Vote for the bin, not for the rubbish...
Top commenters
“Make your vote Count, put it in the Bin!”
“Vote for the bin, clean up politics.”
“May I suggest that overseas people with criminal convictions pertaining to financial crimes should not be permitted to donate to political parties.”
“Hes furious? Of course, it's the first time he has ever got any push back. The media has fellated him for years.”
“People of Clacton have a clear choice: vote for an absolute clown, who doesn't care about Clacton and who is only in this for himself... or vote for Count Binface.”
“On the first point about Burnhams communication. We've just observed the "traditional lobby/media" effectively destroy a perfectly boring prime minister, and didn't have the pathway to counteract the narrative once it had begun, (nor the ability to communicate at all really). By establishing from the start, that you have your own methods of disseminating policy, you regain control of the narrative. It's what Trump did, and now the MSM in the US just has to play catch up to his 2am rage tweets or whatever. I don't think the media lobby has done Labour any favours, and binning that off isn't surprising at all.”
“Petition for Ian to be on Hot Ones.”
“Thank goodness for The Eye.”
“So true the comment about the loss of local newspapers and demise of local journalists holding councils to account”
“For what its worth i am sick of finance milking the economy generally and then feeding said loot back in via right wing extremism ...thankyou private eye for exposing the con as ever”
“Andrew is correct. I'm an American and I envy a nation that scrutinizes a dodgy 5,800 pound scandal. Keep up the good work, UK! May you avoid becoming like us.”
“Shouldn't we just call it klepto currency, because that is what it's all about.”
“His supporters knew what he was, and voted for him because of it. They don't mind having their own lives damaged as long as he also harms people they hate.”
“"People aren't really that interested in the bin collections" - sir, I live in Birmingham xD”
“There are some crimes that should disqualify you from holding any elected position.”
“The other data centre problem is that their serveurs are mopping up supplies of memory chips and SSDs, causing the price of the these elements to the public to have increased hugely, with knock on effect on the price of computers and related equipment.”
“That's a better studio. Well done.”
“One of the biggest issues with the lobby is that they are the default attendees at a press conference and so ask questions about Westminster rather than the policy. If there's a health policy announcement, have a health journalist go and scrutinise the actual policy.”
“the whole argument of this even things up shows just why it's an issue! 2024 Labour received £64.76million from unions, who collectively had a little over 6million members, so that's a little over £10.70 per member. The aim of that was to improve working law/legislation/conditions for those 6million+ people (a little under 10% of the UK population, or 17% of the working population) plus wider all workers. Harborne and Delo donated £72million for the purposes of improving legislation and conditions for Harborne and Delo (0.0000029% of the UK population, or 0.0000058% of the working population) to make more money. They couldn't give two s#its about you, me, workers or anyone else in this country!”
“To lose one Welsh Reform leader may be considered a misfortune. To lose two… begins to look as though there’s something about the party that attracts criminals.”
“The American historian Heather Cox Richardson is doing an amazing job of painting the whole picture of what is going on with the Trump administration. Honestly the scale of the corruption and the attempts to create a dictatorship are mind boggling. Her "letters from an American' is well worth following. It shows how fragile a democracy can be when you elect a morally corrupt and openly racist leader.”
“One for the appealing things about social media over mainstream journalism is that what you think of as hard hitting questions, we find cliché and so very dull. “Are you going to resign?” to any cabinet minister in trouble. “Early general election?” after any change in policy or leadership. “How are you going to pay for it?” for any spending plan but notably not for tax cuts. “Do you agree with the president?” after any stupid outburst. And the worst bit is no matter what they say, they’ll be asked the same question in the next interview, the next day, maybe even by the same journalist. Dull dull dull. An interesting social media strategy has to have at least some variety, and that’s what they’re getting right by spending time on that instead of yet another “where’s your mandate? Early genny lex?””
“Helen Lewis is a wonderful communicator.”
“£5000 is indeed a tiny sum in the world of absolute corruption and hypocrisy (otherwise known as local government) unless of course if you were a post office worker when it was more than enough to destroy your life.”
