So Kemi can allow an *ex* far right leader stand locally but won’t let former Tory ministers stand for Parliament? It just shows her political ineptitude.
Conservatives challenged for selecting a man who formed a far right group + was jailed for serious antisemitic harassment of former MP Luciana Berger.Badenoch says he has reformed sufficiently to have a local candidacy, but should not have a national platform www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/kemi-b...
Bad-enough world view is that local democracy isn’t a democracy at all. It explains a great deal…
This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning
Another excellent Substack from @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social An antidote to the “recently dead must be deified” narrative…

Cybil is sulking as I’m too busy to let her continue her sleep on my lap!
Luke seeking out how having clear policies is clearly a vote winner 🤣
Lots of analysis about threat of the Greens usurping Labour on the left. Reform usurping the Tories on the right. But none about how Binface has completely usurped the Monster Raging Looney Party for the joke vote. Another party that just couldn’t adapt to the attention economy
Farage will learn that when one door closes they all fucking slam. We hope.
You don't say ...
The best quote of the evening. “Farage is a Temu version of Donald Trump” Funny, accurate and on point! Well worth a listen!

@geekygearhead99.bsky.social has a heartwarming thread for why you should reach out of your are not ok. It’s not ok to be not ok. Help is available. Use it.
1/X Little life update btw, and I hope this doesn’t jinx anything, I talked to my doctor and have started on an antidepressant. And… it’s made a shocking difference for the better.
Strange isn’t it that a highly skilled, experienced caregiver is paid minimum wage but a spiv in a suit in the city can gamble literally millions of pounds and gets paid his weight in gold every year? Something is deeply wrong in this economy.
Andy Burnham, "To me, carers should be the best paid people in society, not the worst" "Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad" Andy Burnham praises migrants to the UK who care for our elderly, a stark contrast to Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer
Excellent Substack from @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social and worth a read. Don’t forget that the only free speech they allow is theirs not yours.
NEW | Let’s be serious… FARAGE BELIEVES IN FREE SPEECH UNTIL HE’S AT THE SHARP END OF A CUTTING JOKE Pretending that the guillotine t-shirt photo clumsily shared by Zack Polanski is a genuine threat is laughable and we should say so... brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/farage-bel...
This is what happens if you get your party’s policy from X not the general public.
Evening.
All the next President has to do to signal a break from the past is to remove all the gaudy gold leaf.
It looks less like the office of the President of the United States and more like the inside of a Fabergé egg that caught gonorrhea in the back room of a strip mall nail salon. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
You can Google it or Ai it. Same result. Potentially the wrong information. Just in Googles case it’s also filled with adverts…
I'm actually fine with sounding old.
I wonder what Nige has to say about this? Precious little I guess…
A betting account in the name of George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who bankrolled Nigel Farage, received almost $9mn in cryptocurrency from unidentified sources while he was providing gifts to the Reform UK leader great work from @annasophiegross.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/b74c...
As always, the dog has the correct take.🤣👍
BREAKING: Canine delivers strongest bipartisan statement of the year.
Farage judgement into his associates and likely advisors needs close scrutiny. And sharing widely.
Farage’s close associate Posh George has written a book called How to Launder Money. Even the late Ronnie Biggs never had the imagination to pen a book entitled “How to Rob Trains”. The stink off Reforn’s funding is overpowering app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/74154/...
They have done it! And they managed to not kill each other. That is a win win. And worth a listen. Well done chaps!
