Quite the move isnโ€™t it, migrating to a war zone to avoid paying VAT on school fees and then letting a severely disabled teacher in a wheelchair cross a city under fire over the weekend to pay him what to her will be loose change. Who makes these people?

I would happily pay more council tax if my council replied to imbeciles in this way.

Snapped this statue of President FDR in The Bahamas ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ธ yesterday. He visited regularly.

You wonโ€™t find a single monument to Edward VIII, who was dispatched there as Governor to keep him miles away from Europe during WWII.

His tenure is, unsurprisingly, not remembered fondly.

I canโ€™t think of a better symbol of Reformโ€™s ambitions for Britain than a sideways flag hanging forlornly over a blocked drain.

From the people who brought you โ€˜sunlit uplandsโ€™.

No thanks.

Sunday #Beethoven

I am just rediscovering him after a 35 year absence.

Apologies for musical typos, I havenโ€™t learnt a score from music for decades.

I absolutely love his nobility.

This is superb from Keir Starmer.

As a Dad of boys, it spoke to me.

As a Prime Minister, he towers above all other options.

I donโ€™t think heโ€™s doing anything to improve the standard of debate. This is student politics, la la land

The sick irony of pasting their logo over a symbol of remembrance for people who fought and died to prevent the very kind of divisive, hate-driven intolerance they promote.

Why canโ€™t Sarah Ferguson live in Farageโ€™s house in Clacton as heโ€™s never there.

The Reeves story, whether you like her policies or not, is a nothing burger. A zip, nada, nope, move on.

Like not knowing you had to fill in a garden waste bin collection form or something.

Those who see this as Watergate showing themselves up to be the toddlers they are.

Every time Reform claims to be neither racist or fascist one of its ambassadors says something racist or fascist.

It's a matter of time before this risible Alf Garnett tribute act is rumbled and consigned to the dustbin of political history like its hard right forebears.

Sarah Ferguson deserves a royal house in the way that Liz Truss deserves a lifelong financial allowance.

Next general election is relatively simple:

If you oppose racism and the deepening of divisions in our society because they make Britain weaker not stronger, vote tactically for whichever candidate can block Reform.

All other considerations come behind this need. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

All the people who voted in Reform because they wanted big government efficiencies,
and more money to be spent on pot holes and improving local services will no doubt be thrilled that their new council is spending ยฃ75,000 on, er, flags instead. Absolute clown show. ๐Ÿคก

Thoughts with the people at the BBC who regard this worthy of an โ€˜in depthโ€™ piece of analysis on their โ€˜newsโ€™ homepage.

The BBC has been completely ruined.

The BBC thinks this worthy of its news homepage, but Iโ€™m still not seeing much about Reformโ€™s financial relationship with Russia. If we had a serious media we might not collectively drunkenly stagger from one idiocy to the next.

There should be a law that all far right racists must learn how to spell English words before they can buy an England flag or make a placard, thatโ€™ll soon clean the streets up. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Auto captions on a LinkedIn post I just saw called the President of Egypt โ€˜Frozen sushiโ€™ and I canโ€™t stop thinking about it.

Always makes me giggle that naive flag shaggers up and down the land fund all this and his many holidays. Utterly gullible fools.

Absolutely superb effort by all those who voted for this, many of whom are now dead.
