Am not shocked at the latest exposure of the entrenched racism of Reform & it’s councillors but it is a very depressing start to the day to see these undercover reports confirming what we all know. Suella’s recent self flagellation at the alter of English white purity has not had the desired effect

Am blown away by the superlative acting again in this third outing for the prison drama #TimeBBC Another timely indictment on our prison service & man’s inhumanity to man. A hard but necessary watch

I didn’t think that the US debate on execution by lethal injection could get anymore stomach churning this week. Woke up to the news today that a military firing squad execution is going to be live-streamed for the nation’s delectation this year. Absolutely shameful. I don’t recognise US anymore

In terms of her dance ability Jaimie Winstone did not deserve to be in the dance off tonight but the clothes shopping VT of her & Carlos last night did her no favours with regard to her general likeability. She comes across as a bit entitled #strictly

A still bitter Darren Jones on #BBCLauraK talking about the PM & govt as if he’s not part of of the Labour movement anymore. Seems like a shortsighted strategy as the make up of cabinets do change for many reasons

Catching up with new #GBBO today. Loving the addition of Nigella, she really is an amazing cake shoveler isn’t she? Her critique’s are so encouraging. But the spin off show is just wrong without Jo Brand & Tom Allen. Why the wholesale change?

Woke up to the news that Trump has banned 3 media outlets he hates CNN, MSN & Politico from the White House because of their ‘lies’ (with no evidence. What will it take for the WHOLE press pack to walk out in support of fellow journalists, reporting the truth and democracy?

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Feeling very let down by Labour this week. Today’s 2 outrageously mega crypto donations to those crooks in Reform should not have happened. Why didn’t they act? Our democracy is in danger and Labour has nothing to say this week Shameful

Disappointing to see that the Beeb are scheduling #Newsnight at 7.00 on Fridays up against the far superior #Channel4News. Hope people will stick with Channel 4 as Newsnight is really just a very light chatty podcast these days

I am quite taken with the #ladyinblue 4th plinth installation at Trafalgar Square. The usual haters of absolutely everything are doing what they do best, hating for hate’s sake but she looks beautiful & inspiring in my view

The blatant racism from Zia Useless is vile & I am getting heartily sick of all of the puffed up brown members of Reform UK being so up for doing this. They are so desperate for acceptance & so deluded to think they ever will be. Aiding & abetting dog whistle politics is absolutely shameful

pugliaprincess.bsky.social @pugliaprincess.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Lamentable performance by 30p Lee on the news circuit this morning. Apparently Zia Useless pulled out. They really are just a bunch of brazen law breakers

Farage & Reform UK showing their real appreciation to the people of Clacton by announcing major cuts to PIP & disability payments IF they are elected to govt. Clacton has the highest level of claimants in Essex. So many of you were actual turkeys voting for Christmas. They despise you. Wake up

Jason Arday’s death is an absolute stain on this country. I feel devastated for him, his family and for people of colour in this country. There’s too much to say about it but there are human consequences to the culture war. When a person becomes the culture war. He was failed.

Cambridge University had a duty of care to Jason Arday as his employer & they absolutely failed him. He was put in an impossibly public & stressful situation. He then resigned. The media then demonically & in a racially charged way hounded him to his death. I hope his family sues their arses off

An off the chart level of lying from Farage/Reform tonight. He cannot attend the vote count & results due to a ‘credible threat’ to his safety? Essex Police say there was no reason for ANY of the candidates not to attend. Now avoiding the press

I cannot engage with the Ed Balls & George Osborne podcast but have just seen that Yvette Cooper is a guest this week & she says she has not forgiven Osborne for cutting Sure Start. But she was happy to attend his wedding & Balls is happy to be a business partner on this podcast. Very disappointing

I am finding it absolutely heartbreaking to read & listen to the experiences of non-white NHS staff of direct racism & hatred from patients. In the current UK climate it is clear that this disgusting behaviour is now just accepted by society. The racist genie is out of the bottle. Shocking
