There is another country. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog discussing the thuggery, sanctimony and hypocrisy of the last fortnight, and how Starmer should lead in articulating an alternative version of patriotism to that of the far-right: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/09/ther...

Wonderful season for the Blues. Didn’t expect us to get promoted and win the league so easily. So unlike us. Anyway, next season will be a different proposition. 💙 #bcfc #kro

#Posh were much the better team and fully deserved their victory. Congratulations to them 🎉. We will learn from the that and in the long run it will help our development. Let’s finish the season with the highest EFL points total. #kro #bcfc

This is an excellent report/ analysis. FWIW I think Starmer is handling this incredibly difficult situation about as well as possible, even if it's not pretty, and distasteful for those who demand absolute moral purity in politics.

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social · Mar 2

By me: how ultra-pragmatist Keir Starmer is still trying to get the US back on board over Ukraine with careful diplomacy, and how this ties in with his long disavowal of what he calls the ‘politics of protest’.

Piece looking at:

- what comes next
