Braverman urges Tories to embrace Nigel Farage

http://archive.today/2024.06.09-204525/https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/suella-braverman-urges-tories-to-embrace-nigel-farage-0ggdnr2ql (archived)

#Braverman has urged the Conservatives to embrace Nigel #Farage, as senior Tories begin discussing the future of the party in the wake of a torrid few days for Rishi #Sunak.
The former home secretary said that it was time to “unite the right” and that there was “not much difference” between Farage’s policies and the Tories’.

Truss then Farage - she will never learn.

The UK has 3 partially devolved components and 1 which is 100% controlled by Westminster.

Policies for England will inevitably impact on devolved areas in NI, Scotland and Wales because the UK isn't a union but a centralised unitary state.

But posting reports based solely on English statistics, structures or public sector performance that are devolved elsewhere and labelled as for the "UK" or "Britain" is in effect inaccurate and misleading.

Please try to respect reality.

"Starmer’s naïve endorsement of “wealth creation” in a recent interview displays a shocking lack of the basic social scientific awareness that any credible Prime Minister will need if they are to tackle the fundamental problems that the nation [sic] faces."

"Stephen Flynn accused Labour of paying “little attention to the north east of [#Scotland] after shadow "Scottish" secretary Ian Murray announced proposals for an “offshore skills passport” – something already in development in #Scotland."

“... Labour pay so little attention to the north east that they don’t even seem to know that the Scottish Government is already funding the development of a skills passport."

"The [#BBC posted] five articles highlighted under General Election coverage on its website and news app, collected under the header “leader profiles”.

"These articles profiled Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Labour leader Keir Starmer, LibDem leader Ed Davey, Reform leader Nigel Farage, and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth."

Guess which party leader has been deliberately omitted?

Just been helping an elderly relative with their PC. Windows 10.

"What's CoPilot?" they ask.

The f*ckers have incorporated it into Bing. I can't get rid of it, even if I change the default search engine and restart the PC.

If it's on my PC when I get home I'm taking it off line permanently and using it as a dumb terminal.

"The future Labour government’s greatest source of weakness is its leader. Since his election to the party’s leadership in 2020, #Starmer has proven himself to have a dishonesty almost unrivalled in modern politics. We must never forget the almost immediate reneging on campaign pledges or his denial of making comments in support of the Israeli government’s “right” to cut off power and aid into #Gaza."

If Nigel Farage doesn't encourage you to support Scottish independence then you should probably just move down to englandshire to be with the rest of the flegshaggers. You won't be englandshire because the flegshaggers will always be 'engerlish' but there are many more shop doorways to sleep in. Not sure about Buckfast though? 🤔

Does Scotland’s vote actually mean anything?

MadeyeTheCarnaptious, 14 days ago to Scotland

"In a system without proportional representation, politics is indeed often the choice of the lesser of two evils. But as the space between the two [parties] shrinks, people might begin to feel that – as Ralph Nader once said – “if you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less”."

That pinpoints the rot at the heart of Westminster politics.

Fortunately we can reject both parties in #Scotland.

“The Labour Party’s decision to support the Conservative government amidst ongoing humanitarian crises and war crimes is a shocking betrayal of our core values.

“The Labour Party we have dedicated over four decades to now stands unrecognisable.

“The party’s impending victory at the next election underscores the influence of powerful lobbies over our policies, rendering our voices and values irrelevant."

If I read one more post or boosted "report" referring to "UK" or "British" rivers flowing with untreated shite thanks to the corruption and criminal incompetence of "British" water companies I'm going to get very scunnered.

IT'S ENGLISH RIVERS FULL OF ENGLISH SHITE.

IT'S PRIVATISED ENGLISH WATER COMPANIES OPERATING IN ENGLAND.

Thank you for your attention.

The Labour Party, selecting General Election candidates, should be wary of ignoring the voters of 2019 - 10,295,912 who voted Labour, “for the many, not the few.” The House of Commons arithmetic disguises the fact that more people voted against Conservatives than for them. If the party does not welcome Corbyn or Abbott, how much of a home will it be for the voters it needs? Please don’t throw out the baby with the bath water, the UK needs change! #ukpolitics #labour #KierStarmer #DianeAbbott

The Royal Air Force is flying reconnaissance and intelligence gathering missions over #Gaza in support of the #IDF, and has been since the outset of the Israeli assault.

What does the RAF know about the attack on #Rafah at the weekend? Is the RAF complicit in war crimes?

STV is a damn disgrace.

Three unionists ranged against the SNP in its proposed debate - with the pro-independence Scottish Greens and Alba excluded.

This is blatant pro-unionist bias in favour of three stooges from three branch offices that aren't even parties registered in their own right, unlike the Scottish Greens and Alba.

THE STV LINE UP DOES NOT REFLECT THE REALITY OF SCOTLAND OR SCOTTISH POLITICS.

So Junior Doctors will be striking just before the election having lost patience with the lack of any progress in pay negotiations, to match the reassurances the were given when they paused previous strike action.

Rishi Sunak claims this looks 'politically motivated'; only in the sense that he & his familiars have failed to deliver any repair of doctors' standard of living.

This is part of Tory engineered health crisis that itself is politically motivated!
