My family had that settee. It was brown with orange stripes. ~Very comfortable~

Interesting interview between Sydney Blumenthal & Nina Burleigh in "Court of History". Explaining the ins and outs of Russ Vought & his ex-wife. Do we know if Farage networks with these people? Signed: Concerned Citizen @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAB6...

A great chance to have your say on a building that has been left to go to rack & ruin I will be submitting a #Macclesfield building which was set up to house Ancient Egyptian artefacts by a benevolent benefactor. Money was given to the Council to maintain it in perpetuity, but which is now missing

Farage: epic grifter

Congratulations to @lucympowell.bsky.social - elected as new Deputy Leader. Commiserations to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social who’ll continue to champion education policy around the Cabinet table.

Is there something called "pre-traumatic stress disorder"? Thinking about Farage becoming PM gives me the creeps. Good on the Welsh for slapping him and his ragged mob down. @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Deep into the article on BBC site, it looks like they want to sell off assets too. How will that help ... long term?

Finally caught up with a saved film. "Storyville, Librarians". Librarians on the front line .. and the hatred they encounter from some sections of the US communities they work in. A very interesting watch, especially as Reform Councillor(s) have been found to be banning some books in Kent.

Odd .. this woman gives off a Liz Truss vibe. Gawd help us.

This moron who ripped us out of Europe - arguably for his own political ends, could have done more for schools during covid. What about putting air filters in all schools so they could operate without closure? No .. they put money into the hands of their cronies instead.

There are the intangibles. I was on a call with standards colleagues from Europe. IMO, they have moved on. I feel they have done so with regret about our direction, but inevitably they are bound to move on, and without us .. as it used to be So sad @bylinetimes.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I listened in the car last week when the programme went out. I had to turn it off. Mason was obnoxious IMHO.

The enclosed is about the US, but given the content, and Michael Wolff's concern about how things are moving there, I wonder if we should be more awake here in UK. Farage is arguably the T***p representative in UK @bylinetimes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfBx...

Is it my imagination ... or is Uncle Nigel looking a bit tired and tarnished?

One picture a muppet holding a puppet. The other Rod Hull and Emu

Badenoch has just said at the Tory Conference ... that it was "them that did it". OMG

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOpulent Mycenae, Greece. This Bronze Age city would have represented the height of opulence at the time, as attested by the golden grave goods unearthed there. 📷 #photography #travelphotography #ancienthistory #greece

Listening to Badenoch's speech on @lbc.co.uk , I am reminded of the episode on Dallas (1980s soap opera) where in the previous series they had killed off Bobby Ewing. Bobby came back .. as the "killing" had only been a dream By the same analogy, the last Conservative Govts were only a dream

Is the combatants leader, the man in the chicken outfit? @meidastouch.com

What would they prefer instead? Anglo-Saxon studies.

Spot on by Rafael What were the Tories thinking when they put her in charge? I am not, and never will be a Conservative, but I feel I know more about what they (should) stand for .. than she does @rafaelbehr.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ventriloquism for Dummies?

By this logic, if the Tories cease to exist ... she wouldn't have a job.

You have heard of post-traumatic stress, is there such a thing as pre-traumatic stress? Feeling queasy at the thought of Reform becoming the next governing party.

The agenda for their upcoming conference has a session about how can they rebuild. Attending is Robert Jenrick.

Surely those assets can be seized.

The future for Britain ... if it elects the company named Reform to run our Government? @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social @ledbydonkeys.org @mrjamesob.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If the the goods procured could "seriously harm or kill patients", shouldn't these people go to jail? Clearly people who had no idea about medical safety given a lucrative contract. Govt oversight was shocking and perhaps criminal too She is still in the Lords www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

It makes my blood run cold thinking that this awful man could represent our country on the world stage as prime minister. What is worse is that he could be in charge of our finances and military Creatives ... let's see it in video format @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Mainstream media BBC, SKY etc need to pin down Farage about this whole Brexit issue. If not independent channels such as @bylinetimes.bsky.social & other independent voices @ledbydonkeys.org have to get it out there and into the mainstream. @lbc.co.uk had a golden opportunity last week, but blew it.

The behaviour of these people does not bode well for the upcoming football world cup.

They are here .... to disturb and distract us We need to bring into the light those who are pulling their strings .... before the truth disappears @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social @ledbydonkeys.org @ottoenglish.bsky.social

They are at the front end ... to distract and disturb us It is important for us to look behind these people and bring into the light those who are pulling their strings ... before truth finally disappears @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social @ledbydonkeys.org

An interesting video from the David Pakman Show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nus...

Isn't that what they want?

Just watched the programme on catch up. THERE HAS TO BE A RECKONING FOR THESE PEOPLE. UK Government - shift gear, put more resources in and investigate properly. @ukgovernment.bsky.social

Have they (the company called Reform) done this - at this time - to distract the LibDem conference? If so what gambit will they pull for the Labour Party Conference? @libdems.org.uk @labourlist.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Hello .. anyone from the Labour party on here

Mine went to the tip. Load of rubbish.

Superb

Is that the Bell Beaker culture, Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon Viking or Norman heritage? Or perhaps something else. Let's ask @thehistoryguy.bsky.social

Orangatan orange. A new shade from Dulux.

What a shameless pantomime. All that was missing was the horse. At least we didn't parade any squeaky tanks.

No ... no ... no ... no ... no

Does the Labour Party have a creative team ... or what? Put it in videos.

Wow .. what a superb video. Zack's creative team are spot on. Bring on the videos showing Farage's world to PUT IT IN PLAIN SIGHT. @josiah.writes.news @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social @matthew-wright.bsky.social

The results from the last election are interesting. Kruger only won by a 4K+ majority. He got 16K+ votes. The Reform Candidate got nearly 8K votes. Stephen Talbot is likely miffed. What do Kruger's Conservative voters think? @mrjamesob.bsky.social @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

It will be China ... surely. Quick spin on Amazon and that seems to be the case.

And the country that "designed in" health and education for all, and would not countenance the idea of selling off our national assets such as water, utilities and transport. The country that would be repulsed by those who would harm others for having different beliefs or views.

OK ... but small boats are the problem! www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
