The sea shall not have them (1954) I don't think I've seen any movie footage of RAF Felixstowe before. A random appearance of Joan Sims at Felixstowe Station was a nice surprise too! I'd give it an 8/10 (I'm a sentimental old fool).

For a moment there I thought East Midlands Trains had improved something. Alas no, the installation of sockets for phone charging is an illusion, none of them work.

Watching Last Night of the Proms reminds me of the folly of not wanting to be part of the group with our closest neighbours and friends. When did this country become so damn miserable and hard hearted? Joy and happiness might not win every battle, but it always finds a way in the end.

Why are Reform UK so intent on dividing and stoking up white fear? Why are they intent on moving to a hardcore hatred first party? You can't win power like this, all they become are racist agitators. What's going on?

A couple of moments of last nights #BBCQT gave me hope. To paraphrase I'm fed up with the lot of you, we need to get rid of First Past the Post. Yusuf getting a battering over his inability to run for office. One show in Kettering but a sign that the Reform Facade is collapsing.

🔮 Makerfield prediction: Tonight is Andy Burnham's first step to Number 10. By springtime he'll be PM and asking the country for a fresh mandate built around renewal, reconnection and electoral reform. I'm fed up with division. It's time our politics reflected the reality of modern Britain.

Changes every few years, unpopular when in place, usually a white man, behind the scenes wranglings, hounded by the press, see as too woke or too harsh, eccentric, everyone thinks they were better years ago. Dr Who or recent PMs? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Does each PM have a sonic podium that changes with each regeneration outside 10 Downing Street? When PMs have a shorter tenure than a Doctor Who actor something has gone seriously wrong.

I didn't realise how happy this would make me feel. Methodical Starmer was the perfect antidote to chaos Johnson, now the main opposition has changed to Farage. Sometimes you need to alter the team and tactics depending on who you are playing against (have that one on me @mrjamesob.bsky.social)

What's the Reform plan here, it makes no sense? Unless it's we are the common man against everyone else angle? (Which makes no sense when your party is run by very wealthy men 🤦) Maybe it's why Farage and his whippets are so angry this week - desperate to get airtime.
