I remember the Pipe of Peace (?) track with the yodelling. Ian Dury played it as he came on stage.

Not sure if this is correct but Ian has left the English language with some loving everyday sayings. Reasons to be cheerful, Sex and drugs and rock and roll, Clever Trevor and Rhythm Stick.

Sorry I disagree, London has a fantastic integrated transport system. Shenfield to Reading east to west. Brighton to Luton north to south. It even has a cable car included in your oyster card.

The Cryptocurrency Reform party is trying to whip up a storm about Stirling, why should it bother them? It's just another hatred band wagon to hitch up on.

What a great picture, it uses foreground, middle ground and the background. So much going on in one picture.

She is a hypocrite of the finest order. Critical of immigration in the UK from a Country where she is an immigrant. Pointing this out every time she is interviewed would shut her down immediately. She is used to stir up division and hatred, a terrible woman.

I do love a bit of Mancini. I have been looking for a copy of this, at a decent price, for years. I love the track Lujon. ebay.io/m/36xCLO

The taxpayer is already down £12m, paid to someone he claims he had never met. I hope he opens a can of worms and goes to jail

This is madness, I can't believe he has been advised to do this. He will open the can of worms of why he paid £12m to someone he has never met. Mind you what do I care, get rid of the lot of 'em.

I do not want him to turn back the clock. I want a Country that can embrace change and move forward. To become inclusive to young,old,black,white, rich or poor. Billionaires should not be calling the shots.

Not really sure what you are saying. If the basic pension is reduced,by not keeping in line with earnings,are you saying Pensioners will be able to claim another benefit?Or are you saying well off Pensioners will not notice the reduction? We have one of the lowest pensions in the EU.

So Starmer wasn't hounded by the right wing press? Burnham will also be hounded. Being a Labour leader and being hounded is par for the course.

"Too electable" oh dear, is there such a thing? I only deal in reality, you seem to have gone down a Corbyn rabbit hole. Move on, the Labour Party is in a healthier place now in regards to staying in power.

BillyBentley @billybentley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Politics is a dirty game, it always has been and always will be. Burnham will face the same pressures. Even you must realise history will show, Corbyn never got elected in two GEs then got deposed by his own party. Time to get behind Burnham and a Labour Party that is electable.

BillyBentley @billybentley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Whereas Burnham does cut through in those areas, hence the turnaround for Labour in the Polls.

BillyBentley @billybentley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Not quite sure of your point. He lost 2 GE's and a vote of no confidence from his own party. That is the definition of unelectable.

BillyBentley @billybentley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Corbyn was unelectable in the eyes of the electorate.... game over.
