Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

An update on the current Covid situation in England and state of the NHS… Basically, we’re in a significant wave and if you’re “in bed with flu”, it’s almost certainly Covid. https://christinapagel...

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

Pearl Withington in her Women's Air Auxiliary Force uniform. She is a white woman with her cap at a very nifty angle.

Shows exactly the methods of Farage, Robinson, Jenrick etc and their cronies - whipping up fear of the unknown for their own political advantage - no more, no less.

Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £882,390,082 so far this year! wastedwind.energy

Wasted Wind

Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

Not defending Starmer ( although lots of good things done too but public don’t know about them) but Starmer has PM responsibilities and Polanski has nothing to lose ( and comms so far excellent - he’s also ex actor which helps)

Good point! Who’s going to do this..?

Paul Lomax @paullomax.co.uk · Sep 8

Anyone interviewed Laure Ferrari’s conveyancing solicitors (like they did with Rayner’s) to find out how she passed the Anti Money Laundering checks and proved the source of funds were hers? If Farage paid for it, he’d already declared himself the beneficial owner in the press - so an implied trust!

Patricia Munn @patriciam.bsky.social · Sep 7

I think this is excellent..

This whole AR episode reinforces my view that part of the curriculum should be basic financial skills and information. Eg what is tax,credit, stamp duty, probate-role of the conveyancing solicitor and what they do. Most people will only deal with solicitors for house sales and purchases,wills etc

Patricia Munn @patriciam.bsky.social · Sep 6

Ok Labour comms -no small boat crossings for the last 7 days.. why are we not hearing more about this?

Patricia Munn @patriciam.bsky.social · Sep 6

PM strengthened the code and made the process independent because of what happened above. AR self referred and accepted the report’s conclusions. If PM had not accepted conclusion we’d be back to square one
