"I suspect you – and a lot of people who like the idea of underground electricity cables – don’t quite know what’s involved with installing them. The view might be nicer a few decades after they’re laid, but installing them is quite the process."

Another example of cancel culture... You can't even go around organising killings anymore.

Ah yeah but Gordon Brown sold off the gold. The the little know short term excess of the Thatcher Gov in the '80s when public spending actually increased. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Maggie, Boris, Kemi... Versus Blair, Brown, Miliband, Corbyn, Starmer, Burnham. Stop the difference? H/t @steverichards.bsky.social for reminding us of our the right wing press personalise their Leaders.

Like him or not, he 100% called it. USA was warned. 70 million were then stupid with their vote.

To translate: Whether it is wrong or not depends on who you are talking about, not what they did.

VAR used in the right time, sparingly, is fantastic. The WC got it almost right. People forget how many games were ruined by bad decisions before VAR. VAR has also almost eliminated diving in the box. There used to be a few penalities every week given for blatant dives. Now it's a few a season.

Hold on...the Daily Mail are the bad guys now? Did he come back with everyone? Fascist on Fascist fight...best to stand back and let them at it.

I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen...

2 #CommunityShield tickets wanted.

Farage's by-election stunt wasted enough public money to pay for free dental care for every child in his constituency. Does he care? No. He just wanted to avoid legitimate parliamentary scrutiny of his dodgy bungs. Which he won't. It'll start again immediately. What a cock.

Bin Day cometh.

A national poll, conducted in July 2026 by Ipsos, asked voters across the UK who they would prefer to win, Count Binface or Nigel Farage. Count Binface beat Nigel Farage by 12 points! Come on Clacton. Do the right thing. Vote Bin Face not Bin Man!

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

The Reverend Jonathan Aiken invited onto prime time TV - would a non Tory politician be allowed such a 2nd chance? #skynews

#MEXENG The BBC commentary was outrageously bias but I'm starting to wonder if other contender countries are the same? Irish commentry is bias but it's not accompanied by the same level of arrogance - hence I'm wonder what other contender countries commentry is like.

Starmer and McSweeney took complete control of labour, but built nothing and leave behind a husk of a party So much so that only contender is Burnham, who wasn’t in Westminster This is story of how we got here (funded by a bag of dark money.)

@gavreilly.com waking up to the news that the UK have made a proposal to the EU to create a...wait for it....single market. Nor quite Sunningdale for slow learners....

Phenominal chart

Not just a seismic result for Plaid and Reform, but our final MRP model's central estimate had Plaid 43, Reform 34, with all parties well within range, so a fantastic result for @bkmann1.bsky.social and @patrick-pme.bsky.social too.

Labour are very lucky that the number of seats has increased in Wales. It stops picture after picture of people losing their seats.

If I had to say what I think is the most important thing happening in British politics right now, I’d say it’s the following phenomenon, explained here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvhI... With huge thanks to @yougov.co.uk @martamiori.bsky.social and @itvnews.bsky.social Please share! Thank you!

I'd strongly recommend this morning's Sunday Supplement to everyone "in Wales and beyond". The best discussion I've heard on what's at stake in the Welsh election on Thursday. (Ps I still need to catch up on the last 7 minutes) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We're one week out from massive elections where not one person elected will have the power the decide on this.

This counts as Journalism in the UK....

The last time I saw a defence this weak, Sheffield United shipped 104 goals and went down in 20th on just 16 points.

@bbc5live.bsky.social - PMQs pointless if PM just makes statements and ignores the questions. Speaker has to have more power to ensure the question is answered or a clear reason is given as to why it can't be answered.

AI is a thinking machine. One risk with Automations based on this 'thinking' is that the next release thinks differently.

Any connection to the Czechs or has he ever mispronounced someone's name? Or even worse eaten a sandwich. Maybe he puts pours the tea in before the milk....

The problem for Labour is that Starmer and Labour “Together” have fixed the Party so that it *can’t* change, it’s inbuilt reactionary “centrist” parliamentary/NEC majority means it will not be able to change credibly until these nasty drone MPs are booted out at the next election.

But did you have to let it linger?

Starmer - will he give a podium speech before he goes to see the King?

Stunned and betrayed to discover that Professor Matt Goodwin was not the wholly neutral and unbiased expert on the far right which I believed him to be!?!?!?

In fairness I'd only post nonsense like this anonymously as well.

If things are improving then Starmer has nothing to worry about

Labour must stand down in order to avoid splitting the anti-Reform vote. It is the sensible, grown-up thing to do.

All these Reform defections are short term gains which undermine their core selling point - which is change. Why would the country elect a party full of all the same washed-up, scandal-hit former Tory ministers they just kicked out of office? Opens the space for both a Labour and Tory recovery

James Milner has now played in the Premier League in 25 calendar years — a quarter of a century's worth. The original Xbox was released in the last year he didn't feature in England's top flight (2001).
