That’s some 5D political chess theory you’re playing there

Minister for Common Sense turns to standup comedy during hustings

You have the gift

By this logic the Swiss Peoples Party, Fidesz and the Brothers of Italy are centrists Of course there’s also the chance your definition is incorrect

Well you were never getting the sock portfolio

Turn Chelmsley Wood into a concentration Camp for the knuckledraggeratti and repurpose the Rwanda deal for overflow purposes

No, I'm not referring to Horseshoe Theory And as for Fish Hook theory.... I reject the linear left / right nonsense anyway

Can’t think of anything he’s offering that would be zero rated for VAT

Seems like he was was doing it with some long haired beardy guy too

You know that tweet by Laurence Fox about Reform standing down that was a bit… odd. Well here’s something else To save you looking it up… Andrea Jenkins, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Marco Longhi and Karl McCartney

Far Right and Far Left aren’t opposite ends of a scale

Could be put in a number of threads but this is the most appropriate I think Farage on Laura K. Not withstanding the question of why he’s on again and this is isn’t a post in support of him (obvs) First Question… (not verbatim) ”You’ve decided to run and many people are saying you running will let Kier Starmer in, why do you want Labour to win?” What? That is literally a Tory attack line. Would that question be asked to any other party? Why are you standing and won’t that let Labour in? That is absolutely shocking. Edit: and then Mel Stride is on and he repeats the line (which is ok) but qualifies it with “and you yourself even asked the question”

And this Tory Councillor really wasn’t reading the room was he…

A few more Tory candidate nutters mentioned in this article

For those that are sceptical about how important tactical voting will be… an article about it and how both Labour and the LibDems are organising in Hertfordshire. The parallels with 1997 where tactical voting gave us The Portillo Moment are strong and you’d have to suspect in the internet age will make it much more prevalent this time around. Guardian

There are wild rumours out there despondent… quitting… begging for cash

You are exactly the same, that’s the point, you have biases, we all do. But in that post you quoted, the poster acknowledged theirs and that is the difference. Your post was an attempt to devalue someone’s opinion because it was biased. Imagine saying to someone your opinion has less validity because you know of people who have actual lived experience. Absolutely mental thing to say.

No you as good as said his opinion was invalid

Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds? You aren't allowed to express an opinion on something because … you know someone affected. What? A jury is a VERY specific thing, with very specific rules

With respect, everyone has biases, the people that have the problem are the ones that don’t acknowledge it.

I fully intend to be on a pub crawl by 11am on the Friday

Oh I’m in. Me and the missus both booked he day off on the Friday

Here’s the grift… it’s a limited company you dinwits What are they getting in return for their £25? Not any influence on policy and I trust 20% is going to the exchequer
