Why @metrouk.bsky.social has best letters column in national press. “ I believe Robert Jenrick is correct to say we need more integration in our society.
“I’ve walked in Surrey for more than 1 1/2 hours and not seen one black or brown face - and certainly no poor faces.” - Jon Burden

Meloni initially broke ranks with rest of Europe in refusing to recognise a Palestinian state to please Trump. She has now u-turned and says Italy will follow Macron and Starmer if hostages released and Hamas not in government - same conditions as 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷 laid down.

Also Kemi’s message to Jenrick, Farage, Goodwin, Mail/Tel same as Starmer.
“What Britain needs is national unity.
I am black.
I am a woman.
I am British.
My children are British.
And I will not allow anyone on the Right to tell them they do not belong in their own country.” @sundersays.bsky.social

Add in Mel Stride’s line Tories will cut 4,000 civil servants appointed since 2015. Most of them hired to work on trade, regulations, transport safety, food standards previously done by EU officials in Brussels

Sebastien Lécornu, Macron trusty, named as PM a month ago quits as no-one will follow his orders. Macron has lost all authority over law-making. He can call a National Assembly election but Le Pen likely to emerge with majority. France + UK leaders have lost political authority

Oh dear. Farage Cult local politicians now control Kent Council. First act is to raise council tax That will go down well with voters who fell for Farage lies

“The ECHR is baked into the Good Friday Agreement underwriting human rights in Northern Ireland. The Convention is an integral part of the agreement. That agreement is the foundation of the peace that now exists in Northern Ireland.” - Tom Hayes. Badenoch playing with fire

Lest we forget the politics of hate and division. In 2020 “The Board of Deputies of British Jews said Farage’s airing of claims about plots to undermine national governments, and his references to Goldman Sachs and the financier George Soros, showed he was seeking to “trade in dog whistles”.

But is he saying in terms cutting links with EU makes Labour growth, good jobs hopes futile?

denismacshane.bsky.social @denismacshane.bsky.social · 8d

“In his lifetime”? How long has he got?

Love to but Blue sky is so beige by/for Gdn/FT readers. I agree with every post on BlueSky. I need to know what enemy is saying. Surprised no Europe wide Twitter - come on @axelspringer.bsky.social

I was a decade later supporting Solidarnosc and creating links with unions in West. Not a single window frame in modern socialist flats I crashed in fully fitted so it was freezing in mid winter

Cameron gave Lady Mone of Mayfair (where else?) peerage without consulting anyone in Scotland. Top Glasgow biz leader wrote 2015 to Cam “Ms Mone is not a successful entrepreneur, she is a small-time businesswoman with a PR exposure far in excess of any actual success.” Who will end this corruption?

Media figures who cheerlead & champion Nigel Farage every minute of every day are freaking out about Keir Starmer telling a few home truths about the whiny little liar’s racism.
And how the racism he disseminates every day affects real people in the real world. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

PM, ministers might stop boasting U.K. now FDI world beater. Impossible as London elites treat trade w Europe as enemy action. @cityam.bsky.social splashes global listings on LSE now below Turkey, Poland. London 23rd in cities world invests in @rachelblakemp.bsky.social @labour4europe.bsky.social

Good. Sad that BBC think a New York Times Report on one if Farage’s closest MEP comrades paid by Kremlin not very important

Caught up in US last week with documentary movie “The Janes” about a group of Chicago women who between 1968 and US Supreme Court ruling RoevWade performed about 1,000 abortions. Terrific editing. Hope it comes to U.K. now Trump is stacking SC to try and remove women’s right to control their bodies

After 7 days in a remote corner of the US off the Washington State's coast I think Trump is heading for a very difficult political year in 2026. The Farage-Jenrick-Truss UK right have promoted themselves as Trumpies in England. I'd drop that line open.substack.com/pub/denismacsh…

Lot of rancid comment about @andyburnham.bsky.social putting up a few ideas. Now @LabourList Survation poll says Burnham would receive 43% of 1st preference votes.
Wes Streeting second on 9% percent, Angela Rayner 7%. Burnham ranked as top 3 choice for leader by almost 2/3rds of members

127,000 U.K. pensioners live in Spain alone. If they lose reciprocal benefits they will tell families back home what an anti British shit Farage is (as if we didn’t know)
