You really shouldn’t. Take your justifications, arguments, defensiveness and explanations to someone who’s dumb enough to fall for them.

I didn’t see the socialists or the greens complaining when the focus was on a guy who had just won a landslide, indeed they were more than happy to ride along with the Telegraph and Reform. Ironic to see them clutching their pearls now the focus is on Polanski.

Not crying foul, just facts based on evidence. Try it sometime.

Poor Lynne doesn’t understand the meaning of democracy. Out of 230,000 paid-up party members less than 3,000 attended conference. Fewer than half of delegates actually voted, 1022 votes in favour, 813 votes against.

You certainly have no interest in democracy.

The democracy that’s spoken by those wealthy and privileged enough to vote at conference.

So long as you like to think it’s earnest, it must be so. Indeed you’ve clicked and clicked away in earnest on that flip-phone for old people. Earnest, human to human, punching up, full of class, free of obligation. Such a privilege it’s been.

Watching the Greens burning down their tiny house and everything around it today. Nothing in politics has been as satisfying since the night Portillo lost his seat.

Yes it an absolute scandal that Chris Mason forced him to fill out and sign those candidacy papers.

Not increased enough to win the vote and nowhere near as high as you want to pretend, but you crack open the champagne, it’s Friday after-all. When you wake up in the morning the fact will remain, all Zack did was take the Feinstein vote. No other party wanted it & Labour didn’t need it.

“Don’t know” is by far the most popular response. YouGov don’t mention that.

I don’t need an easy win or a gotcha, I just don’t want to see groundless rage on my feed. He’s in the news because he deserves to be. It’s really that simple.

Just for the record, I dont think Zack Polanski should resign for coming second in a constituency election, but he should resign for absenting himself from a vote that split his party down the middle.

Hmm, punching down, not classy… whatever babe, you seem hypersensitive

There’s absolutely no double standard. Labour have spent the last 12 months in the spotlight, it’s happening to Reform, the despite the establishment bias the Tories, and are still seen by some parts of media to be a joke. Are you sure you’re not the one applying the double standard?
000
Robster Thermidor @robsterthermidor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Thats because it’s embarrassingly bad for Polanski, I recognise you like him and probably cant see it, but it doesn’t alter the reality.

Robster Thermidor @robsterthermidor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
That’s just false.

Robster Thermidor @robsterthermidor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
The Tories are deluded, haven’t shown an ounce of acceptance for their failures. Won’t move forward unless they do, and it may be too late. Perhaps best not to fall into that same trap.

Stating facts is not punching down. Of course you’re annoyed and angry but it doesn’t mean you’re being victimised

Thats the nature of news making in the digital age. Its not different its the norm

They report on the bad days of the left. The greens themselves have taken advantage of every opportunity to malign other parties on the left. Remember Keith?

Its not a vacuum, its an embarrassing defeat for the seat of the former PM. It raises legitimate questions about his decision and his decision making.

Silly indeed, but actually its much worse. He’s cast them into disunity.

Both of these questions are currently legitimate. If you can’t stand the heat you’re welcome to pursue another interest.

Absolutely right. It also reveals that even in one of the most progressive of seats, voters have seen through the hollow rhetoric of progressive populism.

When I was younger I had an office with a window opposite this building. The net was new, social media was in its infancy and AI didn’t exist. I used to sit in the window, read text books, gaze on the gleaming Chrysler and put my thoughts on paper. How lucky I was. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Didn’t take long for Tom Watson to reveal his scumbag credentials. HIs absence from the Lords also means that he wont have to declare his #Palantir earnings, of course he doesn’t mention that in his “I want to be clear” line www.thenerve.news/p/clive-lewi...

They have the best rain in NYC. I recall walking home from my office in my 30’s as it hammered, soaking my business suit. I just wanted to take all my clothes off and dance in the deluge. Of course I didn’t, observed the law so as not frighten the decent folk around me with my prime awesomeness.

I can’t begin to imagine their hurt, or thier feelings of being let down by a government that claims to be the best in the world. The UK is far from perfect but we’re blessed by a health system that puts need before money

We’re so privileged to have the NHS. I look to other countries, who have no such emblems of advanced civilisation. How their citizens deal with the truly mortal moments that we have had to face this last year is beyond my reckoning.
