wonder how long it will take for the russian bots to start the 'burnham is the worst PM we have ever had' campaign? wouldnt surprise me if they start before he's actually in power.

Wow. The Bridgetbot is ”working class” now is she?



From what I understand of her career she went straight from the Labour Party Society at Oxford to a job at the then Labour Party dominated Sunderland Council, and then she went to work for mummy’s charity. Before being selected for a (back then) safe seat as the least worst option on an all woman short list. She doesn’t appear to have ever produced anything that can be objectively measured in her entire working life.

I thought Starmer would’ve went off to enjoy his PM pension instead of taking to the backbenches, why does he think he’ll get a warmer reception as an MP 🤔

Unless he actually sells Britain to Donald Trump I can’t see even Burnham being worse than Truss. Or Johnson.
Never say never! There’s already reports he’s set to reverse certain decisions that’s going to cost us millions

Sunak did the same didn’t he? Carried on as an MP instead of resigning to spend more time with his money.

I sort of respect a former PM going to the backbenches to just do their job as an MP for XX for a while. Then after whenever the next election is going on to the highly paid speaking circuit they all end up on.

They mentioned over the weekend he was discussing his decision to step down with his family. I assume he was negotiating with his wife how much time he could spend indoors, she’s probably as sick of him as the rest of us 😅

A retired husband is a wife’s full time job 😂

Not sure how I feel about this, keen to read opinions...? On one hand it feels quite 1894 or at least the early stages of moving in that direction. On the other hand what we see on social media is controlled by private companies anyway and I have seen people be progressively more radicalised in both directions by getting their news from echo chambers and "political commentators" (who are all grifters, imo) and are incapable of applying critical thought

Seeing as a foreign blog posing as a news site was responsible for the Southport killer misinformation, I'll accept this.

The problem is algorithms have been embedded and people trust a guy on Facebook more than the BBC.

The problem is people will still fill in the gaps with nonsense. Unless they change the way they report things. People don’t trust MSM at the best of times, I think if they’re explicitly approved by Govt the risk is that people who don’t trust the Govt will just trust these sources even less
