Johnimator @johnimator.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yes, there's not enough jeopardy, not enough of a compulsion to take their job actually representing constituents & turning-up in the Commons seriously enough, allowing them to preen & prance in front of a wider constituency on telly or radio, thus making them seem more popular. 000

Reposted by JohnimatorSarah Murphy @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Harborne calls his latest bung to Farage a “philanthropic gift to the country”. Philanthropy isn’t funding racists and climate deniers. Or funnelling cash into deregulation and removal of our rights so tax-avoiding billionaires can profiteer from the chaos.
