Would be far more accurate to call them people who buy Newspapers polls.

Almost all the UK's polls are biased towards Reform because they pick their 'random' selection from people who buy print/online Media, they are overwhelmingly older and Right Wing.

So Reform's polls and what they will actually get is much lower.

The ones in the hats
were the fattest of cats,
and their honks and their hoots
Would grow in cahoots
In a place they all called Maralago!

Till the orange skinned fellow
Or it could have been yellow
Would bend at the knees
And release his foul breeze
In a curse he had cursed at Chicago

BAFTA winner from Basildon here. Couldn't have done it without TIE/YPT provision in schools, without full (non-loaned) grant for university, without some basic state provision without hassle when I was finding my feet...all of which has gone. Invest in creativity.

Pretty much every Culture Secretary we've had since the post was created has reinforced my impression that our frontline politicians simply do not know or care about culture.

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

Arguably the best photo I’ve ever taken of an ominous stranger on horseback approaching lazy cattle on a chalk hilltop beneath an irascible sky.

I took this photo of this mysterious rider on Hod Hill in north Dorset, the July before last. I'd been to a party the night before, sustained what is still only my second proper hangover this decade, and climbing big mystic hills proved to be the best of all cures. However the specifics of my mental state did make the approach of this dark figure seem particularly ominous, until she greeted me with a cheery hello and moved on her way towards the village of Fifehead Magdalen.

‘A Georgian space in Perpendicular form, long, uniform, well-lit – it might be a schoolroom.’ This is how Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the famous architectural historian, described St Mary’s, Long Crichel in Dorset.

Sorry... is this a thing? Having one party to a ceasefire turn it off and on like a f*cking light switch?

Stars and Stripes @starsandstripes.bsky.social · 2d

Israel's military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 66 women and children, according to local health officials.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly.

“I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the Government - or, indeed, any MP keeps its official account on Musk’s X

Or, indeed, any patriotic person.

This is him today: Stirring up civil war in the U.K.

Nothing more British than telling fascists, racists & rotters to fuck right off

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 3d

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Tax the rich - it’s really not that hard. Introduce a wealth tax, including off shore and use the money to improve public services. Renationalise the water companies, stop the supermarkets ripping off the public
