Nothing profound to write – just try to point out reality. Hate Brexit – no time for its proponents.

Like most of us the rich tend to build their worldview around their own interests. (Welfare = taxes on me so bad).
But their interests diverge more from the majority than the norm. And they have fewer people around them willing to point out when they're wrong.

We don’t have a functioning democracy when the people who lied to our faces to ‘get Brexit done’ are never held to account for the damage they’ve caused… and, worse still, are rewarded for life, for cynically or moronically selling our country out.
They deserve nothing but our contempt. Forever.

Not only that but the EU is fast extricating itself from the USA, so it really is about time for the UK to make up its mind which side it's on and DO something about it. As Macron said yesterday, kowtowing to Trump doesn't work.

Why tf has it taken anyone from Labour, ›18 months from a 5 year term to say this. It should have been in the 2024 manifesto, FFS!
It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

The IOC banned this helmet which memoralises those Ukrainian athletes murdered by Russia. Yet Russians compete as "neutrals." The IOC is a debased depraved organisation. Ukrainians should not have to compete with their murderers.

Listening to Andrew Bowie on @lbcnews.bsky.social this morning, I think this just about sums up his assessment of Starmer's situation.
Tbf, I think he made mistakes before the GE 2024, (i.e. EU redlines in the manifesto & commitment not to raise personal taxes) in addition to employing Mandelson.

If Starmer wants to improve UKG comm's, all he'd need to do is televise the daily lobby briefings… a professional version of the 'Bimbo Karoline Leave-it' show, if you like – so that Joe Public can hear the messages first hand, rather than being fed the biased and toxic bile of the UK media.

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments.
Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation.
That’s his plan for the rest of us.
