Like #GenderIdentity, politics is not binary. I prefer to #DisagreeAgreeably rather than resort to blocking & insults. That is what Twitter is for. But I respect your right to be rude if that is what you prefer. https://captainstarkiller.wordpress.com
Dear #R4Today, the UK have supplied Storm-Shadow missiles to Ukraine for ages. Until Russia engaged in arson against Starmer, the missiles could not be used within the pre-invasion (the first one) borders of Russia. Afterwards, the gloves came off. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Russia was behind arson attacks targeting PM, BBC reveals
Evidence shows Russians directing the plot and stoking tensions with fake far-right and Muslim groups.

Nigel Farage told The Sun he can't be bought by anyone... He was literally bought and said 'Up the Ra' for £80.

For those voting in #Clacton #R4Today…
Martyn, Founder of Clacton.org@martynobrien.bsky.social · 2w agoYou can read about all 34 Candidates at clacton.org/34-candidates Running in a election should be a positive and equal experience for all candidate. However the Press and Media focus on famous, career politicians and a bin. The hive next to zero coverage on the other candidates.
If Nigel Farage loses Clacton to a refuse receptacle his career ends. A vote for Count Binface is a vote to end Trumpism in the UK.
Dear #BBCaq the EU slammed the door on Rishi Sunak’s bid to revive the #DublinAgreement. Why would they open it to #ReformUK Ltd? www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/eu-...
EU slams door on UK's bid to revive Dublin Agreement
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sees a returns deal as part of a wider effort to prevent dangerous migrant Channel crossings.

For any listening to #BBCaq &/or #AnyAnswers, the #DublinAgreement meant we could send ALL who crossed The English Channel back to France before it was cancelled by the insanity of Brexit.
I think that this is acceptable. I know many will not. #ArronBanks ‘hired private detective’ to look into journalist who investigated #ReformUK Ltd www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... #BBCaq

Martyn, Founder of Clacton.org@martynobrien.bsky.social · 2w agoSTOP HATE. Kai Stephens may enjoy this name check, as I guess he does things to get attention, but I'm calling out his hatred and verbal attack on a fellow candidate as she is from Iran as disgusting and despicable. clacton.org/stop-hate-st...

The Secret Barrister@barristersecret.bsky.social · 2w agoI have enormous sympathy with people angry that the political vandalism of our prison system is forcing the (even earlier) release of prisoners. It is a scandal. But deciding who does and does not get released on the basis of the volume of public outcry at their crime is the road to madness.
Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · 2w agoA few days ago Morocco sent a cargo of gasoline to Russia, where it's in desperately short supply as a result of Ukrainian attacks. A few days later, Morocco mounts a disinformation campaign that leads to tens of thousands crossing into Spanish territory. 🤔 arthursnell.substack.com/p/ceuta-the-...
My son was wearing a "Vote Reform" t-shirt and an "I love Nigel" baseball hat. He's been spat at, abused, slapped around the head and told he's a brainless twat. God knows what's going to happen to him once he gets out of the house...
