Dear MPs, Please vote for assisted dying. Like abortion, divorce and religion if you don’t like like, don’t do it. However, please let the rest of us have that (extremely limited) choice.

Nothing says “I am an insecure, little dick” like throwing yourself a huge military parade.

Does America still expect free and fair elections now?

Students being counted as immigrants has always struck me as daft. Now there’s a massive opportunity to take those who will find US universities unavailable or unattractive which would provide much need income.

I doubt a trans person has ever had a negative impact on her life, one which is now profoundly privileged, such a shame she’s trashed her once positive legacy.

So here’s an idea. On Trump’s next head of State meeting, how about they whip out a presentation on mass shootings in US schools?

Above all, like every bully, Putin is a coward and cannot confront f2f those who have the courage to stand up to him.

Surely, the only certainty with Trump is that he’s completely unreliable. Thus impossible to have any good faith engagement. Therefore, not really worth any effort. See China.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Yesterday my electricity cost me 53 pence and I was paid £4.83 to export excess. Two washes, dishwasher and EV topped up.

Growth, security against Russia and America plus FOM, what’s not to like.

Today’s random thought. I’m a republican but I’m on Harry’s side.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social yes, I love my panels! Not boring!

Random thoughts for today. Net zero is essential, indeed existential. Also I believe it’s achievable without pain for people. Costs will continue to fall and products improve. My 3 yr old solar panels have been superseded. But they still provide 50% of my needs. 1/n.

Elbows up Canada. Carney must be delighted.

extra 3 which is a German TV political satire program running since the 1970s mocks the Trump administration to the tune of Queen's Under Pressure

This is what we all feared. The United States and Russia bullying brave President Zelensky into a terrible deal. Time for the United Kingdom and Europe to stand up to Trump and seize the Russian assets so we can go it alone.

US $5k baby bonus anyone?

Moscow seems pleased. One Russian paper today: “Soviet leaders’ dream of driving a wedge between the European part of Nato & the US has come true.” Another: “Trump is destroying the world created by US liberals…the changes in the global system serve [Russia’s] interests.” #ReadingRussia

@mrjamesob.bsky.social anyone earning money can be a taxpayer, regardless of their age.

Both Xi Jinping and Putin are in their separate ways laughing in the face of the Mango Mussolini.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social spot on! Everything has changed, so bloody well change then!

Margaret Thatcher quit as an MP 33 years ago today. Her cruel decisions have echoed through the decades, creating some of the most serious problems the UK faces in 2025. 5 examples:

It's one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

Brexiters crowing about being hit with a 10% Trump tariff, rather than 20%. Ffs. Brexit costs us far more than 10% on goods to the US. Every day. We now have *both* to contend with, without the leverage of a powerful bloc. A crappy deal won’t save us. Please just STFU you stupid, stupid bastards.
