Age of Earth will be my guess.

They won’t want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it’s about 4 billion years old.

You can see what he’ll be like. Constantly trying to talk more than he would be allowed for his position, then claiming he is being silenced when he’s not allowed. If he got himself kicked out for behavior, he’d love it. His followers will lap it all up.

I think more Brexit than Truss, COVID and Russian’s war. Two of those are British specific and done to us by Conservative governments. It’s their fault.

What I wanted hasn’t been implemented.

I want Mixed Member PR (Germany and New Zealand have this), but with score/range voting instead.

Ah. Sorry

FPTP has to go, but the further right the government, the hard it is to push them for it. A right Labour is better odds then any Conservative flavor, and it’s not like the Conservatives are moving left right now.

Well done at retiring at 53!

There will literally be Tory trolls/bots pushing this narrative to split the Labour vote. Get the Tories out, then push Labour for PR, hard, to keep Tories out of unjust power.

It’s an entertainment channel, that happens to have “news” in it’s name. So not subject to news rules. So it can have Tory MPs as presenters interviewing other Tory MPs as guests.

That OK isn’t it? Not remotely dishonest and unbalanced…

They will get shutdown soon enough for this dishonest nasty stuff. Or, as they will say, “silenced by the woke main stream for telling the truth”. It’s kind of what they want.

I think it’s a step.

We also need to enforce existing news laws on any media outlet that calls itself “news”.

There is so much disinformation right now and there will probably be multiple solutions needed.

I think politics and political falsehoods, aren’t just by professional politicians. It’s part of wider issue of misinformation spreaders.

Obviously, but it’s an example of a lying agitator it wouldn’t deal with.

It would now, but he’s just been a bloody agitant for a number of years.

But what of those not elected or in public office? Farage for example. He stopped being a MEP and never has been elected or appointed since. But he is still out spouting lies.

I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.

I think in chasing those pulled to the crazy far right, the Tories are hemorrhaging anyone even vaguely centre.

The only way the Tories get into power is pulling in their crazier voters to the centre, where the bulk of everyone else is.

Be interesting to see. I agree. I think split won’t happen in the end and Reform will only take the most of far right. But it will be a while before the Tories are centre enough to win power again.

Yes, but I wonder how many of the “shy Tories” will now be “shy Reform”. Or how many who say they will vote for Reform will just vote as they always have. We’ll find out!

And bragged about it.

What concerns me is if they merge before the election.

The ballet papers have been printed. Yet one candidate would no longer be running. Is one regarded as wasted or both counted? Would those running the event remove the option when you sign? How the one nation Conservatives finally give up on their old party? Would their voters?
