Thanks to the brilliant @snellarthur.bsky.social for a lively discussion about the US's betrayal of Ukraine, and Trump's slavish relationship with Russia. Why does the US president behave like this? My answer: greed, ideology, dictator envy and kompromat, collected by the KGB and its FSB successor

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

I am taking my show 'JUPITER' on tour next year. The show is a story about a time in my life when I was an estate agent on the planet Jupiter. One day a well dressed young couple came in and said they were thinking about relocating to Earth. The story goes from there really.

I'm sorry if this is obvious but the Tory proposal to exempt family homes completely from IHT will lead to 1] pensioners buying the biggest houses they possibly can 2] pensioners refusing to downsize which can only be bad news for younger families trying to buy family homes

Will we get some of the money saved from the end of the triple lock? Currently, the care system will be a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 arrangement, as we have our own, but the reform will affect 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 pensioners.

Jenny Cooper @jennycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Question. Triple lock affects all UK pensioners. But the money saved will be used for a social care system in England and Wales. Will Scotland and NI get an appropriate proportion of the money saved?

It never stops being important that, no matter what the subject, politicians like Farage, Trump & Rubio are entirely untethered from the most basic requirements of honest discourse. They might turn out to be telling the truth sometimes but only ever in the spirit of stopped clocks.
