Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 16mClacton used to be a very safe Tory seat. So there will never be a better test of whether Badenoch has improved the popularity of Conservatives than the up-coming by-election in Clacton. It will essentially be Farage’s Reform v Badenoch’s Conservatives. Let’s see what #Clacton chooses. #Clacton 000

Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 3hI have to say it is pleasing that the @dailymail.co.uk paid a fortune to recruit a wanker like Boris Johnson and their own fucking readers hate him! Everybody hates him!! Time to fuck off and grow turnips, Boris #BorisJohnson 031
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 3hIn 2019 for example the Tories had 15% vote share. So it’s been halved. The Badenoch Fizz is as tasty to the electorate as the Truss piss. 010
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 4hYes, Boris, Kemi’s fizz won the Tories a whole SEVEN PERCENT in Holborn and St Pancras, you turnip. Thank God, the country has seen off this arse-faced tosser Johnson at least. Reduced to churning out his bollocks in the Fail. 572
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 4hhe was too nice to play thugs convincingly, I guess. but if you wanted to cast someone to look like a realistic camper, he was certainly your man. look at fucking Sid in this picture. looks 102. cackling at bab's tits. 210
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 4hWell that’s sort of what I meant by tainted! But it’s my weakness that I’m overly polite! Uni fees lie will always be a Lib Dem legacy too 110
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 4hIt’s not that Ed Davey has been bad exactly, but he certainly hasn’t been good. He’s tainted by the Tory coalition. He’s a lightweight. All those stunts. He doesn’t command a room or have a vision. And so on. Mind you, it’s odds on the Libs will pick someone worse! #LiberalDemocrats #EdDavey 230

Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 12hVery handy! Both for the data collection and getting to go to Paris a lot points of view. 110
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 12hYes it’s very confusing. Did it originally mean the right to have an independent state (which personally I support)? If it has reached the point where Zionism means the right of that state to expand into other states then that is not right. I’m not sure what the Greens were voting on exactly 120
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 13hIf he actually does anything of importance in the end it will be a godsend. I’m sceptical because I think he’s a charlatan, but I’m often wrong on stuff, so here’s hoping he is the real thing! 010

Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 13hIs Zionism the right of Israel to have a state or the right of Israel to have a state that can be expanded without limits? Truly, I’m never quite clear when people say they are anti-Zionist whether they mean they dispute the right of Israel to exist or the right for it to expand unchecked? 130

Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 15hFair enough. I know I’m in a minority on this. But the way he speaks, come on! If a manger spoke to staff like that they’d last 5 minutes. I don’t believe he’ll deliver any good policies. It’s all pie in the sky. But I’m happy to be shown to be wrong. I often am. 110
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 16hYes I loathe Andy Burnham, I confess. It’s true. I despise the patronising way he speaks as if we are all fucking idiots and he’s a reassuring (albeit cretinous) TV children’s presenter. I can’t stand him because he’s a phoney. An untrustworthy grifter. People will wake up to him eventually. 643
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 20hNot resounding for Labour; not bad really (in spite of press reaction) for Greens (+22.3). Appalling for the Badenoch Party and Reform going nowhere. Lib Dem’s lost in space. Galloway lost in Siberia. Shame to see Restore getting votes. 020
Brian @brianscant.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A few days ago the press was full of how Morgan Stanley were predicting #SpaceX would rise to $300! Suckers go piling in, stock goes up. The big boys sell off. Pump. And dump. And the suckers fall for it every time. 1143
