Seems the only beneficiaries of Brexit were Farage, Johnson, Gove , Banks Bannon etc.

Curiosity - resulting in a vote for Reform is most certain to result in disappointment. ( My Dr Johnson AI generator)

I hope the UK chooses to align with Europe - not only for self defence but for food security, culture and so much more.

I don’t think I can actually watch this match because I don’t seem to have subscribed to the appropriate tv Channel. Oh well - tomorrow is another day.

I have asked for a quote on A/C is this beyond the pale ?

We're stuck in "a situation in which, to put it in very broad terms, we have a country which ‘knows’ it has made a mistake and regrets it, and yet has a politics which can barely acknowledge that and certainly can’t address it." Spot-on by @chrisgrey.bsky.social

How many jobs are there for youngsters as below deckhands on super yachts ?

Yikes- Elon Musk followed me … he has no followers and he even wants to chat with me … can’t wait to be honest. We can talk about his drug addiction and his nappy and his rockets. How lucky am I ?

A new national conversation, or just the same old one? New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog discussing the different strands of the now intensifying revival of discussion about Brexit, including the latest developments in the 'reset': chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/a-ne...

Honestly - no wonder there are a huge number of young people not in work or further education. Who in their right mind would want debts of over > £60k ? Or if there are no hopes of being taken on as an apprentice post college ?

Keep seeing all these lay offs because of AI and at the same time seeing some oligarch and his super yacht . What jobs have AI saved the Oligarch, or is he just cutting his losses from his investment ?

Is it relevant that Reform say their policy is to deport people with ILR if they are elected ? It was suggested to me that this would be blocked by the Courts and was more or less a Reform gimmick.

Is AI losing jobs because of the high tech or is it losing jobs because of the no pay back investment ?

Logically seems China and Europe have the answer to Trump. Does Europe still hanker after a post Trump alliance ?

Why do the markets make the assumption that it is in their interests to support short term gain v long term loss ?

New Labour seems to be offering two choices - amendments to the voting system or re-entry into the EU.

It’s time Government got ahead of the curve regarding Reform and the equally repellent Restore.

If O.J. Simpson could win then AI has no place in law.

Now we are sort of fighting good v evil.

Do you remember when the Americans were all laughing at our teeth in the UK ?

Why does the Government skirt around small boat crossings and leaving ECHR. Why don’t they spell out the consequences ?

Nobody seems to be taking Reform to task on what their immigration policies actually mean.

I would like to see more commentary on what Reform and the Tories want to do to people with ILR. This is not a passive policy - it will cause immense harm to people and their families who have lived in the UK for decades.

If AI is about saving money for business owners - then prove it !

Starmer should just tell Blair to fuck off. Yesterday’s man - overwhelming greedy trying to influence current events.

Vote Reform and see anyone of a different colour interred pending status as a UK citizens. See children separated from parents, see thugs roaming the streets and cars abandoned because people of a different colour are incarcerated.

Anyway - today’s temperatures are lovely. Shamefully, I have explored air conditioning.

When the World moves right - people need to espouse the “New Deal” because what benefits the few certainly doesn’t benefit the many.

UK should wake up - why does Farage support Trump/ Putin ?

Why would anyone who wasn’t on the gravy train or compromised vote for right wing parties ?

ICE detention facilities are concentration camps with subhuman conditions. And somehow, the entire Dem caucus is not using its power and visibility to SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN! I cannot get my head around the silence and indifference of people who supposedly share my values.

I reckon - if anyone could be bothered you could catalogue the rich in the UK to a few thousand people and you could catalogue their Media supporters to a similar number. Then you could catalogue outside interference and see where that lands on UK political parties.

Today has been expensive - problems with tech stuff and other stuff. Luckily there is an Aldi up the road.

When Farage wears his Union Jack socks or shoes don’t any of his followers think - this man cost the UK £90 billion lost revenue per annum ? Do they not think he appeared on Russian State tv multiple times ? Do they not think everyone of his policies mirrors Trumps ? Look at the grift and lies.

Can’t really see human knowledge improving if it relies on LLM’s. Seems to me these are effectively pre programmed to concentrate wealth rather than expand human knowledge. Still ….

Why would the UK want to saddle itself with the failed Trump regime ?

What about those people who have to contract out of the time directive ? No overtime pay for them.

Theoretically - Farage appeals to retirees - as he will keep the triple lock, he appeals to the self employed and to the racists. How likely are these potential groups to be disadvantaged by voting for Reform ?

At the minute, I only have a stand for an instant barbecue - does anyone think it’s worthwhile to expand my horizons ?

Can Farage hide out until the next Election ? Theoretically he could emulate Trump and only appear at his “Reform will fix it” rallies and on GB News - the sponsored by Paul Marshall right wing news advertising programme but in the short term - possibly not.

Why would a crypto billionaire donate £12 million to Reform and £5 million to Farage personally ?

It gets to a point when you can’t even explain the policies of Farage to people without boring them because they are not interested.

The whole of Society is codependent.

Falling immigration numbers offer chance to reset debate and ask how and why people coming to the UK and leaving it changes all our lives. Scream at me all you want but I refuse to ignore the facts in favour of anyone’s divisive fiction and will keep speaking up for a better way forward for all.

Every Reform UK Councillor that has gone, with reasons. This is superb:

This is a picture of the embryonic herb garden

I want to see the Government defend people who are in the UK legally. I don’t think these people should be afraid that they will be deported when they were generally permitted to be here under the last Tory Government - who now want to deport them.

I think immigrants living in the UK with legal status are now frightened, as they should be in the event of a Reform Government - seeking to detain and return them - even if they are in the UK legally.

Telling the RefUK faithful the actual facts about fag-and-a-pint-farage policies maybe,just maybe..we might get through to them that the weasel is peddling porkies. Who'da thunk eh? Maybe they're not the lost cause after all 🤔 Or am I living in cloud cuckoo land?

Today’s dinner was crap - sausage, egg and chips - it was all I had in fridge. Also - I added a tin of Branston baked beans !
