“The moral degradation wrought by Trump and his gang will not be undone at the flick of an electoral switch.” Quite.

‘Dad, is it true that 4,000 people have died of the plague in Russia?’ Somewhat surprised to be asked this by my daughter at bedtime yesterday… and saddened…

" The headline on Juliet Samuel’s comment piece ('Kemi Badenoch invites excellence back to the party') must surely lead to Excellence demanding a right to reply for being so thoroughly slandered: 'I’ve never met the woman and certainly never partied with her.' " - @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social 😆

Clearly the chaps at @thetimes.com don't like the 'upstarts' at @bylinetimes.bsky.social - so you must be doing something right

Keep political activism out of classrooms. Oh goody, that old chestnut - bashing irresponsible lefty teachers. I am surprised the hall was largely empty though, Tory delegates usually love that stuff www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

What a load of absolute toss just spouted by #IDS re how wonderful #Badenoch is on #5live just now. He really isn’t fooling anyone

I was never a particular fan of either Nick Robinson or Andrew Marr but they are absolute titans of political analysis compared to the drivel produced by Kuenssberg and Mason.

great zoom call this evening. person A and person B couldn't hear person C (me). person A could, however, hear person B, but B couldn't hear A. Person C couldn't hear A or B. so that was all good.

It's never been more obvious that he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. I hope his acolytes notice, but I don't expect them to

'The big takeaway was thus,' says the Times review of the War Game. 'In case of Russian aggression, without the Yanks coming to our aid, the people of these noble isles have about two weeks until we’re all eating bortsch [sic].' So we'd all be a lot healthier then?

I remember gleeful chants from City fans about Arsenal being their 'feeder club'. It was very irritating at the time. Even more so now.

His career in public life should never have started. The fact that he has had one reflects very, very badly on the UK

The @privateeyenews.bsky.social review of ‘Hyperpolitics’ has a great opening line: ‘This is a wonderful book to take to the beach, if what you’re intending to do at the beach is drown yourself.’

'The author offers an affecting meditation on art, mental fragility and faith.' I'll give it a miss, thanks - I'm highly suspicious of anything that reviewers describe as a 'meditation'. It's usually code for 'tediously self-indulgent'

Ahh. Isn’t it nice that Zuck* and the Winklevi are on the same team now. So glad they were able to set aside their differences for the greater good 🙄 * yes I know he’s not on this list but I think we know where he stands in relation to the OPOS

What are the odds on Reform denouncing the Met as woke? Pretty short, I should think. Shouldn't have to long to wait now...

jrwatson @jrwatson.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Good to see the Met has stopped wasting time being woke and is focusing on catching criminals. I assume #Farage will be pleased

He really is utterly pathetic. If only more people realised.

Yes, I did. I saw quite a few calls that I disagreed with, like in any game. However, I didn't see any obvious howlers given against us. Hence my comment.

He had a column on the front page the day after Thatcher died. Surprise surprise, he had fuck all to say about her. They published it anyway. And he guest edited the New Statesman! Aaargh!

He got 347 votes! That’s a lot of idiots.

Of course #Farage didn’t go to the count. Like all self-styled ‘men of the people’ he simply cannot abide plebs. Unless they worship him, of course.

Good grief, #Anderson is such a moron. Sunak has a lot to answer for, making him deputy chair of the Tories, thereby gifting him a national platform to spout rubbish

The 'Fridamania' stuff incldued in that @tate.bsky.social #fridakahlo exhibition may have some value but I couldn't help feeling a lot of it was little more than fan fiction

"We expect to have movements in the next few weeks, obviously," said #Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. A bit too much information there, Mikel. He went on to say "we won't sit still," which isn't ideal when you're having movements 😬

Wait… Kuenssberg isn’t on?? Dammit, I was really looking forward to that, said no one ever
