long bank holiday weekend sun's out chilling in a beer garden urge to smoke a cigarette: overwhelming

so to burnish (no pun intended) his credentials with the Sensibles he is against renationalisation but he is in favour of taking specific water companies back into public ownership. hmmm

It's unfair to call the Marvel movies "kid's movies", they also have serious political messages, such as: - America is good - the military is good - military contractors are good - billionaires are good - heroes protect the existing power structure, villains try to change society

hey @edzitron.com you're pronouncing 'linearly' strangely.

what does that even mean? we can't un-hear it and he'll say it again the next time he's on

the demonrants and rethuglicunts

At this point There Are No Good Labour MPs.

stupid idea, tailor-made for the bsky crowd seemingly

A lot of proud gooners in north london tonight. hate to agree with the far right but it's a sign of the decadent, decaying society we live in

as long as the default voice is HAL9000

given all this I can't begrudge the greens for running a spiritied by-election campaign

unreasonably patriotic this monday morning

yes yt algorithm, more of this pls

muslamic windmills

we used to be a proper country

🎶 TO WHAT END 🎶

The local elections in one chart. Labour has been squeezed between the Greens in young wards and Reform in older working-class wards www.economist.com/britain/2026...

how am I only now finding out there's a labour mp called Baggy Shanker

excuse me this is england we don't say "im gagged" we say "im gobsmacked"

there is but it requires an entirely different set of labour mps

i think a supportive trump post about now would give starmer the shot in the arm he needs.

sky news presenter literally just made this fallacy on-air

chuka is a junglist (laudatory)

so we've got ~100 MPs calling on starmer to go, another 100 circulating a letter calling on him to stay, and the remaining 200 presumably twiddling their thumbs, hoping this all blows over without them having to do anything.

bad policy is cross-ideological, from booker to platner it's stupid season

baffled as to how they've landed on burnham as their saviour

kinda mad that the yanks are literally operating a whites-only refugee policy now

probably angry that he can't buy cigarettes anymore

mixing metaphors is my passion

the parallels between one nation in aus and reform uk keep piling up

i assume the wordle tv show the yanks are doing will be 7 mins of wordle and 23 mins of adverts. it's not the most time-consuming of games is it?

Starmer is doing his “I’m serious” voice, which is the same as his usual voice but a little bit more nasal.

At some point on my lifetime we might get a government which recognises that having an entire tier of elected institutions which are just powerless complaints departments for a failing social care system is not a healthy or sensible state of affairs.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

gotta hand it to yougov, they nailed it with their last mrp model

i now have a vision of farage as pm with badenoch as deputy pm

aussie teals >>> english teals

we're heading for net negative migration

this is democrracy manifest

no

everyone's on a spectrum, for some of us it is gender, for the rest it is autism

it'll be interesting to see if the greens can beat labour here in wales and in london. not easy but then again, who said it would be

just the idea of a national conversation in our current politics is so funny to me. who are the participants of this conversation exactly? cos it sure won't be the public

Final @yougov.co.uk ITV Wales @walesgovernance.bsky.social MRP poll of the Senedd campaign (changes since April) Plaid 33% (+4) Reform 29% (-) Labour 12% (-1) Cons 9% (+1) Greens 8% (-2) Libdems 6% (-) Others 3% (-1) Write up here: www.itv.com/news/wales/2... #senedd26 #senedd #devolution

hmmm, greens and labour fighting for the 6th seat round my neck of the woods, with labour winning out. do I vote green and hope they beat labour to the 6th seat or vote plaid to help them beat reform?
