If Kemi Badenoch really thinks cutting inheritance tax for homeowners is going to win her the next election, then she's even more out of touch with the electorate than I thought. The only ones benefitting from that have considerable assets in their estate. The average voter hasn't!

Apparently, Gyles Brandreth was one of Jeffrey Archer's best friends. Why doesn't that surprise me? 🙄

Imagine being Kemi Badenoch and your job is to convince the electorate that 14 years of Tory chaos somehow didn't happen. Having to sell the idea that Brexit was a success and that environmental policies are woke nonsense. And having to believe that we will give them another chance.. 🤣🤣

A BBC reporter just referred to the triple lock as "quite generous". Is it up to the BBC to take a position on a Govt policy?

Hate it when a shop assistant asks me for my email address so they can "email me the receipt.." No thanks, you'll be sending me unwanted emails to sell me stuff I don't want, from which I then unsubscribe, but the emails continue anyway...

"There has always been a cult of ignorance in the US. The strain of anti‑intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

A unique and charismatic performer. I remember exactly where I was, what I did, and especially how I felt the first time I saw Freddie on TV. It made a huge impression on me. I'm sure the same goes for many people. He has enriched our lives and he'll stay with us forever.

Some people are disappointed that only two people have stepped down from ReformUK following the Channel 4 revelations of last night. But have some compassion; if the party was to remove all the crooks, there wouldn't be anybody left..

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States… the false notion that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge" Isaac Asimov One of my all time favourite quotes. Sadly, that same cult is manifesting itself here in the UK as well..

Yes, I listened to the whole speech and felt a sense of relief. Finally, a PM is honest about the two biggest scams inflicted on the British people by its own government. Brexit and privatised utilities - especially water.

I hate this country's obsession with Harry and Megan. What's their crime exactly? What have they done that is so offensive? Why is a prince who married a woman of colour a bigger embarrassment to the UK than a prince who sexually abused underage girls?

Oh, where to start with this... 1) Show us how you worked out 50 billion; I bet you can't. 2) Have you factored in that if UK citizens living abroad would have to come back, you'd have to pay for them here? 3) Currently, assessment takes over a year. How will you clear the backlog?

Announced less than a week after the Clacton by-election. Of course, white working class Farage voters will be hit hardest, and Reform Co Ltd knows this! The evil bastards.

He said; let the people of Clacton be judge and jury (of whether I've broken parliamentary rules; even though the people of Clacton have no say in the matter..🤣)

Their fat-cat shareholders have drawn billions in dividends while the company overcharged customers but neglected the infrastructure and maintenance. Now they want us to observe a hospipe ban. Fcuk off #ThamesWater..! The first thing our new PM should do now is #re-nationalise.

Oh come on, that's just petty. He's still the Prime Minister, and his country is in the last four of the world cup. We would expect him to be there..! Nothing to do with cronyism.

Wait,.. I'm confused now. Who exactly is "the establishment" ? Is it Nigel Farage, or is it that guy dressed as a bin?

I can't believe the BBC gave the all-important co-commentating slot (men's singles final) to Andre Agassi. Great player but a dull voice and monotonous delivery.

Farage tries to spin a narrative that he knows is false (when have we seen this before...?). The people of Clacton are not casting a verdict on his guilt or innocence even though he makes it sound as if they are. A by-election is meaningless. Assuming he wins, he can then still be suspended.
021
Jens Giles @jens34.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
I don't understand... surely the electorate doesn't decide whether he has broken parliamentary rules? If he wins this and the investigation resumes, he could still face a recall petition at the end of it. Fresh mandate or not.. !

Ehhm there is in fact a report on Russian interference, but Conservative Prime Minister shoved it under the carpet. To be fair, I've wondered why Labour didn't publish it in full when they came into power.. it probably implicates both sides..

Water never should have been privatised. It's the 2nd greatest con ever inflicted on the British public (after Brexit). How can you monopolise a commodity that we all depend on to survive; that literally falls from the sky; that essentially belongs to all of us?? What next; oxigen?
