I wish them luck, but with that pack size, they're going to need a really high rate of sale to maintain their shelf place within the category.

I think most states will ignore his emergency and press ahead with elections, and they already have judges and state law enforcement lined up to step in if his goons try to physically intervene.

On the plus side, the longer he survives, the less time his successor, Vance, will have to get his feet under the desk.

Thank you. I do like Bluesky. You get much more considered responses here than the other place.

Of course they have, they want their rich friends to resume trophy hunting and bring the skins and ivory back to USA to show off with impunity.

Kettle them, put em on a train 'home' and take them directly to an army camp. Get ALL their details before lettingthemout. . If they want to play Patriot soldiers, then conscript them into the real thing - a few beastings from the Sergeant Major would put them on the right path.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

The percentage victory is irrelevant as turnout fell from 46000 to 35000. To be fair to Farridge (and I don't like to be fair to Farridge) he did manage to get his voters out: 22,239 v 21,225 in 2024.

As Feargal Sharkey points out, there is no need. Simply impose a law fhat puts their commitments on the balance sheet, and they go bust overnight. Existing shareholders take a haircut, the govt takes over at no cost.

Nick Ferrari was known as "a big beast" of journalism, but he wears his right-wing politics on his sleeve, once again tickling Farridge's tummy and lending him a credibility he doesn't deserve. Ask the difficult questions, or retire to the Fletcher Memorial home for tyrants and kings.

I'd love to hear Phillipson smile and say, "Oh do shut up, Laura, and let me answer the question, I can't get a word in edgeways here!". I know it goes against "media-training", but sometimes you need to get to get your elbows out.

Cameron stuffed the board with confirmed Tories, Labour should've undone this in the first week of power. Labour has been too weak and too afraid to rock the boat.

That's an interruption every 18 seconds! Assuming Kuenssberg then speaks for 10 seconds, then Phillipson was given an average of 8 seconds each time before being interrupted. How can she get anything across fairly?

The other members should vote to have the next G20 in UK or an EU country; and arrest Putin if he dares to show up. (Potentially arrest Trump for war crimes too!)

Just watching Rachel Reeves on @channel4news.bsky.social . She relaxed a little at the end, but really needs some media training for a 121 interview. She spent the first 3 minutes spouting sound-bites as if on a stage, instead of engaging with the interviewer. This undermined her message.

Hey @mrjamesob.bsky.social Just thinking about tomorrow's show. Given King Charles is going ahead with his visit to USA, can listeners come up with the perfect 30 second speech for Charles to deliver as his keynote. ? (30 secs only, no interruptions from you) Cheers Chris in Dorking.

OK, yeah. Appointing a snake wasn't a good choice in the first place. But Starmer should've just taken it on the chin and explained his rationale; instead of all this weaselling about trying to avoid responsibility for his choice. For me, that just shows a lack of character.
020
Iron_Horse @chris-collis.bsky.social · 12/03/2026
IMHO it wasn't the appointment which was the issue, but the inability to deal with the fallout. If Starmer had said. "Yes, we knew it was a risk appointing the Prince of Darkness, but felt he could build a relationship with Trump..." then people would've said "Fair enough, no bigly"

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any appropriate military headgear, as he's a draft-dodger. And if he doesn't wear any hat, then the chipmunk on his head might escape and get away.

Congrats to Hanna for getting the win by injecting a little "Yes We Can" into proceedings. Starmer could learn a lot from her on the power of "Hope". He's still a lawyer living in his Black & White world. The rest of us believe in bright colours sprinkled with a little magic dust
