When the UK political class is utterly embarrassed by the quality of senior civil servants it is time to wake up to the fact that politicians may steer the car but the civil service provides the engine power.
#OllyRobbins
Is there anything more depressing than politicians claiming that they have God on their side as they carry out their crimes against humanity. I suspect that most citizens would prefer the Pope’s version of Christianity.
#Ceasefire
If the Trump messaging wasn’t so grotesque it would have made a very entertaining stand up act.
His desire for self aggrandisement is off the scale and his lack of self awareness has no equal
How he managed to persuade the American citizens to support his delusions is anyone’s guess.
#Trump_Bizarre
If generations seek division between themselves regarding fairness and finance it is because the tax system is failing in its wealth redistribution objective
Money is attracted to itself like a magnet and the job of government is to disrupt the flow of money from the poor to the wealthiest
#Pensions
Bon Pâque to everyone on this platform and beyond. #HappyEaster
Starmer has that unique ability to say one thing and mean something totally different. His support for the Israeli and USA war effort remains unequivocal despite the Trump faux outrage words directed at the UK.
#Trumpified
Today whilst the USA🇺🇸 offers the world the chaos of Donald Trump it is appropriate to celebrate the excellence of the Apple company.
Happy 50th birthday to one of the most distinguished brands that the world has ever seen.
#Apple_Anniversary
The Ed Miliband delusion of instant energy independence is playing into the hands of energy rich nations who are happy to play the long game.
Citizens paying a heavy price for ideological insanity is another example of Starmer’s inability to appoint knowledgeable & pragmatic ministers.
#Iranian_War
BBC wake up to money represents my daily alarm clock and the opportunity to wake up the brain cells.
Today the impressive Megan Sutcliffe from Qwoted gave such an articulate summary of the Iranian conflict and certainly added education and information to this BBC output.
If there were any doubt it is now obvious that the Israeli secret services are capable and willing to kill anyone who they consider to be worthy of a place on their wanted list.
It is also obvious that there isn’t a country in the world that is capable of confronting their expansionism.
#MiddleEast
If Angela Rayner is the answer we need to be asking some serious alternative questions of @labouruk.bsky.social
Some women fight like a tigress to have the opportunity to bring new life into this world whilst others casually turn up to vote in order to permit abortion up to birth. Can someone make sense of this warped attitude to life. Is it liberal choice or an evil immorality.

It was always obvious that this girl had talent.
Maybe those proposing war should have experienced the carnage close up and maybe then they would be more reluctant to risk other peoples lives
Politicians like Clem Attlee knew exactly what the consequences of conflict were and the likes of Tony Blair are ignorant of such an experience.
#Jaw_Not_War
It is difficult to imagine that the USA🇺🇸 gave us so much to admire, from music to film, from the founding fathers to civil rights.
Now the sight of Trump, Hegseth and their like trampling over the reputation of such a great nation is both a tragedy & horrific.
@usatoday.com
Only the USA 🇺🇸 can bomb a country and deny that it is at war. Deluded politicians who believe that the watching world is totally uninformed.
#IranWar
When the USA congress welcomed #Netanyahu as though he was the worlds saviour; it was obvious that they were being primed for thé carpet bombing of Iran.
Make no mistake we are witnessing a war criminal of exceptional talent and a POTUS poodle not worthy of the White House.
#Poodle_President
Why do some members of the human race keep attempting to re write the scientific facts into some self indulgent wish list. The gender debate is one example from a long list that is frightening in its conclusions. Equality yes, but never at the expense of reality.
#Gender_Confusion
So easy for fleeing immigrants to be a critic of their host nation’s culture knowing that safeguards for their newly acquired freedom of speech are in place unlike the regime that they have fled from.

Starmer to Farage- “will you sack your erant councillor”
Tory MP to Starmer- “will you sack your erant councillor”
A score draw perhaps?
#PMq’s
The sight of outraged politicians in the #HouseOfCommons accusing others of being frivolous with the public purse is beyond a joke. It is as if they have conveniently forgotten their expenses claim frauds. Andrew is an unsavoury character but the pot calling the kettle black is beyond parody
For some time professional football has employed rugby body holding tactics to replace the traditional footed tackle. This was obvious watching the #Everton v #ManUtd game as the Arteta style penalty area scuffles threatened the beautiful game Maybe a 15 min sin bin (rugby) would solve the problem.
The parental challenges of dealing with their offspring’s mental health problems should never be underestimated. Parenting in normal circumstances is challenging, combine that responsibility with that of a mental health councillor and the task is enormous.

Giorgia Meloni the 🇮🇹 Italian prime minister has managed to combine a protection of Italian culture with a pragmatic command of her nation’s economy and she is proving more successful than many imagined.
@italy.bsky.social
Whenever political disagreements are decided by force the democratic process suffers immeasurably.
Macron is right to call for calm as the left & right in French politics seek to justify the murder of Quentin Deranque.
#Calm🇫🇷
Why are the media and the public surprised whenever rich and entitled people act like rich and entitled people.
Andrew is the fall guy currently, but eventually the net will catch some very rich and influential people.
#EpsteinFiles
When we start judging citizens by their conduct and not by their race, creed or colour we will start to make some social progress. Making excuses for illegal and antisocial behaviour will only ever encourage the disrupters and undermine progressive thinking.
#No_More_Excuses
Christian culture should not only be the language of the right in politics. Anyone who cares about the civilisation of the west should also encourage the left to protect their hard fought heritage.
#MunichSecurityConference2026
Many reasons exist to criticise the Trump administration but the speech in Munich yesterday by Marco Rubio suggests that the Republican Party has a visionary leader waiting in the wings.
An uplifting speech for anyone who values the best of European Culture.

Group think extends way beyond the Starmer inner circle. The cabinet and the PLP can drag any leader back to the majority consensus whenever it wishes. Starmer issues started well before his poor judgement call regarding Mendelson.
