@sturdyalex.bsky.social laughing out loud at Reform is a thing of joy. 😂

“Is peace merely the absence of war? Or is it something else that involves prosperity, democracy, and the rule of law - a framework that means conflict can be resolved in a civilised way? That seems a more enduring vision than ‘we’ve stopped shooting at each other, for now’.”

David Bull just said on Politics Live that Reform have saved £100 million on taking away school transport from children who aren’t entitled to it. That seems an incredibly high number, that can’t be correct can it? The whole budget for Kent school transportation is £97.7 million for 25/26.

Can we convince you to continue your campaign against those who seek to get out of paying stamp duty, @thesun.co.uk? How about you, @telegraphnews.bsky.social? Surely, you're outraged about this, @dailymail.co.uk? Anyone?

UK 30 year gilt yield, down from the breathlessly reported 5.75%, is now 5.51%.

Not that you will hear this from all the journalist accounts who were gunning for Reeves all week.

Please share.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

This is staggering.

Real wages have grown more in the first 10 months of this Labour government than during the first ten years of Tory governments since 2010.

And not one apology from Conservative MPs for the mess they left us in today - shameful.

The Government should make building hundreds of thousands of council homes its defining purpose.

No other policy, achievable within a Parliament, would bring greater social and economic benefits.

The other rule is that this cretin has never understood the difference between climate and weather, and never will. She thinks she is smarter than scientists, the insurance industry, NASA, and the millions of people who are able to read and process evidence and facts. A moron.
