steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 43mWhy is Jenrick judging what is & isn’t culturally British or English based on benchmarks of 50 & 100 years ago? What else would he like to see from 1926 or 1976? Cars? Telecommunications? Healthcare? Pharmaceuticals? Air transport? Police methods? 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 3hOh look I agree Pau is much the better player but I’ve seen him bullied by bigger CFs All opinions I guess 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 5hPresumably they’re not interested in protecting “our women & girls” from cancer 100
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 5hWhite immigrants are different. Didn’t anyone mention that? 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 5hHow does Mick feel when “they” are Reform leads on home affairs & on education? 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 5hYeah Matt it is trivial & is also in line with anti-counterfeit measures while representative of English wildlife 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 5hMings day was done a couple of seasons ago. Tbf Pau isn’t great against an old fashioned centre forward but there aren’t many of those these days THB not in squad today. Injured? 100
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 7hBeen 2 or 3 misses. Hope we don’t regret them. Buendia, Jackson & STM Brentford could have had another too 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 13hDo we imagine that a 3-days’ working week will see income increase or be sufficient for a family? Of course not. They will automate, lay us off (provide “free time”) and pay the absolute minimum they can get away with. It’ll make them richer & the rest of us poorer - as ever! 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Those things don’t come cheap. Surprised he can afford it, what with all the debt and that 020
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They threw their best punch & it didn’t even land 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026“All” of the United Kingdom will presumably exclude anyone who arrived here as a migrant, anyone with settled status, anyone who has disabilities or anyone who doesn’t have a job Maybe also anyone who is of colour, who is gay, speaks a foreign language on public transport or isn’t rich 050
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If Oblique Seville wins his next race that could be bad news as it means he has run faster than anyone else in the race He must be doing something wrong 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There’s so much wrong within her remit & yet Nandy seems unmoved 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Nice to see the US penal code advancing to the same level as Taliban Afghanistan & Iran 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It’ll be like Brexit. They’ll believe the lies, then when it becomes the disaster that it inevitably will be, they’ll pretend either that it’s not a disaster it’s fine actually, or blame the Press or the “Establishment” or anything really apart from admit they were wrong or believed obvious lies 020
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Counter intuitive for MAGA to drive electric 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 08/10/2026She doesn’t need to. That organisation has already chosen sides 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sad to say the first thing that came to my mind was “those” tyres 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The Irish patriots & English patriots have always got along famously. Certainly ever since the 17th Century 030
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Not sure it’s for a Reform internal investigation to determine whether any laws have been broken 220
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Burnham talked in historical terms not as his own lived history Nothing wrong with referring to WWII, Henry V or 1066 but not if you make it about what you remember of that time & that’s what Burghart & Badenoch were doing 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Rich parents need help with childcare costs & in order to pay for it, we’ll reduce benefits available to the poorest & most vulnerable 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s important because they’re reinventing history as if they witnessed it when they clearly did not. That’s disinformation 120
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also Kemi apparently remembering Ian Wright & John Barnes playing for England They both won caps after Kemi moved to England in mid-90s but not many - and that’s being generous that she paid any attention to football as a child. 100
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Burghart reminiscing about how “broken” the UK was in the 70s. He was born in 1977 Now Kemi Badenoch lecturing about how poor nationalised industries were pre-privatisation & how Govt interference made it worse Privatisations happened in the 80s while she was less than 10 years old living in Lagos 210
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s like he’s deliberately playing the villain! Tony Blair joins David Ellison’s Skydance as advisor to the Board 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think we all know the answer to this question don’t we? 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Conservatives want to take money from the poor vulnerable people in society to give tax breaks to the Rich & subsidies for the childcare of the rich. Seems legit 032
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Interesting he said it in Birmingham which itself has wrongly been alleged to have “no-go” zones 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Badenoch’s so short of talent she has to pick a recently first-time elected prat as shadow minister Who apparently aligns with Tommy Robinson but is ok working for a black woman who is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants Go on Blake, be specific - tell us which areas of Luton are “no-go” zones 020
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I wish a reporter would ask him what the Navy would be ordered to do if “no boat shall pass” Either enter French waters and land on French soil without permission Or Sink the boat Just ask him & make him answer. 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Typically we wait for laws to be enacted before we implement them. Agree, when it is enacted it will - as it stands - be applied on a backdated basis to March. Believe RPA has not yet run its course through Parliament I don’t mind being corrected but if you’re going to correct someone, be correct 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This allegedly Thatcherite Conservative Party misunderstands a key aspect of Thatcherism 010
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just two months to “Winterval! They want to ban Christmas now!” season 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 05/10/2026She must know, but clearly doesn’t care, just how totally impossible it would be to “secretly” land airplanes at Manchester Airport It would take wilful blindness by members of the public & an unimaginable conspiracy by aviation sector workers, security, police, ground transport & council workers 020
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 04/10/2026More @news.sky.com Was that a Reform campaign advertorial today where otherwise Reform would it have made the bulletin? 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 04/10/2026@helenlewis.bsky.social on @news.sky.com this morning. Iraqi-born & raised immigrant Nadhim Zahawi allowed to criticise immigration without anyone pointing out his nonsense 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s almost worth waiting for it to happen to see her reaction but way too many innocents would be hurt & unlike them, I’m not that vile 000
steve-n.bsky.social @steve-n.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They pull up the ladder that they were happy was there for them to use. Suella may think if she out-rights the right there’s money to be made & she’d be right She may also think the hard right will accept her & treat her well when their time comes And she’d be very very wrong 110
