@therestpolitics.bsky.social Hi fellas. I know you love good news re Young People. I’m coaching England Touch Rugby Academy, preparing 15-20 yr olds for the European Cup, 13-16 Aug (including my twin sons). Motivated, smart and passionate. You should check it out, heartening beyond belief.
What a bag of sleaze this guy is.

Burnham has it all to do, he isn’t a messiah and I am not blind to the reality of the U.K. in 2026, and the world…BUT I feel hope.
In case anyone is wondering what Andy Burnham’s first job today is apparently it is to be shown the loos then write the “letter of last resort” for the nuclear sub captains. Not easy being PM.
Poland is talking about Russia staging an incident. Never happened during the Cold War. Never. Is this a US scare tactic pre NATO summit to boost Euro spending? Is Trump going to walk away and enable Putin to act? Or worse, an understanding between them? @paulmason.bsky.social
This is hysterical. Where is that Allister Heath headline generator?
Utopia of violence. We need to accept, and fast, that to politicians like Lowe, Robinson and even Farage violence gives them a thrill. It’s a pleasure. And that is dangerous to all of us.

Just been fed a post on Facebook about a report from the Russian and Belorussian embassies about Human Rights violations by the U.K. I listed their war crimes in the comments. Now wondering if I am on a Kremlin list lol.
Very little comment on here re the Russian shooting at the yacht. A little anxiety inducing, we board their tanker. Their warship shoots at a yacht. If we board a protected tanker we might get a firefight and if the Admiral Grigoravich is around it could end up as ship v ship. Weird.
Can we all please wake up?
Reinier Van Lanschot@reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org · 2mo agoAuthoritarian regimes are no longer stopping at their own borders. Today, they are actively tracking and silencing dissidents who have sought refuge right here in Europe. May you rest in peace Robert Kuzovkov. 🕊️ #StopTransnationalRepression
And here we are. How complacent are U.K. government??? We are compromised and vulnerable.
Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 2mo agoB) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf 2/
Not concerning at all…

The far right marches are not only causing physical damage but economic damage as well. @keirstarmer.bsky.social get UK gov off X, stop funding it, shut it down until next week, charge Yaxley under the Public order act and grow a fecking spine.
Liam Thorp@liamthorp.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe businesses of County Road in Liverpool are still scarred by the riots of the summer of 2024 Now they are bracing for more unrest, with plans for a far-right march in the area this weekend
@ukparliament.parliament.uk @thenewworldmag.bsky.social can this law be applied to Yaxley fecking Lennon et al for that tweet launched from Moscow? The damage in Belfast is pretty similar to the damage a Shaheed drone would have caused.

@snellarthur.bsky.social just have to flag that Northumberland Reform are now an actor in the Middle East. Posting on Facebook about Barghouti…idiots abound
Woken up this morning to a tsunami of right wing crap. Apparently the BBC is biased because Kenyon was crap on QT. Vance, Trump posting rubbish and now Flynn saying Starmer must resign. It feels like the UK is under a cognitive warfare attack.

This is amazing. And also terrifying. Imagine all those drones, with face recognition cameras and a 3 ounce explosive block, attacking a town centre. That concept has been around for a while. It’s called Slaughter-Bots.

Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 3mo agoBen Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment to take over as party leader of Reform UK + stand in Clacton
#Faragecamps Pretty extreme way to distract from the £5m donation from the foreign based crypto billionaire
Amused today to see a post on LinkedIn about a 50s communist in a small Yorkshire village who wanted to irradiate the bourgeoisie. Very specific and makes some of the Tanky insults I get for being a liberal on this platform seem rather unimaginative…
This is a vitally important piece of analysis. It shows why talk of defence by those who ain’t studied or thought about it in detail is not just superficial, it’s dangerous. We need a proper debate across all parties. @zackpolanski.bsky.social this is the sort of stuff you need to engage with.
