I’m increasingly convinced that the news media’s flirtation with Reform was merely an attempt to make us forget about the 14 years of Tory abject failure/corruption so they can ride back in and ‘save’ the country at the next election.

Hi @bbcnews.bsky.social Reform are a party of 8 MPs, less than the SNP. Therefore, they do not have a 'Shadow Home Secretary' The Shadow Home Secretary is Chris Philp. Maybe you need BBC verify to check your own reporting...

The most depressing aspect of this is realising that so many discourse participants are too young to remember that Stewart Lee bit about how his nan couldn't tell the difference between political correctness and health and safety legislation. We already did this 25 years ago lads

Another tweet from Ben Cooper: 'So what is lanyardism? I can give you an example I heard over family dinner last night:

My retired Dad helps look after a community hall. They rent it out to amateur bands, kids dance groups, etc. It is a simple building, basically a hall with barn door exits at either end.

The RSNO wanted to hire the hall for rehearsals. Great. But they insist that the hall has a dedicated fire marshal on site, to organise the evacuation in case of a fire, as they do not want the responsibility. They do not care who the fire marshal is, only that there is one, to show people how to escape from a room with big doors at either end.

THAT's lanyardism. It's the performative act of covering your own arse in paperwork.'
