"Braverman is even harder to defend than Jenrick. She's a dishonest, divisive, dimwitted figure whose mistakes and oversights in government were second only to her stone cold commitment to always backing the most venal and corrupt. On the one hand, she's just about the right figure for Reform. On the other, I'm not sure Reform did themselves any favours in accepting her into the fold. Given her history, she could well end up deterring more voters than she attracts. " Spoken like someone who would never in a million years vote for Suella Braverman be she a Conservative or Reform MP. Or would never vote Conservative or Reform anyway. Which is your prerogative. But doesn’t really tell us very much. | |||

" What are you waffling on about? The OPs opening post (Titled 'Suella Joins Reform'), references 'rats jumping ship' FYI - The idiom 'like rats fleeing a sinking ship', used in reference to people abandoning an enterprise once it seems likely to fail, has been in regular use for over four hundred years. Not everything you don't agree with harkens back to Jackbooted Germany. | |||

"Reform are not a racist party,have a look at theyre chairman,must of fooled you then as you seem brain dead" It's notable how so many of you seem to have a real problem following basic logic. I can look over the fact that you can barely write. What's more concerning is that you can barely form a coherent argument. You do realise that 'low information folk' - the hard of thinking - are exactly the sort of people who Reform are aiming themselves at, yes? People who aren't the brightest tools in the toolbox. And as with Brexit, some very wealthy and very clever but devious people in the upper echelons of Reform are manipulating the common man. Pandering to their ignorance. Appealing to their prejudices. And it's oh so easy to do, as Orwell warned back in the 40s. But who needs Orwell when we've got MailOnline and Facebook, eh? | |||

"And you get to decide what constitutes 'language of 1930's Germany' do you? " The Nazis used rats to describe migrants (Jews and other groups they defined as racial enemies). Der Sturmer, the Nazi newspaper, regularly did this. Nazi propaganda films of the 40s also cross-cut images of migrants with images of rats. A useful tactic for Nazis because it then frames atrocities as mere 'pest control'. The fact that some of you are so ignorant of it is no excuse, but that ignorance certainly explains why you're perfect fodder for Reform. | |||

"I thought reform are supposed to be racist why is an Indian joining?" The migrant Indian diaspora has always been extremely mobile ... Excellent at reading which way the wind is blowing ... and then moving from their present host, onto one more likely to benefit their personal needs and fortunes. A tactical strategy that has worked very well for them too. | |||

"Reading some posts in this thread (and others)… I'm sadly reminded that… It is ok to disagree.

"The woman has moved jobs ! It's that simple. Thousand of people change jobs all the time for various reasons. What's the problem?" The 'moving jobs' of these people isnt the issue here. What is is that they were elected by voters of one party with a clear majority and so they should all be willing to put themselves up for a re election (via a by election) wearing their new rosettes. Richard Tice posted yesterday about their 'Magnificent 8'. Sorry to piss on your chips Dickie but 37.5% of those 8 aren't actually yours by right. | |||

In a general election probably not that many. Council elections can be a different story though again many vote for or against a party. To the horror of some on here I have voted Labour twice in council elections---once because he was the best candidate and once because the only alternative [an independent] was an obnoxious character. But back to this silly defector. People voted for her because of the party she represented. | |||

"Freeze frame Suella nuzzling into Nigel on the stage and just remember, these people could one day be running the country. I'll just leave that there folks!" Politics has always been an alternative showbiz career path for the physically unattractive. Just that in the past, they at least tended to come with the necessary skill sets to make a decent fist of whatever position they managed to attain in their political roles. The current crop has very little going for them, apart from blind ambition and the ability to roleplay. | |||

It's useful to racists because they can then protest against the racism charge. It's a well known phenomenon, but it fools no-one with half a brain..." It's also useful to those immigrants who are desperate to be assimilated. "Pulling Up The Ladder" is a well established custom among such communities. It's well described in the book "The Wandering Jews", a short non-fiction book Joseph Roth, about the plight of the Jews in the mid-1920s who, with other refugees and displaced persons in the aftermath of World War I & the Russian Revolution, had fled to the West from Lithuania, Poland and Russia. Roth writes about the way in which Jews already living in the West despised the new arrivals, and sought to distance themselves from them. "They sought shelter in cities and towns where most of them had never been and, unfortunately, where they were made despicably unwelcome." Being a phenomenon based on the psychology and motives of immigrants striving for acceptance within their host countries, it is found far more generally than than within Roth's specific examples. | |||

" I wonder if Starmer would have preferred putting a Black Widow Spider in his mouth rather than have to meet Trump. My sympathies to Starmer having to deal with him. The antivenom for Trump-bites has yet to be perfected. Fear not. There is a man with such a high IQ ... the doctors looked at the scans and tests, they were amazed, they just couldn't believe it ... who alongside his other jobs, researches medical treatment in his spare time. i think he may have a cure: "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. " | |||

No. Your injection of a comment about Starmer, in reply to a comment about - and indeed in a thread about - Braverman, was definitely not a concept in my head. It was right there in black and white. Whataboutery. As in: never mind Braverman. WHAT ABOUT STARMER??? Are you telling me to deny the evidence of my own senses? It seems to be a popular tactic nowadays. | |||

Merely holding up a mirror, and inviting you to observe what you see reflected back at you. Having common sense really helps when trying to grasp several examples at the same time ... and noticing significant relevant similarities. It's easy if you try. | |||

"I’ve always found it surprising in a community that has seen such oppression, that some people have such right wing views. As the politicians look to divide people further, some people seem to lack human decency and showing people empathy regardless of their gender or race." I've never really understood the link between sexuality and politics. Plus, there's many on here who will have never been oppressed by their sexuality | |||

"I thought reform are supposed to be racist why is an Indian joining? Diversity." Anyone opposing liberal or labour views is cast as racist as standard practice nowadays. Try not to make any sense of the statement. It’s so overused it’s not worth listening to. | |||

Your sexuality does not define your political views and vice versa. Whilst the extreme bigoted far-right may tend to be homophobic as well as all the other phobics, it does not always follow. You get gay right-wingers and homophobic left-wingers. " | |||
