Jenrick is toast now. He’s got no chance. Anyway, have Labour had anything other than a white male leading them, yet?
I've got a horrible feeling he's going to win, so I hope you are right and I am wrong. None of them were worthy candidates but if I had to pick one it was Cleverly, but his voters weren't so cleverly when it came to a stitch up, just demonstrating how bad the Tories are.
Don't see the point in getting a new leader for the Tories they're done out here for a long time. Pointless And you've got the dregs of the dregs left to choose from Cleverly ffs
The membership seem to be all for Kemi. They see her as ‘progressive’. All 4 candidates were ****e, if they had someone decent they’d be back in at the next election judging by how much ground they’ve already gained on Labour in just a few month.
I'll be retired come the next election....so i'll be voting for whoever looks after my pension...oh and reinstates my winter fuel allowance.
Hmm. I thought that about Labour in 2019 and that Starmer would be like Kinnock was a few decades ago—a transitional leader (a bit like all the United managers since SAF). With Trump back in the White House—possibly for life—and a new era of an authoritarian New Dark Age dominated by a MAGA US in axis with Russia and China, the UK will shift rightwards again just to fit in. You watch. More gloom and doom.
Many of his supporters - including Bannon - have suggested it. He has a compliant SCOTUS that has already said that while in office a president is above the law, and can't even be prosecuted afterwards for acts they committed when they were in office. I refer back to Hitler in 1933 again, when Von Papen said 'We own him now' - thinking that they could control Hitler in much the same way as the Heritage Foundation, the authors of Project 2025 think they control Trump - they don't: Stone and Bannon do. A year later, Hitler was made Chancellor for life, completely overturning all the promises he had made before gaining power. And it's all about to happen again. “For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.” ― Bertolt Brecht
You realise he has been president before right? And he did none of this........ Utter hyperbolic nonsense. He will become president, enact a bunch of policies that wont get reported on, say some funny/stupid things that will piss off snowflakes, be a dick on X, then after 4 years he will leave office.
You WHAT!?!??!!! He was caught trying to overturn the election in Georgia (and God knows how many more swing states that he lost that wasn't recorded). His lawyers libelled the makers of the voting machines and organised a hate mob to ruin the lives of ordinary election vote counters that he didn't like simply because of the colour of their skin. But mostly - he whipped up a mob to try and stop the certification of the election, inciting them to attack the capitol building and execute the Speaker and his own ****ing Vice President. All of this he was found guilty of by the House, but not by the required two-thirds majority to be impeached. And this is without the newly released evidence by prosecuter Jack Smith in his latest indictment that, gained by use of Trump's own communications, unequivocally proves that he not only knew all along that he'd lost the election, but that he also knew exactly what he asking the rioting mob to achieve on Jan 6th. The idea that he won't try any of this again (or indeed try it if he narrowly loses this time around in November, let alone in 2028 if/when he stands again) is naive at best.
No he questioned the Georgia result, and he did it in a stupid way, as he does a lot and some right wing militant nut jobs took it as incitement, as they do a lot. The capitol building! Trump emplored the National guard to be there on the day, and was turned away. Again, he didnt incite ****, he said stupid things, and ******s took it as incitement, and yes, there were more than a few FBI plants in that crowd who did more inciting than Trump did. He isnt going to try to become America's Fuhrer ffs! And he wouldnt last 10 minutes if he tried. Trump is a billionaire who is used to getting his own way, and when he didnt get his own way in the last election he threw a tantrum because he is not used to losing and he is an egomaniac. FFS its not like he locked himself with in the oval office with an automatic rifle, strapped with C4 and the secret service had to drag him out kicking and screaming!
If by "intelligent" you mean, "fear mongering ,conspiracy theorising ultra left wing asshat" then I am happy to disappoint you. I would say its funny, but its BS like this that prompted ****ing morons to try kill Trump, and in doing so, shoot innocent bystanders. It's all fun and games until an 8 year old child is standing in a pool of her fathers blood in a field during a rally. Trump is about as much danger to democracy as a wet fart. He is misogynistic, narcissistic and a has an ego the size of the mariana trench, (That could also describe half of Americas previous presidents) but he isnt going to be taking over America as some New age Fuhrer and leading the world into a fascistic apocalypse....so wind ya necks in ffs.
I'd never heard of Project 25 until just now, strange world, it's like I keep hearing Kamala is black, what's that Project 24?
Don't remember any of America's previous presidents being sooooo stupid as to advocate standing under bright lights and drinking bleach as Covid-19 protection ... He's a complete uber twat ... and only clever lawyers are keeping him out of jail ...at this point.
