Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

A rigorous analysis well researched and observed. Might also tempt film fans to revisit some of Almodovar’s earlier offerings.

The two Zubaran paintings of Francis of Assisi at the National Gallery are fantastic but the light is so warped the only way you can see them properly is from an angle.

Humphrys was one of the worst offenders when it came to both siding an argument in the name of BBC impartiality. Whether Brexit or Climate Change he allowed lies to prosper.

Kinda crazy that Republicans were prepared to accept Trump’s corruption as a price worth paying for being able to ram through their policies. But that’s where we’re at. The US is now a kleptocracy and its people powerless to stop it.

If nothing else Trump’s profiteering shines a light on the corruption at the heart of crypto. Governments and financial regulators take note.

Minimal coverage of this in the UK Media. Not that they should have given oxygen to the batshit speakers, but the financial backers and UK politicians in attendance should be noted. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2026/06/18…

Hell, if the Royals don’t want to live in Buckingham Palace let’s turn it into a permanent museum/gallery of British Royal History. It would make an absolute fortune from tourists and all the money could go towards paying us back the cash we give them.

We need to park our relationship with America until this Trump administration is done. Do as little as we can with them. Tricky but the smart thing to do at this point.

If England make the Final, and of course it’s a big if, every major FA football ground in the country should show the game on huge screens and let everyone watch for free.

When Trump got in a second time, the rest of the world scratched its head and wondered how the hell it could happen. I imagine they’re doing much the same regarding Starmer. But it’s the same reason. Incredibly wealthy people with vested interests.

Simon Fellowes @simonfspeak.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Starmer brought down by a mixture of the Far Left Magic Grandpa Corbynites of his party, the Right Wing Media, and the fear/rise of Reform. Burnham with his further left of centre position will get battered by the Establishment. Ugly times ahead.

Simon Fellowes @simonfspeak.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
The juvenile frisson that comes with a change of leader could well be diminished if Starmer does insist on an orderly handover waiting until September. Three months of the Right Wing Media bashing Burnham could result in a very different mood and landscape.

Starmer clearly playing for time. If Farage does step down then the threat of Reform is gone. The Tories are a non event, and the Green/Lib Dem coalition eminently handleable.
