Reminder. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Lots of fellow lefties are in serious fucking need of this reminder.

We have normalised paying for things you should not have to pay for like education and health while simultaneously normalising not paying for things you should pay for like music, writing and games.

Every senior Reform UK person is a former Tory: Leader: Nigel Farage (former Tory) Deputy Leader: Richard Tice (former Tory) Chair: Lee Anderson (former Tory) Deputy Chair: Paul Nuttalls (former Tory) Leader in Scotland: Malcolm Offord (former Tory Life Peer) (1/8)

@leader-music.bsky.social Yes! Definitely! The number of times I've tried to find a song on here (and previously the other place) you've played on the show having remembered it months later, and failed miserably! 😄 An excellent idea.

The leadership battle makes me hate what Labour have become even more. They're full on Tory, power hungry incompetence in every way. Just shut up, accept you're disliked and fix the fucking pot holes. No one wants another leadership battle.

Instead of denouncing Reform as the hard right, I suggest that it would be more effective to call them the 'Ultra Tories'. It more accurately reflects who they are and would associate them with the decline of the past few years.

Kamlager-Dove: Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. Prices have gone up, and this dude is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you. Fuck him.
