Ironic that her paternal grandparents were refugees in UK fleeing Nazis her grandmother's family Dutch Jews & her grandfather's German Socialists. With her policies implemented she would likely never have existed. Rank hypocrisy! @conservatives.bsky.social

St. George's Road every lampost with a racist flag, Anlaby, Boothferry Roads festooned with them. Are you removing them & prosecuting for the Highways Act offences? 🤷

You must be young & don't remember the trouble he & his ilk caused, so, no! 🤷

Quite what was "inspirational" about a far-right wing @uklabourparty.bsky.social MP jumping ship escaped me! & a lifetime sinecure in the feudal @ukhouseoflords.bsky.social likewise! 🤷

Google is your friend! 🤦 Lab MP for Lincoln, deselected 1972, fought by-election as "Democratic Labour" in 1973. Won again Feb 1974 but lost in October. Joined new SDP & then when this fused with Liberal Party became a member of LibDs. Not untypical journey for some rt-wing Lab members in 70's.

What happened to blue/white cast iron police telephone "box" put outside Pacific Exchange in High Street when it housed Humberside Police Authority? Did @humbersidepolice.bsky.social nab it back when PCC Hunter sold the building to @hullcitycouncil.bsky.social ? & If so what did they do with it?

No they don't! He was in 3 Parties, @uklabourparty.bsky.social Social Democrats then you! People who swap parties so casually have very flexible principles! 🤦

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Applause in the House of Commons is totally un-Parliamentary. Do none of these people ever read Erskine May? 🤦

My first official "Audit" of your efforts! 😉👍B-

"CapitOl" they were already in the capital pre-storming! 🤷

They dropped the actual crown! 🤷 Would a tiara do or is that not de rigeur? 🤔

Or we could just Rejoin?! Stick your courage to the sticking post Ed! 🤦

Letting him visit Windsor Castle was a bad move! Lets hope he never sees the Winter Palace in SPb! 🤦

A "brilliant"....? The mystery deepens! 🤔🤷

"Congress shall make no law concerning an establishment of religion" 1st Amendment. Presumably these opinions are impeachable, violating 🇺🇸 Constitution must surely be a "high crime & misdemeanour"? @housedemocrats.bsky.social

The "No Kings" thing is a bit 18C. All the most stable & prosperous European countries have one, its despotic Presidents ignoring term limits you need to worry about! Trump, Xi, Putin, Kim! 🤷

Its absolutely on the thermonuclear hit list! 😱😜

Kings are actually a feature of the most stable & economically prosperous European societies. Its deranged, vengeful Presidents who object to term limits, Trump, Xi, Putin, Kim you need to worry about! 🤷

What hope is there for a country which cannot spell diarrhoea because one more vowel is too complicated?! 🤦
See also labour, colour! 🇬🇧👍

We need to Rejoin EU! Bit pathetic that even Lib Dems can't say that clearly & unequivocally.

Please tell me Blancmange Brain is a Russki spion, it would totally make my day!🤣

They are though too authoritarian, perfectly possible to be centre-left & authoritarian. EG Following a classic Home Office playbook. They are also terrible Zionists complicit in a Genocide! 🤷

The really bad news, he was instrumental in getting Luke Campbell ex-Olympic boxer elected as Mayor of Hull & E. Yorks, when the guy is a dumb right-wing 💩 himself. No idea how to do the job like most of these Farridge RefUK candidates! 🤦

This really is not going to end well. Terrible idea from the start. Cllrs Ross & Handley were warned, chasing cash without thought for consequence & pandering to know-nothing local biznizmen! 🤦

Wouldn't worry, he'll never get the engine on his clown car to start! 🤦🤣

The idea that East Yorkshire was ever a "Labour heartland" is highly amusing. It has occasional islands of sanity but otherwise its a sea of Tories! 🤦🤣

Good analysis, though I'd go further, Handley is a relative novice too & likely more inclined to do deals with a Farageist Mayor. Otherwise complete stasis. However Labour Govt not likely to look kindly on that. IOW we are truly *ucked if he wins esp with super low turnout & poor mandate!

Sounds like s/he is way overstaffed. I increased the staffing of the PA I chaired for 5 years but it never had more than 6 staff! 🤷 With Members allowances & staff costs ~£500k

Scrapping PCCs, whilst commendable in itself would release no resources as policing would still need a democratic oversight mechanism which costs money. The old Police Authorities which were better, arguably cost more! 🤷
