Good lord, how fucked are we on the left of politics if the most left wing party can't get behind removing the triple lock? Why are parties making this performative stance for voters who will not vote for them!

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

Absolutely bonkers good deal from The Exchange's parent company @millmedia.bsky.social — they're offering hundreds of free subscriptions to people aged between 16-25 across most of our titles (though, not The Exchange just yet).

Does sound like the Productive State framework really is running through the core of Burnham's speech here. Assume some stuff from Louise Haigh's renewal manifesto to but not as familiar with that.

Burnham: "This country isn't where any of us would like it to be." Yup. Far, far too close to France

In the slightly bizarre situation that one of our cars is a diesel and the other an electric. Since March have essentially reverted fully to just diving the electric car and so have only filled up the diesel car probably 3-4 times? Becoming an easy choice seeing diesel creeping up to 200p per litre

Going to Glasgow on Saturday to see the Barbie exhibition at Kelvingrove then to Tramway to see the U.K. AIDS quilt and ParaOrchestra. Recommendations for somewhere for a late lunch in central Glasgow?

Feel like I'm getting my first true bluesky experience here with people responding to this joke tweet with serious theories about what happened to John Fetterman

Patrick Reid @oldmandoc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Frankly when will the media do their jobs and start investigating how John Fetterman has clearly been replaced midterm by his alternate universe doppelganger a la Fringe

Between that and AB: "I think it's right to listen to what people say during the consultation and then decide on the right way forward." LK: "It sounds like you're not up for it." ... a decent boss would be telling Kuenssberg to start polishing her CV. Lucky for her she only has indecent bosses.

Exclusive: I asked Andy Burnham about the gangs of masked thugs marauding around parts of our country and asked if he and his government should be doing more to call out their actions He called them ‘poisonous’ amongst other strong words. His condemnation was unequivocal. Full story here 👇

Seen some division about the Game Changer finale but I really enjoyed it and seeing these comedians see what they can pull out of the bag. Really did not expect to have a Proustian moment triggered by Jacob Wysocki mimicking the sound effect of Anakin repeatedly trying to start his podracer

We should come down like a ton of bricks on those who are violent against women – whatever their background. Yet today, you only ever hear women's safety mentioned by right-wing politicians when they are discussing immigration. It's weaponisation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

3) biggest claps of the evening were for Ash Sakar and Josh Babarinde condemning the far right racism and attacks on the RNLI. Appreciate it was in Cambridge but very little vocal support for the anti immigration thugs. #bbcqt

Not a fan of the guy but fundamentally having more rightwing figures like Andrew Neil condemning the far right activity is a good thing as it's what we need for politics to enter a healthier place Clearly something has happened in the conservative media complex to trigger an actual immune response

4) first bbc question time in a while with no Reform person which honestly did raise the tone of the debate. Realize how grating they are with their constant victimhood 5) Andrew Neil was on and was actually fairly moderate? More centre right and also condemned mask wearing thugs.

Thoughts on watching BBC question time last night, which was for once a bit illuminating. 1) The Tories really don't recognize how much trust they've lost. Their MP was on selling the no alcohol or tobacco benefits thing and was reassuringly surprised by how little time the audience had for it.

Man its been awhile since I've experienced a piece of art that resonates with me on so many levels. From the art, to the writing to the emotion core of the story. @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social made a beautiful story filled hope and love but also sadness and despair.

Would agree with this. Which makes the omission of the Shield form this list criminal and to me would exclude Game of Thrones from it. Ending ruins the previous seasons.

Coming to this late but kills me that Jensen Huang could rock up at an emergency department not knowing his phone number or address and that would be no indication if he was more disorientated then usual.
