“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

Not everyone’s kids, even on Bluesky, will have got the GCSE results they wanted - and some of them for reasons beyond their control.

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf is currently delivering a speech accusing his party's critics of using language that will put his colleagues' lives at risk. In other news, here's Zia Yusuf two months ago

Thoughts and prayers to all those waking up today to a Reform-led local council.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

Absolute wrong 'uns www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Absolute wrong'un

Meanwhile, Britain finds itself lost between two worlds. We were told we didn’t need Europe, we could rely on the transatlantic relationship. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

I'm sorry I accidentally broke the law. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. It was an accident. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I really don't think real human musicians and singers need to be concerned about an AI generated soul singer. This is no different to The Crazy Frog or the Axel F tune from Beverley Hills Cop. It can't compete with live music. It's just an entertaining noise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fury as Nigel Farage ally backs project to get young Brits to move to Dubai

🔴All the Big Government Reforms the Media Hasn’t Been Telling You About You probably won’t have read much about these announcements over the past few weeks... bylinetimes.com/2025/10/28/a...

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

I don’t want to say the words ‘I told you so’ re when the papers were insisting young ppl were flocking to Reform and I, who work with young ppl, said that didn’t seem correct to me, so I’m just going to leave this here…

Nick Robinson’s coverage of Trump this morning is almost erotic

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I don't know what Britain's odious pest Nigel Farage was doing in Congress today. But this country already has an oversupply of fascists who eagerly carry water for Vladimir Putin. We certainly don't need to be importing them from the UK.

Did this age well? Did they make it?

I have just done Strands. I have absolutely no idea what that was all about today.

Just had a poke around on Threads. I hate it.

Summer 2025 is a long way off. There is a strong chance Liam & Noel will fall out again before their tour.

We can't afford to stay at Reid's Palace in Madeira so we head to the sun loungers at sunset with a beer and just watch it 👀

Nigel Farage's register of interests reveal that he accepted a £9,200 trip to Belgium, courtesy of the convicted fraudster George Cottrel, who spent eight months in an American jail, after being accused of offering money-laundering services on the dark web.

This is Barry. He likes banana and biscuits.

Oh, someone's put 50p in the dickhead...

I've been away from the UK and left X in the last 7 days. All I know from the news is some pole vaulter inadvertently got himself a job in the porn industry. I'll have to catch up on @quietriotpod.bsky.social to find out what the flip is going on everywhere. I hope they've covered everything 🤔

I've managed some unwonky holiday pics that didn't inadvertently include: A crane A pylon A massive road in the foreground that I didn't notice. 🙌🏽 Also loads that are/do.

I've deleted my X account because I never posted an X 🤔 Anyway, I'm on holiday in Madeira right now and if you've never been you should go because it's beautiful. They also have a bird of prey dude in Funchal who just rocked up at our hotel with his sidekick who swooped over the sunbathers 🦅
