Should you fancy it, I'll be filling in for Richard Spurr on @lbc.co.uk tonight...1am - 4am UK time (or 8pm - 11pm Washington time. Call me, text me, Alexa me as we - among many other things - look forward to Trump's State of the Union Address on Tuesday night.

Now there’s a character.

"UK Politics"* is a Starmerrhoid arselicker who might block me after I called his post a puff piece, so I took this screenshot to preserve the context.

* Sounds unbiased, right? But known to troll threads about The Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election, in order to spread Starmerrhoid drivel.

I agree with Tom. mandelsohn can frankly fuck off

Mandelson acted against the interests of the state for personal gain, gave confidential information to others to use against the chancellor of the exchequer &is beyond redemption

He shouldn't be in the House Of Lords, he should be in Big House.

A brilliant article that everyone commenting about Iran should read. The Iranian government is not your friend, and never will be, unless you happen to be a clerico-fascist enthusiast of mass torture and mass murder. But weirdly, many in the West who claim to be on the left seem to support it.

So Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer are both canvassing in Gorton and Denton.

Nigel Farage is in the Maldives and no one knows where Matt Goodwin is.

Have Reform thrown in the towel already?

Mark Steel reminds us of

“The town that does not stare”

and the common desire for a

“Coalition of Kindness”

Thanks to @boldpolitics.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Like Zack Polanski, Hannah Spencer talks a lot of down-to-Earth sense. The Greens are so lucky to have politicians like them, while the other parties just spread lies and hate Spencer and Polanski generate hope. I’m proud to be a member of the party.

The final weekend before the crucial Gorton & Denton election.

The only party leader to show up, support their candidate and hit the ground canvassing - @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Where was Keir Starmer? @lucympowell.bsky.social

No sign of Nigel Farage (or Matt Goodwin).

Greens deserve to win.💚

I am still keen, in the face of some opposition, to do a phone-in about what precisely is wrong with Truss.
(If you’re not familiar with the show, we try to avoid questions that invite obvious & singular answers. The worry is that this question might be squarely in that zone.)

Ah. He claimed to be sending a ‘hospital ship’ to help Greenland because Greenland was literally helping a US submariner. What a hideous fraud he is.

"Never mind the bins not being collected, Mr Farage, what about the Chagos Isles?" said no one in Clacton. Ever.

They should have let him in and arrested him for planning a terrorist attack on a MOD facility

If Palestine action can be proscribed, so can farage and reform

Lock him up forever

Johnson? The man who isn’t even an MP any longer? He resigned rather than face Parliament. What the hell is he doing on Kuenssberg? Where the hell is Lisa Nandy? BBC promotion of these nauseating selfserving individuals needs to be tackled. They are funded by us to be impartial..

Good morning.

Public Warning: Charter-City and Free-Zone Developments Carry Documented Risks to Communities This is a public-interest warning, not an allegation against any named individual or organisation.

The Tories and Labour colluded on a nationwide rollout of free zones not long after Brexit.

Morning Bluesky.

The Labour leadership and HQ knew from the start they would lose Gorton and Denton, but they now seem more scared of Greens winning than those fascists at DeformUK.

Reform could gain another MP this Thursday. That's why we're urging Labour, Lib Dem, & other party supporters to lend their vote to the Greens this time in Gorton & Denton. We've carried out extensive research and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.

Can’t believe it’s 24 years. What an actor.

He left us 24 years ago today.
Never forgotten, mate. 🙌 x

They were always right-wing, of course. But both used to contain quality journalism. With the Spectator, the rot set in as soon as Johnson became editor. It's got worse since. And the Telegraph is now little more than a tabloid masquerading as a broadsheet.

This is absolute gold

L: Scoop in The Telegraph yesterday boasting: “The Telegraph has learnt that the King urged his mother, Elizabeth II, to veto the appointment but his warnings that it would end in disaster were ignored”
R: Flunkey’s column from Eye 1668, three weeks ago.

Stay ahead of the news; buy the Eye.

Terror In The White House Epstein investigations are coming in the back door

“At some point a critical mass will be reached — perhaps when new, damning information surfaces in testimonies. Everyone in the White House knows this. Trump knows it.”

#ReformUK accepts millions 💷 from #OilAndGas interests. Farage say he'd abolish all spending on #NetZero, likely ending public investment in renewable energy, home insulation, electric vehicle charging, programmes to reduce pollution & walking & cycling infrastructure

Reform flop to 3%
Starmer's Tories rightly second to the Greens.

In December, the UK Government rejected all of the recommendations made by the UK’s statutory nature conservation bodies in its response to the Seventh Quinquennial Review of Schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (QQR7).
