Quite… and now it’s quite possibly carefully calibrated to burnish his credentials with the party membership.

Serious people seem to be in very short supply among current Conservatives.

The centre right took early retirement to count its money.

Diet Racism…

The national “voice” has suddenly become exclusively white, angry and incomprehensible.

When I was growing up I was always under the impression that conservatives wanted to… er… conserve things.

These days they just want to burn EVERYTHING to a crisp.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Trump/Thunderbirds commentary… radio gold. Get it in your ears.

Waiting for one of the parties to baldy point out to the chronically selfish that their own pensions will need more migrants in the workforce given the demographic trends in this country.

I am the listener maintaining I genuinely plucked his name from the ether as the defector this morning.

There’s something about Kruger’s “faith” ticket I find deeply creepy and which is seared in my brain. That’s why I plumped for him.

I’ll tune in tomorrow despite the cheating accusation. 😂

Bingo! The media is no longer reporting the national mood. It’s consciously creating it.

I just want ANYBODY that has the gumption to say “that lot over there are really rather unpleasant and you might want have a little think before you sign up to destroying everything”.

But we’re supposed to believe it is compatible with exhortations to assassinate our democratically elected leader.

I yearn for the days when these people felt the need to hide under their rock.

Ooh! Journalism. I’ve missed you. 👏

There’s plenty of real news. They choose to ignore it and make their own.

If news was determined by the size of protest, Palestine and Remain marches would top the headlines. Instead we get…

Victim? Victim??? Wow! That’s quite the reach.

A life 3% less awful than under the Tories?

The lowest of bars.

The Trawl Meets. Geoff Norcott. The cognitive dissonance is strong in this one. Nice guy, sharp too and yet STILL so cowardly on Brexit. Nebulous mumbling about sovereignty and then hiding behind Covid to suggest it’s not that important.

We come to you LIVE from Robert Jenrick’s internal monologue…

What in the name of Judas Iscariot’s left bollock is he on about? 😵‍💫

A significant number of politicians seem to have switched from public service to public cruelty.

That thing where the PM says you’re not serious… Right there.

Jesus! He’ll be opening up a new Colosseum next.

That guy should be hiding under a rock for his spectacular failure and conspicuous disappearing act when the heat was on.

Great. What was it on for the first year? The decor?

Labour may have been underwhelming but worse than their predecessors? The public has been gaslit by a rabid media that point blank refuses to highlight any good news stories and screaming the bad at the top of its voice. Labour will only get credit if and when people FEEL their lives improving.

It’s a real shame to be reminded of him, isn’t it?

I could hear the pain in your voice. While we love The Trawl, please find time to care for yourself, and don’t be afraid to take a step back if you need time to regroup. Love to you and Jemma.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sorry. It all got too vehicular for me when you had The Biggin Hill Human Speedgun call in. I’ll check back in tomorrow in the expectation things will be less wheel based.
😉

To be fair, it’s hard to keep up with his relentless spawning.

Not The Trawl I’ve come to expect but ESSENTIAL listening nonetheless. Don’t ever change. Your humanity will catch on one day.
