@mrjamesob.bsky.social Double James OB. I read the i and listen to LBC every morning! I need more balance in my life.

balletann @ballet-ann.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I love you James and listen every day, but today, we must disagree. Why should I , a lifelong Labour member not have a say in who my PM should be? No vote unless there is a contest. It’s as if the people of Makerfield have more say than me. That can’t be right, can it ?

But will it be enough. This is not a “ one off”. I sense there is a long term plan here. Farage is not the only actor in this scenario. There are others who stand to gain from his performances.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social So enjoyed this morning’s programme. Re: Epsom “ riots”. What is missing from debate is the extreme anger these rioters display. It’s as if the target for that anger is irrelevant. It’s the feeling of anger that drives them. Today immigrants. Where next?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

And the co-host of Peter Mandelson’s drinks reception before last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner was…

Daily Mail front page regurgitating Badenoch’s claim that appointing Mandelson USA ambassador makes Starmer ‘unfit to govern’.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The issues you referred to this morning… Labour in lead in betting predictions and Bannon etc. are definitely appearing onTwitter . Support for Starmer is actually quite strong there too.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Excellent section on Epstein. You are my oasis of reason and sanity. Unlike other reports, gave prominence to female perspective. Most media focussed on outcomes for men involved…so it continues… Henry V111 to 2026. It will continue after Epstein

I also thought it was pitched more towards the markets in advance of the budget. Demonstrating fiscal responsibility… and it worked. Markets barely shifted. Now she needs to sell it to the electorate.

There is no place too low for Farage to go. Using people to boost his own ego and personal advancement . Bewildered that people don’t see this. These people will be offloaded as soon as they are no benefit to him. He has no shame and is dangerous.

My dear old dad referred to men like Farage as “a spiv “. Excellent judgement. Referred to Saville as “ most unsavoury man”, long before the man was exposed.
