The Cummings control room has been haunting my dreams..was it ever built? Wasn't there going to be a big media centre to go with it? What did that have in it, other than dozens of Union Flags?

According to the Treason Act of 1351, treason is plotting the death of the monarch, levying war against the sovereign, and adhering to the King's enemies. Oddly, there's nothing about being kind to strangers being treasonous. It's that simple.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago (the 60s i think), the Chancellor took advice from the " gnomes of Zurich". Plus ca change...

How would you annihilate a country? There's only one way - and it involves H-bombs. That's the big decision he is facing.

It's almost as if there is a massive, hugely financed and well connected lobbying operation that can shape the news agenda and public policy in major countries and international organisations, and have the most powerful people in the world as their spokesmen Could that really be true? Surely not..

We used to have a Home Office that was serious about law and order. Now we have a bunch of snivelling bureaucrats who obstruct ordinary citizens and blindly follow the Daily Mail.

Nothing to see here. Farage was present, he knows more about electoral law than anyone else on the planet, he heard what was said. But he wasn't listening. So thats all right then.

How exactly is this better than climbing a gantry on the m25, or holding up a placard reminding jurors of their rights? Clearly, by Labour standards, these people in Dover are terrorists and should be volubly condemned as such.

AI slop, obviously - but is this something he posted himself (could easily have done), or a parody? You never know these days...

Someone should have warned Starmer about that.

The Times was once the most reliable, serious paper in the entire world. In my lifetime.

Despite everything, he was still an upgrade on his predecessors and did more good than his three predecessors combined.

We hold the USA responsible for the fact that it is not properly maintaining its social media channels which are polluting Britain with lies, racism and obscenities. And we demand 100billion dollars compensation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Andy Burnham.

Support the nicest, most human team. So far, Norway and Capo Verde are biggest winners of World Cup, both with millions of new fans worldwide. England, on the other hand, has won not a single new follower. Like Argentina.

The world has changed dramatically in the last 10 years, and sensibly the EU has changed in response. UK, though, has utterly failed to change: hence the mess we are in. We need to be in the EU now more than we ever did in the 2000s and 2010s.

If you have literally owned a political party since 2019, and appear almost weekly on BBCQT, how can you claim you're "not in politics" in 2024 just because you're not an MP yet?

I can think of a reason, and it relates to a popular but disgraceful Sunday night musical show on the BBC at the time...

And the solitary bowler of his day categorised in Playfair Cricket Annual as RF (right arm fast). Unlike Snow and Willis who were RFM (right arm fast medium). It was before accurate speed guns, obvs.

He was a racist bully when he was at school. And he's a racist bully today. Who's surprised about anything he says or does?

Isn't the whole point of the sword in the stone that, if you have to try to pull it out then you're not the right person?

#Farage is in many ways a creation of the BBC and especially #BBCQT which has relentlessly and unnecessarily promoted him.

Peter Furtado @pedropetrushka.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

2009 (just 17 years ago), NF leader Nick Griffin was on Question Time. It was a shocking scandal to have an avowed racist on TV, and everyone lined up to denounce him. It also opened the floodgates. #BBCQT has a lot to answer for.

Why do not journalists EVER ask Trump what the definition of treason is?

Peter Furtado @pedropetrushka.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

This will be a simple referendum with the question 'Burnham for PM? Yes/ No". Every vote will be a tactical one. There's no chance he will win, surely?

Why did the BBC report it at all? They ignore most marches 10 times the size.

Definition of a Labour MP: someone worried about job security in the medium term - like most of us - who thinks that gives them the right to sack the CEO and choose one of themselves to replace him (unlike the rest of us, for some strange reason).

Peter Furtado @pedropetrushka.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

A few hundred MPs, worried about job security in three-years time, think they should be allowed to force a change of boss. The Tories thought the same. So why dont they legislate to give us all the same rights they have?

Streeting is a low-rent David Cameron. The obvious solution to our nation's problems.

Which presumably is why they outsource their attempts at it to folk like McSweeny?

Obviously mimicking the horrendous Project 2025 BUT - the real question is, why does noone on the left try to construct an equivalent agenda and then ruthlessly implement it?

#Farage is terrified of winning the election and dredging up every vote-losing policy he can think of. He'll be banning motherhood and apple-pie next.
