I guess that's cleared that up then. We best all just move on.

I agree. We should always demand better. And my union is demanding better right at Labour Party conference on Monday

I'm old enough to remember Reform saying the foreign donations sting was a "hoax" but now they are saying they will cooperate with the police enquiry. Looks they've finally had some legal advice

At this rate in 6 months time the BBC will be asking "is it wrong to be racist", and "is it always wrong for a man to punch his partner". And of course we will have government ministers still talking about "legitimate concerns".

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Govt minister felt compelled to shoe horn in "legitimate concerns" when talking about balaclava wearing thugs in all black paramilitary style clothes intimidating people. The words "legitimate concerns" should not be in any statement about literal Blackshirts on the streets intimidating people

When masked men all dressed in black intimidate people in Dover and block national infrastructure, Nigel Farage of all people has a stronger line than the government

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
True but compare and contrast what Farage said and the spineless govt response that couldn't bring itself to mention masked "protestors".

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
This is wild. Both screenshots from the BBC website. Nigel Farage condemns masked Dover protesters, but the official govt statement doesn't. Yes, yes, I know Farage created the toxic narrative but it's wild that he's prepared to condemn masking up but the govt is silent.

Dear Kent Police, It is not "spontaneous" if hundreds of masked men dressed in black turned up to the same place. That is very much organised.

I can accept he and the speech writers didn't realise the similarities in the phrasing. But the worst bits were actually in Starmer's foreword to the Immigration white paper. The "open borders" and "incalculable damage" comments *were* a dogwhistle

Many years ago I tried reading some modern philosophy. Couldn't get to grips with most of it (I'm more of a maths/physics nerd). But I did like Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle. These two images came up on my Bluesky feed today and I was reminded of that book.

Net migration is set to fall to zero soon. But immigration will still come up on the doorstep. Until people's lives improve they will blame immigration because it has become the default reason, regardless of the facts. If Lab keep repeating Reform talking points, this isn't a surprise.

I suspect people support the proposals in the abstract but when they realise it affects someone they know, they oppose them. Lots of people have friends, family and colleagues who are affected by ILR.

Morgan McSweeney: "We should pursue Reform-lite policies. Progressive voters will stick with us as they've got nowhere else to go" Progressive voters: "see below"

I actually think this might have been a real article

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
Brilliantly written article that, in the first 7-8 paragraphs makes the case against Starmer with brutal simplicity. This was particularly brutal and on the nose.

What do the Jeffrey Epstein files reveal about Peter Mandelson’s finances? This FT article is revealing in so many ways. If you ever proof of his greed it comes in one email when Mandelson says, "I do not want to live by salary alone" giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

And he's given poor old Andy Burnham the kiss of death by saying he has "potential" 4/n

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
Now he's "amazed" about the advice he was seeking from a very wealthy man. He's going to be even more "amazed" about the sensitive info he leaked to Epstein 3/n

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
Here he bemoans that if it wasn't for those pesky emails (ie the evidence of his relationship with the most notorious paedophile on the planet) he'd still be Ambassador 2/n

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
This time he's resigned to investigate *himself* - so kind of him to spare the authorities that work.

The advisor in No10 who pushed for Mandelson to be US Ambassador should hang their head in shame. But they are still around laughingly telling the Cabinet they "needed to gain back voters’ trust with three Es, emotion, empathy and evidence"

It's a Merry Christmas for the big business fat cats as the govt shut down a public tracker meant to curb abuses and excess in the boardroom. It's going to be much harder to find out about the pay of top bosses. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We had this obvious targeting of Muslims last week from a govt minister. But no comments about the institutional child abuse in the Catholic Church and Church of England that was overwhelming carried out by white clerics. 5/n

Is Labour's strategy of leaning into Reform working? This poll of polls suggests not Reform fall in the last month is mirrored by similar Tory rise Labour fall from mid Sept is mirrored by similar Green rise Labour losing votes to their left, & gaining none from their right
020
Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Will this include the systematic cover ups of child abuse by white clerics in the Catholic Church and in the Church of England? Will their "ethnicity, religion and culture" come under scrutiny?

For the full picture here is the energy use and energy costs for the same day for the whole house (not just the heat pump) And that is the full geek journey.

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 13/11/2025
Ok if you want to go on a geek journey you're gonna get data & a graph Look at red circled bit at top. Shows COP, energy used & heat out Graph shows half hourly elec use of heat pump & heat out. Now no use between 1600-1900. Peak at end is hot water being heated at cheap rate Is that geek enough?

Ravi S @ravisubbie.bsky.social · 13/11/2025
Before we had the heat pump ours was single rate too, at a similar price. After the heat pump we switched to the Octopus Cosy tariff (designed for heat pumps)
