Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Moved from Keir’s conference speech to have a peek at Trump’s meeting with all the General’s. It is completely batshit crazy. They were told that ‘war fighting’ includes being deployed to inner city war zones. This cannot be what they signed up for. Plus Pete Hegseth looks he is as a high as a kite 150
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Is it significant that he referred to the negatives of Brexit a few times in his speech today? It has been the elephant in the room for his time in opposition and first year in government. I dare to hope there will be more of this as it underpins everything that is wrong right now 020
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 30/09/2025The Labour conference audience are doing everything they can to support and pep Keir Starmer up with his speech but his delivery is just dullsville and this is as good as it gets. This is who he is 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Have these big conference speeches had their day? It looks quite outmoded and does it fit with how politics is being done or should be done now? Whose watching? I’m old school but suspect the audience is tiny 110
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Have settled down to watch Keir’s speech live. Absolutely hate the compulsory looking flags in the audience 100
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Hate the increasingly depressing immigration rhetoric from the Home Secretary. Compulsion to ‘volunteer’ is NOT volunteering. More like unpaid labour I would say 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 29/09/2025I am not a golf fan but have found this #tydercup quite compelling due to the unbelievably poor loser behaviour of the Americans. It demonstrates to the world how Trump got elected again & how isolated and insular they really want to be. I was stupidly giving them the benefit of the doubt. No more 020
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Very interesting in respect to U.K. #digitalid plans 000
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 27/09/2025These early shows are far too long for me so will watch on catch up tomorrow so we can whizz through the boring talkie bits #strictly 040
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 27/09/2025The Americans really are bad losers aren’t they? Rude wankers at #rydercup Cone on Europe! 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 25/09/2025If we are heading down this route to tackle so called illegal immigration, please don’t refer to Digital ID Cards as Brit Cards. It sounds tacky and plays into the populist nationalist playbook 020
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 25/09/2025He really has no problem in NOT doing what he says should be done by others. He seems to be fine just fronting it out again and again 020

Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Love this. My London and the London I know and watch from Puglia 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 22/09/2025There should now surely be public health warnings with all media reporting of Trump talking on medical, health and pharmaceutical issues. He is endangering lives and the general health of a nation. He is dangerous 010

Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Frightening but listening to today’s news reporting we are watching this in real time 0126
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Fuhrage has done it again & grabbed the news agenda & headlines today. I momentarily forgot that the Lib Dem’s are mid conference today as they are getting so little attention. Plus don’t get me started on the Charlie Kirk coverage. A total shit show this Monday morning 000

No places of safety. Hardly any food or clean water. If you survive, you can never think “I’ve survived. I’m going to be OK.” People live from day to day like zombies in a hellscape. 16530

But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.news.sky.comUK officially recognises Palestine as a stateSir Keir Starmer has announced the UK has officially recognised Palestine as a state. 19503130
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 21/09/2025This sounds interesting and could be a much healthier blueprint for the U.K. to look at going forward #electoralreform 021
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Here in Italy there will be a general strike tomorrow to show solidarity with the people of #gaza It will affect public transport services, schools, universities and other public services. The level of take up remains to be seen but the support for the Palestinians is very strong & visible here 030
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Ah, so Tom Skinner is another fake cockney, Reform flirting grifter on #strictly Man of the people? What a joke & he’s Dad Dancer 061
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 20/09/2025The fact that Zarah Sultana launched #yourparty on her own as she was sick of waiting for the boys means this was probably always going to end in tears but momentarily there was hope for something new & exciting from the Left. It’s over to Zack Polanski & the #Greens to show us an alternative way 121

Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Am watching #bbcnewsnight for the first time since it’s revamp this year & the time is so tight now that the presenter Katie Razzell is almost breathless trying to whizz through their news schedule & interviews. It is so lightweight now and leaves us with just Channel 4 News offering more analysis 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Peter Kyle says he was not perturbed by yesterday’s central London demo. That’s alright then. Says it shows free speech is alive and well in U.K. Plus he is very clearly a Mandy super fan. Peter Kyle can do one, he really can. This government is showing itself to be a total shower of shits 010
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Just a thought but why couldn’t the police use the infamous facial recognition for demo yesterday? It is deployed for events involving black and brown people like Carnival or pro Palestine demos involving Muslins. Institutionally racist Met police failing to police an obviously racist march 031
Puglia Princess @follies.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Currently watching #bbcproms and the rendition of Land of Hope & Glory feels questionable tonight in view of the display of so called patriotism in central London today. It’s been a tough time recently and I think I am just sick of seeing the all the flags 010
