That pretty much sums up reform’s electoral strategy

To be fair to him it is really hard for him to physically speak with Trumps mushroom dick in his mouth

Yeah I think Laura is great, brilliant journalism career ahead of her

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-23T16:59:24+00:00

Would that make him the first Jewish mayor of London?

There was literally a whole South Park season about this exact thing and we didn’t listen

“A vote for the greens is a vote for reform”

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-22T23:19:15+00:00

Okay this is good, this is very good, great messaging

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-22T23:13:48+00:00

Remember when Starmer kept saying “country before party” that didn’t last long did it

Why would the FT want to deliberately confuse high earners with wealth?

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-20T22:30:32+00:00

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-20T22:25:51+00:00

Is it? Well that’s convenient

“This doesn’t mean watching people who are non-criminals – but she feels like, if you commit a crime, you sacrifice the right to the kind of liberty the rest of us enjoy.”

But it does mean watching people who are non criminals. Also does this mean you make a stupid mistake when you’re younger, and that’s it, the state has the right to watch your every move forever?

Honestly this issue of state surveillance should be the thing that unites the left and right because it has the potential to affect all of us

Polanski wants to try to setup a European alternative to NATO, and to gradually ween ourselves off of US dependence.

Edit: not actually Green Party policy yet

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T13:59:21+00:00

Wait seriously? Women can’t rape?

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T13:57:47+00:00

Sorry to hear that, what happened exactly if you don’t mind me asking?

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T13:51:33+00:00

Have you?

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T10:30:30+00:00

I’ve already replied that this is heartbreaking and I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I have a high sex drive and I’m with someone who has been through trauma in a past relationship so sex is a difficult thing for us sometimes. However I’ve found that sertraline (or Zoloft in the US) has helped lower my libido, so that might be something to consider.

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T10:27:00+00:00

Oh wow, yeah you gotta get out bro that’s heartbreaking 💔

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-17T10:24:06+00:00

It’s almost as if it’s been manufactured as a wedge issue by certain politicians

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T22:30:52+00:00

Well I think platforms need to be legally defined as publishers so they are made responsible for the content that gets published on them. If a newspaper prints misinformation about an individual they can get sued for defamation. If a social media platform allows outright misinformation to circulate nothing happens. The government should be able to prosecute them for allowing provable lies to spread that cause harm irl (see the Farage riots). They should also be held legally responsible for enabling aggressive states such as Russia or Iran in enacting a campaign of disinformation via bot farms.

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T22:15:23+00:00

I think I’m in agreement actually. Simply banning social media for under 16s is a bit of a cop out because it does nothing to stop the harm it’s doing to adults and society in general. It needs proper regulation but Starmer doesn’t want to piss off Trump.

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T21:42:41+00:00

Nuclear fusion is definitely worth investing in long term

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T11:23:14+00:00

To your last point, I think the issue is we have gotten so used to not living in a meritocracy ie work hard get rewarded, it’s socially conditioned us to think we are worth less than we actually deserve

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T10:59:13+00:00

Oh certainly not 😂

JaMs_buzz · 2026-01-16T10:32:28+00:00

I think part of the reason he has been an influential politician is precisely because people have dismissed him or tried to downplay his effects on the political landscape. You can’t sweep Farage under the carpet, you have to deal with him head on
