"Opposition parties need a leader, not just a platform, and here are my thoughts as to who will inspire and lead America into a true golden age of prosperity for all" writes Guy Anthony Ayres The same is true for the UK as @bearlypolitics.co.uk wrote...

Nothing as yet on the BBC News site about the US 'No Kings' rallies today. Hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting & not a word from our national broadcaster. ITV is carrying the story. BBC not fit for purpose when it's deliberately covering up momentous events such as these.

More of this please, you MPs!

Great moments in Conservative Party History. Part 38 of an occasional series. The romantic photo of 2019 capturing the moment when Prime Minister Boris Johnson showed his wife Carrie his spaffing machine whilst proposing to her on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral. ❤️

These people will never face any kind of consequences. But we will. And for a very long time. Engage your brain and then engage your rage towards the problem, not the distraction.

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

Congratulations to everyone who gave out and proudly displayed EU Flags at tonight's Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall! Sady, following today's Idiot Rally in Central London, our own national flag is no longer a symbol of unity and pride. But this one is! 🇪🇺

"Often identified as the first gastronomic novel, the Belly of Paris is more than a foodie reverie, it’s a political cri de coeur. In page after page thick with luscious descriptions of cabbages, turbots, and boudin noirs, he strives to convey the moral ambiguity of the French cult of gastronomy."

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

Welcome to Schroedinger's files. Where everyone, the dogs and the cats knew they existed until certain names were found therein...and now we're told they don't exist.

When will the BBC grasp that it is their own conduct that is accelerating these losses. The latest one being to swivel even more towards the ReFuk team & voters even though their policies don’t withstand a cold hard look.

July 11, 1975 Archaeologists working near the ancient Chinese city of Xian uncovered a huge collection of 6,000 terracotta warriors. They were built to guard the tomb of an ancient emperor. I’m fascinated by the terracotta warriors. What a monumental task. #China #Xian #Archaeology #History

And we are constantly told we are spending far too much on welfare, what a lot of bollocks.

Turning my newly picked gooseberries into a crumble while listening to VW's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is probably about as English as you can get.

More schools like this - bravo 👏👏👏

9 years ago tonight, I was in the Blackheath Army Cadet centre watching the votes come in ... as a Remain observer in the EU referendum. Few nights in my life have ever been so utterly depressing and I don't think I've ever really looked at my country or fellow citizens in quite the same way.

Interesting: Despite the relentlessly negative media coverage, most people in the UK want to stay in the European Convention on Human Rights👇 🔗 yougov.co.uk/topics/inter... via @yougov.co.uk #ECHR #OurRightsAndFreedoms

If you document a protest which is 99.9% peaceful and 0.1% violent and you only show the violence that isn’t journalism it’s propaganda.

Things my brain comes up with when I'm supposed to be working.

It's a US poll - but I suspect the figures align roughly with opinion in UK. Figure like Tate might have a pernicious influence on a small percentage of young men but many more think he's a weirdo misogynist walnut in a condom.
