Send to be the sameI Blackpool. Loads along the prom, look a mess. But the Labour council, who took them down when they were put up outside the council offices, do nothing.
@chriswebbmp.bsky.social needs to have a word.

Probably a bit of a sore point.

But they don’t care about quality. It’s all performative. They just want numbers to intimidate and worse. There is no accountability, so the vetting and training is just tokenism.

Of course they aren’t. They’re just seeing the headlines on tv and in the Mail and Express.

I'd get one of these, but it would leave imprints in the sofa.

Waste of public funds. Can only wear one at a time. Maybe give two, to allow for washing.

Somebody please explain US politics to me.

In the UK, govt is formed from elected representatives incl the Prime Minister and all Secretaries of State.
Each is elected by a constituency of roughly the same number of voters.

The US has a CEO President who appoints a board of non-elected management.

This slipped under the radar a couple of days ago.

Ofcom backs away from change to rule over politicians acting as presenters

Ofcom will not change rules setting out when politicians can act as news presenters after concerns it would result in a "de facto ban".

GB News will soon have an interview with someone who was there the last time.

Serious question @zackpolanski.bsky.social:

Reform have shown that even with a popular front man, whether you agree with him or not, they simply don't have competent people being elected to represent them.
So how do you get candidates of the right calibre, with the right qualities and competency?

This is getting silly now. The ballroom will clearly look nothing like this.
There are no big screen TVs, no digital advertising boards, no coke machines.

It means nothing because the mainstream media are controlling the narrative. Even yesterday, BBC were interviewing grannies in Wales about why they were switching from Labour to Reform; nobody is telling them they are being manipulated and lied to.

There's a good point here. Whether or not you agree with his politics, @zackpolanski.bsky.social is consistently consistent. He's sharp, straight, prepared, focused and answers without deflection or obfuscation.
Surely that's the least we should expect from ALL politicians, whatever party?

James @jamesbfg.bsky.social · 14h

Zack Polanski consistently knocks it out of the park. Level-headed, concise, considered and diplomatic while also being fiercely unwavering in his values. This is what a leader looks like #newsnight

Ten people trapped in a lift in Sainsbury’s for two hours. Zero communication at all for the first hour.
Here’s Sainsbury’s response.

Somebody please explain why there's VAT on laxative teas, but not ordinary tea.
And who even has the time to even think about and discuss this stuff, let alone type it up in a government document?

Steve (unofficial) @steveunofficial.bsky.social · 1d

I guess it depends on whether they had Jaffa Cakes or Chocolate Fingers.

Nah. That's like getting a new sofa. Once you get used to it, you wonder why you went through the expense and hassle of changing it.
