The more I see the transformation of Generic, from mild mannered Tory minister for immigration who demanded a childs mural painted over, to ReformUK neothug, the more I can’t help but be reminded of Pink in The Wall #wato

Graph in the Guardian shows Palestinian home demolitions is nothing new & while they’ve increased since 23, are not a ‘justifiable reaction’ by Israelis to the October 7 attacks #BBCpm #Newsnight

AfD: Work with us or we turn our back on democracy What does a political movement turning its back on democracy look like #R4Today ? Ah, never mind …

Have been wondering what manner of uniform ReformUK would choose for its British ICE-style immigration roundup force Needs something … a nice beret perhaps? #R4today

… Captain Yusuf on #R4today now to protect the home front with more rounding up of foreign agents &, of course, leaving the ECHR (because Brexit didn’t solve anything it turns out) “Stupid boy” #R4today

… No coincidence that the 2 most successful PMs by any measure, Thatcher & Blair both had Pit Bulls for Press Officers Not everyone’s cup of tea, but Campbell & Ingham both put the fear of god into Newspaper editors & news producers & just wouldn’t even try to pull this sort of crap … #R4today

I don’t really know. He was rescued as a Jack Russel but he’s clearly not: He’s got the coat & herding instinct & of a border collie but he’s too small. His jaw has a bit of staffie, & the brain of a puppy He loves to chase squirrels, horses & puncture inflatables:

Sounds like Badenoch’s back on #R4today for her regular spa-treatment. This time to talk without interruption from pesky journalists on the latest hopeful vote-winning slogan ‘Common-Sense’ If ReformUK can win so many votes fighting the culture war with contrived outrage, why can’t the Tories?

Starmer is not the man for the job: he apparently said “UK would not rejoin the EU, the single market or customs union in his lifetime”. & even the EEA means also accepting free movement. Labour has made too many commitments to Brexit to U-Turn on it, now right? … RIGHT? #R4today

Might be uncommon in humans #R4Today but frequent enough with other primates Marmosets intentionally mate with two potential male fathers: it’s a great way to guarantee the males help raise the kids

Can’t wait for all that extra North Sea oil to tip the price of diesel back down to £2 a litre …. It WILL keep diesel BELOW £2 a litre? …. #wato

Paul Murphy @paulmurphy.bsky.social · 02/04/2026
Yes, if your N.Sea oil fields are running dry & so refining less oil, you produce less petrochemicals The Tory ‘plan’ seems to be to reverse the decline that once again happened on their watch Makes a nice change #r4today

I Hear culture warrior Mel Stride back on the BBC #R4today shouting about UK’s ‘NetZero madness’ at leaving all that precious North Sea gas in the ground & buying it from Norway This from UK gov’s own figures 2014-24 shows reserves AND production both in decline:

It’s illegal to cycle on the pavement But you’re allowed to ride on shared access pavements, which are often only occasionally signposted Can be quite hard to navigate this second rate infrastructure without breaking the law Pedestrians & cyclists deserve segregation #wato
