Nice to see you here, Cake Trolley

I was thinking this morning how both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan would have been delighted to see a Westward-looking, centre-right party defeat a pro-Russian autocrat in a former Eastern Bloc country.

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating.

Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

The FT's bosses knew that when the paper reported on a major hedge-funder that litigation would ensue. You have to be brave to face the possibility of a £79m lawsuit and shelling out over £10m in costs. The FT's confidence in its excellent reporting paid off. Well done. www.ft.com/content/6966...

Aha. I saw what you did there..... 😁🤣

👇🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷

This is a very scary summary of where Trump's idiotic and needless war of likely to take us.
Worse than COVID in terms of numbers of dead.
An end to US power and it's respect across the world.
World will need years to recover.

Impossible to get marshals to turn up two days running. Thousands of helpers needed, roads across London closed. Stupid idea - would not last five minutes in any chat among running club members. Ok at the moment as it's on a Sunday. Imagine doing it on a Saturday?
What are these people drinking?

Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.

"This motion contains statements that are prejudicial, discriminatory. It is an abuse of this council. We will not lend legitimacy to it and we will leave"

Lib Dems, Labour, Green and Cons all walked out.

It wasn't easy but it was right.

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

Great stuff, and and excellent time 👍

March, 19-21: God is a comedian A stiff drink is recommended

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation.

I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment.

This summary is just fantastic.

a-grade satire from @hugorifkind.bsky.social as always

Binge-watched it, twice. Each scene a lovingly-crafted beauty. A perfect pace of action maintained throughout. A work of genius.

I am disgusted by this motion, containing many false claims, that the ruling Reform Group have put down for full council next Thursday.

I'll have 3 mins to speak against it.

It's so bad I don't know where to begin.

Not unlike the Derbyshire budget meeting in where a 4.9% increase was unveiled as a tax cut (max is 4.99%)

Need to think.... 🤷

Not only is there always a tweet, there is always a truth social

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Whiteboard updated.

I organised an event at County Hall today to remember the 4th Anniversary of the outrageous Russian invasion of Ukraine.

We remembered the victims of the war and expressed our hope that Ukraine will win and western countries will continue to support them until they do.

It's a great community occasion. Nice music. Free beer! 🤫👍
