Rod Liddle, the human equivalent of a fractured sewer, has carked it. Nothing of value has been lost. My only regret is that Richard Littleknob is still alive. 🤷♂️

Look, I'm almost certainly going to piss loads of people off. For the simple reason that I'm nobody's wingnut.
Oh fuck off you pompous arsehole, a degree in politics & history doesn't give you the credibility to pontificate on this. Maybe come back when you've studied virology, epidemiology or medicine!
They'll have to send Fargle to The Village...

Reform Party UK Exposed@reformexposed.bsky.social · 6d agoReform UK and Nigel Farage are now so knee deep in scandal and investigations, their attempts to deflect and divert are failing. They’re running out of faux outrage.
Double-breasted jackets are frequently the sign of a tasteless prat. My late father (a trained Italian tailor who made many bespoke suits during his life) disdained them as ostentatious. Perfect style choice for Nige though, tbh. The dark jacket and tan trousers make him resemble a Weeble in motion.

Theo@theopriestley.net · last wk.Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.
Says a lot about how godawful the Muskführerwagen looks that adding an Edsel nose makes for a marginal improvement. Even if the overall result is 'poorly rendered Wolseley 18/85 pumped full of automotive steroids'.

Meanwhile the evidence in the Epstein files of Johnson and Farage colluding with Steve Bannon to topple Theresa May has not been contested bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...
Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May
The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

A timely reminder here. Putin's intel agencies have heavily contributed to social disruption and the death of nuance online for many years. In the UK context, there's IndyRef and Brexit, as well as stoking both far-right and far-left culture-war agitation flashpoints.
Phillip Hallam-Baker@phill.hallambaker.com · 2w agoPutin's people play both sides, they get members of the AfD to vandalize Jewish cemeteries and their antisemitic and Zionist influencers both play off the same story. The rise of antisemitism since 2005 happened independently of events in Israel. Putin's goal is to divide, antisemitism divides.
Very true. Meanwhile, the usual suspects will soon be trotting out the inevitable: - 'Red Tory/sellout' - 'Israeli shill/tool of Mossad - 'genocide enabler' - 'war criminal' ...and on and on and on...
Paul Singh 🇪🇺🇬🇧@paulsingh.bsky.social · 2w agoTheres nothing funnier than watching those who agitated for the enthronement of Burnham realise he’s not the messiah
The COVID pandemic and lockdowns almost certainly accelerated what was already a pre-existing process of social change.
History and Heritage Yorkshire@handhyorkshire.bsky.social · 2w ago🧵The UK hospitality market has a structural supply-and-demand mismatch, and part of the crisis is self-inflicted. While trade bodies frequently point to external factors like rising energy bills, high business rates, and minimum wage increases, those issues
"We paid for this seat, and I think it's a damn liberty that we have to stand for it as well!" The Prince-Regent (Hugh Laurie), unknowingly foreshadowing Nigel Farage by nearly 40 years (Blackadder III)
Matthew Stadlen @matthewstadlen.bsky.social · 2w agoQuite funny Nigel Farage calling for a general election and claiming Andy Burnham has no mandate when he isn’t even an MP and is locked in an electoral struggle with a bin.
'Sneaked in'. Translation: the results of actual planning and policy coming into operation. Largely dismissed as too boring/unacceptably positive by the bulk of national media hyenas.
Han🌹🏳️🌈@ceremonialgeek.substack.com · 2w agoPresident Pantsh!tter appears to have adopted the Mike 'MyPillow Guy' Lindell strategy in respect of presenting their case against the BBC... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Something this app proves time and again, is that too many people are so blinded by self-righteousness that they will use, excuse, or amplify the most blatant examples of obvious bigotry when it suits them. The poison of Yanktimoniousness is seeping into the wider world. It will do no-one any good.
Indeed. There's no obligation to go to the country on changing PM. Besides, we had to suffer Bollocks Johnson and Lettuce Truss with recourse. So the C*nt of Shitty Crypto can STFU. Not his parody, obviously. You keep right on keeping on 😁
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 2w agoMy guide to when a by-election should be held: CALL AN ELECTION: When a grifting gobshite wants to distract attention from his dodgy finances. DON’T CALL AN ELECTION: When Robert Jenrick, Danny Kruger, Andrew Rosindell and Suella Braverman fancy changing parties.
Ok, cards on the table. As long as the policies are beneficial, I'm less interested in their origins, other than credit where it's due. If the new frontman is better art selling them to the (low-information/low-engagement) electorate, that's good. All the same, I think Reeves was underrated as CotE.
One of the things I am enjoying about Burnham is that he is getting ahead of the media. I have my reservations, but he is way more politically savy and understands that you have to build political capital, and bank it for later use. I hope Burnham isn't this performative long-term, but kudos.
All of Carole's years of propper investigative journalism is coming good.
Memorial Device@memorialdevice.bsky.social · 3w agoThis constant, constant stream of pointless, posturing 'gotcha' bullshit is why no one is going to care if a future regime starts sh**ting journos who annoy them. I'm only half-joking 😬
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 2w agoCould the attention-seeking twat, shouting inanities at every minister as they walk into No.10, to the extent that no other media can even do interviews within earshot, shut the fuck up? Ta very much.
"But...but...we were promised a workers' paradise..." "This IS the workers' paradise! Now get in that hole and dig, bourgeois scum!"
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 2w agook I'm more pro national service than most on here but I get that there are valid concerns etc etc. but I'm sorry 'pro-communism but also furious at prospect of govt controlling my employment choices' is just a very funny type of guy. you think a command economy is gonna let you follow your dreams?
It always amazes me how many people automatically equate 'left-wing' and 'socially liberal'. Tribal politics exists across the political spectrum.
The Times' headline reads like something out of 'Black Mirror'.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Times reports an 'extreme far-right campaign to infiltrate Restore Britain' Yet this had been an inflitration - by invitation - in plain sight The Times now understands Lowe "plans to root out those who espouse those ideologies from his party" (!) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
There is a problem with misogyny on this app. The same goes for other social media apps too to be fair, but what makes it particularly frustrating is that many people are unaware or believe it is unapplicable, by the "virtue" of it being Bluesky and not X.
The latest change of PM has occured in controversial and pretty unpleasant circumstances. However, I'm going to try and follow the example of SKS himself; accept the change with pragmatism and honour. The stakes remain too high to risk allowing Fascism any power. If that happens, we're ALL fucked. 🤷♂️
If I was in charge, all current 'political correspondent' hacks would be rounded up and conscripted into the sanitation engineering sector. Since the little pricks love stirring shit so much, I'd make them do it for real. They'd actually be useful. And smell like what they're already full of.
Peter Smith@redpeter99.bsky.social · 3w agoChris Mason plans to spend the weekend gargling with TCP to prepare for shouting inane questions at politicians walking in Downing Street on Monday.
The sanctimonious worthier-than-thou celebrating Starmer's departure as PM really do look to me like lambs gambolling in joy on their way to the slaughterhouse 🤷♂️.
That they do. Pretty much all of them must know that they're dogwhistling loud enough to perforate one's eardrums.
Han🌹🏳️🌈@ceremonialgeek.substack.com · 3w agoPeople on this app love throwing around the term "Zionist" way too much.
