I'm looking for the details, and the ideal hand-hold. Please don't give me operating instructions in pictures, I learnt English.

With you 100% on that. Let that lot go off to the next field and invent complications.

@andyburnham.bsky.social Disappointed to learn that Brighton has been given the go ahead to merge with East Saltdean, Telscombe and Peacehaven against the wishes of the majority who responded to your "consultation"...

I'll stick with the cockney RS. School in NW London, with my surname, I think I'd be aware if it was denigrating the Irish. Anyway, I'm much more comfortable with "You're having a laugh!" - much less coarse.

@jonsopel1.bsky.social Masterful performance by John Shuttleworth on today's podcast, though he did rather overdo the chip on "Karl Turner's" shoulder.

Not an excuse, no. Though doesn't make it right just because Corbin got the same. It's a handicap, just like Ofcom allowing donkey-face to broadcast nonsense and lies all the time. It's hardly a level playing field for Starmer.

It's a no-win situation. He seems very wary of anything that might generate negative press. Unfortunately that is absolutely anything he does, given that the Media has had it in for him from Day 1.

"I've been clear that..." is worse. It's usually when the opposite is true, and it's passive-aggressive - "Don't you dare say otherwise."

Opposites, interestingly. One with a good location but ghastly product, the other with decent-enough offerings but effectively in the hinterland.

@jonsopel1.bsky.social With all respect - today's NewsAgents came across as a couple of chaps who'd spent too much of their lunchtime at The Dog & Duck. (A bloody good source told me that).

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social What's your view, Alastair, please - if Andrew M-W warrants arrest for misconduct in a public post, how can the same charge not apply to Johnson for knowingly overseeing the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands during Covid.

... our society rightly prosecutes individuals for causing harm to another, yet seems to give immunity to ministers who knowingly cause harm on this scale.

Trish, once again I'm feeling so grateful to you and all iS for giving us access to the reality of the situation at that time. Reading the report today and trying hard to keep down my anger. I only wish it didn't use the "avoidable deaths" language, but said "knowingly responsible for those deaths."

I'd almost forgotten how angry his stammering buffoon act can get me. I watched as much as I could take - every word, phrase that comes from him portrays him as innocent victim, or bystander. "Government" did this, "they" said that, "it was felt that..." etc etc. Foul excuse for a human.

Good to hear, but these are just two clueless Tories who didn't cover their tracks sufficiently. Meanwhile Johnson and Handcock walk free despite their dereliction of duty with regard to care homes and much more.

Of course, increased frequency and extended hours would be desirable, but given the constraints of government funding, we appear to be better served in this constituency than is the norm, nationally.

Local LD member, full supporter of our MP. But I found some of the criticism of our local buses rather extreme. In my experience, many Compass services are usually dependable (around 90%+ so), and the 28 and 29, including B'ton to E'bourne, are mainly let down by a few B&H drivers' attitude issues.

No words in the dictionary go low enough to describe this poor facsimile of a human being. Those who don't see through him should ring alarm bells for us all on our education system.

Indeed, I wish it looked as if our govt. was eager for the results, so they could drive or inform preparedness.

Steve, I often think how very grateful I am to IndySage. The clear, honest information you gave enabled us to interpret & navigate the mis- & disinformation flowing from the sociopaths in govt. Far from bringing justice, I fear this Enquiry won't even result in readying us for the next pandemic.

Man who used to set the rules, and then broke the rules, wanted tougher rules, because of people breaking the rules... Then, he and his party chums pay £100, whilst public fines reached £10K...all as 1000s died, alone...because THEY followed the rules💔 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Boris Johnson wanted authoritarian Covid rules, inquiry hears
In his diaries, Lord Vallance wrote that ex-PM thought rules were not ruthless enough.

ITV News at 10 - Reform are plugged again for the umpteenth time since May 1st as having ‘won’ English local elections. Yet Lib Dems & Greens who also had spectacular results don’t get a plug/never get a plug. WHY do we allow these one sided narratives?Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Agree entirely, it's just the transformation of all pensioners from 'poor old' to just plain 'rich' that I find so irritating. The maths exists to spread the load equally, banding will always be divisive.

Peter Flanagan @jboots.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
I can't imagine any 'kind of' that could justify blaming them entirely, or am I missing the link? Starmer's bizarre indecisive procrastination is just encouraging group v group blaming all round.

Peter Flanagan @jboots.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Yes, much better to kick flavour-of-the-month evil group, the 'rich' pensioners, than to spread the load evenly across society. Because of course, the pensioners are entirely responsible for keeping the Tories in power for fourteen years.
