    For some time I’ve thought we just vote for the least worst or we vote for someone who won’t win

    I think there is a big element of voting for the best of a bad bunch or at least a protest vote. Although go back to Tony Blair winning. He was young and charismatic and used that to get votes. I honestly believed in that election Labour were voted in more on his looks and words and less on what Labour would do for the country.

    Honestly! Connected to normal life, buying a £800,000 house and stealing £40,000 off working people. Doesn’t sound like the normal people I know.
    You have already started another post where you can write your list of reform voters<ok>

    I worked in local government then. The Blair government was great for service provision which gave a lot to communities. That side of them was amazing. As always getting too closely into bed with the USA was the biggest error. The migration I would stop is US corporations.

    I know you’re not one of them. She has had experiences that many MP’s haven’t had in their life.

    I know and she should have stayed on the path she was on.
    But for some reason once they get there the free goodies are to hard to resist.
    My mate probably had a100 bottles of Houses of Parliament whiskey in his under stairs cupboard, payed £10 a bottle for them,when I asked him why he wanted all them he said, because I can.

    There’s a culture that needs to change. No doubt about it. Sounds like Farage is up there with the worst according to today’s news. He needs to go.

    Raynor says this morning,
    Coming from a council home as a teenage mum and climbing to the top was the greatest honour of my life.
    Obviously not a great enough honour to stop you stealing £40,000 off the working class people you left behind though.
    Hopefully this may be a lesson to others with their snouts in the trough

    He doesn’t need to go anywhere, people just need to be convinced not to vote Reform, Labour or Tory, that would be a good start.

    Well if she goes and he’s doing a worse version of the same ….this could be a pivotal moment in tackling tax avoidance if we make it that, but I agree with your point. There are parties who deserve better coverage but sadly don’t have the enormous financial backing.

    As a friend once said " I don't care who the next PM is, it will just be another politician "

    She has taken her punishment.

    Farage is s as **** for clarification.

    Given Tice’s comments last night I hope none of the Reformers on here are on benefits. :) actually if Reform get power I hope they are.

    Thing is Hamas knew exactly what was going to happen as a result of October 7th.

    Hamas are despicable given the 7th October, but bombing civilians and starving kids has lost Israel any high ground it should have had, sadly.

    I'm of the belief that "most" politicians have their noses in the trough..she was dumb enough to get caught. The financial benefits to becoming an MP are are good as you can make it happen for you...some get away some don't

    Hamas made their incursion into Israel knowing that Israel would retaliate in the way they did. It was a strategy they were banking on to get support from the western world. And it’s worked. We now have certain western governments who are going to recognise Palestine, which is still being run by Hamas, a terrorist organisation.
    Do I think starving children is a good thing? Of course not, but Hamas, to achieve political ends, clearly do.

    As I have said what Hamas have done is despicable. Of course Isreal was going to retaliate as sadly in that part of the world it’s the only language most understand. However, bombing innocent civilians and starving kids is also despicable and Isreal only has itself to blame that countries are now reacting as they are.
