I'm not close to Carney in my politics, but how come he can see all this and yet the UK government continues to believe it can get a good deal from the US regime?

I believe passionately in the NHS and public services. I've been told that I'm "aggressive". I'll tell you what is aggressive and relentless - the takeover of almost everything and putting it in the hands of a tiny group of people. If I'm aggressive, maybe more people need to be- and soon.

The real Labour Party started the NHS. The bastard children of Thatcher version of it will kill the NHS.

Another "Centrist Dad" band rehearsal I see.

10.5km hike/trail run up to about 1250m with Rosie this morning (along with a backpack with water for us both). Good for the soul!

Sinister and appalling. #StopPalantir morningstaronline.co.uk/article/pala...

"we'll support you ever more..." Up the flipping Villa! #avfc

...could be a long evening!

Irony just died, was cremated and fully laid to rest.

One of our local bars is closing tonight. It's a real hub of the community, locals, Colombians, Venezuelans and more- plus token Brits and Irish! Don't let the far right tell you it doesn't work! 🇪🇸🇮🇪

Loving the way Hannah Spencer manages to observe Westminster through the eyes of an ordinary citizen without getting drawn into its bubble. She has her standards, and she doesn't doubt them even when all around her are different. It takes strength to be the odd one out. She's her own woman.

Justice! Well done Glaws! 🍒🤍 #GLOvEXE

All about Cariey, as usual. Disgraceful. #GLOvEXE

48 hours later and the only outlet to follow up this story has been the National in Scotland Call me old fashioned but think destroying information with a legal hold on it and a disclosure to Serious Fraud is pretty important stuff open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Presumably, they'll be cancelling Kingy's US trip now? 😂

Too many players off it completely today. The subs felt like an admission that it wasn't going to be our day. Unai will not be happy!

Very little in the way of wit, imagination and fight shown today. An opportunity missed. #avfc

None of this will be fixed without a fight. Just because you can turn on your TV and get Netflix now, doesn't mean you won't lose everything soon.

"I'll put some whiskey in my whiskey.. I'll put some heartache in my heart". Tarta whisky is such a great Spanish invention.

How convenient.

Obviously, we don't have anything approaching a half decent media, so Farage will continue to get the armchair ride he currently enjoys.

Useful for anyone who doesn't know this stuff (I'm guessing that's too many people, or we wouldn't have the goons running governments we do have).

"You choose your leaders and place your trust As their lies wash you down and their promises rust You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns And the public wants what the public gets But I don't get what this society wants". Nothing changed. Well done everyone. Enjoy your house prices.

Dodgy knees, a crocked shoulder- but not bad for an old 'un after an emotional week in the UK.

The Graun art washing the Netanyahu regime.

Who argues with this? The question is, "why do we help perpetuate this system?"

If you're still doing the Wordle, keep putting "moron" as a guess. It sums up the NYT editorial stance.

Really? We should be "waging war" on fake politicians who pretend to be MPs, are paid fortunes by the British taxpayer, but who can't be bothered or trusted to turn up for work... even in the constituency where they were elected. #FakerFarage #ReformUK #ukpolitics #r4today #bbcnews

I hadn't realised that this is yet another Private Equity managed decline. When will we wake up?

They've bought the politicians, so buying the media is logical.

The thing about Palantir is that, like Trump, they never hide what they are- yet governments still flock to them. The problem is so much bigger, and the clock is ticking.

Power and keeping their jobs. Things that are important to Labour MPs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

One of the most shameful episodes in my lifetime. Sadly, not much has improved.

It was always a tall order expecting a Blue Nose to appreciate my songs. 😂😂

Interesting take on wealth. www.euronews.com/business/202...

In unrelated news, human penises are shrinking due to pollution.

So, are they going to take down the flags for a day to celebrate in parts of England? #StGeorgesDay

2 Lebanese journalists went to report on an Israeli attack. Israel targeted them & pursued them as they took shelter. Israel then attacked rescue workers who went to help. One journalist was killed & the other seriously injured This is what our govt is supporting & arming

DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷 bans all Microsoft products from all public offices. The phaseout is expected to be completed before autumn 2026. Their products are being replaced with customer versions of Linux and LibreOffice. This is digital sovereignty being taken back

🚨 NEW: Inside Big Oil's campaign to push Labour to drill the North Sea Oil & gas lobbyists have met UK and Scottish ministers more than once a week since Labour took office MPs have asked questions in Parliament after meeting lobbyists, and more 🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-h...

Just watching the Chelsea players, arms folded, staring at their fans. What a shit show of a club. Prima Donnas.

Those using "whataboutery" to defend Starmer should realise that Palantir has its claws into Labour as much as they did with the Tories. Mandelson was at the heart of that, but so is Streeting. Whether it's ignorance or complicity, Starmer has facilitated this sinister organisation, and should go.

The EU is going to extend sanctions on Iran to include those responsible for the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz. The US? Israel? If the EU really wanted to do something responsible or show they have even an ounce of integrity, they would call out the US & Israel loud & clear & cut the bullshit!

Inhuman...

Humans stopped deserving the planet a long time ago. Cocaine pollution in rivers and lakes may disrupt behaviour of salmon, study finds www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

John McDonnell was 100% correct - McSweeney and Mandelson were rewarded for bringing down the Labour left and securing the Labour leadership for Starmer - whatever they wanted, they were to get without question. Keir Starmer is an iredeemable liar.

"forensic" ain't what it used to be. No 10 signals Starmer accepts he inadvertently misled parliament over Mandelson vetting – UK politics live www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Going to the Villa yesterday was a huge emotional release. I've been worried about Mom and my son Mom seems so much better today, and I was able to ensure she ate a good lunch. What a relief! ,💔

So when are you doing the set at HT at Villa Park?
