@mrjamesob.bsky.social I meant to send you this last week, when struggling to pronounce the name of that Amsterdam football team!

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Surely +44 7 ??? Expect a lot of Pedant’s Corner correspondence!

This was satire back in the day, but now I think Jenrick, Lam and co see this is as party policy! youtu.be/hvoNa2tk3PE?...

Wishing our St Mary’s families and community a joyful Diwali!
May the Festival of Lights bring love, peace and hope to every home. ✨🪔

Oh!

Tel Aviv derby called off by police after 'violent riots' www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I’m reminded of the Not the Nine O’Clock News, Rowan Atkinson sketch, where he plays a Tory at the Conference discussing immigration!

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after 'discussion with King' In a statement, the prince says:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Were they listening to your show? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

@adammacqueen.bsky.social

@tomjam.bsky.social

Thank you to @privateeyenews.bsky.social for stating something I’ve been pointing out for the last week or so!

Bloody brilliant 👇

@thetrawl.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social I haven’t listened yet, but I trust that you pointed out to your listeners that Trump was never going to win this year’s prize, given that nominations closed on 31st January!

Agreed! I think certain politicians (in Tel Aviv and Washington) should listen to this series too!

291. Ancient Gaza: The Philistines (Part 1) Podcast Episode · Empire · 09/17/2025 · 45m

Another stellar series by my favorite podcast, @empirepoduk.bsky.social. Most especially bc @anitaanand.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social handle Gaza’s long and fascinating story with such sensitivity, nuance, and humility, traits many current commentators sorely lack

@mrjamesob.bsky.social You wouldn’t know this from seeing the front pages of Mail and Express today!
(And I bet they don’t mention the IMF’s view of #Brexit either)

As the ceasefire in Gaza comes into action, today's Empire episode goes back to the 1920s when the British occupied the region.

The Black and Tans, fresh from the Irish War of Independence, arrive in Mandate Palestine to violently impose imperial order, & tensions are rising...

All sorted! Thanks. 👍

@empirepoduk.bsky.social What has happened to episodes 8 and 9 of your #Gaza series?

Fly your flag people!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧

But if you didn’t fly it for the Lions…

Or the Lionesses

Or the Roses

Or Remembrance Day

Or VE Day

Or Team GB

Or the King’s Coronation

Then please do excuse us for questioning why TF you want to fly it now.

Just to confirm, the streets he filmed in are in the Aston ward - not even Birchfield or Handsworth!!

Just watched the Jenrick video on YouTube. It’s very misleading as the vox pops were filmed in Sutton Coldfield (same as the litter pickers). The streets of ‘Handsworth’ he filmed, whilst in B20, are really Aston/Witton - right by the Villa ground!
