@lemmy.worldNah the BLM protests that Farage mentioned. Not too sure which specific ones he is chattin about, but the George Floyd protests would have been her in 2020.
Wasn't she Home Secretary during these protests? If so, it sounds like she is just defending her own track record.
I wonder whether this is the reason Sunak called the election early - try and avoid the problems catching up while still in power.
Considering their progressive stance towards hiring prisoners and providing them skills, I am personally quite happy with the appointment.
Their last two Labour MPs not only were kicked out in scandal, but also ran in this election splitting the vote. It looks like the Lib Dems also got a significant vote share which has helped the Tories.
Still had them in 2019 in North Wales. They served the cider with squash to make them a bit more tolerable :D
Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.
Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don't think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.
I think this is down to FPTP really.
I would love to vote Plaid or Green, but I would rather prevent the climate change-denying, homophobic, racist Tory from keeping his safe seat by voting Labour.
I believe this is England only. Health (which I believe this will fall under) is a devolved matter and the other governments are thankfully a bit more sane.
