Number one on Labours next manifesto should be rejoining the EU. And spend time now spelling out how we've suffered and how we would benefit. Make it clear the GE is the referendum. If you want in you vote Labour ✊

I had to bite my tongue once. I was on a train and three late teenage boys were discussing the latest porn they'd been watching. And it really wasn't pleasant stuff at all. I'm not prude but there's a time and a place and a public train is either especially with women and children in the carriage.

You're probably right. In fact it's probably too late. But we can't just turn off fossil fuels overnight. Not without drastically altering our way of life. There are easy wins like banning aviation, electric cars etc. The tax raised by pumping our own oil and gas can help finance the transition.

Jay @paddlepower.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Do you accept this country needs oil and gas for several decades to come? If so why are you happy to buy from other countries, when we could raise money selling our own. We could then invest that money in renewables.

I'm very much an environmentalist and a realistic one. I'd put my carbon footprint against the vast majority of British citizens. How is it environmentally friendly to import gas and oil when we have it on our doorstep? Removing fossil fuels from our economy will take decades. Don't be a fossil fool

We will still be burning oil and gas for decades. How does it make sense not to extract our own and earn tax revenue from it? I know it won't make our bills cheaper. But the government will earn from it. People will be employed and if the shit does hit the fan we can block exports and keep it

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

The RNLI are national heroes: the pride of Britain. Fuck any wheezingly impotent Nazi scumbag who says differently. The Masked Micrococks haven’t even got the nerve to show their faces in a gaggle of no-custody divorcee cockrings, let alone do something remotely courageous for the country.
RNLI Statement:

The RNLI is a charity that exists to save lives at sea.
But recent events have generated deliberate misinformation and a misunderstanding about our purpose and our Lifesaving work in the Channel.
As a result, some of our volunteers and staff have been the subject of online and, in some cases, physical abuse.
This is unacceptable.
The RNLI's people represent the very best of society. For over two hundred years they have dedicated themselves to rescuing people they've never met before, without judgment, fear or favour.
We are tasked by HM Coastguard to help those in distress, and we'll do so whenever, wherever and whoever they are.
We launched 9,058 times in 2025.
Only 109 of those launches were to those in distress in the Channel
- 1.2% of our total rescue work. Anyone rescued from a small boat by the RNLI is then taken into the care of the relevant UK authorities.
To those who stand with the RNLI, thank you. For more than two hundred years, we've saved lives at sea around the UK and Ireland, and that commitment remains unchanged.

This footage will excite the right and enrage the left. But remember it's action like this that loses the floating voter. We don't defeat reform by persuading their base. They are lost votes. But action like this and Farage taking £5m, Reform taking dodgy overseas funding, that's what loses votes.
