On Twitter I had angry debates where no one ever changed their mind. On Bluesky I have debates where I learn things and sometimes even decide I was wrong.

Labour has launched a blistering attack on Nigel Farage's "unfunded spending pledges" Party chair Ellie Reeves accused the ex-UKIP leader, who praised Liz Truss's disastrous mini-Budget, of only caring about his "own self-interest" www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

You cannot win with the Far Right. Say nothing, there's instant racist speculation and cries of cover up. Release information and there's instant cries of two tier justice. Never ever a thought for any of the victims, they just twist everything to suit their hateful agenda.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

Just heard an interview where David Fairclough-no Senior England caps and who couldn’t get a regular start for Liverpool called Peter Shilton-125 England caps and Stuart Pearce-78 England caps ‘overrated’ Bloke has no self awareness, insight or class. #nffc #lfc

I don't share The S*n, but when I do... it's this Labour win 👇 🙂‍↕️

#lcfc Would be performing way better AND be in with a chance of avoiding relegation if they’d not sacked Steve Cooper

Just finished watching #thiscityisours Brilliant series, well written, acted, directed and filmed.

Thanks, Keir, for the warm welcome at 10 Downing Street.    At a time of great consequence for our country — one in which our sovereignty has been called into question — alliances and friendships like ours matter.

In October 2024 @bsky.app had just 13 million users. In March 2025 that number has reached over 33 million. WE CAN DO THIS, TOGETHER

#England #Tuchel If Jordan Henderson is the answer, you are asking wrong question.

But Labour doesn't tax the rich 😭 Labour, who is taxing the rich 👇

Starmer's Govt played a key behind the scenes role in bringing about today's ceasefire announcement between the US and Ukraine Another feather in Starmer's cap Big analysis piece on this from me tomorrow for @eurasiagroup.net clients

I’m seeing a lot of things lately about conservative men upset that liberal women won’t date them because of their political views and I’m honestly confused. Why would they want to date liberal women anyway? I thought they wanted the whole trad wife thing? Hello? Go date them? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Family includes everyone! ❤️

Tediously predictable that Johnson - liar and cheat all his life - pusher of a ruinous Brexit - epic disgrace of a PM - kicked out of power by his own party - thinks he can persuade us that Trump’s grim betrayal of Ukraine is a cunning plan to punish Putin. He never tires of being a total arsehole.

Winning today for the skipper. Our greatest ever captain & leader. Get well soon Stuart. #nffc

Reform is imploding, with serious allegations against Rupert Lowe, emotional denials, possible hatchet jobs from team Farage and highly undignified infighting. Meanwhile, I’m just sitting here LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF.

An example of today's Starmer bashing, he's being blamed for not being at the EU summit, when it was pointed out it's because were not a member state, that's Starmer's fault for not applying to join. Something else he should have managed in just 7 months, it's beyond tedious.

The UK-Ireland summit talks are being held today. A key topic will be energy security, specifically to make offshore energy in the Irish and Celtic seas easier. There will be announcements of new trade & investment deals . National security, defence and security in Europe will also be discussed.
