If I was a gambling man I would be placing a bet on our next PM being Farage.
Christ
Don’t think he is eligible. What with being dead.
Not sure we have any laws allowing for zombies.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Three members of the new cabinet have told the BBC that if Labour does not keep its promises, voters will back populists instead.Chancellor Rachel Reeves suggested it would be an “institutional failure” if they could not get things done.Interviewed for a Panorama special, the chancellor, foreign secretary and health secretary all warned separately that the public has lost faith in mainstream politics and that if they fail, voters will turn toward the far-left or far-right.Ms Reeves said that if Labour doesn’t stick to its word, "it will be seen as sort of an institutional failing, that mainstream politics doesn’t deliver.
"The new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, said members of the cabinet had to preserve their connections to working class communities and the constituencies they represent.
"If we don’t, as we’re seeing in other parts of the world, in democracies, the populists - whether from the far-right or the far-left - will offer a different vision.
Now the foreign secretary, who had previously been very critical of Donald Trump, he said he would “embrace the constraint” of being an office-holder where he could no longer speak freely like a backbencher.The programme also captures the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, joking with a group of builders that Ms Reeves is the “moneybags” and she is “tightfisted”.Reeves responds: "I’m a Yorkshire MP… We have a reputation in Yorkshire of being good with money.
"Moving into Downing Street at the weekend, the chancellor said it was a “big change” for her whole family, but that her husband had been unpacking most of the boxes so far.
All three cabinet ministers know only too well the risks if they do not keep their promises.The health secretary admits he is concerned about being able to stick to the targets he has set for 2025.
The original article contains 585 words, the summary contains 298 words. Saved 49%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
the chancellor, foreign secretary and health secretary all warned separately that the public has lost faith in mainstream politics and that if they fail, voters will turn toward the far-left or far-right.
Oh no, not the far-left!
The far-left and the far-right are two cheeks of the same arse.
They’re both extremists, let’s not pretend one is better than the other.
Let’s definitely pretend one is better than the other.
One seeks an egalitarian future where people’s needs are met and power imbalances are kept in check.
The other seeks strict hierarchy where only those at the tops needs are met, by those at the bottom. And power is kept firmly in the hands of those who wield it.
If your view of far left comes from the likes of the USSR or China, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Well at least you haven’t made it massively simplistic. 🤦
Grins. So your saying. “Centerists are arse holes.”
