I can't help wondering. If this daft piece of crap had had the start in life of a normal person, what would he be doing now? Not POTUS, that much is certain. I hesitate to mention any job, really, lest anyone doing that job find it offensive. Maybe unemployed and living in a trailer park?

Two decent people, @london.gov.uk Sadiq Khan and @zackpolanski.bsky.social Zack Polanski, united around giving a damn and respectfully agreeing on basic common sense in trying to move things forward. Somewhat rare in politics these days.

I've not heard much of Dale, and I won't be hearing much of him in future if this is anything to go by. A repeated theme emerged. He asked questions that simply didn't stand up to a 'Yes/No' answer, Polanski explained why not and precisely what his position was, and then Dale would come back...

Please be wary of opening this. Labelled as sexually suggestive, no one should open it if easily stimulated.

The UN on the Epstein files. “So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” [UN experts] said. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

He would also never have proscribed Palestine Action, appointed Mahmood as Home Secretary, favoured taking benefits from the disabled over taxing banks and dozens of other things. Maybe we need to reassess who the 'real Keir Starmer' actually is, given that...

On Wednesday at 7pm I'll be joined by the Green Party leader @ZackPolanski for an hour long phone-in.

Interesting. And a good argument for the Greens and the LibDems to come to an informal arrangement at the next election if it holds.

Srsly, @telegraph.co.uk? I remember when you weren't the Daily Mail. This is just embarrassing. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02...

I recently unsubscribed from this - more because I'm overladen with podcasts than through dissatisfaction - but tuned back in for this one. Pogrund and Maguire on the Labour Together slandering of journalists' scuzziness row. www.thetimes.com/podcasts/the...

I find myself in the strange position of being a far-left Stalin-loving extremist, (if I'm to understand my identity as an erstwhile supporter of Corbyn and a current Green Party member), and yet I'm a pragmatic royalist. As a Brit, I have shares in the best circus on the planet. It's not...

Some thoughts on generational divides and expectations.

Yeah, I mean how do we navigate this one, people? It's a well-known fact that all of us left of Genghis Khan are just DESPERATE to hand the country over to Putin. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Russian UAV operator Myroslav Simonov from the elite "Rubicon" unit has defected to Ukraine’s side. He says that after being deployed near Kupiansk and seeing how casually orders were given to execute prisoners, he went AWOL and crossed over to the Ukrainian side. youtu.be/Xq4f8MHrl_o?...

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

I was. I even remember being sent out by my mother to the local shop for the first time clutching these strange new coins, and all the preparation ads and TV shows on the tele. (Well, I don't remember all of 'em, just that they happened). I also seem to remember we were quite relaxed by it, even...

Holden reported this happened to him a while back, but was ignored by the mainstream media. It would be nice to think the press will now look at everything else revealed in his book 'The Fraud', but somehow I doubt that will happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good. A vast majority of these were, I believe, Labour-held or Labour-led councils, and the chronological gerrymandering was obvious. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02...

Shaheen is the reason I joined the Green Party. I was raised in Chingford from the age of 3 months until I left it for university in Sheffield. My MP for most of that I think was Norman Tebbit. Even from afar, I've inevitably kept an interest in Chingford. My biggie for the 2024 election was...

People need to be more responsible and not just gawp at things. This is frightening. It's not normal for clouds to have that colour. If you see something like this, alert the authorities so they can prepare everyone for whatever crisis it foretells.

Wow! Okay. This is a shot across the Labour leadership's bow, no mistake. Are back benchers starting to wake up?

California now bypassing Trump to help Ukraine with billions.

Happy Sunday! “It’s not my fault you ran out of toner when I was born” 🤣💀

Fifteen years in 10 Downing Street! Happy Anniversary, @number10cat.bsky.social Larry.

Yvette Cooper on Trevor Phillipson this morning said the quiet bit out loud about Starmer's petty - and dishonest - parochial party-politicking at Munich, stating that that was for a domestic audience. She doesn't seem to understand that the conference was the wrong venue.

Good interview. Corbyn was around from the point Mandelson first appeared and he saw - as well as felt the brunt of - much of the shenanigans. It makes for a worthwhile potted history of Mandelson's projects reshaping the Labour Party. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSRw...

The Labour cry of 'The Greens are splitting the vote' was always somewhat foolish when the Green Party and Starmer's Labour are not playing to the same voters anyway... or, at least, not the same voters with any sense of what they're about. But this is an additional demonstration that insofar as...

PM Tusk: Some say that Ukraine should be grateful for everything. The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.

For @propublica.org’s weekly newsletter, @micarosenberg.bsky.social wrote about speaking with a 9 year old who was in immigration detention for four months. She was supposed to go to Disney World. Instead immigration agents put her on a plane to Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Quite the chart

On Labour gabbing on about how people not voting for them splits the left.

Absolutely.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

What disgusts me about this is the stupidity. It's bad enough Labour descended into the gutter to misrepresent the Greens in the hurly-burly of domestic party politics. But when OUR Prime Minister representing OUR country on the international stage at a forum crucial for our security takes that...

His attack lines on the Green Party are fundamentally dishonest and target voters foolish enough to believe them. The very idea that a PM of this country would take that silliness into an international forum and deliver it to an overseas audience is embarrassing, and makes the country look...

Yes. Sadly, yes.

Example of when it is right to disapprove absolutely while quietly applauding.
