@nickynoo007.bsky.social Thanks for following me again, Nicky. I had not realised you were until I checked just now. I am a lot better now after five years or more of heart problems and eye problems but i have still had two hospital appointments in the last two weeks or so.

More British Exceptionalism, mixed with Cakeism. Will our politicians ever learn?

"the prime minister, whose job it is to shape public opinion, not cower before it"
The best summary of Starmer's premiership.
What was the point of such a large majority if you're not willing to use it to do and say the right things.

I think he has just pardoned someone who had been imprisoned for, or accused of trafficking billions of dollars' worth of drugs into the US, while, at the same time virtually going to war with Venezuela to stop it exporting drugs into the US.

It’s my birthday!
Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

@kacidama.bsky.social Hi Kaci, I was out all day for a hospital appointment. Got held up in the traffic and missed it. Hope to chat tomorrow. Shame about City getting knocked out of the CL, wasn't it? 😆

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Shabana Mahmood went on TV and told everyone, smugly, that she doesn't read her social media. It is part of her job to do so. I won't be reading anymore of her right wing Brexiter crap if she can't be bothered to read the replies. You lost my vote when you accepted Brexit.

Oh diddums. The poor little Johnsons. He’s being vaguely held to account for his grossly negligent time in office. And she doesn’t feel rich. Boo fucking hoo.
Meanwhile, our country would be so much happier today if that family had never had a whiff of power.

Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

Brian Redhead; not John Redwood. I was not fully awake when I posted that!
I used to listen to the Today program every day when John Redwood presented it. I could not stand all the Tory shills on there after he died, shouting at anyone who did not agree with them.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR.
This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
