Andrew shuts down Pitch@Palace business

Interestingly the Arthur Lancaster named on the entry at Companies House is also named on PPE Medpro - the company that Michelle Mone is involved with!

Just watched the 'memorial' for Charlie Kirk. Like some evangelistic convention. Trump smirking as he soaks up the attention. The Christian Far Right on top.

This picture tells a tale. Body language and power play. Starmer looking desperate away from the camera. Chin and face angled down.

Herzog body outward, turned to camera, shoulders up w/ hand over Starmer’s. This shouts, I’m in charge here. Finished off with a slight smirk too.

It’s getting more and more surreal each and every day. Everywhere…
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

This was behind a pay wall but no longer is
Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy
The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Nige is going to be on a love in with Nadine. Can he get her affection like she did for BoJo?

But of course the Rayner story is an amazing distraction for him... while he's in the USA.

We need an Independent Body that is free of parliament to scrutinise every MP and public body leader.

I guess it was inevitable but could it have been avoidable? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social has some real thinking to do.

It's been tainted by scandal after scandal. From the donations for fancy suits, to infighting rather than inclusivity, and now this.

Labour needs to be 100% ethical. #Rayner

I'm finding @bsky.app harder to engage with than I did on Twitter (for it will never be X to me). I quickly created a great community on Twitter that often became real life friendships. I fear COVID and the toxicity of X has broken this.

Am I wrong?

What do people think of the new @greenparty.org.uk leader and the latest advert? All hope and dreams? I want parties to tackle the immediate issues of:

Security and Safety (Policing, Safe Housing, etc)
Health (Preventative and speed of delivery)
Education (less focus on rankings more on students)
