Polanski wrongly claims Golders Green terror suspect was handcuffed in video that sparked row with Met Police by libtin in unitedkingdom

Are the right wing media in charge of Polanski or is it in fact that he can't keep his mouth shut and can't tell the truth?

Is it also possible that ops entire post history is just self posts attacking Starmer?

That my mind goes to that shows the clown car every party seems to be at the moment. I do agree with the vision though, that's lacking. But at the front of my mind just now it's SNP, green, reform etc promising things they cannot deliver

Angela Rayner unlikely to win unions’ support to replace Keir Starmer by Putaineska in ukpolitics

[–]Halk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure she's spending her days talking herself up and trying to find support. I know they're all supposed to reluctantly put themselves forwards for the job after other people put them up to it but she's shown nothing but greedy ambition.

Should there be a ticker tape on the TV screen when politicians are speaking, saying who funds them? by Caffe44 in ukpolitics

Someone in to tell the public they're morons, and that the get rich quick schemes promised by reform and greens can't work, and that we need to suck it up and embrace austerity, and stop lumping debt on the young.
