Humour is subjective, so I can't tell you you're wrong. She's made a career in comedy so must have something some people like. What is it about her comedy you don't find funny?

Two things. I don't get why people watch their teams with such a pessimistic outlook, and also present their predictions as fact. You think that's what will happen, but have written it as a certainty. Sit down tonight wherever you chose to watch and try and be hopeful. We might fail but theres little point in assuming we will.

Reading the news of his death, I had completely forgotten Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Love that film.

I've not a fan of speaking ill of the dead, but also the people crying about someone giving a honest opinion on the type of person Anne Widdicombe was after her death seem to miss the point that she spent her life saying hurtful things about people, pursuing policies that would affect the most vulnerable in our society whilst they were alive. Calling Anne Widdecombe vile etc now doesn't hurt anyone, especially not Anne, she's dead. Her life's work made people's lives worse, maybe turn some of your energy in that direction.

I think calling him what I assume should be where those stars are is a bit much. He's not a serious pundit, and I get why he annoys people, but he seems like a nice guy and wouldn't be someone I addressed using a work that would be censored on her.

That's not how our parliamentary system works. Kier Starmer was only voted in by his constituency at the last election, so was Sunak, Truss Johnson, May, Cameron, Brown, Blair. I could go on. We vote in our MP, and the party with the most forms the government and they can elect a different leader when they see fit to do so.

Oh that i do agree with too. As I'd previously said, I'm not a fan, I just don't hate to guy like some people do. The immigration issue, whilst he has got it down, was calling for a sensible effective solution and he just tried to be Farage Lite on it. Farage supporter will never vote Starmer, they'll only vote Farage, so why chase that vote. Pull away from the divisive politics of the likes of Reform, don't lean towards it. But I did say previously, there were areas he needed to improve on, but I just don't think he's been a total disaster. The media do play their part though, as they refuse to acknowledge what he's achieved, but equally he's terrible at advertising what he's achieved.

Imo he's been on the ropes since day one because the media has had it in for him since day one. You can say you don't form your opinion from the Mail or GBNews but there's no denying our right leaning press lead the agenda in this country and they wanted him gone before he even got through the door of number 10.

As I said, not a big fan of his. He's a terrible communicator and there are areas he could have done better, but he hasn't been a disaster. Needed to be quicker and braver making big decisions, needed to stop trying to appease Reform voters on certain issues and I don't think he has a clear political vision, but he has achieved a lot of what he set out to do when he came into government, so he is not a disaster.

https://fullfact.org/government-tracker/ Clearly a disaster. Or GBNews and the Daily Mail said so it must be true. Not his biggest fan at all, I think he's a terrible communicator and there are areas he could have done better, but he's not been a disaster.

I don't think that's unpopular, I think it's a widely held view.
