Twexiled South Yorkshire lass who ran for the hills but secretly would rather be French. Sometime birder and Starmerite (without being all tribal about it). Doesn’t suffer fools or eat gammon. #FBPE

Hmmm. Sort of. The foundation of the freedom of men perhaps. The freedom of women, not so much.

Unfortunately, highlighting Farage’s admiration for Orban will not cut the mustard with the stupids. They’ve never heard or Orban. And Hungary is what they are when they go into Greggs.

I suspect this is an argument too oblique for the dimwits to grasp.

How US fried chicken craze is transforming British takeaways An internet craze for American-style chicken has come to the UK, but what does it mean for traditional chippies?

The right-wing obsession with cultural erasure doesn't extend to protecting British fish and chips from replacement by US fried chicken!

Not to mention integrity, gravitas on the world stage, the ability to hold their nerve and give their detractors enough rope… and a small ego.

Scratch hard enough and it’s clear the attitudes and proclivities of royalty/the aristocracy haven’t changed since the days of the medieval robber barons. They stole everything they own, still live off the backs of the people, and maintain a sense of entitlement extending to life and death itself.

Perhaps younger people buying into the ‘it’s just winter/summer’ tropes genuinely can’t remember a time when it didn’t rain continuously for weeks on end?

Every woman of childbearing age needs to know about this ⬆️ because it is straight from the MAGA playbook, alongside the criminalization of abortion and no/limited access to contraception. And we don’t want that kind of shit over here!

Keir Starmer ‘needs a miracle’ to stay on as prime minister, says Labour MP amid Mandelson scandal - UK politics live Pressure continues to build on Keir Starmer and his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney

Exactly this. Farage/Reform appeal to a specific demographic (being charitable here), and Labour cannot win them back. But Reform support has a ceiling and floating voters in marginal seats are a different matter. And it’s those people that win and lose elections.

Nope. Like her though I do, and despite loving the idea of a female Labour PM, given global geo-politics our country needs a calmheaded tightrope walker with gravitas to walk the world stage. That person is not Angela Rayner. It is Keir Starmer.

Not just powerful, rich and influential men I’m afraid. Somewhere between 80 and 90 per cent of ALL heterosexual men would be my guess. Almost all of them overtly or tacitly interact with women via the lens of sex.

It so would! Starmer’s powerful speech this morning demonstrated, again, that he understands the horrors of CSE better than most, and his work as DPP, paved the way for many convictions.

Starmer apologises to Epstein victims as he seeks to weather Mandelson scandal PM says he is sorry for believing ‘lies’ told by former Labour minister when he appointed him US ambassador

Some Labour MPs should be thinking a little more about the victims rather than using Mandelson as an excuse to go ‘on manoeuvres’. And they should be raising questions about Farage and Nick Candy’s appearances in the Epstein Files.

I’d venture Johnson’s bunga bunga parties at the Lebedevs, and his enoblement of Lebedev junior, and the jailing of Nathan Gill were more consequential still.

Yep. And the population of Rotherham is older and sicker than the national average. So they want fewer staff in their hospitals, clinics and care homes. And Rotherham no longer qualifies for EU Regional Development Funds either! But yeah…. flags.

Thing is, flags (and deporting all the migrants) will do three fifths of sod all to change that reality. They make matters worse. Streets adorned with flags tell of a largely undereducated, narrow minded, insular, racist workforce. They say: Don’t invest here.

The most horrific thing of all is the number of very ordinary men who secretly a relish a trip to the island where they could just grab a woman or girl by the pussy, no questions asked. My guess is it’s a frighteningly large number.

I did wonder myself. Nigel looks all red faced and out of breath. Like he’s been for a jog…. or something. But he’d spill his pint if he did that.

Keir Starmer is not in the Epstein Files. He must deal with Mandelson; yes, absolutely. But the Epstein Files should be the catalyst for major reform, beginning, but certainly not ending, with the House of Lords.
