'Hegseth to 'replace up to 20% of generals & admirals.' I think the word lacking here is purge.

'The British right like to talk about taking back control...NEVER let them forget it was them who gave it away.' Andy Burnham PM. 💯well said. Brexit gave away so much, to Trump, to Putin and to chance.

All for electoral reform but not pure PR because the result is often too fragmented and breaks the link between MP and constituent. Favour first and second preference voting: 1. It locks extremists out. 2. It keeps the link between MP & voter. 3. It produces the most consent to be governed.

We will find out in good time. Let the Police do their work and accept that the ministers responsible will tell us about it when appropriate. The process of the law must not be manipulated by the right in the UK or the US.

Well, as much as I detest the Irainian regime, he does have a point. America's super capitalim has produced rapid growth and immense wealth but also delivered the world's worst vsalue for money healthcare, a massive prison population and tent cities.

The Russians are getting nervous. Things are not going well at the front and Ukrainian drones are hitting home. They see the RN in France and the AfD in Germany as their route to victory.

I wonder if this picture was the inspiration for this scene in the move A Bridge Too Far.

Never interrupt your rivals, in this case the Conservatives & RefUK, when they are making mistakes (& being investigated by the Pollice & MI5)... The Press can be really silly sometimes.

Also, notice how the Tories don't recognise gambling as a vice and extend this policy to betting shops. Now why is that I wonder?

Netanyahu has done more damage to Israel than any of it's enemies. Simply put, the world has had enough.

I wondering where the NCI will start: TwitX, Tik Tok, the Daily Mail, The Telegraph, GBeebies or the BBC. Serious point. The need for this agency admits that the Department of Culture, Media & Sport (Lisa Nandy) & Ofcom have completely failed the nation.

One of the mysteries of Market Garden is the lack of Allied Tac Air. Once the Arnhem bridge was in German hands the Typhoons should have come in and shot up anything moving south towards Elst. It's an open raised highway ideal for air interdiction.

It's blaringly obvious. Joining some kind of Commonwealth adjunct to the EU is actually a far better outcome than we could possibly have expected. The UK, Canada, Australia & NZ would be a very powerful block representing some 140 million people. We must not miss the bus.

Sounds a lot like Denmark has agreed to US basing in return for US recognition of Danish sovereignty - which is precisely where we were before all this started. It's another Trump fantasy victory.

You don't hit AEW aircraft on a runway without someone providing real time satellite imagery and that someone is the Russians. Trump knows this but does nothing because he's a Russian asset. There is a word for that.

The point being that Canada has managed in just a few months to negotiate 'associate membership' while the UK is still faffing around with minute incremental changes to the disastrous Johnson Brexit deal.

Obvious that these people are engaged in an attempt to buy our democracy to end all oversight of capatalism. The Gov is behaving like a rabbit in the headlights with it's totally insufficient Representation of the People Act 2026. We should be banning crypto and impossing donation limits (say £100K)

The BBC are running very strange headlines as regards Ukraine. The other day they ran a headline about Ukraine evacuating the fortress belt cities without mentioning the dramatic success of the Lyman counter-offensive. Definite Reform types in the editor's office.

You can't fire missiles at a fleet unless someone with with an advanced satellite surveillance system tells you where the fleet is. That someone is Russia and yet Trump is still best friends with Putin despite them just trying to sink 5000 US sailors.

Almost all US rail freight depends on diesel. Therefore almost everything will go up in price not just diesel. You have got to get some grown ups to end this war.

By closing the Bab el Mandeb Strait the Houthis have closed the Suez Canal. Now the Suez Canal leads to Europe not America. This is going to become our problem, possibly military problem, very, very quickly.

As the 21st Century unfurls one thing is becoming increasingly clear; oligarchical fascism and the fossil fuel industry are joined at the hip. This petrol-fascism is the thread that links 9/11, Saddam, the Ayatollahs, Bush, Trump & Putin. I don't think we can defeat one without the other.

Rob Jacobs @robjake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

He's right. Some History, bear with me. In the early years of WW2 Britain suffered defeat after defeat. Churchill was concerned that our soldiers would not fight. It took the Beveridge Report, and the promise of something better to give the troops something worth fighting for.

If criticism of the Israeli Gov is wrong because they are Jewish then, ergo, the Israeli Gov can do whatever they want because they are Jewish. This is an insane position to take.

Montgomerie has supported Johnson, Truss & Farage. Anyone might think he's a bad judge of character.

The UK should have negotiated a joint position with our close friends in Canada and then approached the EU alongside Canada. Opportunity missed.

The government should be running daily TV and social media adds on the decline in numbers and the real conditions refugees face in the UK. At the moment they have completely lost the narrative.

Afd, National Rally, Maga, Reform - they are all fronts, supported from Russia, for international fascism. We are in the fight of our lives.

Every time Witkoff and Kushner go to Moscow they get schooled, dominated and instructed...and yet they keep repeating the humiliation. Insane.

Some people are saying Burnham should seize the opportunity and call an election. I disagree. There are several investigations ongoing and they need resolution. We still don't know where all this money sloshing around originates from. My money is on Russia.

So why was he late? 1. Liquid lunch. 2. Crisis management. 3. Busy doing dodgey deals. 4. Fantasy terrorists PR stunt. 5. Last minute check for Led By Donkeys flags. You choose.
