Labour are also REALLY shit at comms.

Things like this are getting totally eclipsed by the flag nonsense and the phoney ECHR debate.
Sorry Otto, I'm slipping this in here as it is significant, but no one is talking about it?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social We cannot call 16 year olds ‘idiots’ when you look at Truss, Farage, Johnson et Al, and they were elected to high office! And then look at the ‘Toddler Tantrums’ from the White House! Time to give young people a sense of responsibility

I really wish that political parties would respect what the electorate have voted for and work together for the good of the country rather than individual parties taking a pot at each other all the time, it’s like a kindergarten, and has been for sometime

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

“Forget what Starmer says. Britain will have to choose. It has kowtowed to the US all our lives, and this is where it has got us. Gradual strategic disengagement from America, coupled with renewed integration in a revitalised Europe, is the only sane, safe path” 👏

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…

I'm going to watch a movie.
It is a documentary about Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kyiv from 1019 until his death in 1054.

It is good we have movies like that 💪
