Hi I'm James Brown - not that one!
@newsagents.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com hi guys, can you please provide some coverage, round up and analysis of what's happening in the covid enquiry. I've seen some videos of testimony that should be front page news all day long but no one in the media seems to care..

So the *starting* price for the new Ford Puma (fiesta replacement) is just shy of £30,000 - 10 years ago you could buy a *top-of-the-range* mondeo for £30,000...

How does this make sense?!?!?! 😱😱

@newsagents.bsky.social what has happened to @lewisgoodall.com ?? I haven't heard him on the podcast in ages - is he on a very well deserved holiday or has he left the podcast?

The other place may be a rank cesspit 95% of the time, but it's healing to see motorsport's sense of humour is still alive and kicking on April Fools day!

Someone clever did this to a lamppost on Coverdale road and now I am disappointed that every lamppost doesn’t have one

Very insightful reading and highly recommended!!

I'm trying to make sense of the madness in the world at the moment and Lewis' substack is my go to source for explanation and analysis!! 🙌
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

@therestpolitics.bsky.social @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social Question: is there merit to the thought that younger voter attraction to hard right parties can be partly explained by their political awareness lifespan only sees negatives such as financial crash, austerity, brexit etc 1/2

@thenewsagents.com @lewisgoodall.com @jonsopel1.bsky.social @emilymaitlis.bsky.social A "what if?" question: if labour has cancelled the summer recess, not let the tories and press run unanswered for 6 weeks, and instead got on with the job - would starmer's popularity rating be as low as they are?

I've just woken up and scrolled through the top few dozen posts on my blue sky feed and now I feel depressed - government privatises the country, benefits claimants are bad, Russian interference in uk etc etc.

Some positivity please!! 😭😭

I definitely need more of my weird car twitter folk to migrate! I'm lacking the wonderful stories of barn finds, adventurous restorations and laughing at people whose wealth has exceeded their taste!

@autopap.bsky.social -do you have a list we could create a starter pack with?

I do think that civil disobedience and disorder for the sole reason of messing with the sanity of the right wing media is not only genius (and worthy of a channel 4 documentary) but potentially a valuable public service!

When it snows, I can only theorize that the best thing to do is put my Oodie on, snuggle up with the dog and continue playing a 20 year old total war game because i like my happy place! 😊🥰
