Turns out Reform aren't the shoo-in Question Time and The Mail like to pretend they are. Voters can think for themselves and they just did.
And Labour? Now you know what happens when you pander to
'Trump lite'. The people say no.
Complacency is not a strategy.
Politics just got interesting.

Catching up on @thetrawl.bsky.social and nearly ruptured a lung when @jemmaforte.bsky.social said Mandelson was β€œwandering about in a dressing gown with his ball-bag hanging out”—I cackled so loud onlookers stared like I was either mid-MDNA climax or undergoing a exorcism. Outstanding broadcasting!

Another cracking episode from @thetrawl.bsky.social by @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social

It talks about Greenland being leaned on by Trump for his mates’ benefit.

The quoted Guardian article pretty much confirms it, along with a new, not-so-well-known donor.

The sight of Trump’s son in law declaring his β€˜vision’ for Rafah and Gaza with zero input from any Palestinians turns my stomach.

The news is mad. Dystopian. Surreal.

The US President is unhinged & dangerous.

Putin’s being left to his own devices.

A Dane said β€˜fuvk off’ in Parliament & it felt appropriate

Macron’s being tough…in aviators.

Netanyahu and Putin have been invited onto a board of peace. Ditto Blair

Help

Starmer maybe rightly doesn’t take bait each time but he needs an outrider - a semi-licensed β€œoff message” attack dog - to make Haw-Haw Farage pay for sucking up to the guy who denigrates British war dead.

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.
