The infrastructure for digital id is already in place, they’ll probably call it something else and do it anyway, whoever is in govt

No, we aren’t.
The way our constituency system works, which rewards concentrated pockets of popularity (think Lib Dems in 2024) doesn’t suit Reform at all. When you combine their wide but shallow support with the lack of experience/local activists, their current polling is nowhere near high enough to win a majority.
Factor in a long, bruising election campaign and there’s not a hope in hell of them winning. They’ll come second in the majority of seats they stand in and will almost certainly facilitate another Labour government (though probably a minority, propped up by the Lib Dems).

But this country is fucking depressing
The only conclusion I can come to is starmer doesn’t care if he and labour are re elected, he’s got his priorities and they’re defence budget [tick] , doing the bidding of USA and Israel [tick] , digital ID [work in progress, tbc]
‘The government has dropped plans requiring workers to sign up to a new digital ID system in order to prove their right to work in the UK.’
It was blatantly going to leave us open to a cyber attack or cock up of some kind. That’s just the current level of competence.
For me it is crazy like that it’s still the primary social media tentacle of professional politicians, journos, etc given it is literally and demonstrably the propaganda tool of an evil elite.

Was ten times more depressing with the tories in charge. People have short memories.

Not saying it wasn’t - but it’s still shit. Anything got better since for you?
Certainly got worse for me.
I’ll be voting green.
And here we go again - fuck this place I just want to get off or rewind to like 2012
It’s going well 
Trump references the “Golden Dome” defence system
The only Golden Dome is the phallic tip on his head.

He really is trying to isolate the USA. I know so many people now who have absolutely no desire to visit the country anymore. It’s truly unfathomable the amount of damage he has done to the reputation of a country and it’s nation. Maddeningly he and his cult following are convinced they are doing the right thing. China and Russia just ring for more popcorn.
They’ve got 14 years of shit to undo. The tories decimated the foundations of this country & visible change isn’t going to happen overnight.
As far as I can see they are quietly going about some good things and behaving like a somewhat normal government instead of some celebrity fuelled blunder filled shite.

I think Starmer has plans, but he can’t always carry all his MPs with him, and he has to pull back or tone down - as with digital ID.
It’s insane. It’s proven co-opted like you say propaganda machine. Even left wing media still clings to it
I heard some crazy shit about grok too, some dnb producer (who is a bit dodgy anyway) got chatting to it about music production, grok then suggested they collab and started sending him stems for a track called Leftie Meltdown, and other similar stuff
Propaganda factory x 8

It’s all kicking off in Iran - thousands killed in the protests. I’m really surprised there’s not been more reaction on social media
Last I saw Trumped had thanked them for not hanging 800 protesters… so I guess he doesn’t want to invade them anymore? It’s hard to keep up.

He shat it in the final hours when he was told he’d lose the last of any backing against impeachment by the republicans for getting the US involved in another Middle East war
nice to know though that again it’s nothing to do with saving lives but staying in power long enough to avoid jail or being outed by the Epstein files
