Hopefully the Harry Potter actor will actually be able to act by the end of the series, which will be a big improvement over the films 🤣

So the US is now easing sanctions on Russia and imposing sanctions on the ICC. Just an ever snowballing sequence of dictatorial fascist actions If Trump doesn't die/get 25th amendment soon there's going to need to be some massive calls from what's left of democracy in Europe...

I agree. But unfortunately lamb is prohibitively expensive these days for many people. Even cheap cuts like neck fillet... Aren't. It's now something we eat four or five times per year.

I love how you have the same idea of WWE as me; IE last watched it twenty years ago... I do think you missed the opportunity of Undertaker and putting things in boxes archivist banter though 🤣

Is it not likely he was getting them to steal gas from the UK to send back to the US to lower prices there?! Would fit his Venezuela heist lol🤣

BlueSky: but he didn't address my niche issue right now! I watched it in full. Don't agree with some of it eg his take on education reform, but as Ian has said, it's very broad, honest and thinking about the country as a whole. Can't wait to see the response from the RW...

Don't think it's pointless as others have said. I am somewhat sceptical that people understand the difference between various rejoin options, but again it's evidence that this is a vote winner and should be in the Labour manifesto for the next election WITH the implications clear as you state

I'm just utterly fed up of rich people thinking that just because they're rich, they have some divine knowledge about running a country, ESPECIALLY when they don't live here or contribute anything. And you can guarantee that what they do say is always about making themselves even richer.

The average Brit has no idea what this is about. Not sure why there's polling on it as it's meaningless, other than hopefully emboldening the govt that actually you can do moral stuff...

As a 50 year old black metal fan on this site, the fact that the sign is 'greater than' rather than what I assume was actually meant 'fewer than' is both my main concern, and Bluesky's concern that this is my main concern...🤣

Whereas N Essex and E Anglia coastal towns very much map onto the low education achievements/ poor economic situation split seen since Brexit which also maps onto north east, Pennine towns, South Wales... You can see that in how results in affluent bits of Norfolk/Suffolk were different

Think S Essex and N Kent is very much the post 50s move from east London with those areas now v mixed which conflates with nostalgia (least the Krays had a moral code etc) and that individualistic belief which meant Thatcher was popular...see Danny Dyer's caravan park series for example...

I agree @sturdyalex.bsky.social I said on another post there are large parts of GM which should be natural Tory ground, the Cheshire end, the 'posh' bit between Salford and Bury, the rural villages in the Pennines... Hard to see how they talk this away

That's mental. There are some properly Tory parts of GM. Well, there were... It would be ironic if all the hardcore racists went to Restore and Reform moved back to centre right (it won't happen) and left the Tories in-between...
