Ever since Braverman’s defection, I’ve been wondering if / how long, before Hayes follows suit. He was after all, her mentor & secret advisor, particularly around immigration policy.

Another one James, for your ‘Guess who said this?’ slot (make it a regular feature… there’s enough material with the N.F brigade!) Needs a jingle. 😎

If proof were needed that art offers something news can't, it's the repeat of #ArtofPersia at a time of deep trauma, offering a long view of the remarkable people of Iran. Ep 1 went out on BBC4 on Monday and here's the story behind it... (all eps are on iplayer) samiraahmed.blog/the-art-of-m...

The thing is, N.F (thanks @mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m keeping that) may have added to his tinpot army with some ‘big guns’ 🤪 but I doubt these names will remain in post after any general election as their constituencies are NOT Turquoise Tory leaning.

The media frenzy around Burnham is now at the point of embarrassing. If he were a free agent, I suspect it would be a very different story & he’d no doubt be in the running. He’s not. He’s halfway through a 4 year term, which he owes the people of Manchester to see through. Then there’s the costs.

I can’t believe what I’ve just viewed. From 3 different angles. NINE shots, in the back. Unarmed.
A ‘narrative’ is already being peddled in response.
American cousins, I’ve no idea what you do now/next, but you need a plan. And you need it fast.
Sending strength from across the pond. RIP Alex 💔

I know it’s been tumbleweed so far from Farrige rhymes with Garrige, but has the Lettuce spoken out yet? I ask only because she’ll stand at the cenotaph in 10 months time & talk non stop about something something deep state between now & then on her funny little show from her downstairs loo.

Carla Sands just made Steve Baker appear like the voice of reason & master of all things honourable that ever existed, ever!
We know why these people are repeatedly invited onto political panels. Please stop. She needs relegating to the ‘never again’ list along with Gorka.

In other news, Francois appeared on LBC again this morning … but @mrjamesob.bsky.social hadn’t even mentioned his name yesterday (which is normally what conjures him up!) 😜

On the bright side, with every crack & senile rant that appears to the world through its global lens, the MAGA ‘carbon copy’ that is Reform, could start to lose traction & naturally wither away…
The hope may kill me, but I’m clutching onto it!

Just wanna cautiously remind the 15% of Greenlanders who may favour a Trump takeover, that the last time a MAGA loon bought something pleasant & safe…. it became unrecognisable within a week & is now a cesspit.

Within 24hrs of Farrige claiming that he’d ’have a word’ with the Mango Mussolini …. Trump’s attacking Starmer & something something Chagos. An agreement he was happy with last year?!

In his past life (a long, long Tory time ago) Rosindell led a Brexit chant for the national anthem to return at the end of each BBC day.

Sorry, I’m here to rant…
Farrige holding court today like a Tinpot Trump, welcoming yet another failed Tory to sycophant at his feet like Uriah Heep on steroids.
Reminds me of Trump/Vance (But you called him a Nazi.. now you’re his V.P!) Zahawi will fit right in. Utterly shameless!

When 🇨🇦 had an ‘Elbows Up’ situation with the Tango Tyrant, a visit from Charles aided in shoving the wally back in his lane.
We & many 🇪🇺 nations still have a soft power. Time to wheel them out for a summit in Greenland alongside the Danish HRH maybe? Unity? It would also justify their existence!

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

Just imagine for a moment, if ANY other political figure in this country had at the age of 17, bullied 9yr olds at school! Let alone the racism, antisemitism & PATTERN of behaviour subjected to many others & to then ‘control’ a press conference only to bark ‘Bernard Manning’.
I can’t.

You’d blame the parents right? If an adolescent bloke back in the 70s was such a revolting creature you’d look to home for some form of sense of it all? Funny, because there’s very little to go on, unlike other party leaders who can’t talk enough about their families & upbringing. Thoughts? 🤔
