Londoner living in Puglia & enjoying a new Italian life but not yet unplugged from UK politics & current affairs. Hate Brexit, the Tories & now Reform but very enthused by ‘Zackitivism’ & the Greens! It’s a long story but had to start Bluesky again.
Brilliant …….
Robert Jenrick is the MP for Newark - the only constituency that is an anagram of wanker.

Farcical start to Reform press conference with the big Jenrick reveal. He was late. He then proceeds to bitch about his former shadow cabinet colleagues stabbing Priti Patel & Mel Stride very particularly in the front. Comedy on a Friday afternoon

So we have another Labour U-turn today on ID cards. At this rate the next one should be the binning of single judge juries idea. Another duff idea

Can people attracted to Reform really still see their support and votes as edgy and sticking 2 fingers up to the ‘system’ when the party is filling up fast with Tory failures and rejects?

Am finding the bare faced cheek of some frontline politicians absolutely breathtaking. Yesterday Peter Mandelson & today Nadim Zahawi. They really believe they have a divine right to continue to grift on and on & be in public eye. They have no shame whatsoever and this is why the UK is ‘broken’

Yet another tax dodging Tory grifter ‘defects’ (he is not an MP anymore & this term is wrong) to Reform, Nadim Zahawi. Another match made in heaven

It would seem that Peter Mandelson has taken up the mantle of being Chief Cheerleader for Trump on #BBCLauraK today. What a disgusting toad this man is & being given this platform to whitewash his friendship with Epstein with minimal push back from Kuenssberg. It should be over for the comeback kid

It is the first time on #BBCTheTraitors that I have wanted all of the traitors to be murdered or banished. They are all awful

Highly recommend the BBC drama #WaitingForTheOut but I do despair of the state of our Prison Service that I believe it accurately portrays. The generational impact of prison on families is heartbreaking

Very sad to hear today that the current full London Pensioner Freedom Pass is under threat. This precious benefit gave my late Mum so much joy when she got it, keeping her connected & interested in life & seeing her family & friends independently

Have caught up with the first 2 episodes of #BBCTheTraitors. Is it just me but am not really feeling it yet. Maybe the brilliant celebrity version was too recent & we need a longer break?

Starmer’s government doubles down on the inhumane, and much derided, decision to strip Shamima Begum of her British citizenship. The UK’s avoidance of its legal responsibility for all of its citizens is a badge of shame.

Shamima Begum: Home secretary to 'robustly defend' citizenship decision
The ECHR questions whether it was considered if Shamima Begum was a victim of grooming and trafficking.

I hope the ECHR looks positively at Shamima Begum’s British citizenship claim in 2026 as it’s revocation was wrong and unjust

This is frighteningly mad ….
Jesus Christ, if they remove 100 million people from the US where would your economy go?
Down the toilet. Your economy would twirl down the fucking toilet. Your state infrastructure would cease to exist.
The logic behind those Nazis is that there is no logic. AI has cooked their brains.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Absolutely! It is quite depressing to see the so called Left ‘hating’ on the resurgent Greens & @zackpolanski.bsky.social
He's wildly misrepresenting what Zack is saying though.
Polanski has never claimed the wealth tax is a solution for ALL our needs. But it WILL put £16-25bn into the pot that we don't have now.
If the Guardian put a decent journalist on this, they'd point that out.

Great summary of where we are …….
Scotland voted Remain. So did London, Northern Ireland, young people, graduates, and most major cities.
Brexit didn’t divide neatly by nation — it divided by age, opportunity, and exposure to the consequences.

This is Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt and he thinks it’s ok to hit a horse over the head. Make this ‘man’ famous.

Great question. Would love to see Vance asked this directly
Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.
