Clever bastards aren't they ..

I bet Zelenski, Macron, Merz, Tusk and one or two others can’t believe what they’re seeing. A man who has done so much to rebuild bridges with allies and restore the UK’s soft power and standing in the world, being torn down by his own side.

If the whispers about Burnham and Streeting are true, neither of them are fit to be Prime Minister. Meantime, Keir Starmer continues to keep Britain out of an illegal war, builds the standing of the UK in the world, and repairs relationships with allies.

And yet….. some people would have us believe that not all Reform voters are racists; that their vote is simply a desperate cry from a ‘forgotten town’. Actually, they are scum. Utter scum. Decent people don’t vote Reform.

So sorry @rdrberry.bsky.social

Absolutely madness what @catherinewestmp.bsky.social has done. She is playing in to Reform's hands. Why are some MPs so blind to this? The moment you replace the Labour leader, the calls start for a general election to 'get their own mandate'. It's why Farage says there will be one in 2027.

Anyone cheering the election of Reform Councillors on this, the anniversary of VE Day, should hang their empty heads in shame. Decent people do not vote Reform.

Sky News projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative. More evidence that Reform appears to have peaked.

Well! It looked like Apocalypse had this race in the bag, but look! Pandemic is making a late run on the far side. Meantime, Climate Change continues to hold firm on the rails in the closing stages. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/06/cruise-ship-hantavirus-strain-andes-spread-humans-south-africa

It’s like a sad, truncated repeat of Brexit isn’t it? Reform voters won’t “Get Starmer Out” because they were sold a pack of lies. But they will end up with chaos in their Councils, and will probably spend the next four years bleating about it not being the kind of Council they voted for.

I live in Derbyshire. Reform control our County Council and the roads are atrocious. No sign of the marvellous pot hole mending machine here. But the Council Tax went up, even though they promised it wouldn’t!

There is a yearning for truly Green politics. Renewable clean energy, home insulation, waste reduction, litter, ending fly tipping, public transport, using allotments etc etc. They do NOT include sitting down with Putin and singing Kumbaya.

How can they possibly dismiss the impact of Covid? We had a worse death rate than comparable countries, and a more restricted vaccine offer. Vast quantities of peer reviewed research points to long term neurological, cardiac and immune system damage. And look at the damn dates!

You’ve been to Wales haven’t you Wulfie? @wulfhelm.bsky.social *Thanks to @DuilleDesign from over there for the image.

Apart from the actual stats, the most reliable indicator that immigration is plunging (to our obvious economic detriment) is Nigel Farage turning his dishonest attentions to the mythical millions of benefits claimants.

The highlighted comment alone should bring an end to Zack Polanski's nascent political career.

Well, well!

Precisely!

A great tit’s arse. #ShitBirdPhotos @wulfhelm.bsky.social

I used to like Ed Davey, but I have always thought Lee Anderson and Zarah Sultana were seperated only by a perineum.

The fight for equality and inclusivity should perhaps begin with addressing this absolutely basic, universal need. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

The United Kingdom and France convened 51 countries for an international summit on the Strait of Hormuz, reaffirming a shared commitment to safeguarding freedom of navigation, upholding international law, and supporting global economic & energy stability. Meanwhile Nigel Farage was selling Bitcoin.

A rather more meaningful story than the non-story that has dominated the news for the past few days.

But let’s not talk about this…or the fact that a supposed ally is a hostile state… Or the fact that 14 years of Tory rule left the UK unable to defend itself. Let’s ignore all that and mewl about how much we despise Keir Starmer.

The Daily Mail poll about whether the UK should re-join the European Union did not go according to plan.

Yet another reason to return to the European fold; where rules are followed, and partners are reliable and stable.

But the child still wants us to believe that Farage is the focus of his fight. Silly little boy.

Wondering whether all the usual suspects mouthing off about Keir Starmer’s trip to the Gulf think he’s visiting an active war zone just for shits and giggles.

Never forget who backed this lunatic, to the hilt.

Tempted to say that I haven’t words strong enough to express my contempt for these vacuous cunts, but that would be very rude. So how does ‘some people haven’t quite grasped the seriousness of the situation’, sound?

But…. but…. the Labour Party doesn’t do owt for t’working class does it?

Never underestimate how many deeply fucking stupid people are able to get rich and influential and never, ever underestimate how many really fucking stupid people are willing to vote them into power.

As an atheist I’ve no axe to grind against any particular deity, but I do think religion is a bit, well, medieval, and I think it would be better for everyone if people kept their gods and goddesses at home.

So, today, as well as worrying about the apocalypse and calling people twats in another place, I foraged some wild garlic leaves and made pesto.

A little light reading for the peddlers of misinformation: Looking at you Zack Polanski.

Not exclusively for @wulfhelm.bsky.social

So, today, as well as worrying about the apocalypse and calling people twats in another place, I have made a small strawberry patch and planted some seed potatoes.

Good grief, I know it’s a hypothetical question, but haven’t human beings done enough damage to their own damn planet?

Well, being as Trump has just torpedoed NATO, Keir Starmer should be on the lecturn at 6.00 announcing that circumstances have radically changed since 2016, that it is now beyond doubt that re-joining the EU is in the national interest, and that he will therefore invoke Article 49.

Here are ten seconds of Flamingoes feeding underwater.

Dearie, dearie me. The most delulu dribble coming in response to my comments about Corbyn’s heir, the child Polanski. Needless to say, I shall not be replying to any of it.

I should think they bloody well are!

The most profound, meaningful and absolutely necessary act of public service would be for someone to hide his tablets.

Having cancer is neither brave or a fight. It is a cruel & unrelenting disease. You just have it. And your outcomes are because of the incredible medical treatments available. To state that someone bravely fought it implies that those that died were neither brave or fought hard enough. Stop this.

Do it!

It’s really not a case of TACO is it. It’s a case of Trump making a fucking fortune: crashing the markets, buying low to sell high a few hours later. Meantime, ordinary people have spent the weekend worrying about the mortgage, and wondering if they’d still be alive by Tuesday morning. He’s a cunt!

Sending love today to anyone who has a complicated relationship with their Mother, if all the hearts and flowers have got a bit too much.
