As a vet, I’m used to practical, hands-on work. You have to get such stuck in - sometimes literally - so politics can sometimes feel like a different beast. That’s why it is great to be spending time with other politicians who are ready to roll up their sleeves and make a real difference.

Since Brexit, Britain has been hit by... - Brexit - Trump 1 - Pandemic - Energy crisis - Cost of living crisis - Fallout from Russia's war on Ukraine - Trump 2 - now with extra crazy Starmer keeps telling us "things have changed". Yes, they have. 100.00%. So why not when it comes to Brexit too?!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social One thing is certain, no Free Trade Agreement with Donald Trump is worth the paper it is written on. We must work with our Allies, CW, EU et al.

Rejoining the Single Market is worth 3x more to the UK than not buying or selling a single thing in the USA. Screw Donald Trump, get free trade.

Nationalisation would lower your Water Bills by 50% and your Energy bills by 150%. The people stealing all that money off you don't want that to happen. That's why they tell you it is impossible.

Thames Water hopes to agree deal with a bidder by end of June. Private equity is favourite. It won't end profiteering, sewage dumping. Private equity are masters of cash extraction, high debt, asset stripping and tax dodges. Govt can begin to end the crisis. Nationalise but it refuses.

The decline of the Conservative Party will continue with the news that they have dumped Net Zero by 2050, the left will move to the Lib Dems and the right to Reform.

It could be good that people realise they are being lied to and that power is frequently protected and also criminal - sadly , that also seems to lead to believing the likes of Icke, Brand and Trump are telling the truth

This morning Labour pledged to clean up Windermere & eliminate all sewage discharges into the lake. Sec of State for Env made the commitment both on air & on the lake-shore. This the result of tireless, indefatigable campaigning by @savewindermere.bsky.social. 👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social PM Trudeau and Ford in Canada are using what sticks they have, No US alcohol and cancelling Starlink etc, what effect that is will be interesting.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social we have lived with the idea that we are so important, that a special relationship’ still exists, hence the normality bias. Euro & Canadian power can exist by threatening not to buy from US Defence Contractors as a start.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Canada will remain in step with NATO, and maybe cancel the F35 and buy Grippen or Tornado. That would send shock waves across US Defence Contractors!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It was clearly a set up. Pure & Simple. Have LBC asked NF about the Budapest Agreement, does he understand it? How does VZ thank the USA for breaking it? He doesn’t, of course.

Brexit support is collapsing—not just because people are changing their minds, but because of demographics. Younger voters overwhelmingly reject Brexit, yet Labour remains stubbornly cautious. How long can they ignore this shift? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Rachel Reeves looks to have been a bit silly but for journalists of a certain age to profess outrage at creative expenses claims turns hypocrisy in to an art form. When I started out, one legendary character was reputed to have put a son through Eton via bogus receipts. But my favourite story...
