Not An Expert But

* rubs eyes* Hungary? WTAF? I thought solar was woke or something!?

I think you missed 100% of the joke (ie Corbyn = Lemon) but no-one can dispute the Bluesky community's commitment to not getting humour.

But, but, the nuclear submarines!!!!!

And people said there wasn't any evidence linking Marlboro to the KKK!

I was thinking about getting an armchair but now that I've seen your elbowstool 🤔

Based on one of her previous posts I don't think Helen understands who trans men are. So quit while you're ahead James 😉

Rupert Lowe mistakes charity rowers for 'illegal migrants' Rupert Lowe says he will donate £1,000 to charity but makes

@zoejardiniere.bsky.social I think we might have found a loophole to placate the racists!

It was used as the 'local' in the drama series 'Save Me' (starring Lennie James) despite the show being set in south London.

Based on Farage's popularity among Reform voters I'd say a lot more than 2% Love clowns.

Thanks James, very informative.

Wouldn't have thought MPs would be the 1st point of contact on a lot of those personal/local issues so presumably the casework part is increasing due to cuts to council funding and/or reaching a dead end using the usual routes!?

I agree with your last para but, as someone who knows very little about the expected role of an MP outside of Westminster, I'd be interested to get an overview of an example inbox.

I followed Jess Phillips on X and the impression I got was a lot of her team's work was as makeshift social workers!?

The responses in this survey are bonkers but my favourite has to be the 15% of Britons who have 'a negative view of immigrants coming to the UK to do jobs most Brits don't want to do'.

FPTP: Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with PR.

*7 years' of coalition and minority government later *

British public: Can we have the 'chaos with PR' please?

I think secularisation plays a large part. The Church would have filled a large role in setting behavioural standards back in the day. And now (last 100+ years) that has increasingly become the responsibility of government.

After all, who else is there?

The guy in the yellow and blue jacket seems to be part dragon.

Born to Run out his partner after calling for an ill advised single #CricketMusic

Using 'influencers' is the issue I take with this.

A govt account on Bluesky issuing press releases? Excellent, I'd follow that.

The govt dropping 'scoops' to random accounts for them to boost? No thank you.

You'd hope that the process to award the contract was fair and transparent. Maybe someone should look into that.

I get your skepticism but it doesn't sound like any money changed hands. Just someone seconded to help out Kyle on policy, no!?

Trump is getting very serious with Putin. So much so that he's shortened his deadline from "2 weeks" to "10 to 12 days"!

(Although hasn't specified whether that's 'working days' so *shoulder shrug*)

Makes a change from Hegseth!

So frustrating! And whilst repairing properties to a habitable standard isn't always cheap it is relatively 'low hanging fruit'.

But I'm sure the council have an excuse like not having the funds in the right pot!?

But strangely fixated on stuff?

They 'endured the Romans and the Danes'? How old are these villagers?

I looked on, as a Brit, seeing the revelations coming out during the 2016 Primaries thinking this will sink Trump. But it never did. And now we're into year 5 of 8 of one of the worst people who ever walked the land being 'Leader of the Free World'. FFS!

Deep Fine Leg? Get cutting those cucumbers Rob!

Sounds ludicrous but it's actually the first thing Barack Hussein Obama did after inventing a time machine in 2026.

UK Govt: We'll protect children from the dangers of the internet with 'Age Verification'. Show us your face and if you look old enough we'll grant you access.

13Y.O. Me: Grandad, can I take your photo? It's for *thinks for a second* a 'school research project'.

Crazy how Power, or more specifically the threat of losing it, can do funny things to some people's outlooks.

FPTP should be ditched because it isn't fit for purpose when it comes to the most important stakeholders ie voters/constituents.

Y’all! A new level of annoying your boo has been unlocked!
