give it a rest !! all the media does he knock him, never mention the positives. ypu never criticise regorm or farage tax avoidance on his clacton home didn’t declare 380000 pro loosening up rules on handguns wants an ICE type agency in uk couldnt defend our military against trump

Here, sales are soft, means they've sold 14 tickets nationwide.

Leaseholder in Basingstoke? This matters. Since being elected, I’ve been campaigning to end unfair ground rents. The Government has now acted. Ground rents capped at £250, new leasehold flats banned, and ground rent moving to zero over time.

Priti Patel explaining why she is likely to be the next Tory to join the Re-form conservative party.

Let's see how strong the lure of Westminster really is...

When did Andy change his mind? He was pretty adamant after he made a cock of his last attempt, around party conference time, that he was committed to being the best Manchester of Manchester that he could.

Instead of plotting and backstabbing, can all Labour MP's start talking about the excellent policies delivered or on track. They know 14 years of Tory misrule can't be fixed within 19 months, they know the media want Labour out, Starmer isn't the enemy, fight back, ignore the polls and the media.

OK. Thinking of a side-hustle because Mrs P and I will soon be retired and UK pensions are... what they are. Which of these products would interest you if I were to open an Etsy shop? They would be made by yours truly using beeswax from my bee hives (where possible). Would also be doing ski wax.

The check-in area didn’t make eye contact or wear bright enough clothing…

Where is Farage. Where is his denouncement of Trump’s lies regarding British troops?

"They stayed a little back, off the front lines"

Labour Party HQ staffers said to be concerned by sudden appearance of Claudia Winkleman, roaming the building and erecting portraits of senior MPs

So polite! Followed.

Have you 🫵🏼signed yet?

A year ago today, Boris Johnson, Farage, Braverman, Truss, and a host of Trump’s British fans were all in Washington for Trump’s second inauguration... Starmer wasn't invited - and it was treated like a massive Diss - remember that? Because we should.

This is where a full carriage singsong comes in most handy. Unfortunately you have to be a bit pissed to start one and so does everyone else.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Is it going to be 30p Lee again? He's going to need lots of help writing all those letters.

Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

Do as I repost, not as I post. Sorry John. #FromNowOn

#UkrainianView UKRAINE’S TACTICAL EDGE IS MAKING RUSSIANS UNEASY Ukraine has developed a tactical position that is making even the hardest milbloggers concerned. Partly because it’s used Russias systemic weakness against them. Ukraine keeps its long range artillery far behind the lines - most of it

Slightly diminish a game: War Hamster.

Do you know how many Labour MPs are now on Bluesky? It's now over 300 out of the 400 or so MPs! And many do post! I've created starter packs and a list! Firstly the list: bsky.app/profile/did:... 1/5

A start. Now make it a cascade.

Pay attention please Lisa Nandy

I agree. Particularly for foreign registered companies: it would stop the intellectual property wheeze, to shift profits. We should tax the oligarch tech-bro companies on turnover, in particular.

What will the government do? Turn another blind eye or prove that royal kids are more important than yours?

Given Farage’s commitment to emulate Trump as much as possible. Which countries would Farage choose to bomb to deflect from being held accountable do you think? Worth considering if you want him as PM.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Happy new year!

So much bigotry is the outer expression of inner self-loathing. Contented people don't need scapegoats.

It sounds like the perfect time to start the conversation. Hardly anyone is happier at the result and we don't need to feel cowed into accepting the status quo by their malignance. Let's have a grown up debate this time and take our settled will (if so be it) to the application process.

I do.

Merry Christmas Bluesky Correspondents. Many thanks for all your news and interactions during the year.

So the majority of us want to rejoin the EU, but reform is being tagged as most likely to win the next GE?! Only in Britain with our crazy first past the post voting system...

It's the anniversary of my mother's death. Today, she would have had the opportunity to study maths to a high level. The country had other priorities when she left school in 1941. Her generation broke the door down for my generation of baby boomers. Shame so many are ungrateful.

Puccini and Toscanini had a stormy friendship. One Christmas, Puccini sent Toscanini a panettone, forgetting they had fallen out. Remembering later, he sent a telegram “PANETTONE SENT BY MISTAKE. PUCCINI”. He received a telegram back “PANETTONE EATEN BY MISTAKE. TOSCANINI”! 😂

THE EU FINANCE DEAL FOR UKRAINE IS A MAJOR VICTORY I’ve seen a lot of criticism about the deal, that it wasn’t enough and it was a chicken out over the Russian assets held in Belgium. That’s all nonsense and disingenuous, as is the allegation that the EU is ‘taxing its own people’ to pay the loan.

This is the point.

Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Keir Starmer has authorised an "urgent" review about the extent of foreign interference in British politics, as he prepares to change the law to tighten donation rules. About f*cking time. It's been urgent for years.

Give kindness for Christmas.

I like the last paragraph of this news report on the death of a US Navy fireman in 1945: Let us pray that we may prove worthy of the sacrifices made by our fighting men. How's that going?

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.
