As always, a thoughtful and interesting post from @rolandmcs.bsky.social, but I'm sure he'd accept there is more to say. It wasn't just that Vote Leave included different views, or that it radicalised during the referendum campaign and afterwards. 🧵 1/8

#Cheltenham Day 3. No joy in the published tips so far and going for a swing at big prices on Nemean Lion in the Stayers today. 34 on Betfair has gone (for now) only trading at 24.

#Cheltenham Day Two (after a losing bet on day one). Kappa Jy Pyke is a huge price each way in the market without Final Demand. 25/1 at #Betfair

#Cheltenham Day One. Bet of the day is undoubtedly Gala Marceau each way at 14/1 at #Betfair sportsbook market without Lossiemouth or Jade de Grugy. She has faced the odds on fav six times and come within 7 lengths or beaten her five of those times. She could come in fifth and we’ll still collect.

This is the problem with the timidity and fake balance of BBC political coverage. A historic betrayal of Ukraine to Russia by Europe's former ally is boiled down to an utterly superficial row about a man's clothes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fix things and make life better and stop pandering to Reform.

🔥 FINALLY!

The BBC are finally doing the public education service on Brexit that they always should have.

Just thinking about Monday 20th Jan and the inauguration. From roughly lunchtime (UK time) I’ll be taking myself off social media and news channels for at least 36 hours.

For your sanity, I suggest you do too.

It is good to know that my takedown video really did get to him. He's absolutely never acknowledged me before.

If you want to see what's getting him so mad, here it is (I'd really love it to reach 10k views so consider sharing, liking, etc if you'd be so kind) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyKI...
