Evening @bestforbritain.org think you should ring Iain Dale on LBC and point out his many, many factual errors about #Brexit

What a colossal fool @iaindale.bsky.social is @lbc.co.uk He takes no responsibility for the #Brexit disaster he championed. He denies reality. He denies facts and denies the evidence of what a failure his stupid act of self harm is causing every single day

Lewis Goodall pondering if the death penalty is sometimes justified was very depressing. It reminded me of a quote in Lord of the Rings, of all places Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement

Hi @mrjamesob.bsky.social Don't underestimate how Andy Burnham moved the dial this week. On #Brexit, pensions and voting reform. The public are, I think, far more realistic than media manipulators would wish. This is a time for courage. Farage is running away from his disaster. It's our ground now

Brexit revisited. New, unscheduled, post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog on why Burnham's conference speech was a significant development in the Brexit saga, the questions and concerns it raises, and why it might come to be seen as a historic moment: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/brex...

The Government is considering buying trains outright rather than leasing them, with Great British Railways assessing each option for value. Its new strategy aims to improve reliability, standardise fleets, support UK jobs and accelerate cleaner rail technology across the rail network. Read more ⤵️

You have got Andy Burnham's speech spot on @mrjamesob.bsky.social it was emotionally and politically acute. My dad also passed away in July aged 91. He had dementia but knew who I was. He didn't go to grammar school. He needed social care. He would have loved that speech and it left me in tears, too

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur” Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference. iandunt.substack.com/p/burnham-sp...
