Oddly enough I was talking about this last night, and then this is the first thing I've read this morning. Spot on article.

The thing about Venezuela is that we need to see the Epstein Files.

Much as the BBC pisses me off, I love the fact it pisses everyone else off too. The fact that it's being sued as an intimidation tactic by the Nonce-in-Chief says this is an institution to support. And if you back the Orange Peril or Komrade Farageski, I wouldn't leave you alone with a child.

Shit I missed it... Who won the FIFA Peace Prize?

This has been the most fun tournament I've watched in years. If its because of tight pockets, then I say tighten 'em up more! Great fun! #snooker

Nigel Farage denies that he’s going to do a deal with the Tories, but then there’s this: 100% of Reform MPs ARE EX-TORY members; 616 (67%) of Reform’s 924 councillors are EX-TORIES; 21 EX-TORY MPs have defected to Reform. Vote Reform, get Tories! #ReformUK #TurquoiseTiries

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

One thing is certain: the status quo isn't working. We can't go on like this.

100%

Perfect 👌 as usual from @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚💚💚

If you have a moment this petition needs you.

Bloody hell Huddersfield, where has this team been all my life 😍 #htafc

“Why do you think Russia paid your close, but less well known, colleague to say the sort of things that you were saying for free at the same time?”

No, not Mani 😭

"Among the reasons cited by analysts for the Social Democrats’ decline in Copenhagen were voter fatigue over the prime minister’s hardline policies on issues such as integration and immigration..." Are there any lessons here for Labour, perhaps? Yes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes. Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”. Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

The question has to be what kompromat McSweeney has on him.

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

Orange Juice, Rip it up. What a tune to rediscover after far too many years.

Now that the Labour Party are apparently now explicitly against improving peoples working conditions, what exactly is the point of them?

It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour, whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.

Sarkozy starting a jail term for dodgy finacial dealings. In England that would get you a seat in the house of lords and even richer.

What an unbelievably wanky thing to do. I thought Waitrose/John Lewis was meant to be the acceptable face of capitalism! Glad I don't pay over the odds for the pleasure of wallowing in smugness with all the Tarquins and Tabithas. Fair play to Asda (obvs the unacceptable face of capitalism).

Millions of voters are forced to vote tactically, for the least worst option under the wacky maths of the first-past-the-post voting system. It’s way past-time to “Make All Votes Count” #getPRdone to #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentation

Except you haven't applied to ask a question since July have you, you lazy little gobshite?

"A spokesperson for the BMA said applying a 15% employer NICs rate would lead to higher costs, which would then be passed on to patients, 'making private care less accessible and discouraging doctors from continuing or entering private practice'." This is their argument against paying tax 😂

Fuck football. Stupid game.

Reform UK want to take public spending down to 35% of GDP — that’s a £275 billion cut, the equivalent of shutting down the NHS. The Green Party knows the only way to rebuild our communities is by investing in our public services, not running them down and flogging them off to the private sector.

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.” Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

This woman really is an unpleasant, arrogant piece of work.

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

I think we all know the answer to this question, dont we?

The polio immunisation program started in the USA in 1955. Look what happened next.

No outrage from me...... She's bang on the money here. #nadiyahussain #charliekirk #GazaGenocide #IsraelWarCrimes #selectiveoutrage #racism

Yes!! FINALLY a politician debunking the household budget analogy AND making the obvious but never talked about point that investment in the NHS pays itself back many times over due to a healthier working population. More of this please @zackpolanski.bsky.social it's SUCH a breath of fresh air.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Truth!

"I used to work with a guy who was unemployed"

Getting my Blur on tonight, and the thought occurs (again) that the rhythm section is by far the coolest part of the band. Damon and Graham are both geniuses, but we'd have nothing to discuss but music. I don't think I could ever get bored talking to Alex or Dave, who are both utterly fascinating.

People have feelings of anger caused by inequality and the wealthy seek to misdirect these through the far-right to distract from over 45 years of a failed neoliberal economic model that is eroding our living standards, our communities, our planet and our souls. Don't buy into their narrative.

My dad told me yesterday he was off to London with the barmaid from his local. I thought he might be in. I only realised earlier today what they've gone up for, and it's made me really sad ☹️

My favourite post from “the other place” “brush your tooth” 🤣🤣🤣 @leftyseparatist.bsky.social 👏👏

Day 10. I'm in Bristol. Later in Birmingham. Tonight in Manchester. The Green Party is on the move. Join.greenparty.org.uk

And now for some actual hard evidence www.enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/party-p...

I’m with the @libdems.org.uk👇🏼are you❓ End the BBC love in with Farage, Reform etc and stop using licence payers money to promote them… Instead provide us with an impartial, professional, incisive news we can rely on for balanced reporting 👍🏼 You got that @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

Thank God someone has finally taken a stand. Now let's ban them from every ground.
