Got to say that I am becoming less and less impressed with Bluesky. Outages (unable to load a feed, for example) are simply too frequent.

Encouraging noises from Burnham. But simply must deliver. Needs too to move faster on nationalising water, do much more on environment and climate, stop this arresting of Palestine campaigners, and crack down hard on masked blackshorts. Otherwise not bad.

Advice, please! My new book is a battalion history. The history itself, by the time I have added maps and index, is ~400 pages. Part 2 consists of biographies of every officer and will be ~200 pages. So ... produce as one heavy volume or two smaller, easier to handle volumes? Thoughts? #ww1 #book

Not this c*nt again... After getting the Brexit he pushed for, he shifted chunks of his UK businesses over to the EU - plus himself to low tax Monaco. If everyone damaged the UK like that faketriot, we really would be f*cked. Surprised he's not relocated Man U to Europe yet.
