So now we're funding Putins war in Ukraine and fighting it by supporting their defence efforts. Is it me or is,this chuffing stupid?

They just need one more set of massive cuts in services at the bottom and taxes at the top then it'll start trickling down. Definitely will next time, just need to believe

Is Kemi speech just a greatest hits from Thatcher, Major & Johnson with a few personal jibes? Feeling like I've heard this all before

Omg, Trump speech on the radio. Where's the live fact checking? People think this is leadership?

A lot of Reform supporters see those donations as some great justification. Billionaires agree with us, see, we must be right. It's like they have the secret knowledge that we don't see. Similar to maga in a way

I used to notice this in my old job going over to Texas. Nearly everyone in El Paso was fine with it, by the time you got to Irvine and Dallas, immigrants bad, then Oklahoma, ooh. I felt nervous enough being British and reading a book at dinner

I can't be the only one that shuddered at the end of his speech. Loading the lords with reform majority and dismantle judicial review. I'm sure there's historical precedence for actions similar to that somewhere

Others will sacrifice themselves first to keep their leader in place. It's like the initial nanny that Damien Thorne had and Mrs Baylock.

Oh, the live feed of Reform conference is comedic. Farage already late for his big speech. Hopefully the met have arrived since lunchtime

I've been saying this since he became an mp first time round. He'd be 100% accountable and have to give up his side hustles. No way he'd be able to hold it together. Imagine PMQ's with him, he'd never hold it together

I'm on bottled gas for my heating and water, just ordered some and that works out 14.7p per kwh, as opposed to 7.3p for mains gas. Did the sums and, while electricity is 26p, it's still cheaper. 5 years ago the gas cans currently £90 each, were £55

Is that the sound of Jenrick sharpening his knives from the backrooms of conference?

Sleepless in Benwick @jmurkin.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Someone should keep an eye on Jenrick over the next few days. He'll be sniffing out support at the fringes of conference if he smells blood. Just need the media to treat Farage like everyone else now......

Zia gets twice what Jenrick or Anderson get for their speeches. What's 30pLee going to talk about for 15 mins? Tempted to tune in just for the comedy value

Just finished this tonight. It's worth more than 5/5. Great cast, story paced just right. Was initially disappointed about the number of episodes but, if it had been longer, it would've suffered.
