I find @tomtugendhat.bsky.social's argument not just ludicrous, but dangerous. Due process is *absolutely* paramount in criminal law - not "whose side you are on".

We don't trample Separation of Powers just because you feel rightly angry and ashamed for being spied on *while Security Minister".

Reform UK has been forced to reject more unlawful donations than any other British political party in 2025

the party has had to give back almost £200,000 this year from 18 impermissible donors, according to Electoral Commission data

According to a Financial Times investigation, the Trump business has already reaped more than $1bn in pre-tax profits over the past year, in part thanks to a crypto boom fuelled by the administration’s own industry-friendly policies

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage.

*Pretends to be shocked* 😲

The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

I favour cock-up over conspiracy, but what worries me about Starmer's missteps is that they don't lead to a random walk. They lead us inexorably in the same direction in a determined march.

The Labour Party has suffered corporate capture under Starmer's leadership.

All of this is being put out to placate the right wing press...

In the meantime, it's causing fear & confusion. As I understand it:

● this only applies to some people on skilled visas
● it's not "A level English" it's something called SELT
● much the same requirement exists elsewhere in EU

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

We popped into a nearby town along the shores of the Cromarty Firth. It’s an eight heron day today.

Meanwhile migrating geese by the thousand. Harbingers of frost.
