You can tell how worried the Daily Mail is by Burnham by how unhinged their headlines are. Fast approaching "enemy of the state " territory now

Said this before, but I believe this will be their undoing. Any normal person thinking about voting for Reform will be repulsed by these statements. They will always have a percentage of believers (see MAGA), but I don't think we're that far along the road yet

A vicar in Tommy Ten Names hometown of Luton absolutely nails the far-right, including Tommy in this short clip. Fair play to him as he's spot on in what he says. Things you love to see ✊

Yeah, Nigel Farage wouldn’t want this video to be shared over and over of him lavishing poodle-like praise on Donald Trump.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism @tbij.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The accountancy giant Deloitte fabricated corporate documents to help Roman Abramovich conceal at least $10bn in assets and dodge large amounts of tax. We found more than 1,000 corporate records that had been “backdated” – given a fake earlier timestamp – sometimes by as far as five years.

I think this is why Burnham is also pushing for electoral reform. Yes, with PR the far right will get a small voice, but logically there will be far more less extreme politicians to drown them out

I think Putin is indulging in a lot of grey warfare. Cyber attacks, social media misinformation, hidden donations and god knows what else. He's got some useful puppets in high places as well

I think Trump would probably pull the "well you didn't help me so I ain't helping you" card. Definitely need an alliance, but that's not going to happen soon enough. So we've got to walk this diplomatic tightrope and try to get Trump to play nice. God help us

Pompey Lady @baglady.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I'd love to see that, but reality dictates we still need their sheer numbers to deter open warfare with Russia. I'd hate to be a diplomat at the moment. Fancy having to pretend Trump is sane.

The next No Kings protest is next weekend. I think the turnout and official reaction to that will be a good indicator as to which way it's going to go. Personally I want the loon in a straightjacket in a padded cell.

Spent nearly 20 years travelling round Europe. When I finished a book I always left it somewhere it was likely to be picked up and reread. If it's a good book- pass it on. Found a few good books that way too!

It's infuriating, but I think it may be their undoing. With such a shallow pool (or damp sponge) of "talent" to appear in public, I believe Jenrick, Tice and Yusef etc will act as a turn off to undecided voters. That's what I hope anyway.

Came to a similar conclusion since the last election, but next time my main concern will be keeping Reform out. Pinning my hopes on electoral reform.
