I rest my case (don’t think I need to explain the subject comparison or context here… the ‘deference’ speaks for itself… or it could be plain old sexism? Either way… archaic!

N.F & Tice, are no gentry yet there’s a level of deference ‘baked in’ to the Reform base whereby bellowing ‘I’m successful in business/made millions’ = untouchable…even if your accounts state otherwise.

Reminds me of an archaic belief, that ‘toffs’ are best to run the economy as they have wealth.

@henryriley1.bsky.social where are you 😉 #ReformRoundup #LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Well this all keeps the Bitcoin enriched, tax evading, Orban intertwined, man handlers of disabled parking people & beneficiaries of airline owner donations of out of the headlines for days on end.

And that’s just Reform’s bent behaviour in one week!!

There’s a video of 30p Lee doing the rounds,where a lady is calling him out for prioritising flags, over sorting all the potholes. I instantly thought ‘How long before she’s branded a lefty (insert chosen Reform insult of the day)’

Low & behold ‘The tax issue one’ steps up with ‘Teacher’ 🙄 #Painful

If we’re still clutching on to a teeny shred of optimism, that the media in this country play on a level field… then this should generate wall to wall coverage & endlessly scrutiny for days (if not weeks) on end, until Dickie resigns yes?

I’ll wait…

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

Let that sink in, folks.

Mean spirited?

Devoid of ethical standards, humility & respect??

Coming from a Trump?!!!

Peak 2026 & the upside down world we’re inhabiting. #MakeItStop

Quite a moment: Melania becomes the first member of the administration trying to distract the public’s attention back to Epstein in order to get them to stop talking about Iran.

How has Trump bungled his war in Iran so badly? | The News Agents Donald Trump made a “genocidal threat” against Iran on Tuesday, but wanted to run joint tolls with the same people on Wednesday as he celebrated a ceasefire. He thinks he’s done great, but has he…

"This was a war of choice, and has led to a position where Iran is stronger.

"That is the position Trump has reached, by making a genocidal threat for the whole world to see."

Trumps celebrates ceasefire – but has he really messed this one up?

Brits! 😂 🤣 👍🇬🇧

Reminder.

MAGA is a franchise, which Europe must reject. Canada did it beautifully. Fortunately the pants are falling off our Farage shaped ‘carbon copy’. The whole revolting project, can get in the bin. Ps Orban looks like a Weeble.

Next up… Truss’s ‘Wish List’ of speakers for her British CPAC.

There’ll be no public good coming from them either! Divisive, bigoted, cranks (if the last convention’s anything to go by!)

I hope the Home Office is already anticipating that one. 👀 #VisaSaysNo

That’s not good… 😳

Post Grenfell safety rules have gone too far…. Everyone dies in the end👀🤯

@thenewworldmag.bsky.social 👏

Today your water bill is rising again, after a 26% hike last year on average.

This is because the regulator is allowing extractive private companies to rinse the public.

In Parliament I'm calling to end the failed experiment of water privatisation. Time for public ownership.

That’s the very one Mark 😉

The Haunted Pencil is on Newsnight again.

He’s slagging off the French, Rwanda, Rwanda, Rwanda AND just lauded Orban & Trump, as having had dealt with immigration ‘successfully’.

Shergar?! Try Lord Bethell! A health minister in YOUR Govt, who had ‘lost’ his phone with info around £85m of dodgy Covid contracts, then… the tale turned to ‘it was broken’… & THEN (low & behold) it had been wiped prior to being ‘Gifted to a family member’

He’s still in the Lords #BritishValues 🐎💩

The broligarchy's war on journalism The capture of US media by Trump allies is accelerating and the UK is the next in line. Plus: the mystery money behind my old newspaper.

NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why?

Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia…

Eric Schlosser: The Shocking Truth Behind Fast Food and Corporate America Podcast Episode · Full Disclosure with James O'Brien · 27 March · 58min

Fabulous interview by @mrjamesob.bsky.social and Eric Schlosser. Fast Food Nation was such an influential book. Got me to stop eating fast food for 15 years.

I find it both sad (no one has felt the need to stage an intervention) & mind blowing (there’s nothing in the small print to say ‘you can’t represent as an ex PM spouting batshit theories’) in equal measure.

Then there’s also the annual £100k for life, of our money!! 🫠

This guy’s right. Tonight’s #bbcqt did have positive moments of cross party consensus & common sense on some issues. Refreshing👏

No doubt, had the ‘local MP’ been on the panel though… things would have been very different!

It’s rare for politicians to hold their hands up & admit they cocked up.

Refreshing to hear Tugendhat do just that, & for Jake Richards to acknowledge (& applaud) Tom’s honesty.

#bbcqt

That’s 2 frigates (£500m) right there!
But; you know… ‘The welfare bill’s too high’ & all that 🙄

Hardly surprised to hear Francois wang on & bash Labour over our lack of naval vessels. After 14 years of austerity & billions cut from defence under the Tories, denial & hypocrisy is what they do best!
Lord Bethell will pop up next, with some outraged opinion on McSweeny’s missing phone! 🙄
