But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,

“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”

Oh it really can.

You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

Come on #FBPE vote or watch the Brexiteers win this poll.

Yes is winning on 58%

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU.

Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well...

Awe noo! 😧 I saw Clannad live once, fabulous, very much the sound of my youth. Such talent and a haunting voice.

😆👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇪🇺

BREXIT - 63% Now Want Back In. Thanks, Trump! YouTube video by Truth To Power

We need to #RejoinEU asap.

Here's a very clear video as to why. Please share it widely. youtu.be/D2cXBwIw6C0?...

🤡 The Brexit irony is extraordinary.

Britain helped design a system to manage/control borders across Europe.

Then we chose to leave, turning ourselves from insiders into third-country aliens.

Now 🇬🇧 citizens are subject to very scrutiny Brexiters wanted to impose on others.

Brexit lost control.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all.

It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media.

Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

They have loads of 1:35 stuff. Shameless plug enclosed but here's the website they do mail order, but you can't beat a visit in person.

It'll enrich your modelling to physically connect with all the goodies.

...you'll be even more of a legend after a visit. 😀👍🏻

Pop into one. My local is Access Models in Newark. I go in to look at what's new on the shelves. I've been known to come out with all sorts of odd things after seeing it 'in the flesh', a 1:24 tractor of all things. 😆

So what has the EU ever done for us?

Want all these EU membership benefits back?
Let's #ExitBrexit and #RejoinEU

Oh you must, it's a classic. 😆👍🏻

How this guy has a media position above 'earthworm' is beyond me.

If I ever do want lessons on what the public interest looks like I'm pretty sure I won't take them from a thin skinned, self interested, tax avoiding, Brexit supporting, billionaire.

Well that's different! Looking forward to seeing this arrive and become a finished model. 😀👍🏻

Solar power station in Spain as spotted from the air at 30,000ft.

Love Spain. Amazing country and people. I see this solar power station on the way to Malaga sometimes. Often wondered how well it works. 🤔 All nations should go renewable regardless, but it flattens out oil shocks anyway. 👍🏻 Win-win.

If Kemi was PM, we'd be at war by now.

...and Farage too.

Just have to sit and make models whilst waiting I guess? 😄 Loving your recent stuff. The Trabbie looks like fun, especially in the Berlin wall/suitcase pose. Clever idea 😃👍🏻

Any news on the 2nd series? 🤔

Yep. War is wasteful. I find myself wondering if aliens have already discovered us, but choose to ignore us because we're a destructive species.

One of my favourite tv progs. Excellent comedy, plus it's filmed in the summer and yiu can feel the warmth coming off the TV.

Small Prophets is just as good, possibly even better. Mckenzie Crook has definitely made his mark on British TV. 😃

Me too. He can't face up to reality or an opposing view. I'd love to see the HoL face a pruning. Claire Fox is another one. Struggling to see how they make a useful contribution to the UK.

Nottinghamshire County Council members row at pothole protest Reform UK's Mick Barton and Sam Smith from the Conservatives argue in front of a dozen protesters.

Of course it's political you pillock! #Reform are not upholding their electoral promises to fix the roads. It really is the worst its ever been.

...but hey, they had public money for sodding flags.

Traffic cone reflecting car lights in the darkness revealing position of dangerous pothole.

Here's a thing that's becoming commonplace in #Nottinghamshire with our #Reform ( #Refuk ) council. Traffic cones placed by locals to warn of dangerous potholes. Sooo many folk reporting damaged cars now.
Council sprays a pothole, fills it badly weeks later, but ignores the two whoppers next to it!

Excellent responses to a bigot.😄👍🏻

Well done Bedford Borough Council.

Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU, ITV poll finds

www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

Exactly. It's what the UK voted for, and precisely what I voted against.

Impressive! I salute you. 🫡

Happy pancake day! Nigel Farage is a tosser.
