James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Currently generating this result on Electoral Calculus. Not all that convincing but it would eliminate any chance of a Reform/Tory coalition government at least. 020
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Here's the current Electoral Calculus prediction based on current poll of poll tracking numbers. Labour dominate with 313 seats against 95 for Reform. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'm sure their art collection is all totally worthless. 120

James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's very unlikely that even the perennially deranged Mail readership would now split 74:17 on defending Brexit. This is the Mail fabricating their poll results. 120
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This is the relevant section from the Instagram statement. 020
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It oscillates regularly - not long ago polls were showing a clear lead for No - now they are showing 52:48 for Yes, but that's hardly sweeping and in no way justifies the constant demands for a neverendum. 100
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Maybe someone should buy John a motorhome, he sounds increasingly desperate these days. SNP are trending down in the polls and Labour up. 100
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Interesting. Crime has fallen in both Scotland and England, according to the Scottish government, but a little faster in England. Racism surrounding the asylum issue and Brexit, I'll grant you. 200
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The Reform policy making process will reach its zenith. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Time for Cambridge University to take this to their highest academic authority for urgent review. 010
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 04/09/2026He'll be inviting his best mate over to review the troops when it's finished. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The far right may pose as on the side of the working class, but they are always, in every country and in every era, dedicated to furthering the interests of the aristocracy, billionaires and financiers. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026A 2-state solution for Israel is laughably implausible given that the Israeli government have sabotaged it on every level. This is just a fantasy of Labour ministers. As for goods boycotts, anyone buying anything made anywhere in Israel wants their heads examining, apart from Palestinian products. 020
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Russia 'doesn't really do diplomacy any more' - they just make vile threats, this time against the UK. Given this thuggish conduct, the real mystery is why we still have a large Russian embassy sitting in London, busy coordinating actions against us. 011
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Wasps in the office. All you need for a calm office environment. (Guardian today) 020
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Would lead to a hung parliament with Labour needing to ally with the LibDems. 100
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 05/08/2026The fabulous Meta Glasses. This pair is known as the "Full Pervert". Other products may be available. 120
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Well to be fair the lads will need refreshments. Politics is hard work, especially when it's not actually politics at all, but hustling. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Tehran -> Dubai, business as usual. Makes one wonder how serious it really is when Iran drops missiles on the Gulf States. Anyone for another performance? 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 30/07/2026China AI on offer to the UK. I'm sure China can put the icing on the cake by offering its vast quantity of replacement organs to our establishment class at attractive discounts. Just don't ask where they come from. 010
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026This can't be happening because according to the Mail, Telegraph, Sun, Express, GBN and Sky News, LBC and all right wing tweeters and bloggers, London is the crime capital of the world. "Two men stabbed in broad daylight on New York City streets" - CNN news story, 24 July 2026 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Meta has the expert teams and battalions of analysts and advisers to not 'miss the mark' on something as key as this. It's hard to avoid the conclusion that their senior management simply doesn't give a shit what the little people 'out there' think. Either that or they are stunningly dim. Or both. 010
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Reform's basic position is that their MPs deserve and should receive more protection from the authorities than other MPs. Of course, they don't wish to help pay for this from the huge foreign funding at their disposal, some of it from criminal sources. Yusuf is a fairy tale monger and a charlatan. 120
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Looks like they approach customer service in the usual friendly and laid back spirit of Scientology! 021
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I was recently able to attend a meeting of the Reform national committee. 071
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Some places for Farage to hang out in central Clackie. 010
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Shame. Perhaps it's time for F'tang F'tang Ole Biscuit Barrel to step into the contest? 060
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Severn Trent email. No word about their communications with datacentres or other massive commercial consumers. I've written twice now to their CEO asking what they are doing about this. No response. 021
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 20/06/2026His Boys from Brazil project no doubt. The Fuhrer must be replicated! The fourth Reich demands nothing less. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 10/06/2026There's a place where these smirking bastards should be. 010
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I think we can probably guess his desert island book choice though. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 25/05/2026The usual Scot Nat auto-shouter accounts on Bluesky are more peaceful than usual this evening! Does slightly beg the question of how the SNP propose to run an independent Scotland when they can't stop their own party bosses from treating the party bank account like a slot machine. 100
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Here's the Mail on 16 April doing its level best to stir up the mob for a 'rape' that never happened, committed by absolutely zero asylum seekers. 0125
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Six months minimum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz - and that's after the fighting has definitely stopped, which could be a while. We are facing a lot of severe consequences - food price hikes and food shortages - drug shortages - inflation across the board. Very bad consequences for many people. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 22/04/2026LibDem gammon Leigh Frost (Bodmin), leader of Cornwall County Council, who wants to wipe out the bee populations of Cornwall as soon as possible. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Not to mention being laughably implausible! Starmer's nose is getting longer by the hour. 001
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Also where the vicars are decidedly dodgy. 060
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Wild optimism that the oil will now flow, which is a stretch given that Israel appears determined to ignore the ceasefire and the US apparently powerless to prevent them. 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Tell lies. Keep telling them. Then tell some more. JD Vance out campaigning for 'statesman' Orban. 111
