@mrjamesob.bsky.social This would be an interesting excercise - can we put in examples in each of these areas of the '4 Ps' Venn Diagram?

He spends his nights rubbing his thighs, hoping for this to happen!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social here's one for you... Siblings buy a property in London & The Times posts the article along the lines of 'If we can do it then so can you & if you can't it's because YOU failed' ...hidden in the article is that their parents gave them £80k! www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Billionaires gained a combined $304,000,000,000 YESTERDAY! Not in the decade, year, month or even week - YESTERDAY! That's the equivalent of giving every living soul in the UK a cheque for $4,400. This was the greatest heist / extraction of wealth in human history!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social listening to yesterday's Brexit conversation. Completely agree that EU won't consider until it's 'dead', but if we ignore it or avoid it, it won't die. We, Starmer & Labour need to kill it by pushing the message of it's failure, again & again until is stone cold dead.

And here we have it, the CPAC now blatantly advertising / promoting an unconstitutional 3rd Presidential Term for Trump, along with the clear imagery of Trump as ruler (rather than elected leader).

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I think we've found out where the lady on the table next to you at Jury Service got her information from...

Who won’t be involved in any of this? That’s right, old Blighty! We can thank Nigel “Putin’s my favourite politician” Farage & everyone who championed Brexit for this. Was there ever a greater act of self-harm on a national scale? We are a tiny island, rendered insignificant on the world stage.

Listening to @lewisgoodall.com on @lbc.co.uk this morning. Reading a text ‘laughing at the left’ I wonder how vacuous this guy’s life is that (a) he spends 3hrs a day listening to LBC at 10am to ‘laugh at lefties’ and (b) is happy with things costing more because of tariffs. Odd mindset!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I haven't heard mention yet about SureStart or Youth Clubs in this discussion. As others have said, children without opportunities turn to gangs who provide them, but SureStart helped families before this happened & Clubs gave kids a focus outside of school hours. 1/2

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Starmer has to (against his 'political nature') is to go on the attack. Highlight all of his claims & the truth behind them. Put in the required legislation regarding online platform regulations, political donations etc. The ONLY thing he can do is attack with the truth.

“No, you won’t get any youth mobility. Because even though I won easily… I still feel I have to do what the people who lost think.”

A potentially significant milestone has been passed very quietly.

@lewisgoodall.com created a rather fitting comparison between the tone on BlueSky vs ‘the other place’. Exact same post, ‘slightly’ different responses…

We can 'add' her to the Reform Party UK PLC brain-trust.

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right" Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16

@kemibadenochmp.bsky.social any comment?

The notion of ‘having to earn a living’ is one of the most dangerous in human existence. It implies that you don’t deserve to live, that you aren’t enough as you are.

We can also ask about their views on two-tiered justice. Within a week he’s had the 34 felonies re: payoff indefinitely delayed & now both the attempted coup & classified documents cases are to be dropped. Justice is far from blind & is now nothing more than a fallacy.

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social if employeers don't engaging with DWP / Jobcentre Plus how are potential employees supposed to benefit from them? Surely an onus must be on bringing employers around who can accept temporary, 'incosistent' work due to the 'incosistent' nature of people's illnesses?

You argue the merits of legislation & vote based on what it is calling for at that time. Then if it’s revisited you do the same, if you then feel the changes are unacceptable, you vote against it. You don’t vote against something because of what it might end up looking like at some future point.

Staggering levels of ignorance from someone who, somehow, has access to some of the most important offices in this country.

Don’t know if #FollowBackFriday is a thing on here but I’m all for it. If you despaired at the US election result, cheered at the UK election but wish Labour would be…more Labour, if you’re fearful of our inability to tackle the climate crisis, then give me a follow and I’ll send one back! #FBF

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is the story PMQ merry-go-round allowed under the condition that all takers do their best Badenoch impressions?

We, a relative minnow (compared to our view of ourselves) left the world’s largest trading bloc…for reasons. We rejected the economic protections that membership inherently gave us. Now we’re essentially crossing our fingers that our biggest trading partner isn’t going to slap tariffs on us! Yay!

Seeing the protests today & the vitriol surrounding the budget, I’ve got a few depressing conclusions: - we’re all thick as a submarine door! We’ve forgotten the last 14yrs inside of 5 months - we all want change but nobody wants TO change - nobody wants to pay for ANYTHING - we’re all FUCKED!

The classic right wing hypocrisy; you’re absolutely free to say anything you want with complete impunity, just so long as it’s something I agree with entirely. If not, then you’re just a product of the Tofu-eating liberal elite wokerati.

“We’re desperate to derail this case and others by poisoning public opinion thereby confecting a crisis and further undermining the justice system to spread division” is what I think you meant to say, Peanut.

Badenoch arriving is the clearest evidence yet of a change in the centre of gravity online. I know some people will hate it. But if you want to replace X, it's going to involve the leader of the opposition being here.

glad to be here!

The need for a daily ‘two minutes of hate’ is intensely intoxicating, to the point where, even after victory after victory, they still actively chase people to shout down.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear…

@mrjamesob.bsky.social does the Governer of the Bank of England perhaps think that we could still use the Sports Club via a series of day passes to ease the pain of #Brexit?

One of the biggest shifts in housing policy over the past 50 years: we went from subsiding bricks and mortar, to subsidising landlords

RFK nominated by #Trump for Health Secretary… I don’t think they had “Make easily preventable diseases Great Again” on any of their merch!

Is there anything more crass, more typical of the country that we live in right now? The King, a man who never wanted for anything material, coming to open a Food Bank of all things! “Here you are peasants, come get your gruel” Surprised he’s not charging rent!

Amazing that Trump, Musk etc all lean heavily to the Pizzagate-esque conspiracy theories, vowing to fight paedophiles & child abusers, yet the Cabinet already houses with an adjudicated rapist & self-boasted sexual predator & an AG nominees under investigation for trafficking & child exploitation!

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social My word the callers that you get are just astounding! I won’t say brave for the reasons you gave, but their clarity & articulation of these appalling crimes is harrowing but incredible to hear.

£10 says Allister Heath’s never read the book!

We need to do a Presidential Cabinet sweepstakes for the worst possible options for the remaining positions!

Welcome fellow ex-x-er!

Grim stuff. "Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels" www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

Good to see more and more outlets fleeing 'Truth Social Lite'.

What a horrific #PMQs by Kemi Badenoch! - Starmer can’t use notes but she can? - Starmer can answer questions and she just ignores it - She wants all the benefits of government raising money, but none of the responsibility of raising the money It’s not even post-grad politics, it’s barely A-Level!

My god it’s just horrific!

Everyone, everywhere, always seems to find ways to spend more on military needs. But what about the war on climate change? Without this we’re all f*cked! We need a global war economy now. #COP29 #ClimateCrisis

'bring back youth clubs' always sounds a feeble answer to eg knife crime/teen mental health especially if you are of the generation where that meant a pool table + some panda pops but it's not the clubs, it's the qualified youth workers - don't get the love SureStart (RIP etc) did but just as key

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the trouble is that, with the likes of Starmer, can we see the political will to overcome the ‘nanny state’ pushers and, like you say, tax the bad things out of existence & push the good things. And then can we push others to do the same? #ClimateCrisis #COP29

The department of GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY…has two bosses!
