"Labour dodged a bullet. And in that part of Scotland in particular, once upon a time, not too long ago, if Farage and Tice walked into a pub and started spouting, you'd have to say that they'd exit through the window." @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social

Today marks 50 years since the 1975 referendum to stay in the EEC. We must recapture the spirit of that campaign now and push for the removal of trade barriers, for deeper peace & security ties, and for the ability of young people to travel freely across our shared continent.

Special assignment for me: a night out in Blackpool in Britain's first Reform Pub. The owner told us he'd now vote Remain, if he knew then what he knows now. The story though was the same as everywhere: the most profound rejection of politics itself. youtu.be/4sUKHr9KauA?...

I'll be back on @quietriotpod.bsky.social on Sunday but am not on the main show this week because of a diary clash I just couldn't reconcile. We have a fab guest, a superb stand in for me, and it'll be a great show I'm sure. Can't wait to listen and see you Sunday! x

"Old fashioned print media is in decline everywhere but in the mind of the nation’s political class. The result is that our leaders are getting a very warped sense of what the average voter thinks, reads and cares about."

The UK just got screwed by Donald Trump. Keir Starmer did get a reduction to zero on steel tariffs, when Trump had his steel tariffs set at 25%. But now they’re up to 50…he says we have to pay 25%. So despite making all sorts of concessions to the US, we’re back where we started.
