Cherish free speech but not abuse or cruelty. Mental health matters. We live in challenging times so we mustn’t let the search for the ideal, distract us from overcoming the bad.

Absolutely and they also claim to want to protect women by abusing women who disagree with them.

The power of the cult. A self appointed leader cons followers into believing everything he says even when there’s no credibility to the claims. Dangerous stuff, just look at the US right now. Shutting down media to cover up the true casualties and damage to US bases in Trump’s latest war.

I have reported blatant scam accounts to Facebook but the response is that they don’t break facebook rules, which tells you everything you need to know.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James, it’s hard to know where Trump is on a sliding scale between stupid and evil. I guess he’s quite smart with his corruption and insider trading. He has used his unpredictability to exert power over other people. Either way he’s very dangerous.

It’s a good question and I hate to think what the answer is. Nostalgia has a very selective memory.

Sadly you are bang on, as usual and this seems to have been orchestrated by the usual suspects.

A fascinating and informative conversation. As you say, mind blowing and it was obvious that you were enjoying it as much as I did. Thank you

You are probably right but I was trying to be optimistic! I think some voters may have buyers remorse especially if they want help from an MP.

Potentially he could be suspended long enough to trigger a recall petition in Clacton. He could stand again and then lose. Mind you he might win another election so it doesn’t seem a very likely outcome.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Didn’t Nadhim Zahawi do this and where is he now? Oh hang on perhaps this is Reform policy. 🤔

The only very small consolation is that it’s backfiring on them in many ways. Perhaps it could help people in the UK to see that it may not be a good idea to vote for someone who worships a fraudster and rapist.

At a local by-election last year I had numerous copies of their flyer promising to cut taxes. Thankfully the majority didn’t fall for their lies so they lost. Farage has no shame in denying what we can see in front of us.

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

If we bring them back here can we make them stay long enough (keep their passports 😊) to be liable for tax?

Definitely no expert but the word defensive could mean that we are monitoring events closely and ready to protect and evacuate citizens if necessary.

He’s absolutely crazy and presumably it will do nothing to promote health, just his financial health. The sooner he exists only as a memory, the better.

Andy Buchan @andybuchan.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
I take your point and there are many aspects that aren’t working and solving one can make another worse. Reducing payments now will make the debts grow even faster. Debts are unsustainable and if we ease the burden now people can have better lives and prospects now, not waiting to write off debts.

Andy Buchan @andybuchan.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
The crazy part of student loans is that we will eventually write off the debt. If we reduced the debt burden now we help the graduates immediately and they have a better chance of paying off the loan.

Just to be pedantic, Reform isn’t a PLC because it would then be publicly accountable. It’s a private limited company controlled by one person, Farage. I don’t believe he would want more work but less money so I suspect he will sell the company at some stage possibly to vested interests abroad.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Please remember that the agenda has been set by the Trump team with the selective release/redaction of the Epstein files which is distracting a largely complicit media so they focus on anyone other than Trumps inner circle. Starmer isn’t in the files but Farage is.

Can he take Michelle Mone with him?

Andy Buchan @andybuchan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
I’m obviously seeing too many posts supporting Reform! I think reforms are difficult while it’s so easy to dissolve companies and erase debts. It’s become common practice so Mone did it and Sunak’s wife also dissolved companies leaving significant debts owed to HMRC and ironically in Covid loans!

Reform won’t be doing anything to harm the wealthy, they are the ones they are working for.

Can they do the same for Michelle Mone who managed to get away with taking £120m of tax payers money.

I think that this year many will see the benefits coming from the work of this government which can turn opinions favourably. Yes I’m optimistic but I see some positive signs. The last thing we want is to go back to Toreform.

He did commit to serving a full term as Mayor so in addition to the distraction of election campaigns wouldn’t the right wing media be desperate to undermine his integrity potentially losing both elections?
