While it still says “twitter.com” in the SSL certificate, that’s still it’s name. It is still called Twitter.

There’s literally no way to know what a Labour government will be like. All we know about Starmer is that he’s prepared to lie and say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get power.

Was he lying to the left to get selected? Or is he lying to the right now to get elected?

🤷

Even to whatever extent they have described any policies at all, they’re probably just lies.

Still. The mystery prize will indeed be better than yet more crazed Tories. I suspect just not all that different.

@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.

If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.

In the first term of a Labour government they will maybe be a bit less hostile towards the EU but they won’t be re-joining or anything. They’ll have no mandate to do so since they worry putting it in a manefesto would alienate their red-wall voters.

As it currently looks Labour won’t do much of anything at all. Continue tory spending plans, refuse to raise any taxes, not rebuild any schools, not make any changes which may affect the social order or reform capitalism in any way.

Expect 4 years of calm with almost nothing happening. Which in itself will be quite a relief.

@Oneeightnine The only horrific thing he has to do is look like he’ll lose the election.

For what it’s worth, I too have no confidence that Sunak will win the election, thank goodness.

Those submitting letters to the committee now probably never liked Sunak in the first place, some may have even submitted them on day one when they were just angry at him ousting BoJo.

Of course they do, Labour will be the ones passing the laws in a couple of years and they’ve shown under their current leadership they are no threat to established interests and will do nothing to change the order of things and since the party has lost so many members it needs the money.
