Best Bluesky bio.
- This is my main beef with guys like McSweeney. Literally any of us can read what polls say, or listen to a focus group. The "special skill" appears to be doing so without any consideration of the non-electoral consequences.

View full threadShe was nominated by seven who are now sitting Cabinet ministers in 2020 and in the event of a leadership change now would get more than that.
- Why do we rarely hear from her these days? Does Starmer want her sidelined or is she disassociating herself from Starmer?
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says Labour will restrict the number of care workers from abroad. Going forward employers should recruit locally. One thing we learned from Brexit: Brits will not fill all those jobs that immigrants currently do.
- My mum's care home has a high percentage of staff recruited from India because they can't recruit enough locally.
- one of the few bonuses of Trumpism is it gives us more validation for hating New Age woo types than we could possibly have imagined
- The latest pick for Surgeon General seems to echo the New Thought movement. 🗃️ “Perhaps the body is simply the material ‘radio receiver’ through which we can ‘tune in’ to the divine." “Humans are out of alignment with the Earth and depleting its life force." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
- Sometimes being closed-minded helps lock all the bullshit out.
- It's probably too alternative even for Jeremy.
- Reform UK councillors face allegations of sharing far-right and Islamophobic content www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
- It's always the people you most expect.
- The Coalition of the Willing meeting in Kyiv appears to have gone well. Leaders had a joint call with Trump immediately afterwards.
- Hope they woke him up.
- Are these empty homes in the imaginary empty room with you now Zoe?
- The Mayor’s green belt proposal won’t solve London’s housing crisis. It’s just more luxury homes dressed up as a good deal for Londoners. What we need is need rent controls, a freeze on Right to Buy and to take back control of the thousands of empty homes across the city. @cprelondon.bsky.social

- The proletarian middle class has always known what is best for their less enlightened comrades.
- No, that is not how to think about it.
- I'm going to go with 1. Tottenham might be a better team. 2. They might have found a way to play against Utd's system. 3. Utd did just beat a decent Spanish team twice.
- We're shit. Our recent run of good form against European sides makes me wonder if instructions (hoof and hope, two man midfield pivot, defenders defending etc) for those games are not clueless Postecoglou's.
- Instant block for an annoying fight-picking man in my mentions who doesn't understand the difference between "a holiday" and "travelling for work".

- It’s bollocks but as soon as I boarded my BA return flight I felt I was nearly home. The free drinks helped. AA are terrible, even internally. Delta, meh.
- handy for your escape home, though ...
- Oh yes. And I booked my own flights. Always BA. ‘Why don’t you fly United?’ ‘Because it’s shit’
- oooh the glamour!
- At the end of Dulles airport runway.
