The irony, things were even madder elsewhere. The Green party have lost the last plot they had and the right on poshos are freaking out. This is mad, but they same principle happened in Iran all those years ago

I don't blame your military. The lovel men from Iran thatr we've rolled out the red carpet for have caused this. We're a failed state in the late stage of making and its just so mortifying to see the establishment put us on this path

One of the number of things going around on X has been the UK benefits bill and the areas that have almost unnaturally large amounts of spending. There is a common theme

And the usual Govt lying is being found out again. They genuinely think they are being smart by lying about the Islamophobia definition was created.

Just days apart and the story is changing. Woeful.

A summary of this thread for anyone who wants to catch up

I ain't that old (yet). Cheeky **** 🤣

And because you all clearly love it

Pro Palestine supporters continue to make themselves relatable to everyone in the country and positively promote their cause.

Meanwhile, the new PM has had quite a few days. First off, his Govt want to change voting rules to remove the photo ID component. Why is it strange?

In March 2027, to access social media, we’ll need to provide photo ID "to protect the kids” or "counter disinformation" – whichever is the best excuse for the moment we’re in. Where else do we need ID over here?

• Pick up a parcel from a post office.

• Buy a bottle of wine from a shop.

• Pubs if you look under 21

• Etc.

Kind of smells off doesn't it?

The bigger issue that has come out is Burnham’s time as Manchester Mayor (King of the Norf) and his cosy relationship with the owners of Manchester City (UAE Royalty).  With the review of the football teams finances and apparent cheating of finance rules, some dirty laundry is being exposed that makes it appear that Burnham perhaps got too close the investors for his own good.  A more open media would be digging into this, but alas, its left to social media to do the digging.

Why does it stink?  The new waste of money Number 10 in the Norf is being built on land that Manchester Council (under his Mayoral tenure) sold to a UAE consortium in an alleged sweetheart price.  Its not the only item either – talk from some up there is there is other stuff, dirty enough to take him down.  So what has he done?

Distracted everyone by saying Russia influenced the Brexit debate.   Its catnip to Europhiles/FBPEs who willingly believe any and all conspiracies because they lost the argument. The real kicker is, he’s provided no evidence so far and it could be said he  sharing the very disinformation that his Govt want to ban. The below gives an idea of the how the debate was balanced - note the full court press the skeptics had to fight through

The man is hitting the reality of you can't run from your past and another year spent relitigating Brexit while the country is heading down the shiter helps no one. They need to move on
