Regardless of everything else, this should be applauded and appreciated. A great story.

Just the dumbest collection of halfwit confetti emerging out of that conference. Tax cuts everywhere, paid for with imaginary spending cuts. Huge spending projects with precisely zero utility, except to anchor their 'defence day' narrative. Clowns.

Now that Andy Burnham has reopened the Europe question, free movement will be at the centre of debate. For @arguablymag.bsky.social I argue that it's a big benefit, not a price to be paid for a better trade relationship. www.arguably.uk/p/eu-free-mo...

EU free movement is an opportunity, not a threat

Progressives need to rediscover the positive case for immigration

Also worth reminding everyone *on repeat* that Farage has achieved nothing of constructive value in politics.

Barely a week passes in Lincolnshire without a white male sexual predator being charged and convicted. No outrage from the Reform-led County Council about that...but show them a solar farm & they're apoplectic

Is anyone else absurdly excited at the prospect of Ken Russell's 1971 film The Devils being released in a full, 4k restored version. Its been unavailable for years but I saw it in 1971 (I think) and would love to see it again.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

I suspect that some of the thugs screaming about 'fighting age men' are really itching for the chance to have a proper ruck with them. Calm heads are needed.

Yelling "stop the boats!" as I charge in to rob this NatWest at gun point so that I can later call the Home Secretary as a character witness and the BBC will spend two weeks telling all my potential future jurors how legitimate my concerns were.

I know 2 wrongs don't etc etc, but it seems to me these thugs are looking for a ruck somewhere and it seems to me there's an increasing need to go back to the Battle of Cable St to see how it's done.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

My non-savvy arguments: 1. It's the biggest expansion of freedom for Europeans that the EU has delivered. 2. Brits are Europeans. Why does everyone else in democratic Europe get this benefit and not us?

Two of these people around Farage were in and out of the Russian Embassy discussing Gold and Diamond deals. The third has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for taking Kremlin Gold. How does anyone believe Nigel didn’t know?

I had that when we looked at solar panels. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Go for a local contractor if you can find one, especially if they have Heat Geek accreditation, and make sure you have a site survey.

I have a theory that the clock stopped in Lincolnshire in about 1989, as Thatcher slowly started to go mad. The place simply hasn't moved on.

Elizabeth David's Risotto Milanese is my wife's favourite. I use long grain brown rice - sweat onion, add rice, cook off w a glass of Verdicchio, add stock & cook for at least an hour to get creaminess with the right texture to the rice. Dollops of butter & pecorino to finish, nothing else.

If you dare venture into Lincolnshire, you'll find that no one EVER stops talking about it. It's the land that time forgot - people are perpetually stuck in 1941, watching Lancasters flying off the bomb dams.
