Drew to some. Andrew to others.
It all depends on the radio era & station + the country and the need to disambiguate!

Hello to all ex X! Nice to see you here.
Very curious to see when Gemini chooses to describe someone who has completely reversed their position on something over time as having "evolved their thinking" - rather than being a bloody hypocrite.

What would would lead to that distinction?

Lot in common with Water & Transport. Those with no meters have no incentive to reduce use, so others pay more than fare share. For motors, those without cars still pay for roads, & those driving excessive miles in heavy vehicles (4th power rule) trash & congest roads, so less safe for others

If anyone feels like a dose of positivity.. INCLUDING in the social comments..

may I recommend this beautiful video from London, featuring the mayor and a simply lovely kid getting the chance to meet him?

Iceland Foods pick-up post after Trump's 4x "mis-speak" swapping Greenland for Iceland got so little engagement on X.

Twitter used to the place such things would fly without fail.

58 likes. 3500 views. From 208000 followers.

Does that not make it abundantly clear how screwed visibility is now?

What's going on with these accounts?

Are these posts coming from one very conflicted and changeable head?

Or are they being pumped out to multiple accounts in shifts, explaining why they are totally inconsistent?

I love that Trump was in Switzerland and said they should thank the USA, otherwise they’d all be speaking German. The primary language of Switzerland is German. What a total fucking loser!

You might imagine Tom Skinner, who formed a high-profile mental health support group, might have at least checked Reform's position on mental health funding and help before trumpeting his new affiliation so widely, but no.

I really hope tomorrow will be the day James starts calling the party "TORYFORM“
There was, of course, absolutely nothing to stop these Tories resigning when their own Party was literally in the middle of doing all the things they now claim to be so unhappy about.

I keep hearing about all the money Africa 'owes us' and India & Pakistan 'owe us'...

but nobody seems to care that:
"the UK's gross external debt at £8.195 trillion (8,194,947 GBP million) as of Q3 2025, per the Office for National Statistics. This is debt owed to foreign entities."

@simonmarksfsn.bsky.social Simon, I can't tell if it's a one man production, a team of 2 or even 20 that makes your 10 minute weekly masterpiece!

But the structure, the flow and the clarity of script are all so sharp and consistent, that it stands out as EXCELLENT week after week.

Thank you for it

Why watch rolling news air repeated footage on a loop and ponder undigested significance with pundits in the blue & red corner, hour after hour?

This carefully crafted 10 minute digest of America's week aka Trump's week aka the world's biggest events has THE FULL PICTURE.

And it's a rollercoaster!
Saturday call for my "American Week", which I'm delighted to say more than 220,000 people have now watched or heard on-demand since yesterday. You can find it here:

If you're still over at 'the other place'..

It's worth noting that Reform even have a post on their timeline about the need to force a by-election in the event of a MP's defection:

Trying to persuade UK government to let them do whatever they want
At a guess
In other words, let’s do what the fuck we want drain you extract your wealth
And feed you right wing bullshit
And get away with it
Google executives have held high-level ministerial meetings with UK government ministers every single week for more than two years. What on earth do people think they are they doing?

Nothing makes sense any more.

2010 - Sadiq Khan & Shabana Mahmood visited their parents' birth country to appeal for donations & support following floods.

Now this has "resurfaced" as if it proves something about their 'true loyalty' as one put it.. and plenty of commenters think it's a 'gotcha'🤷

Very disappointed.. even a local history society group on FB, which always been a place to find unusual or hitherto unseen slides & films from personal collections going back many decades, is allowing an AI post "bringing to life" an old street scene..

cars moving strangely & all the usual slop.

Yes pretty much - US *Space Force* owns it, technically. I am not sure the extent to which specific UK DAB services still rely on GPS. Need to look into that again. But certainly it has long been a point of contention www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...
UK 'over-reliant' on GPS signals, engineers warn
Too many applications in Britain rely solely on GPS for their positioning and timing information, warns a Royal Academy of Engineering report.

ALL 6 Reform MPs were Tories.
Farage for 14 years. Tice for most of his adult life.
Anderson was still deputy chair of Tories at start of 2024.
Kruger, Dorries, Jenkyns etc.

Zia Yusuf was still a Conservative member AFTER HE BECAME REFORM CHAIR!

And activists are only catching on to it now?
Sheesh
