Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I wonder how Redwood feels about the less glorious parts of the British Empire? Locals killed or put into serfdom by the invaders; lands stolen. 020
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I’d say it’s pretty bad news for all of us, not just Farage. An overtly fascist party getting that level of support is depressing, even if it blunts Reform’s advance. 030
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 25/08/2026My grandmother - a very strait-laced Catholic - was a great fan of Westerns. She expressed a wish to see ‘Blazing Saddles’ based solely on its title. I dissuaded her! 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I’m shocked to the core that Zahawi might lie - sorry, mis-speak. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 17/08/2026And yet some of the turkeys will still vote for an early Christmas. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I don’t use buses, but I do fly. I think this is genuinely a great idea. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Well said. I thought we’d left that attitude behind when we migrated from X. 110
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 15/08/2026What happened to our great champion of free speech? Might he actually be a closet snowflake? 150
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Very fair comments - particularly as they’re directed at us Brits with our famous polyglot tendencies 😉. 010
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 09/08/2026That’s all very well, but instead of ‘hasn’t properly thought through the policy’ how about ‘the policy is insane racist bullshit’? 020
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Years ago I sat down with my then-teenage daughters for Top of the Pops 2, focused on 1977. I assured them they were in for a treat. Instead, it was an utter embarrassment - a few gems but loads of dire bilge. 010
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The Tories’ response is utterly infuriating! Unserious at best but more likely disingenuous. I know some of the commentariat increasingly extols Badenoch’s performance but she’s often irrational. 011
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 26/07/2026A rival podcaster was very sniffy about the bus fare capping, suggesting it was hardly a big deal. For many people it will be a *very* big deal despite what some well-paid journalists think! 010
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Doesn’t The Mail usually classify this sort of story as ‘the politics of envy’? 010
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 26/07/2026To be fair, the journalist’s view is much as you’ve stated. It’s the sub-editor who has ‘sexed’ it up with an OTT headline. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Just got round to listening to this. Great, as ever. Re: Alex’s comments on Labour’s failure to replicate the Tories’ 2010 refrain of ‘there’s no money left’. One thing that wasn’t mentioned was that Starmer and Reeves don’t have a compliant media to help reinforce their propaganda. 120
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Yep. Scary to think there’s someone even worse than Farage. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 29/06/2026You’re too modest! You’d have done Dame Penelope proud. 000

Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I think we all look forward to condemnation from Farage et al, and demonstrations against the attack from Rent-a-Mob. Perhaps the post was on X to attract their attention?! 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Thanks for doing the hard work for us. I’ll steer clear for now! 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I understand they’re trying to spin this as Reform supporters voting Labour to get rid of Starmer! Delusional idiots. 1120
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 18/06/2026That’s all very well, but we’ve had enough of experts! 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Great article - but your concluding lines are heartily depressing! 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Thanks - but depressing that you have to debunk this sort of misinformation. 020
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Thank you so much for this article. It’s provided much needed hope (while acknowledging the struggle needed to overcome the reactionary forces). 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 26/05/2026His comments are vile, but I think many people simply don’t care about this stuff (although they should). Trump’s “Grab them by the pussy” had no obvious impact on his ratings. The people who are offended by Kenyon’s remarks probably wouldn’t vote for him anyway. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Tragically, much of Reform’s base would agree with his toxic views. 000
Miles @milesmaxwell.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Exactly! Somebody should ask Burnham whether he wants Starmer’s support! 000
