Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk just called Tim Montgomerie from Reform "Timmo".

Timmo then called Tommy Robinson a "rough diamond".

Just two guys shooting the breeze. Will be the same when Farage swings by the show tomorrow...

Rancid.

Just listening to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Radio 4 speaking to Evan Davies.

I once sat behind Evan on the bus as we chugged round Shepherds Bush Green.

It was in 2005 so he may have forgotten our chat 20 years later.

Evan is giving Zack a fair interview.

Nice guy convos rock!

Brilliant news!

Gone time for a Labour MP to cross the chamber and sit with the Green Group.

For political theatre just before the budget speech would be 🔥

BRAND NEW 🍏 How Do You Like Them Apples? 🍎

From the Garden of Hesperides to the Garden of Eden, from the Atalanta and the Trojan War to The Beatles and the iPhone, apples are laden with often conflicting symbolism.

This promises to be excellent.

And BTW, next time some wag says "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", remind them that when Eris rolled an apple in front of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, it led to bickering which ultimately kicked off the Trojan War slaughter-fest.

I actually have some sympathy for Christian May.

Poor guy has to speak to
Nick Ferrari everyday on his tired old cornflake show on @lbc.co.uk

Not much fantasy down

Surely the City can come up with something more interesting to keep trying to attack me with?

Cut bills. Tax billionaires.

I was a lifelong Labour voter - a traditional fit for an advice worker. I do not agree w the extreme right wing policies. Final straw has been the persecution of disabled people and those on low income, in order to protect the people who line their pockets *waves @zackpolanski.bsky.social*

I don't play bingo being more of a pickleball convert these days.

But, if I did, I wouldn't have had a @zackpolanski.bsky.social Observer front page on my bingocard this morning!

I didn't buy, it as I'm not made of money, but it was good to see it there all the same!

When I first read this piece by @josiah.writes.news I nearly spat out my green tea as I missed the comma in

'speaking in Brighton this PM, Zack Polanski has...'

and thought that overnight @zackpolanski.bsky.social had missed quite a few rungs of the political ladder!
