My partner and I wanted to go and see Fantastic 4, Naked Gun and Freakier Friday (with the kids) at the cinema this month.

But my partner is deaf. And cinemas in the UK only put subtitles on 1% of films.

So we didn't go.

If I was Chancellor & wanted a resurgence in the British economy, instead of technology, a sector that is awash with capital, I'd unleash extraordinary investment in the creative sector, where we have unparalleled strength and which reinforces our identity, with multiplier effects everywhere.

Most people don't personally care about immigration or crime. The frenzy we see is mainly the media driving clicks.

The only thing most people seem to care about is the cost of living.

'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone.

This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.

I clocked up 201 on my journey to every country without flying. That's 193 UN members plus Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan, Western Sahara, Vatican City and counting England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland individually.

I can't quite believe just how bad Labour are at this.

Neither, it turns out, can most of the people who voted for them.

Hard to see how Morgan McSweeny or indeed any of the Blue Labour lot keep their jobs after this fucking abortion.

But I’m sure they’ll manage it by, err, going “further and faster”, was it?

Can anyone explain to me why RefUK voters love this foreign slime (oil) so much?

Why don't they want nice clean cheap efficient BRITISH Power? Why do they hate our country?

Why do they want us to forever be UNDER THE THUMB of the likes of Saudi Arabia, Libya, Angola, Algeria etc. ??

Tells me you should be on the list, except nobody's ever heard of you. It must sting knowing you're even less competent than the likes of MATT HANCOCK 😘

Graham Hughes @grahamdavidhughes.bsky.social · Jul 14

The fact that you can comb through over 1,250 names on that list and find ONE to quibble with speaks volumes.

Pathetic.
