Apparently she is denying that the Tories are returning to being ‘the nasty party’. She is correct. They never stopped so can’t return.

There have been warnings that we would not be able to enter on the terms we left. We might have to join Schengen and adopt the Euro. So, even more attractive!

British nationals from London. Difficult to see why they needed small boats although the River Thames does flow through London and Gloucestershire so they must have brought those white vans on small boats.

I feel so sorry for Sir Ed Davey. Excellent speech this afternoon. But, little News coverage because of so much coverage of Trump’s rambling megalomaniac speech at the UN. Seems impossible for the Lib Dems to get appropriate coverage.

Never has a party been more aligned with the interests of cream from Devon and Cornwall - rich, thick and full of clots.

Great article as always. Sadly, I don’t get to read as regularly as once I did since my Guardian subscription stopped including the Observer. Just one little point- I think you will find that by Reform’s linguistic take, Mr Harborne is not a foreigner but an ex-pat 😀

That’s alright then. I was worried for a moment. 😠

Anyone abusing RNLI volunteers should be put on a boat, taken out to see and there forced to watch every episode of BBC2’s Saving Lives At Sea. RNLI volunteers are absolute heroes.

At last there is something I agree with Farage about. Were he to become UK Prime Minister, it would indeed be a state of emergency.

How totally unreasonable of the Swedes to kick out innocent Britons. Immigration is a uniquely British issue and it is only the British that have right to do this sort of thing (for the benefit of anyone who needs it, these remarks are ironic)

As a Colchester resident I have a simple message for these Reform morons. NOT WANTED HERE.

With such heartache in the world, there are few things in the news that bring joy, but whenever an anti immigration bigot gets deported it is absolutely hilarious. 🤣

People are fed up with privatised water companies letting us down and ripping us off. We deserve a real conversation about public ownership. Can you help build pressure by asking your MP to attend this crucial debate on water ownership? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Reform is unlikely to be in a position to do immeasurably economic damage to the country by forming a government, but right now does immeasurable economic damage by being perceived by EU countries as a possible government.

A big ‘thank you’ to the nearly 10,000 voters in the Clacton of Clacton who had enough wit and good sense to vote for Count Binface

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

it’s very tempting to feel that Farage is Clacton’s decision and problem, but there are neighbouring areas of Essex that are more progressive such as Colchester (Lab MP ) which under the government’s reorganisation is about to lose it’s own local authority and be bunged in with these morons.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Not sure about that. My Cornish mother seemed surprised that having voted for Brexit, the massive subsidies to Cornwall stopped for some reason. How weird is that?

To be fair to Norwich it is a lot more progressive than the rest of Norfolk and is ‘a fine city’

The big difference is that Cornwall has a long established indigenous party with significant support and local council presence. It is called Mebyon Kernow which translates into English as Sons of Cornwall.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

As a Cornishman with family still in Cornwall but having lived in Essex for several decades, I can tell you that there is plenty of ill-informed racism in Cornwall. There is also far too much Reform support for comfort in Cornwall.

Anybody remember when the Conservatives at least claimed to be the party of law and order?

I’ve complained to the BBC calling for equal coverage of Count Binface who as far as I am aware is not planning military conflict - i.e. war with a nuclear armed France.

France? Just like the good old days for which so many in Reform probably yearn.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Not quite - the policy is now to use the Navy to force migrants back to France and if the French are reluctant to take them, then the Royal Marines will force the French to accept them. Then what. French police who are routinely armed opposing the Royal Marines leads to shooting- we have war with

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

The crank candidate for the Clacton by-election is proposing a war with France and getting media coverage for it. Surely Count Binface deserves equal air time.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

@bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social I wish to protest at today’s news coverage for a crank candidate in the Clacton by election, calling for war with France. Surely there should now be equal coverage for the policies of Count Binface.

The hindsight around the issue of school closures seems to ignore the problem that adults work in schools and there would therefore have been increased numbers of adults getting ill and dying, leading to unplanned school closures.

One of them is now the Conservative Education Spokesperson in the House of Lords. I well remember stressed HMI tearfully saying, ‘I know we need to look after the interests of children but I don’t want to die.’

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I well remember the having to stand up to the ‘let’s get back to normal’ ideologues’ to force inspectors back into schools to help spread the virus.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I am normally a great fan of the Newsagents but their assertions around school lockdowns certainly need challenging. I was not only one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors during the pandemic but was at that time branch convenor of the civil service union that represents them.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

You are of course right but my not brilliantly expressed point is that British ‘exceptionalism’ has always denied us the full benefits. I am very sad this week because I have bought a new car and lost by GB surrounded by EU stars.

Adrian Lyons @adrianlyons.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Absolutely agree about the Mail, but actually we never enjoyed the benefits of border free travel as the John Major government sought to placate the anti Europe extremists by refusing to join the Schengen Agreement. As a result we enjoyed border free travel once abroad but still had queues

Of course a fall in the rate of inflation is not a fall in the cost of living. Rather, prices on average rose over the last 12 months by on average by 2.6%. Too many people do not understand this due to an absence of basic economics education,
