Laurence Fox is a tw@t for sure, but for an elected member of Parliament to resort to such petty and nasty sniping is pretty depressing.

Polanski has said he will try and convince Putin to give up his nukes.
He is not a serious option. Utterly deluded.
The Greens and 'Your Party' are a joke. They will take some votes away from Labour/Lib Dems and give us more chance of a Reform government. Both will be a footnote when the next election is in the history books.

The mere mention of Polanski seems to have a few posters frothing at the mouth
All I said is he seems to be gaining some traction
I have never said I either agree with him or think he is a serious proposition, he is merely fighting the right wing populists with more robust language than really any other party leader we have seen in recent times, certainly to the left of the Tories
Whether people like that or not, it is gaining traction [Post edited 10 Nov 2025 0:11]

I don't really understand what Your Party are offer or what vacuum they are filling that the greens don't already fill
The Greens curiously seem to appeal as much to more eco-consciuous Tories as they do former Labour voters and thats in part why they seem to be appealing to parts of Suffolk that used to elect monkeys with blue rosettes so that is a slightly unusual development in Suffolk itself. I would expect the Greens to have a better chance than Labour in some parts of Suffolk. | |

You’ve neglected to state that he also mentioned that he thinks that it’s ‘highly unlikely’ that Putlin would negotiate on disarming but it’s worth a try? What’s wrong with that?
Nothing wrong at all with keeping the negotiations open. |  | | |

I guess that context doesn't fit the right leaning narrative that Polanski is a dangerous nut job rather than a rare genuinely left leaning party leader who thinks more of the same isn't really going to work for most people. |  |

You are underestimating Polanski's abilities.
If he could just get a face to face meeting with Putin he would be able to hypnotise him to give up his nukes.
Either that or make him grow a pair of massive knockers* so he can't reach the launch button.

Given the amount of racist abuse she gets online (including from him), I think it's fair game for her to give some back.
Worth bearing in mind that two days ago he tweeted (about her): "This foreigner has no right to wear the poppy. Or to sit in parliament, for that matter." |
Only the imaginary 'native Brits ' should be allowed to wear a poppy?

It's just so deluded. Like Corbyn waving his stop the war signs. It's all very noble in theory but in the real world its just not realistic.
Frankly it makes him look like an idiot. |  |

Just because you’re unable to view things differently it doesn’t make the other person an idiot.
It’s not deluded at all - first stop should be the negotiation table and then you u move on from there. As mentioned he even said that he thought it highly unlikely that Putlin would talk but it’s worth a shot. What’s wrong with that? | | | |

I just want a decent option people can unite behind to defeat Reform. I don't think he is it.
I think there is a real chance Reform get in. I hope tactical voting and our system of government stops them but I really fear for this country under Farage.
There seems to be a lot of Green policies which are half baked with no idea how to make it work. UBI for example, something I would be hugely in favour of IF the numbers work.
Much of it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. | |

START was negotiated post cold war at a time of new hope between the west and Russia and both sides were willing to engage in de-escalation. Sadly, those relations have regressed and i think START has pretty much gone out of the window now. | | | |

There's a few things about the dramatic setup that are not realistic, but still...yikes! | |

what's wrong with it is that it's a sound bite intended to avoid having to engage with the really difficult realities of a global politics. it's up there with corbyn wanting to abandon nato - it has no connection to the real world. |  |

I was pro-Greens till they came out with their beyond stupid, unthought-out policy of wanting to abolish the entire private rental sector, without a mention of how they would then house the (11 million iirc) people who would consequently become homeless. |  |

It's like their policies are designed in a vacuum with no outside forces.
Once you add in the rest of the world (countries) all pushing their own interests and the real life consequences of what they propose it's hard to take them seriously. | |

they seem to be working on the basis that if their ideological stance is blunt enough the details won't matter. the trouble is that their traditional green messaging and ability to push other parties into better environmental policies will get lost as they are written off as not being serious. | |
