Just listened to you and Alexei on his Podcast.
So enjoyable…

Thanks for the heads up ….his podcasts were off my radar.

You will now incur the wrath of my partner for re introducing me to him…..

Have you read the news right Alex?

I thought Suella Braverman was the new host of Bake Off
And
Nigella has gone to Reform

It’s a funny old world

That’s a fair view.

I’m persuaded that MPs and members should decided - not the leader.

Banning Burnham is unlikely (according to commentators) to stop a leadership challenge.

Assuming it happens - Starmer has stopped the one person with a net positive rating running.

Party/Country first?

How about linking MPs pay to any of the following
* Reducing the wealth gap
* Taking people out of poverty
* Reducing the need for food banks to zero
* Solving the homeless crisis

Or simply - telling the truth

It is politics - you are right.
It doesn’t have to be ‘normal’ to put yourself before Party and Country though.
Starmer, who I voted for, explicitly said he would work in the best interests of the country.
Huge hypocrisy from him here and he has lost another voter today.

It’s a poor political move and anti democratic.
Starmer will rightly be called selfish and weak.

It could be much more engaging if done well - millions of faithfuls trying to get the traitors out.

Personally think the show needs something a bit different now.
January 24, 2026 at 6:45 PM
I’d like them to construct the next series so the public is also kept in the dark regarding who the traitors are.

They could make it work with good editing.

Then we will see just how ‘easy’ it is for the faithful.

Certainly not from me ….
and it is, I’d suggest, a mistake that you can see happening.

The letter ‘R’ is quite challenging for some Chinese citizens - it doesn’t feature in their language.

Lincoln wasn’t the most progressive City 20 or so years ago so a ‘mix up’ is certainly possible.

Pleased for the lad
January 24, 2026 at 3:28 PM
Good point.

It’s those non Reform folk coming out all angsty now that really gets me angry.

It’s funny what the red lines are for people.
Trump the racist, narcissist, bully, autocrat, war monger, kidnapper, liar

and its all a bit ‘meh’

But, accuse our boys of not fighting and the shit hits the fan

All good bravado and bluster - but he will get Greenland and he doesn’t care about international law.

It has been Lincoln high street for many many years.
The story goes that the owner (Chinese) ordered the sign and was surprised it said ‘Legal Food’.

He had asked for ‘Regal’ -
lost in translation

It’s the exclamation mark that must really hurt.

Sadly, money will talk. A big offer and he goes.
