    Politics and religion are two different things and should be kept separate IMO. Though as an atheist I would say that.

    Starmer is the worst Mp at reading the room ever. I see Ian T's favourite Richard Burgeon has announced he is not supporting. So has Clive Lewis! So has Nadi Whittome and interestingly Graham Stringer........one of the MPs that may provide the vacancy in Manchester for Burnham!

    Next round of polling will be interesting to say the least. Somehow this weeks had seen a very slight blip upwards for Labour!

    A manifesto of half baked trumpian ideology based on a tissue of with unworkable unfunded policies. Their manifesto isn't fit for arsewipe.

    They are framing this mandatory digital I'd as a way to combat illegal immigration. I personally think they are using illegal immigration as a tool in the hope of the population being more excepting of mandatory digital Id

    Depressing but its a very volatile amount.

    FPTP is completely broken now, it was never built for the current environment.

    Labour shouldnt have a majority on the vote they recieved.

    Reform should be nowhere near that close with 27%.

    All it takes is for the Tories, Labour or both to regain 3-4% in 3.5 years and it completely alters the picture.

    Farce system that will one day deliver a government that 3/4 people detest from the outset, not a stable way of running the country.

    Arrest me for knowing my rights? Good luck with that! The whole interaction would of course been recorded on my phone for when I sue the local plod in court for false arrest and battery when they put hands on me for there fabricated reason for arrest.

    Recorded or not I used to walk home with someone who was of your opinion. maybe more, maybe less determined to voice his rights and every time it got to the point of 'just tell him your name and address so we can go home for god's sake."

    They basically say to you "we can get this done here or at the station....your choice" Not a lot has changed. the tweet police and silent prayer police basically say the same. you're not arrested, you are accompanying them to the station to give your statement....what Iif I refuse to accompany you?.... then you'll be arrested, sir!

    ID cards will not change this a jot, but equally they are not at all needed either for the reasons given.
