Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 28/11/2025I watched the final episode of David Olusoga’s Empire series last night. They’ve all been very good, humane and empathetic, but this episode was truly exceptional. 130
Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Enjoyed a wander around the Scottish National Galleries, mostly because I know diddly squat about Scottish art. You’ll be pleased to know that it doesn’t all look like this. 1140

Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 29/10/2025That’s interesting, Labour reported membership has dropped 49000 since I predicted the Greens would overtake them before the end of the year (at the current growth rates at the time). Greens now at 150000 incidentally. 110
Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 29/10/2025These two media organisations are all too keen to emphasise when a crime has been committed by an asylum seeker or refugee etc. Meanwhile they’re also underplaying the dangers of crime by white men - to a quite extraordinary degree as outlined in this thread. Draw your own conclusions. 030

I feel as if I’ve been riding on other people’s pain over the last 60 years, and their pain hasn’t helped prevent this kind of tragedy.

Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 28/10/2025All eyes on Jamaica folks. It’s about to be battered by the worst hurricane in recorded history. Reject the current political/ media discourse minimising climate change and normalising racism by helping in any way you can, even if that’s just an expression of solidarity and compassion. 051

Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Excellent analysis from Will here. Key takeaway for me is the cratering of the Labour vote may mean it’s difficult for Plaid to find enough partners for a coalition government. It’s PR, so it’ll definitely be a coalition. 000
Rob Hudson @robhudson.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Good take. The question for Plaid is were people voting FOR them or AGAINST the far right? Either way, an emphatic win against the peddlers of hate and division. 040
