We have a right wing media largely owned and run by Rupert Murdoch, why are you surprised?

Right wing media 🤔,you think so ??.We obviously look at things from a differing perspective, I wasn’t aware I expressed an element of surprise.

That what you use?? 
I’m happy to use my own judgement, it’s seen me ok over the years. Particularly the last 2-3.

Yet you voted for the party responsible for the last 2-3 years in the first place.

Great judgement that 😂

That’s a decent attempt at a derail but anyway yeah  I did as it happens ( and unless there’s a valid alternative will again)as did the majority 🤷‍♂️it’s called democracy. As for the actions of the last 2-3 yrs as I’ve said dozens of times the opposition parties called for earlier more stringent and long lasting restrictions in regards that one particular topic.

The judgement in that particular reply was as im presuming you are aware a reference to being able to look at a media source and make my own mind up. Try the conservative twins on you tube, that’s worth a watch. They are most definitely right wing. Back to the media, I’ve watched msm tear into the current government relentlessly for a good few years now as is the way of such things, it seems strange as soon as they switch to scrutiny of Starmer it’s because they are “right wing”

Well said. 

 

People forget very quickly that the alternative to the Conservatives in 2019 was either Jeremy Corbyn or for those of us unfortunate enough, Wee Nippy Nicola.

The MSM have been tearing into the current lot because they are a bunch of blatantly corrupt, inept morons or have you not noticed?

They are tearing into Starmer because he is equally low grade.

You keep banging the drum about what the opposition called for during Covid, unfortunately the opposition are in no position to make any decisions as they weren’t  in government, the party you voted for was, and they made all the decisions. 
They got the Brexit vote sorted then made a pigs ear of it, led us  through the Covid farce making millions for themselves whilst people died and companies went to the wall. One of the big issues with the Brexit vote was immigration controlling our borders, how they handling that?

And don’t regurgitate any claptrap about the current lot not wanting to upset the loony left. 
The British have been masters of the English Channel for a 1000 years, hammered both French and Spanish Armada on more than one occasion, yet the government, big wigs in Whitehall, MoD and the Admiralty are powerless because liberal lefty vegan Karen who works  down Holland and Barratt actually call the shots, total balls. 
The current lot are raking in millions of pounds of tax payers money, replacing its previous Covid cash cow, they could deal the rubber boats issue in a phone call but chose not too because they are raking it in.

At least previous Tory governments have had the decency to keep the economy buoyant, they haven’t even done that.

And your going to put a big ‘X’ on the ballot paper for these chumps next time?

😳Easy now,  Simple solution is to vote for you think will do the best job at the next election 👍. I did like your “ masters of the channel”  outburst mind. As an aside I guess you’ve seen how good it’s going up here in Scotland lately with the socially progressive high tax big spend SNP ??. 

Dear Keir, the polls are tightening and frankly, people are worried. You have to raise your game

A Labour win still seems likely, but where’s the narrative? As the Tories shift further right...

Right wing media eh 😞🤣

Labour votes ensure all Covid measures pass despite huge Tory rebellion – LabourList

Labour has voted with ministers on measures to combat the spread of Covid...

I see people often using the lame  “ but Labour or the opposition were not in power” excuse, the point is the voting records are easily viewed to show the way they supported all restrictions etc such as in the article attached, it gives ample documented evidence as to how they would have handled things and what they helped sustain.
