Reposted by @lisanumbers.bsky.socialOtto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes. 1692540748

Reposted by @lisanumbers.bsky.socialAdrian Monck @amonck.bsky.social · 05/12/20251/ James Meek has a brilliant long piece in the LRB about Blyth – ex-mining town in Northumberland, turned Reform stronghold. The puzzle? Blyth’s economy increasingly depends on green energy investment (offshore wind, cable factories, renewables R&D), yet it’s voting for an anti-net-zero party. 1011538
Reposted by @lisanumbers.bsky.socialAlex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I feel compelled to write a review thread 🧵 for The Liz Truss Show because in the madness of the content, other aspects - vital aspects - are being missed. 1. The Aesthetics Unless they were aiming for "Harley Street urologist waiting room circa 1992" this interview area is just unacceptable. 1/ 95919218
Reposted by @lisanumbers.bsky.socialAlex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · 07/12/20254. The Psychology I admit that I find one aspect of Truss fascinating. Does she see what everyone else sees? At times I am convinced that she is genuinely oblivious to her own absurdity. Other times, I think I see, through a vulnerable chink, the pain of someone trapped in their own grift. 10/ 1429514
