Juggling With Eggs

Come on , this is the kind of endorsement you’ve been working towards for months now and you really pushed for it this past week…you should feel so proud that all your hard work to cozy up to a fascist hellbent on destroying democracy, expanding their territory, defunding sciences, trashing the environment and only interested in furthering the rights of white, straight, male tech bros has paid off.

I await to see how improves on Neville Chamberlain’s classic ‘peace in our time’.

Not long to wait now…

If ’s attempts to currie favour with after her trip to to meet with the non-secret members of the illuminati are anything to go by, it will be a statement of epic revisionist proportions…I hope I’m proved wrong:

The Guardian · UK should learn from Donald Trump’s ‘boosterism’, Rachel Reeves saysBy Guardian staff reporter

@JugglingWithEggs

An endorsement from is the kiss of death.

@Nigel_Purchase

It will be with metropolitan supporters and a fair chunk of those that lent him their vote in places like rural to achieve a large but puddle deep on the ground majority…sadly still thinks he’s re-playing . He only talks to Leavers, hence his opinion pieces only ever appearing in the Daily Mail or Sun.

@JugglingWithEggs @Nigel_Purchase

In case you’re wondering why rural voters wouldn’t be Leavers, it was the casual Lib Dem vote that Starmer inadvertently picked up on.

@JugglingWithEggs

Frankly, it is cretinous in the extreme to trust or the . The sooner the UK gets close to Europe, the better. It doesn't have to be full membership, but access to the customs union plus a security treaty are essential. And maybe it's time Labour changed the electoral system, either to the Australian system (ranked choice vote), or the Scottish. A small shift in 2029 could deliver govt to "Reform"

@Nigel_Purchase @JugglingWithEggs

Given that Labour look like they're going to get destroyed in the next general election, surely it would make sense ahead of time, and to lessen the damage to them, to radically change the electoral system. Unless, of course, Labour are more than happy to play their part as a placeholder government and then, when the time comes, hand over the keys to the UK to fascists, i.e. Reform, and their oligarch controllers

@JugglingWithEggs

Starmers face, desperately trying to hold it all in,

Trumps face, just let it all fly out baby!

@JugglingWithEggs
it's an endorsement he deserves.
This will have consequences. I saw an article saying Trump's position will push the UK closer to the EU. I'm not so sure, the establishment seem to be falling over themselves to remind Trump of the 'special relationship'. The BBC reporting the government are requesting the monarchy invite him to a state banquet. Trump loves this sort of thing and the only reason he'll keep ties with the UK, that and his golf course.

@JugglingWithEggs
I think that trump will make the UK choose - us or them.
Starmer will favour trump over the EU, which will be a terrible mistake.

@Sarahw @JugglingWithEggs it is the American plan, divide and split off the perceived threats to US business. And the EU is the biggest, so having prised the UK out, no way he wants them to cosy back up.

@Thebratdragon @Sarahw

has stubbornly shut down debate on what the real outcomes of Brexit have been for years. Claims of keeping his ‘powder dry’ no longer wash. Any appeasement of Trump in the coming days and weeks will be catastrophic for our relations with the EU.

@JugglingWithEggs @Sarahw

the level of economic self harm from two parties touting business as their priority is astonishing.

The politicians in the UK repeatedly keep shooting themselves in the foot while claiming it is a benefit.

@Thebratdragon @JugglingWithEggs @Sarahw Ever since Thatcher the business focus of the UK government is almost entirely on large corporations. Our SMEs are largely neglected unlike some of our European neighbours. Oddly many UK SME owners don't seem to realise this.

@LJClements8
If you've only ever worked in UK, you don't have anything to compare to

@Thebratdragon @JugglingWithEggs @Sarahw

@econads @Thebratdragon @JugglingWithEggs @Sarahw You don't have to work somewhere to learn about how countries function. I've not worked in Germany, but have read about the Mittelstand and how SMEs are considered important to the German economy for instance.

@LJClements8 @Thebratdragon @JugglingWithEggs @Sarahw
Yeah but I mean most people don't really *get* a thing until they've experienced it. You think your way is just the way it is, and you don't really even realise sometimes that you thought that until you experience something different.

Edit: or you think you know, but you don't internalise it.
