A Caturday question. After handling anything mint flavoured, does anyone else, who values their fingers, have to make sure they *thoroughly* wash their hands before going near their cat?

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive £2.7bn per year in tax breaks www.standard.co.uk/news/politic... 🧵...

I'm not sure if I'm just paying attention more, or if governments are being increasingly brazen in their disregard for the welfare of the people that they pretend to serve. It's always gone on, obviously, but it seems so shameless and normalised.

Something I've seen Reform voters say a few times is "But you said you supported Labour/Starmer!"... yes, but now Labour no longer align with those people's views, so they no longer support them. How is this unclear? If you stick with a leader/party no matter what they do then you're just in a cult

At the risk of being labelled a radical extremist, I think we should bring actual accountability (back) to politics.

A picture of a black and white cat sitting next to a desk that is being used for miniature painting. The cat is staring intently, in a diverting braincell to impending mayhem way, at a white mug containing water that has been used to wash off the brush. In the foreground is a Frontier Wargaming wet palette with purple and metallic silver paint on it, and in the background a few racks of the Frontier Wargaming paint case are visible with assorted expensive tiny bottles of acrylic paint.

Just so we are all on the same page, Farage probably knows the investigation won't go anywhere, but he's just setting the media narrative in the minds of the Reform voters to give them another excuse to fall back on about why they lost. They will lap it up.

I see "sectarian" is the political buzzword of the moment, and that people are repeating it, as if it means anything in this context, without troubling themselves with a dictionary. So, as a proud member of the "trying not to be an insufferable arse" sect. Vote Green 💚

Labour would have been fine with Reform winning Gorton and Denton because they would have claimed it validated their anti-immigrant and anti-trans policies and doubled down. Very happy that the message was clear: You should have treated people with respect and basic decency.

Reform asked voters of Gorton and Denton to 'channel their patriotic Blitz spirit' And they did just that - by defeating fascists.

3) Don't play dirty. The bizarre claims about the Greens in relation to drugs and sex workers were desperate, embarrassing, and harmful. It is no wonder they did not work and instead reflected badly on our party.

I imagine a lot of Labour MPs are unhappy with Keir Starmer right about now after the Green Party win in Gorton and Denton. Oh well, hopefully some of the tools his father made were spanners, as there's a constituency in need of a plumber 😁 Well done Hannah and the Greens 💚

Apparently not as they raised taxes because they were wrong...

As they did at the council level.

How does that mean reform can lower taxes? Sounds like the opposite.

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
OK, so now we are back at, how do they know it will work on the national level if they win a GE? or will they just say "We can't the last lot left too much of a mess. Taxes need to risse"?

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
They said that about councils, and still put up taxes?

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Not sure other than budgets they have to publish, but let's say that it wasn't available, how are reform now promising to lower taxes for the entire country with no data? It seems to me that they just tell people what they want to hear until they get elected and blame the previous lot.

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
So you're saying they didn't do their homework before promising not to raise taxes, but also we should trust them when they say they will lower taxes if they win a general election? They can't even figure it out at the council level.

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
All Reform run councils have raised taxes despite saying they wouldn't. Don't be fooled...

I'm an inside cat", the Planet Express ship from Futurama, one with just text that says "Easily Motivated by Snacks", and The Luggage

Apparently Reform now want to keep the Welsh out of England... I thought he was going to turn out to be a bot that spams "Vote Reform" on posts about multilingual subjects, but he replied to someone. Comment has just disappeared so either BBC deleted or realisation kicked in 😂
A screenshot of a BBC news article on Facebook. The post reads "A councillor for the area welcomed the idea of bilingual signage in supermarkets, but said it should be in "Cornish not Welsh". The article images is of the sign which reads "Bwyd môr" as well as "Seafood"

The comment included in the screenshot reads "England is for the English. Vote Reform"
