#Gorton&Denton is in safe hands. @reformuk.bsky.social been seen off. But let’s not be complacent about the dangers of #FPTP voting system. Maybe ask yourself why Labour aren’t talking about fixing that. England needs #proportional voting system. @compassoffice.bsky.social

Really that should be England.... Scotland and Wales have PR in place. But not for the one UK-wide election - Westminster. @compassoffice.bsky.social

In the light of #Gorton&Denton by-election - where, yes, the best candidate won - let’s not forget the dangers of #FPTP voting systems. England needs #proportionalvvotingsystem Are you listening @labouruk.bsky.social ? Probably not.

The Scottish independence dial is now moving, slow by surely towards the inevitable resounding majority for YES

Since May 2025 absolutely every* pollster has shown majority support for YES

(*Excluding Tory YouGov, who bizarrely haven’t shown majority for YES since March 2021)

If only there was a film about Tourette’s Syndrome, oh yes that’s right there is. FFS when he met the Queen to receive an award he shouted out, Fuck the Queen 😳🀣

Did he really? I can’t understand the hoohah about this. It’s as if everyone has become deaf to what the film is trying to communicate about Tourette’s.

I do think the Archers tackles some difficult topics and does it well. I’m not so keen on Dead Ringers, brilliant though they are at times.

My husband goes for Archers first. It was through him that I first listened to it. Him being an Englishman from Worcestershire whose family were incredulous that I didn’t know anything about it. I’d go for News Quiz first but we switch it around since both are recorded.

I think Toby was looking after her tonight for the party. Josh is definitely peeved. Can’t make Zack out.

Hey do you think George will turn in his recording to the police?
