The only thing worse than watching the US bomb yet another country is all those people pretending this is;
- A uniquely Trump thing
- Some kind of radical new low
Everything about this is 100% consistent with ever administration for the last 80 year. It's how the system works

It would seem (as we have all been saying) Starmer’s Labour government haven’t even tried to make things better. In fact they have made them worse; unless you’re one of the 1% or an MP

I now assume it’s because this is pretty much how quite a lot of important people behave, off camera, and that almost nobody thinks being a bastard to Diane Abbott is even bad: what’s really bad, is getting caught doing it.
Can anyone explain why a man who was sacked, just a few months ago, for sending messages like these, is now being treated as some kind of all-seeing political sage?

What kind of corrupt bastard government would deliberately hollow out their country to enrich and empower their own class of wealthy swine, at the public’s expense, meaning they no longer have the capacity to build and maintain essential products and services

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it
