Um...

Fonts are woke.

I didn't know that Dan was on Bluesky. Superb speech!

Nominative determinism or AI journalism?

He's going to completely unravel during a General Election campaign, isn't he? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's a chicken soup kind of a day.

So are the right-wing press, Badenoch, Farage and Chris Mason going to apologise to Rachel Reeves? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can the right wing press please decide whether the economy is down the pan, or whether it's going to do better than predicted? It can't be both at the same time.

Easy to see who on this platform has a 2 million quid plus house!

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Oh, John...

Widely-published "progressive commentators" on this platform are letting their anti-Labour partisan bias show today. Some of the commentary on the budget is so churlish it's unreal. Like Owen Jones but with extra chin-stroking.

BBC political correspondents looking crestfallen, if not devastated, that the budget has been largely well received.

I'm always here for Ralph's photos. So atmospheric.

Ummm… OK?

A councillor in the ward of Paulsgrove where I was a councillor for nine years. An area of high deprivation where a lot of people will be working long hours for low wages. Reform councillors are not exactly hiding their contempt for those they have been elected to represent.

And so the "outriders" start their defence of Johnson and the Tories. In the "Newspaper of record" no less. This is history being rewritten, not Cummings bs.

Lib Dem Labour moderate Full fat Corbynite MP Green A bit peripatetic is Lloyd.

The basic problem with progressive politics is that hyper-engaged people who hold those politics dear think that enough people are engaged and certain enough to make their politics win. The real world is much less certain.

This site has similar failings as X, which I left because of the owner and the extremism and racism he encouraged. A complete lack of perspective and proportion is the common thread.

This place is hilarious. So many highly politically engaged, hand-wringing middle class “progressives” in denial about where the new political centre-ground is, and why Labour need to occupy it to stop a Reform government. Need to touch grass.

My National Insurance record starts when I was 15 and worked in a factory during school holidays. I did a paper round at 13.

It’s long been the case that UK-born older folks’ jewellery could be “seized” to pay for social care. Many other benefits have maximum asset criteria.

Recently there's been a coordinated effort by some to talk down London, because it suits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world. If, like me, you love London, then my message is this:

Now’s the time for “this is how it is” direct media appearances from senior ministers and Starmer.

Until I find out that those polished stones have been gleaned from the River Avon, I don’t believe a word of it…

Wait… this is the same bloke who did a “fire and rehire” on thousands of heating technicians? I wonder why I start off highly sceptical of this intervention… www.bbc.com/news/article...

They don't make Tories like Lord Patton (and Lord Heseltine) any more. And out democracy and country suffers because of this.

FREEDOM!!!! After 6 whole days of limited duties and being careful around people. Just in time to go away for a week. But the latest strains drag out... go carefully out there folks.

Welcoming Vera to our family. First time I've grown a succulent. Hoping that I get conditions right.

Hero. Wishing Samir a speedy recovery. Thoughts and prayers with Farage et al. in these difficult times following the death of their racist narrative.

This is the kind of post I'm on Bluesky for!

Bloke who gets paid 25k an hour as a brand ambassador thinks that out young folk are not worth ten pounds an hour.

Can we now put this "breeding" thing to bed?

"Employer buys chairs for office-based employees to sit on"

The broadcast news media - entirely cut-off from the real world and dependent on the right wing press and vox pops with pensioners to understand the country they report on - has decided we're all racist xenophobes and must not be offended.

It’s taken 15 months and the good stuff is creeping out. Labours private school tax is delivering, inflation staying stable/high(ish)- not going up, Gilts are going down, Rayner is ‘back’, children are being prioritised and workers and renters being looked after 👏👏👏 Labour

💯 right from Sarah.

Shut the fuck up liberal. Give me another $20bn.

The problem with Libertarianism* is you eventually run out of Americans' money. *Well, and the *other* thing

BBC London news describing an interfaith meeting in London between Muslims and Jews as ‘bringing both sides together’ - quite explicitly in the context of Gaza. But British Muslims and Jews are not on any ‘side’ of that conflict.

Who would have thought that a party full of tax dodgers would itself dodge tax?

Lib Dems don’t want disadvantaged kids to have breakfast. Instead they’d rather have private education for the elite.

The era-defining phenomenon of rampant football hooliganism didn’t happen according to “Honest” Bob Jenrick. Pure bullshit from the batshit Tories.

Badenoch has all but accused the government of treachery - she should table a confidence motion and have it out. But she won’t because she knows she can’t hack it.

I’m beginning to think that Badenoch is a Reform plant designed to ensure that the Tories collapse.

Sorry for this folks, I'm a Labour Party member and a member of the Fabians. But can someone tell me where I can get hold of this globalist cash?

There is zero proof backing up Badenoch's assertion, so for BBC to quote that on front page is appalling.
