A lot of people did. My wife and I regularly had arguments about whether Labour were just saying what Tory voters wanted to hear & would do better in power or whether Starmer couldn't be trusted. I was in the latter category....

I’ll be voting Green at the next election because I think they’re the only party that speaks to my left-wing values.

That said, I find it TERRIFYING how this country is happily wandering towards electing what is effectively a neo-Nazi party.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Is one of you going to murder people & the other one describe it?

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 1d

I’m excited & I don’t care. #CelebrityTraitors

Any time people talk to me about The Wire, they say things like “it gets brilliant by season three.”

Boo-boo, I don’t have that kind of time.

Remember everyone: protesting against a literal genocide is un-British, according to the Prime Minister from the *checks notes* Labour Party.

The production meeting will have discussed it & dismissed it because it’s a bit fun. Can’t have any of that in the Craig films.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border

In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

Oh then I’m a lot less apologetic! I thought you meant the transphobic fella. Although you’d have done very well not to have heard his name for years.

He was on House of Games before & he was on it. I thought he sounded a bit Scouse, so I Googled it & that’s how I ended up finding it.

Good grief. Imagine having to invite the family round for Christmas. And I thought my family was hard work!

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve known for ages that Graham Linehan’s wife left him because he’s a transphobic cunt, but I’ve only just learned that said wife was Helen, sister of Scouse comedian Peter Serafinowicz.

I’m aware of the irony of this being a Sky News piece, but you get what I mean.

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 4d

😂

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 4d

Green the only major party offering genuine hope. Not that you’d know from the lack of coverage they get from the likes of Sky News & the BBC.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 5d

These are just our first steps.

Let's keep going.

Labour just giving us a taste of what it will be like under Adolf Farage’s Reform government.

Not the most “I can definitely be trusted with power” kind of statement I’ve ever heard

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 4d

It’s an approach that makes sense. I can just see a world in which “football purists” kick off.

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 4d

Liquidate Palace IMO.

Obviously I’ve gone full screen on the Ev to hear the half-time boos.

Adam Smith @adamlsmith.bsky.social · 5d

This feels like a massive step in the right direction from Sky Sports. Seems like a move towards all matches being shown, including 3pms at some point in the future.

I think you could do a decent bingo. Spoken to a passenger who clearly doesn’t want to engage? Pronounce things in an overly northern accent for no reason? Sings a song? BINGO!
