A whole generation is growing up that don't understand economics, how the container crate caused globalisation more than Thatcher or Blair, how the technology they use incessantly is made, where the raw materials come from, or how the internet works. Bloody Boomers!

At this point, Count Binface could declare that he is a special public park bin for disposing of dog poo, and Farage would still be more full of shit. What's that smell? Farage's dodgy donations, faux-patriotism, and Kremlin cash! Clacton deserves better than an absentee MP friend of rich pedos.

Now that Count Binface is leading in the polls I expect the BBC will provide the same extensive coverage they did when reform shot into the lead. As Chris Mason argues, the people want to hear about the party leading in the polls! I will be certain to tune into Newsnight this week!

People of Clacton: Vote for Count Binface. Better than Farage but promising to perform the same function.

People of Clacton, there is only one way to respond to your MP who voted to block a bill on Russian Interference, has taken cash from Crypto Kings, the US Anti abortion Lobby, and a convicted Fraudster and then commented in favour of their interests and fantasies: COLD HARD RAGE!

Nice to hear from Elon this morning.

Hmm, not liking how this is playing out. We need to unite the country not stoke division with the North-South divide rhetoric. What exactly does he mean by overheated London economy? At least Starmer only blew it once he was actually Prime-Minister, this guy has blown it before he's even started.

Left and right are category errors. There are extremist populists and non-extremist pragmatists. People in a cult don't recognise they are in a cult, new drug addicts don't see the problem. Unfortunately we are all chained to these maniacs, and how can we really tell if we are one of them?

Fun Fact: Remain voters live longer! 2.6m Leave voters deceased against 1.6m Remain voters! Or maybe Leave voters were older. Just couldn't resist the click bait. Two spectacular Sankey diagrams from the FT today. www.ft.com/content/5656...

Fable 5 seems to be under house arrest. The land of the free and laissez-faire free markets has decided to fetter its use: "Anthropic has suspended its state-of-the-art AI models after the US government directed the company to limit access for all foreign nationals.." - The FT

Didn't Trump dig up Jackie Kennedy's rose garden?

Why is it that the best commentary on the state of Britain comes from the States? The British press seems to brush over our obvious deficiencies which makes it hard for voters to understand what the real problems are. I don't think I've ever heard BBC news critique the Brexit Fallout.

The UK's two main parties are end of life. Bureaucracy and Hubris is irreparable. Hague changed Tory leadership selection from MPs to Members - duds ever since. Labour Unions influence what PM candidates are on the ballot. We need new parties that aren't extreme populist fascist or communists.

If British Starmer = American Biden Who's British Trump? Farage? Boris? Heaven have mercy on our souls. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/w...

Current state of the labour party...

"Reform is a nasty political phenomenon… we've seen it all before. Never again, I hope." Lord Heseltine brave & old enough to speak the obvious w/ Cathy Newman @cathynewman.bsky.social "Mosley… in the 30s… Enoch Powell in the 60s… now we've got Nigel Farage [& his] curious record of anti-Semitism"

Labour misread their unpopularity. It's not Starmer it's all of them. Reeves: Promised growth - nothing to support it + pensions fiasco Back bench: Blocked benefits bill reductions - the public wanted it. Unions: 2 much influence. Growth first then work rights. Rayner: Fiscally incompetant

The problem with the Tories isn't that they are Tories, is that they're not Tories - they're populists. Kemi should also be facing pressure after the dismal conservative results. There must be a market out there for true blue one nation conservatives to save us from the tyranny of the minority.

All together now! ... "But Nige did take five million quid, and Nige would take five million more!" 💥💥💥 #RefUKkers

It's better to have both charisma and competence but if you can only have one, charisma gets you further.

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Stirring up hate and filling his pockets is what Farage does and his “long time friend” would help him do both.

Play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon long enough and you eventually discover the darker version of the game: not all networks are harmless, and not all ‘connections’ mean the same thing. Are we all just six degrees of separation away from Epstein?

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

The Labour party have shown themselves to be a bunch of whinging snow-flakes who are more upset about the lack of PM face time than they are about the state of the country. If you don't like what's Starmer's doing step up and help! Suck it up and deliver like the rest of us have to.

If Starmer get's challenged we need a general election. The UK didn't vote for far left loonies. Failure to achieve growth is his main issue, not a bad hire. When will politicians put country first instead of their own selfish agendas? Labour are gifting the country to the dar right, shame on you!

Guess who said this: "We have seen a decline steadily in European defence spending generally … That has to change." No not Trump, Obama in 2014. We didn't listen and that's why we are weak. Let's concentrate on fixing it instead of morning the loss of the American led rules based order.

The more abstract the model, the more limited it is in its range of utility. This is a central concern in control theory.

I've finally taken the plunge into the handmaids tale, Atwood is one of my favourite authors but I tend to avoid dystopias. With everything going on in the world, I thought I'd torture myself more with Margret's warning. #CurrentlyReading www.goodreads.com/book/show/34... 📚💙

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

For some reason this picture leaves me with a primal urge to vomit. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Also demonstrating to other state leaders (particularly in Europe) what strong principle-centred leadership looks like.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.
