Really worth noting that even in Red Wall constituencies which backed Leave, most *Labour* voters back rejoining the EU. Over 90% of Labour considerers back rejoin - opposition to EU membership is mainly coming from non-Labour voters in these seats. Was on Times Radio yesterday making this point.

Morning.

Fair play to him - he sounds very genuine in this “Knighting Sinfield 'easiest decision anyone's had to make,' says Prince William” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@misterabk.bsky.social I loved your pedantry regarding Plaster of Paris . I dan only assume that RL Stein meant POP impregnated bandages (like we use for fractures) , which TBF is exactly the same as Modroc as you mentioned. Gypsum eh ? *Tuts loudly.

Do far right politicians and Tufton Streeters find it hard to be loyal to Britain when they're taking millions from the US far right?

You may have seen reports about the campaign for charities to be more 'transparent' about who funds them. Well it turns out the mysterious new right-wing think tank behind it won't say who funds or runs them, and used fake names for the authors of the report which launched their campaign

My sister in Christ, it pains me to inform you that Burnham is PM of the United Kingdom and that Paris is in fact in another country

“Why should we be interested in the opinions of this nepo baby?"

The idea that this arrogant privileged prick speaks on behalf of northern working class people is beyond absurd. The editors of Newsnight know exactly who he is, so why was he invited to spew out his daddy's recycled GB News bullshit?

Marshall was born in Wandsworth and went to a public school in Barnes. His knowledge of the Red Wall could be written on the back of a postage stamp

Why do undercover journalists always pick on Reform? How come they never target organisations that aren't full of racists, misogynists and sex pests?

I genuinely saw this and thought “we’ve really moved a long way from slogans like ‘live, laugh, love’”

Yes and they should be utterly ashamed

The @royalsociety.org is terrified of Musk's terrible, spiteful temper if they moved to revoke his fellowship. Utterly pathetic & humiliating.

He's with the Angles now

Years ago, Farage commented that there was no room for racists in UKIP. I took it to mean they'd have to join a waiting list. Reform are Continuation UKIP.

I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

Everything, literally everything, with them is comes down to white supremacy. Even innocuous hedgehogs aren’t good enough if they replace a white person on a piece of paper.

Nothing quite sums up the miserable world view of the modern British right like 'there is a time and a place for a hedgehog'

In the 1994 movie Shallow Grave , the plot revolves around a suitcase full of crisp new £50 notes. The notes are sepia series D , but production had moved to the bright red Series E in 1994 .

This is the best set of pedant replies you will ever read

You will never find a greater hive of fun and pedantry than the replies to this.

This is a reverse one - bit every contemporary medical drama still has defibrillators with paddles - yes yes , very dramatic , congrats , but we stopped using paddles a couple of decades ago .

Excellent niche quibbles 🤣

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

The tame media asking if Polanski will resign but not if Farage will resign says everything. Polanski came second and increased his vote share but yes he lost. Farage reform party came fourth to silence from tame media

They already have that in KGBeebies !

If you just substitute the words 'working age' for 'fighting age', suddenly the arrival of youngish men and women doesn't sound threatening. Rather, it sounds like exactly what we need for an ageing population.

@misterabk.bsky.social Clearing out the crawl space , sorting through old photos, mostly my wife’s. Help. Please.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

"Calls grow for investigation into Reform UK’s ‘extensive’ links with UAE" 'FairSquare wants the relationship examined by the government’s Defending Democracy Taskforce. It has also called for the UAE to be placed alongside Russia and Iran ...' thedailybritain.co.uk/reform-uk-ua...

NOTHING comes close

@misterabk.bsky.social I thought you were superb on The News Quiz , even tag teaming to take Baron Finkelstein down a peg or two .

"Did you or did you not attend a Chelsea home game on Saturday 10th September?" "No, I was outside York visiting the site of the battle in 1066 where Harold Godwinson defeated Harald Hardrada..."

"Reform-run Derbyshire County Council blacklisted a journalist after he exposed its £50,000 fence fiasco. Its deputy leader justified the move with a claim he later admitted was wrong. This is Reform’s answer to scrutiny. Attack the press." via Reform Watch

UAE officials have warned the UK that a severe punishment for Man City could hurt future Emirati investment in Britain, Bloomberg reports. This is the perfect argument for keeping foreign money out of football.
