I hope it'll be Spain vs. England. Trump will have a melt-down if he has to present the trophy to either of those...

The intelligent absurdism of Count Binface conveys some very serious messages. The gathering Binface Movement is catching a national wave and could grow to be something significant. This is no Silly Party. Binface is no Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel.

The word "welfare" has been taken by the far right and turned into a term of abuse. The word "defence" has been placed on an altar, and is not open to question. If these concepts are properly and fully understood, the idea of increasing "defence" by reducing "welfare" is ludicrous.

Neil's speech, yesterday, belongs up there with Militant Tendency ("...scuttling about in taxis...") and his Bridgend speech ("I warn you not to be old" ... etc). He conveyed the right sense of urgency. We must rejoin the EU NOW, not "in the lifetime" of whoever is Labour leader next week.

Yesterday and this morning the BBC News programmes were full of talking heads saying that Britain does not spend enough money on the military. Now the BBC is showing the Trooping of the Colour. I'm thinking: "Hmmm..." Saying nothing, just thinking....

Excellent article bylines.cymru/voices-lleis...

Quite right. Britain can't have sustainable growth without Rejoining the EU. See this comprehensive appraisal of the benefits across the STEEPLE factors. Fully fact checked and referenced. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FZLQW9TQ

Dear #AndyBurnham, If you have neither the conviction nor the courage to fight Reform Ltd., a.k.a. the Brexit Party, on their one core belief, then you should not have picked the fight in the first place. You've lost it before you even start.

I have an important message for Mr Andy Burnham. It's this: Leyton by-election, 1965. Look it up. Never take the electorate for granted.

Starmer is digging in and learning lessons. There'll be no challenge. Sorry to disappoint the BBC, ITV and Sky journalists who have been so tied up in petty personality politics they forgot to progress beyond puberty.

Bye bye #WesStreeting. Good rubbish to bad riddance. There's the exit door, don't slam it on your slippery little fingers on your way out. Your Personal Tutor Mr Mandelson and your various dodgy financiers are going to be very disappointed with you I'm sorry to say. So sad 😂 .

If the Met Police weren't so busy handcuffing and arresting pensioners for peacefully carrying placards supporting fellow human beings in Palestine, they might have more resources to put bobbies on the beat to look after fellow human beings in north London - and everywhere else. Just an idea.

"Some things are blindingly obvious: the 'reset' with Europe is vital - we need to rejoin as fast as the EU will let us." - Polly Toynbee www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #Breturn #RejoinEU

How about calming down and pausing to think about whether making political appointments to professional roles such as Ambassador is such a great idea?

"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket." - Pedro Sanchez, Prime Minister of Spain. Thanks to dual nationality, when British politicians & media cringe before the idiot Trump, my Spanish half keeps my British half sane.

The 2026 Senedd election is an opportunity for our movement to make a big impact, urging the next Welsh govt to work towards building closer ties with Europe... ..and putting pressure on Westminster to listen to the concerns of the Welsh from all walks of life who have been impacted by Brexit.

F.Y.I. When Americans are moaning and blubbing about the price of "gas", they actually mean "petrol". Hope that helps.

Dear Starmer, If you lack the cojones to call out Trump as a war criminal who should not be flattered with a visit, just tell him that King Chas is too busy to visit the USA. He's got a clashing appointment. His pet guinea-pig is pregnant. He's washing his hair. Anything. bsky.app/profile/rich...

Love this! Do it! No more playing nice guy with the Dictator! #BlueCrew #Resisters #Democrats #RedCrew

100%. And a very plausible excuse 👏👏👏

If Starmer has any self-respect he will now advise King Chas that Trump's state visit is to be "indefinitely postponed". If Trump demands a reason let's say we're all washing our hair.

If it comes to North Devon, we're going to not go to see it every week until they stop showing it.

Support is growing across the country for rebuilding our relationship with Europe, but if we want to turn this momentum into lasting change, and take the next steps, that pressure must grow. Help by joining the leading campaign to rebuild the UK-EU relationship:

My wife and me are hoping the Melania movie will come to the Odeon, Bridgend, so we can not go to see it...
