@poddenhampodspur.bsky.social fair enough, you don’t need to tar your bargepole or sully your reputation with spurious accusations, but I will make my own one-off podcast about this topic. I’ll keep you posted about the research 😉

@poddenhampodspur.bsky.social another good pod today. A suggestion for another episode, although maybe very difficult to do, would be an analysis of spurs pods based on political spectrum. Some pods wear their political colours more obviously than others, but I think it would be a fascinating ep!

My issue is that the media are not necessarily being manipulated, as that implies they’re passive actors being taken advantage of, whereas IMO they are complicit and actively trying to manipulate sentiment

People always talk about the distorted Skull at the bottom of "Ambassadors" by Holbein, but never ask how Chas and Dave posed for a portrait painted in 1533.

Let’s face it, Burnham is at best a pretty bland, unexciting, conventional politician, who is benefitting hugely from his absence from Parliament, & it speaks volumes about our politics that our chances of fending off fascism are deemed to hinge on him winning a by-election, and then, y’know, stuff

Labour have a massive majority in Parliament yet it's down to the Greens to stand down in a by-election to put country before party? Can people actually see how fucking cracked this all is?

Surely the Greens profit more from the continued implosion of Labour and them bleeding members and voters to the Greens, than the hypothetical promise of PR

Some incredibly gullible people in this thread. Desperate to convince themselves that the only person to stop the rot is Burnham

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

On what basis should the Greens stand aside?? The thing that will beat Reform are better living standards and jobs, which can be brought about via better economic & social policies. with the huge majority, the Labour Party could pass these, they don’t need Burnham to do this.

I’m genuinely not interested in reading knowing pieces and explainers on the difficulty of getting sprouts of hope to break through the soil of British politics from people who spent the better part of a decade thoroughly salting the earth while insisting there can be no other way.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

“The bourgeoisie of the imperialist ‘Great’ Powers bribe their workers with crumbs from the superprofits they obtain from the colonies.” - Lenin Such a good quote because it shows how easy it is for liberals to accept the atrocities of their empire as good or necessary, because they get treats

@aoc.bsky.social really is outstanding in her role as a US liberal. Performative liberalism masquerading as leftism or socialism, voting present on giving a settler colonial genocidal terror state more money and crying crocodile tears as if you're the victim. That must have taken so much courage.

That makes 629 seats total by my count. Theres 21 missing seat

@iibu1.bsky.social what other seats do you have for the other parties, SNP, Tory, Lab and independents?

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

lol v true regarding Clegg, always thought he was a charlatan. Regarding coalition formations I think there are too many unknowns. Personally I can’t see Davey joining w/ Farage, irrespective of their capitalist policies. I want to see the hypothetical seat projections for the other parties too!

110

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

You have to think what is in the short, medium & long term interests. Politicians mostly think in short term interests and crave the power and prestige. Would going into coalition last, would it replicate the annihilation Lib Dem’s faced in 2015.Brexit Farage and Rejoin Davey.. not sure how it works

110

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

I think there is the distinct possibility of letting Reform try rule as a minority government, watch as they can’t get any legislation through, chaos ensues and then another election is called six months down the line. Bond markets may freak out too, like they did with Truss

110

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

I think this is too reductive imo. Clegg and Cameron were cut from similar cloth. 2010 rose garden politics and 2026 post-Brexit Britain are v different. Reform and Lib Dem’s may both be on the right, but this doesn’t automatically make them compatible in Westminster coalition. Watch this space

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Interesting read. 1) “Methodologically, the assessment combines structured judgement… and comparative scenario weighting.” What are the comparative scenarios being used in this assessment? 2) using Polymarket as a way of assessing is grim but curious. A new indicator for decision making.

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Also incredibly funny that in this scenario Ed Davey has only been able to win 1 more seat from the last GE

010

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Need to see what the other parties would get in this scenario ie SNP and Labour. Would be very curious to see whether Ed Davey learnt anything from Clegg & Co. Can’t see them joining a coalition with Farage and Reform personally.

I came to the Netherlands in 2018 to study but during Covid & Brexit I moved here permanently. I went back to the UK in Autumn of 2019 to campaign for Corbyn’s Labour Party but left again summer 2020. It was so bleak during that time I had to get out at the first opportunity.
