Hunt: "We've grown much wealthier as a country since the 80s" 1970s Britain owned its utilities, millions of council houses, had a huge oil/gas reserve & a national debt of £80bn. Now? No assets & £2.9tn national debt We havent got richer. Jeremy & his mates have at our expense

Of course we want a fiscally responsible government but oh my God, the handwringing about “where will this £850mn come from?” from the same country that spaffed £40bn on a Brexit divorce bill plus a further £100bn a year yet no one seemed to give a shit where that would all come from!

He blew it. Green Party, here we come.

Chagos with Ed Milliband! [Am I doing this right?]

With Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary he can't go on about all that awful environmental stuff and complain about North Sea Oil.

John Healey? No, I didn’t see that one coming. Nor do I see it as good news. He is far too conventional to take on the Treasury and all its faults when managing the economy. If Burnham meant to bring about change, this was not the appointment we needed.

Sacco's masterpiece, and possibly my favourite Merc... 😗👌

Andy Burnham must prioritise the UK’s relationship with the EU to secure the growth to fund his domestic agenda. bestforbritain.org/eu-reintegra...

Classless to the last. Only missing the Falklands banner for the full graceless-loser effect.

Such a historic image

Shame. 'Spain’s players gave Argentina a guard of honour as they went up to collect their silver medals. For Spain’s turn to collect their medals and lift the World Cup, Argentina’s players moved to the other side of the pitch with their backs towards their opponents.' metro.co.uk/2026/07/20/a...

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

It was the Rochdale Classic Car and Bike Show today, and I had a lovely time wandering around some nice cars and talking to their owners. Some pictures...

Everyone is Spain today 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸. Good luck, guys.

They've wheeled out the 3rd choice Melania body-double today #WCfinal #SpaArg

Laura Kuenssberg, Andrew Neil, and the BBC apparatus which gave Cambridge Analytica a chance to undermine @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s investigation before it was published, called law breaking ‘rule breaking’, demeaned her as a mad cat lady, and fluffed Farage, deserve all the ignominy of history

Basically...

Hard Brexit has led to misery and missed flights for thousands of British travellers this summer. And it's about to get a lot worse with the rush. Don't get caught out, and don't forget who to blame... spoiler, it's not the EU that is just "protecting its borders" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The most pointless game of the tournament was the best game of the tournament...

Yup... (h/t @johnwards.bsky.social)

Another couple of fab tours at @chethamslibrary.bsky.social this morning, meeting folk from Denmark, Italy, Poland, USA, and even Oldham too! This place is a real Mancunian gem - come see!

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Let's be absolutely clear: there is no amount of new drilling in the North Sea that Burnham could approve which would be consistent with our climate goals. If we are to avoid complete climate breakdown, we need to turn all effort to clean renewable energy - not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels.

Clayton Hall re-opens TODAY, Saturday 18th July. Join us for our grand re-opening as we welcome visitors back to one of Manchester’s most remarkable historic treasures. Doors open at 11am with last entry at 3pm. Plan your visit: claytonhall.org

I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

'Patriot News' reporter Chris Atkins (scatatkins.bsky.social) was just kicked out of Liz Truss' CPAC conference for asking the wrong questions. So much for free speech.
