The Tories are no longer the opposition & are unlikely to be a threat at the next GE
Jenrick is following the US 2025 playbook & with a cupboard full of skeletons would after a brief polls blip bring them further down till they join Farage Follies Aka Reform en masse
Always keep a hold on nurse🤫

Should of course have been Jenrick may have Gottle of Gear ( predictive text really hates this ) but still has no idea
Maybe he has a career as a radio ventriloquist cause on TV you can see his lips moving & you know he’s lying

The govt plan a show trial of Keecap over displaying a Hesbulah flag that no one would recognise
Meanwhile people wear swasticas unchallenged & assholes like Farage flag shag to terrorise moderate opposition with hi jacked flags

Let’s not let Trumps tariff lunacy turn into a UK /EU trade war which would mainly benefit Putin
Sucking up to Donald was always dodgy
Maybe this will persuade Starmer to go for the closest possible links with the EU instead of faffing about with minor deals

As tweeted so many times before, UK now an outsider to EU & every other country in the world...as more turn inwards & more protective ..
EU etc can afford to do without UK goods; but UK cannot even afford to reciprocate its TCA border, never mind start any trade wars.

I think this is how Miller defines Plenary Powers which he mistakenly revealed that Trump mistakenly thinks he has
hey military your function is to defend the people , your target is now clear
Please arrest this dangerous narsisistic psychopath & supervise a trial for treason

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Apparently govt want to reopen the Kneecap case to prove a point in law
Sounds like they need a scapegoat for a show trial
How many people would recognise a Hesbulah flag anyway
How many people go around with impunity wearing swasticas
Frankly I’d also like to see MPs banned from flag shagging

I don’t really see Witkoff adding anything at all to the process having previously been called useless by other delegates & Kushner will be more interested in real estate than saving lives
Hope I’m wrong but I think Trump is either being played or in collision with Netenyahu

By all means please contribute to all valid requests but realise that for any real difference someone needs to make Trump stop sending money & weapons to Netenyahu

I think they’re caught between twin perils of antisemitism & cost of losing trade & security deals with Israel
Whatever the price Starmer must
1 accept that as things stand Israel is wrong & Hamas are a spent force
2 whether it would influence the mass murder Netenyau or not do the right thing

Scottie2 @scottie2.bsky.social · 9h

Sensibly Kemmi kept her closing speech short & numerous standing ovations probably didn’t even convince themselves but signaled the failure of Jenricks power grab which might have given a brief boost to the polls but ignores a cupboard full of skeletons

One very very lonely Tory voice on the letters page of The Times.
Sorry, Robert. It’s too late. Your party has gone completely nuts. Driven mad by 14 years of failure, Farage and your monumentally stupid Brexit.
You can ask them to put the petrol can down but they’re mesmerised by the fire.

Leaving the ECHR could split Union Sir, In his article "Leaving the ECHR won't fix illegal migration" (Oct 6; letters, Oct 7), David Gauke makes the point that the Conservatives' decision to support complete withdrawal from the European convention of human rights is, at best, wholly unnecessary and at worst will make international co-operation on migration control and deportation much more difficult.
He is right to do so. It is time for Tories to stop heading for the exit every time there is perceived tension caused by so-called foreign institutions that my party actually helped to create in the first place.
To claim that ECHR withdrawal will not affect the Northern Ireland Good Friday agreement is naive. Not only will it risk undermining trust in policing and criminal justice cross-border co-operation, it will trigger a breach of article 2 of the Windsor framework and a climate of instability that can only assist advocates of a border poll that could lead to the break-up of the Union. For the Conservative Party to advocate such a move is a betrayal of Conservative principles.

How about the next time Trump sends the National Guard anywhere they cut the crap & arrest every ICE thug who hasn’t run away

"The greatest crisis of American civil-military relations in modern history is now under way....This is why America’s senior military officers...must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders."

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here

The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Zack has made quite an impact & would be a breath of fresh air in HoP keeping Starmers feet to the fire
He must however accept his part in the need to expose the fallacy of Farage Reform
Could be interesting if he wound up fighting Andy Burnham at the next bye-election

In the first month after the murderous attack Israel caused about eight times as many deaths as Hamas did ( mostly to civilians) anything after that can’t be regarded as self defence or even justifiable repercussions but are clearly #GazaGenocide
