Nigel Farrage’s party is almost certainly far right compared to the status quo.
its not about 13 seats. They got more than half the vote share the conservatives had. If the conservatives wanna win that voteshare back, they are gonna need to move even further right, which is worrying.
I’m not talking about SNP loosing seats but about reform winning seats.
And I’m talking about the prospects of the citizens of the united kingdom, not a political structure.
The center (slight left leaning) party won by a landslide because everyone was fed up with the right wing party who’d been in charge for 14 years.
The far-right party went from 0 to 13 seats in a single election (think the MAGA of england basically). Since the center-right party lost so bad, people are scared the far right party will have more influence on the right and ultimately lead to the center right party either merging with the far right party or being more radical to “meet them”.
One could make the parallels to when Macron won the election with a centrist coalition a couple years ago, but in the process heavily weakened the center right party, which ultimately lead to the rise of the far right.
Ignoring that though. The center-(left) government will be much better than the government we had before.
Reform 4th biggest party surpassing the SNP. Terrible news for the long term prospects of the country.
Although in the medium term, this labour majority will be a breath of fresh air.
Realistically it would be harris or newsom, and they are both as unpopular as biden. Obviously they are mentally sharper but have other baggage.
It gets even better
In the footage, the PM told two schoolboys: “I’m a Coke addict. A total Coke addict.”
After a brief pause, he clarifies: “Coca-Cola addict. Just for the record. Just to be totally clear. I am a Coca-Cola addict. I have seven fillings to show for it.”
Yo nice to meet you I have v. severe ME/CFS from a covid infection a couple years ago.

In Long Covid, Covid-19 RNA persistence and T-Cell activation found up to two years after infection.
It’s because that twitter account is a far right troll.
I posted a tweet a couple months ago that got thousands of likes about Long Covid and his reply was the top reply calling long covid fake and saying it was “long retard”.
Fuck me then. I’m extremely disabled by chronic illness and hope that a miracle drug is found is literally teh only reason I’m still alive.
If you want me to help out, I’m gonna need a more mobile friendly design. I can’t use laptop due to disability.
France. Also she dropped out.
C’est plein de PS et EELV. Ils disent qu’ils sont que contre LFI, en réalité ils sont contre toute la gauche.

Is this community anarcho primitivist?
I made a post with an anarcho primitivist view, and most people disagreed (which is okay), but the large majority of them seemed to not know much about anarcho primitivism or be anarcho primitivist?
Thoughts on COVID?
I can’t help but think if we didn’t live in such a dense agrarian techno-industrial globalised world a pandemic like this would never have happened. It only spread quickly because of extreme globalisation. COVID has lead to so much preventable disability and death.
Edit: Maybe I have a different definition of anaracho primitivism to you all but I’m reading through the lense of James C Scott’s Against the Grain, and the problems with the agricultural revolution.

Before the pandemic, Lucy Keighley ran a gym, worked as a personal trainer and went on gruelling, exhilarating runs. But after three and a half years of illness, she isn’t sure she will ever recover
> I was incredibly strong and fit,” says Lucy Keighley. And she looks it, in the photo she is showing me, taken a few years ago. She is with her best friend, Lorna; they have just completed a 15-mile race on the North York Moors. “It was a brutal race,” she says. “But it was great. I was happy.” Today, although it’s quite dark in the room (she doesn’t get on well with bright light), I can see a tear rolling down her cheek. “I don’t know if I’m ever going to get back there.”
> In the most recent findings by the Office for National Statistics, released in April, an estimated 2 million people in England and Scotland (3.3% of the population) self-reported experiencing long Covid, meaning symptoms that continued for more than four weeks after infection, although many reported their symptoms had lasted two years or longer. Of those, about 1.5 million felt their day-to-day activities were affected, while 381,000 said their day-to‑day activities were “limited a lot”. Worldwide, at least 65 million people are estimated to have long Covid.
