"research shows she would be wise to"
That pretty much rules it out then 🙄

because nobody else seems to be saying what he is saying with such gusto. I'm probably more aligned to Ed Davey but Zack is pretty inescapable at the moment. Definitely the anti-Farridge 2/2

The way you put it here Alex, is pretty much how Lewis Goodall put it to Zack in an interview I listened to yesterday. Left-wing populism is how he described it. If the definition of populism is saying whatever it will take to get you elected then that's bad. However, I feel drawn to Zack 1/2

"Absolutely!"

Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee I assure you she’s delusional. She can thank @realDonaldTrump anytime just to set the record straight.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions I would like to acknowledge the vital role of the United Kingdom in assisting and coordinating efforts that have led us to this historic day in Israel.

No, thank you! You've even made me bite the bullet and arrange a winter solstice sunrise trip to Castlerigg - I've wanted to do it for years.

That sounds like a great approach! The quality of the writing makes it easy to imagine you're there - at any of the points in the history of these sites.

Could have been President Bush, which would fit with 2008, and the term Mr Big I suppose, but Bush has denied meeting Leftky that night so... 🤷🏼‍♂️ Who are you thinking?

Me too...

And the absolutely amazing Palestinian artist Malak Mattar ♥️ 🇵🇸

This work is just stunning 😍

Me: So you fashioned this footwear for an actor noted for his wild hair and facility for playing unhinged villains, but who’s also an amazing dancer?

Cobbler: Yes, these boots were made for Walken

If you vote Reform you will be voting against women’s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isn’t enough)

Remember 41% of the Farage Foot Soldiers arrested in last summer’s disgraceful riots had already been REPORTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE

Farage and the equally disgusting Douglas Carswell (the patriot who lives in the USA by the way)

It's even more Trumpian than this! @mrjamesob.bsky.social did a montage a few weeks ago of Trump saying 'in two weeks', it went on for so long... 🫩

Temu Trump 🤯

Starmer is not a vibes politician. Unlike Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson, he does not thrive on bombast, misdirection, or indeed, charisma. His political case rests on showing tangible improvements in people’s lives. So he needs to hurry up.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

Please know that there isn’t a shred of scientific evidence suggesting Covid vaccines cause cancer.

Please disregard this man’s rubbish - he doesn’t work for the NHS & why the GMC hasn’t struck him off long ago baffles innumerable NHS doctors like me. 2/4

I don't know what I find more unbearable, the callers or the hosts that don't challenge them.
