Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 13/10/2026For it to be psychosis he would have to actually believe it. He doesn’t. He knows he’s lying. He’s a lying, narcissistic sociopath, clearly. But not actually mentally ill or psychotic. This is not an illness, it is who he is, and who he has always been. 000 0

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The American justice system is unbelievably cruel. Shackling and handcuffing Christa Pike to her hospital bed serves no purpose. She’s not a flight risk. I found out recently that prisoners are not allowed colour pictures. Who thinks up these cruel punishments? Psychos, the lot of them. 000 0

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A rapist. A pimp. A misogynist. That’s what I see. Bad people love their children, sure. They’re still bad people. 010 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And it turns out that I’ve met Peter! He wrote a musical with a friend of mine (called ‘Under The Mersey Moon’. I went to see it in Liverpool, it was great). 010 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Watch it soon - but keep a box of tissues handy. This final one is amazing. Reflective of the whole process in a way I don’t think they’ve done before. Very emotional too. They are all exactly the same age as my brother and I really feel like I grew up with them too. 221 2

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I am not so much reminded of the 1930s. It’s African dictators like Mugabe, Amin and Banda. Like them he has an army of zealots willing to murder in order to suppress dissent, embezzles money from the state for his personal enrichment and breaks the law with impunity. Oh America. Time to rise up. 000 0
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Just watched 70 Up. Oh my god, what a beautifully made, massively emotional finale to the 7 Up series. I’m a mess. 010 1

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Classic Piers Morgan bluster. Of course he knew all about what was going on at his paper. He’s an old school hack who’d stop at nothing to get a story. But he is also really good at getting people to reveal themselves in interviews. 010 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Piers Morgan is exceptionally good at allowing people to speak so that we can see who they really are. Yiannopolis told us loud and clear that he has no empathy, and Morgan allowed space so that we could hear it. 110 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I feel like journalists know exactly where Mitch McConnell is. The question is, why are they saying nothing? My spidey senses are tingling. Must be a super-injunction, surely? Do you have those in the US? 000 0
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Re prison overcrowding: Instead of releasing violent men early, how about we release enough women to clear out an entire prison, as most of them are unlikely to pose a physical threat to anyone. Then re-purpose the prison to accommodate all the violent males. 000 0

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 27/08/2026That’s what she said. However, the real reason was the financial incentive paid to content creators by the UAE to bring them to Dubai on ’golden visas’ and reward them for content promoting the country. Not paying tax must also be attractive to the likes of Oakeshott. Nasty selfish woman. 030 3
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There’s a rumour that Megan Markle is to make an acting comeback with a role in the UK, which would explain Harry and Meghan returning to live here. My theory: she’s going to star in The Devil Wears Prada, taking over from Vanessa Williams. You saw it here first. 😉 010 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Women are often demeaned by the use of the familiar, first name: Hillary, Kamala, Melania, Natalie. Men tend to be referred to more respectfully, by their surname: Obama, Trump, Bush, Kushner. It’s a sexist thing and the same whatever the politics. 3161 16

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Trump is clearly preparing the ground for a populist coup following his inevitable election defeat. This is actually dangerous and needs to be taken seriously. 020 2
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 02/08/2026They’re banging on about migrants in small boats again on the news. THE WORLD IS BURNING!! I really think people getting on boats to try to get to the UK is a side issue. Priorities, people! The weather is calm. Ideal for crossing the channel. Overall, migration is down. This is really not a story. 010 1

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I searched it out. The most boring, dry and loooong review I have ever had the misfortune to read. Was determined to read the whole thing, but honestly it was so academically over-written I couldn’t bear it. You’re absolutely correct about her central message - that’s academic writing for you! 110 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Quite. Hopefully he will let it all flow into the drain like the sewage out pipe it is. I was sad for Starmer that so many let it affect how they viewed him. He really should have had longer than 2 years to implement his vision. But there we are. 100 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Agree. I currently get just over 5 hrs of sleep a night (gah!) and am a dried out husk. Often fall asleep in the afternoon. I could no more run the country than fly in my sleep deprived state. 000 0
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Now that I can agree with. Can’t bear the sanctification of the Blessed Andy. I have no doubt that he’s a competent and principled politician, but no-one should be worshipped. Never fear, as soon as the (probably very short) honeymoon is over, the attack dogs of the press will be all over him. 100 1

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I just looked it up. Manchester has adopted Housing First in a pilot so I’m pretty sure Burnham is aware. Scotland did not invent it, the main champion is Finland and it has been adopted worldwide but the fact that it has been successful in Scotland will definitely be something Burnham know about. 100 1
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 21/07/2026It’s not that he can’t be bothered. He is actively avoiding bringing attention to the evidence of his failures. 011 1
