This leadership shit, even now, is still not as important as the fact that FIVE MILLION QUID HAS BEEN PAID TO THE LEADER OF ONE OF OUR BIGGEST POLITICAL PARTIES

Ah ... I see we're on day 4322 of the Downing Street feeding frenzy... Absolutely nobody is interested.

Just sent out my free midweek update. Little changed directly between the US and Iran (Iran is still stringing Trump along) but overall the US position is weakening. The US bombing campaign was less effective than Trump and Hegseth boasted, making US escalation… open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Isnt it so predictable that if you attempt to engage with certain lgbti people about some issue or other .. that within 5 minutes someone’s added you to a spurious block list .. soooo predictable .. oh well ..

I prefer this place to the other one, but I don't have many followers here yet. Help me with the odd share if you like what I do. Ta.

Proud to be one of the signatories. Standing with colleagues across the country who agree this is absolutely not the time for a leadership contest. The last 48 hours have been a gift to our opponents. Time to get behind the Prime Minister and focus on delivery in the next parliamentary session.

Please remember that the purpose of the OSA was not child safety, it was to create a captive market for the AV and content scanning sectors, and sales pitches were what shaped the law, as I wrote here. internet.exchangepoint.tech/the-dog-that... They want their ROI and they want it now.

Those of you with very long memories may recall the scare story in the red tops, maybe eight or so years ago, which claimed that children under 10 were using the names of Nando's hot sauces as texting code for various sexual acts. That story placement? That was the vendor, drumming up publicity.

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Yes I agree, although he should have just taken a secret £5m bung. Then no one would talk about it.

Some of the worst people in this country know exactly what they will do with a majority a quarter of that size, and they will not waste a moment doing it. The rest of us can only stand watching as you effectively hand it all over to them.

he’s so asleep he you can almost see cartoon Zs leaving his mouth

Trump is napping in the Oval Office again

Nuff said !🤭😆😅🤣😂

This is an AMAZING piece of reporting. And this table is mind-boggling:

it’s such shibboleth of modern politics to blame politicians for failing town centres when the primary driver is - surely - all of us buying more and more stuff online

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Actually sick pay rules HAVE changed recently. To the benefit of workers. Not that you’d know that because it’s hasn’t really been reported. Strange.

If you want a bespoke battlefield tour in the Arnhem-Nijmegen are, give me a call. I know some things about Market Garden. 😉

Your principles and your values mean precisely nothing if you're willing to abandon them to avoid upsetting bigots.

I don’t believe that most voters are OK with this. A moral failing of the British media that these four reprobates were not made (in)famous enough to be stopped.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

This old goblin, with pathetic fluff for hair, cannot convince anyone, least of all himself, that russia is going to be okay. He was forced to shout about 'winning' over a parade devoid of military equipment after begging Ukraine not to bomb it and eventually buying his safety with 1,000

The response we’ve had to this interview has been extraordinary. Inspirational. Joyous. Uplifting. Listen back at @bbcsounds.bsky.social for a real shot in the arm

Like many things it's as simple as "he who pays the piper calls the tune". The media are owned by people who have a vested interest in keeping the right wing in power, so that they can pay no taxes.

This, from @pkellner.bsky.social, is what a lot of centre-left voters should now consider.

I’d just like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported us in the elections. Not just the gullible fuckwits, but the ignorant morons too and all the racist bellends. Thank you all so much.

People say there is no goodness in the world any more, but it turns out that crypto-billionaire in Thailand really did care about improving our bin collections.

Oh well, lots of people have now got 3 years to find out just how badly a bunch of corrupt Faragist halfwits can screw up the chance to actually do something difficult.

Obviously, you can still vote against the Heath Government at this Scottish Parliamentary election if you want? :/

At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are… Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

✔️ Lifting a record number of children out of poverty ✔️ Free breakfast clubs in schools ✔️ Accessible, affordable childcare ✔️ Free school meals for more children Change like that only comes with a vote for Labour 🌹

If you really want change, maybe don't vote for a rich twat in yellow trousers standing on a street he could afford to buy from the change out of his last handout from a billionaire.

I don't care when or where this was or what weird sport was being played, I love it!

I know many of us are scunnered with what the mainstream parties are offering, but translating that into a decision not to vote risks granting Reform UK a bigger platform. So as polls open my only plea today is that you vote against Reform UK in the most effective way possible in your constituency.

Can't pay your medical bills?. Health insurance expired?. Tough. US 'health care'. Coming our way with Reform.
