Make them move to a less enormous free house?

Fun listening to 1950/60s Desert Island Discs. Everyone sounds posh, though now and then someone will say something like “Of course, we grew up in municipal housing in Manchester, you know. Father was a milkman, and mother took in laundry”.

Though whom do they imagine this brand appeals to? RefUKers/Tories will never switch to them, and they’re haemorrhaging traditional Labour voters to the Greens, Plaid, etc. Even putting basic decency aside, appeasement makes no sense. Caerphilly taught us that the way to beat RefUK is to fight them.

They’re not only pandering to RefUK’s far right agenda, they’re also aping their ‘who needs detail when a slogan will do?’ approach to policy announcements.

Never imagined a Labour govt could be this bleak.

‘Joked’ to someone earlier that Starmer, Mahmood and co should just cut to the chase and defect to RefUK, and then Kruger offered the invite. What the fuck has happened to the Labour Party?

Great job, Shanana. Now tell us how RefUK is doing a great job fixing potholes and how flags flying from lampposts really cheer up our streets.

Usually struggle with audiences going utterly bananas all the time on US podcasts’ live shows, but Obama’s welcome here was v moving. Many thanks.

The group has recently joined other far right protesters at Caerphilly and at their regular hatefest at Cardiff Airport, shouting racist and other violent abuse at Afghan families temporarily housed at the airport there - apparently all legal, so police let them carry on.

Always like the term ‘substance abusers’. Implies there’s a correct way to use a drug, but that some people are doing it really badly.

Universities offering overpriced, poor quality courses?

Does the govt think this will somehow appease RefUKers *and* not horrify reasonable people?

Jonathan’s big tell was when he said to Stephen “If I get banished tonight, look to [whoever it was]”, when he meant to say ‘murdered’.

This. Is. A. Disgrace!

He does the thing with the wig and explains the magical transformation from civilian to “Arbiter of the Law” that happens when a judge pops one on, and then has a big whine based on what they do *as civilians* (or do they only Tweet bewigged?). His panto preamble defeated his whole daft point.

Fun that RefUK is obsessively claiming the PM is obsessed with them, though.
October 2, 2025 at 9:47 AM
If that’s how you feel, yes.
October 1, 2025 at 9:28 AM
Still is.
