Do you really think those people who couldn't be arsed to vote were all remainers?

Not seeing the relevance to the arts still. But, hey, Polanski is the only politician pushing on Reform and Russia, definitely a matter of national security if they form a Government. Also they are the party of climate change denial. So, yes, fair to bring up NATO, but there's other security issues

And that is relevant to the arts, how?

And so it starts. Unsubstantiated, nonsensical attacks. Only demonstrates your fear. If you have even the tiniest bit of evidence of right wing funding, tell me in a reply.

What's with those feet? And why has my blue sky started speaking French?

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time.

Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

And has disowned one of his own children....

Really wouldn't worry about being attacked by Tice (I'm sure you don't!)

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.”

Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I've said this before, but it needs saying again, I've never heard Tice say anything intelligent , about anything. Never ceases to amaze me that a man can get it so wrong and still have a platform.

Also, sadly, the day the leader of the tory party dismissed depression as a serious disability.

I actually wrote that line down after she said it, just so I knew I hadn't imagined it

So weird, like Trump using Springsteen and Tories quoting Orwell.

Anyone listening to Badenochs speech? She's acquired a really disturbing chuckle

It's weird isn't it, how many people we are told are super intelligent manage to say stupid things. Do that sketch!

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5).

An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

I loved the 70s , but I will admit there's probably quite a lot I've blanked..

Good report, but mostly I'm just a little amazed to find there's a magazine called 'Parking Review'!

My cure for the state of the world is to buy a dog, secure matching furniture, and then occasionally go and look at him during the working day to remind yourself that everything might be OK.

Great work. Make sure someone tells Matt Goodwin!

Ok, I wouldn't for a second doubt your experience, but I don't think you can generalise from it. I think that most people are happy to live and let live, but a noisy minority get too much attention. I hope we're really on the same side!

Completely, absolutely no criticism implied.

I'm not sure seeing them both in the same room is an experience I would survive ..

And, I need to say, if they were, that would be fine too x

Ian, I love it when you're angry. And I've said this before on here, but I'll keep on saying it: I've never heard Tice say one intelligent thing. My least favourite person in UK politics. Maybe just my least favourite person (it's a high bar)

That's an entirely unsubstantiated statement. I don't deny both institutional and individual racism, but 'always shared by many'? No, something has changed and quickly .

Heard a Times Radio interview recently where the issue was too many people having to pay speeding fines. Didn't seem to occur to either party that the issue was, in fact, too many people speeding.

Wonderful writing as ever, Frances, thank you
