% of their 2024 vote to the Lib Dems and Greens.
Only 8% goes to Reform, just ahead of the 6% to the Cons. Those Lab–Con switchers push the Tories over 20%, despite them losing a quarter of their 2024 vote to Reform.

The Black Death led to a significant shift in power from feudal lords to Labour and yet on balance most would probably forgo that if it didn’t kill 50% of the population

Permit me to disagree with my friend Dov and say „some tanks, more attack helicopters and self-propelled artillery”, get a grip, buy („some tanks, also lots of attack helicopters and self propelled artillery”)
There are very few Russophiles. There are a lot of children who won't take their medicine (buy tanks), and they need to get a grip (buy tanks)

Every person using this line also used the “You just want to fight to the last Ukrainian” lie & is telling you they’re happy for Poles to die so they don’t have to think about how they’re not actually some cool kid at uni with the Che poster up anymore
"If they can't beat Ukraine how will they beat Poland" is an even dumber variant of this, because, how do I put this. Ukraine is not the continental weak link, it has stronger resolve to fight than literally anyone else

Not well understood really, that Ukrainians are dying for Europe's security. Enormous Russian casualties weren't an accident, it was unexpected (remarkable) Ukrainian resolve
Incidentally, Owen is doing a very embarrassing "talking out of his ass about things he knows nothing about". Russia is being held off by Ukrainian resolve and Western weapons supplies, not by Russian weakness.

Few thoughts on the "Polish exodus" from the UK.
1. It's not an 'exodus', it's a slow drip. We're fine, thanks.
2. Migration is really complicated.
3. The absolute cheek of the very same media attacking Poles for years lamenting their departure.
4. What you can do?

Tomlinson regrets sacrificing Suella Braverman but feels sure (on no evidence) she would sacrifice herself to remove the risk of Kemi Badenoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Shabana Mahmood!

Impact is estimated between -£2 billion and £-10 billion (central - £10 billion).

This is just insane and why Shamima Begum was such a bad precedent. It's possible to be a bad person and to be British in Britain! We need to stop offloading our responsibilities on other countries which these people often have nothing to do with, all for the sake of a cheap public-baiting headline.
