@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, are we about to repeat the mistakes made in the USA?
An unpopular leader defeated by an uneasy alliance voting for a safe, stable option from a past era.
The result 4 yrs later? Perceived ineffectiveness leading to a far more extreme version of what was voted out.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social feels like the media tail wagging the Labour dog. Unbalanced, negative coverage of Starmer (+ unceasing opposite of Farage) is panicking insiders. Rather than improving their own media & PR messaging, they're after a personality politician to counter it. Boris all over again.

Don't misunderstand me. I've been angry with some things Labour have done/attempted to do but I can also see improvements and, in truth, a lot of Labour & Starmer's issues are caused by poor PR & hostile media.
This feels like Labour looking for a 'character' politician to counter Farage in panic.

Speculation about a leadership challenge to Starmer from Wes Streeting?
Really?
Putting to one side the stupidity of Labour doing this 17 months in to a complete country salvage operation...
.. it's Streeting. Has always seemed an ingenuous, untrustworthy mixture of Blair & Cameron. No thanks.

Mysteries of 00s dance music:
- I still don't know what my boing is and why Craig David is all over it.
- Whatever the clean edit claims, Mylo is STILL saying "Motherfuckers gonna drop under pressure..."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, was on a Reddit UK news board when the story dropped - flooded with false stories & claims against muslims within minutes.
Bots or actual people? No idea but was very clear the attempt to steer the narrative on social media is highly co-ordinated & sadly overwhelming.

It's hard to get annoyed at any players as they're sacrificial lambs here. Clear our fitness and concentration has dropped off towards end of half and Palace have asserted themselves. Shocking selection, no help on the bench. Feel sorry for players like Chiesa and Rio and fans attending. #LFC

Having a look at this Baller League. Not gonna lie, John Terry walking out to a diss track alongside a rapper aimed at the opposition manager is just about the cringiest thing it could have started with for me. Still, we'll persist...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social apols if you've already covered the story James (been unable to listen this wk) but this Professor James Orr individual seems someone worth having a close look at on the show - his appointment by Farage should be setting off major alarm bells given his views & links to others.

As I get older there are many things I appreciate now that I didn't before.
One of them? Orbital's 'Nothing Left Parts 1 & 2'. Played together? The perfect club track. 16 minutes of absolute premium electronic dance quality with the most phenomenal breakdown when the parts cross over.
