Definitely not a spy. Optimistic, but tired political nerd. Lover of Podcasts. Also make mad good gumbo.
Had my first real BluSky debate today - Hard pressed but we got there in the end. Two sides, disagreeing to the point of agreement, eventually. We're all on the same side. It just takes a little conversation to get there. I encourage those chats, they're enlightening.

Putin saying he's ready for war with the West is a sure-fire sign he's ready for nothing.

Reeves and Starmer should go. Theres no hope, no inspiration, no vision. After 5 years of following him, I still don't know what Starmism is. Forget the appeasement budget, they are beholden to institutions they have long since been rendered redundant.

How can you look at whats happening now and not take into account the last 15 years of piss poor Govt. choices. Austerity didnt work, Brexit didnt work, and whatever the Tesco store clerk that is the PM decides on going for, won't work. Shambles.

Well done to Labour for going all in on National ID's and Digitalising Accreditation. Let's showcase that we CAN do it well, that we CAN be safe and secure with people's data and personal information, let's SMASH IT! Life is better when we are connected, not separated.

The people in charge of Trump's administration are not normal. They couldn't care less about normal behaviour. No one will resign, no one will apologise, no one will conduct an inquiry. They'll blame Biden somehow, and tell you suck an egg ya liberal cucks. You left reality behind a long time ago.

His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.
