Isn’t it about time we recognised that left and right in politics have both failed? We need a new agenda.

Rise of the far left. Rise of the far right. Billionaires killing themselves that they’ve had it off with all our cash.

Don’t sit on the fence. How do you really feel about him?! 🤣🤣

My abiding memory of Jeffrey Archer. Him as auctioneer: “Sold! To the lady in the green dress over there.” Me, turning around: Oh ****! He means my wife…

Good old #PoliticsLive. Not a single expert to explain that the Chinese are NOT buying luxury UK cars. They’re developing their own…

Always good to meet a fellow traveller…

Oh no. All the Bond movies are back on Prime and my wife’s gone to the Village Hall committee meeting… 10 points for the movie.

He lives just up the road from me. Often walk past the house with the dog. Desperate to get him to record a message on my phone for a colleague who idolises him. Just want him to say, ‘Wayne you lazy bastad’ which would be funny and also very true…

Dutch MEP Reinier van Lanschot called on Europe to stop buying Russian gas, transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine and establish a no-fly zone over western Ukraine. “Ukraine is helping us, but we don’t say thank you enough,” he said. #Ukraine

I thought this morning was the best evidence yet for going back to V10s with a manual box, three pedals and a steering wheel. No electronics. No aids other than, say, safety, eg. ABS. Run the cars on synthetic fuel with zero emissions from tailpipe to manufacture. Bet the drivers would love it.

I always wanted to be a Gregorian monk but I just never got the chants.

We have used extra energy to record a whole bunch of things over which we have ZERO INFLUENCE. We’ve used loads of AI to do it. Utter madness. But that’s what happens when Whitehall mandarins cook up solutions. They design bureaucracy. Box ticking. Not dial moving.

Because we would be doing those things that genuinely move the dial: Investing in renewables Bringing down train fares Electrifying every train line Making every new home net zero Electrifying industry Renewing our infrastructure with new materials and power sources… Instead…

Spent most of today reviewing the businesses co2 emissions. And our approach to achieving net zero in the UK sums up all we are good at in 2026. Bureaucracy. If we were serious about net zero (reader we are not), companies would not need to record all this data. 🧵

I thought the point of an appeal was to present ‘new’ evidence? If Man City have the evidence they claim, why didn’t they submit it before? A panel reviewed the evidence and reached a decision. Game over.

If only we had a communist government!

Iran was involved in the Fairford incident? Only if they were briefed by Omid Djalili. Absolute jokers.

60% of the public say Brexit has caused more harm than good. 40% of people must therefore struggle to tie their shoelaces in the morning… Seriously, can anyone name a single upside? Anyone?

Can #SaintsFC sue Man City for beating us in the cup semi final last year?

‘For views on Andy Burnham’s speech we’ve come to a food bank in Hull.’ And there ladies and gents is Britain in a nutshell. Food banks. In the supposed fifth richest country on earth. Make it make sense.

Well if I may be so bold, you wrote Smiley with aplomb. Very nearly as good as that other fella used to write him… :)

Were you not a script consultant?!

Would you not agree that’s it’s hard for a business like mine which will pay more corporation tax than many multinationals to be asked to pay more when we see so much aggressively avoided? If we don’t address the tax system, ensure fairness, then people will not support squeezing the same orange.

Wealth does not evaporate. Countries are massively indebted because a very few people are hoarding vast sums of wealth. Built on unfair wages, disruption without regulation and complex debt structures which avoid taxation. If we do not address this, all else is commentary.

Rather than doing away with any triple lock we should have one for: All government benefits. All salaries. It’s the only way to ensure that our standard of living always keeps pace with inflation.

So after being released on bail we can assume that these were five pissed up morons on a stag do who thought it would be funny to stage a mock attack on an air base right?

Let’s not ignore that the vast bulk of the cost of fuel in the UK is tax. And not only that, it’s tax on tax. VAT is charged on the whole cost of fuel in the UK, including VAT on the duty. Bring it down now to boost business. No one will drive more. We’ll simply be able to afford driving.

Steve Prior @steveprior.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I wish politicians the world over would shut up about ‘working families.’ You need to deliver for everyone. Single people. Retired people. Children. The chronically unwell. Businesses. Workers. And families.

We didn’t let Ben Johnson keep the 100m and just put an asterisk next to his name.

So judges, what was it about cockney hard man Ray Winstone’s daughter that encouraged you to give her leniently high scores… #StrictlyComeDancing

Just heard the sad news that John Lowe died. John was one of my late father-in-law’s clients and was an incredible judge of a horse. He tipped us Love Divine to win the Oaks before she’d set foot on a racecourse. Along with many others.

I’ve been watching TV for 50 years. And in that time with no word of a lie I can’t think of anything that’s made me laugh and cry as much as Ted Lasso. We’re in a Golden Age of television. Streaming has delivered better budgets which begets better talent and better writers. That’s just a fact.

Following #SouthamptonFC’s treatment, appropriate sanctions for #MCFC are: 1. Removal from the record books of all competition wins during the period in question. 2. Exclusion from all major competitions for a minimum period of five years. 3. On return, relegation to League Two. I’m serious.

Why the fuck have we now started making real photography look like AI?

Been saying this for years. Elected by random selection like jury service and then have to live on minimum wage. And see how quickly our economy changes.

Fair enough. BBC just said the same. I wonder if the Gruaniad are a little more sensitive to law suits being a charity - effectively.

In fairness I presume this is legal. They can’t say he slashed it. And to say ‘after footage shows he allegedly slashed it’ in a headline doesn’t work.

Reform MP is concerned about clamping down on Russian propaganda… lol.

I wonder what could possibly have precipitated this small boat crisis. And I wonder why nobody holds Farage and Brexit to account because of it? They are literally the reason it happened.

I respect the argument that fossil fuels are killing us but… Don’t you love #politicslive

I bumped into her in Harrods one Sunday morning. And she was nowhere near as sensual shopping for a refrigerator.

Just got into #Mobland. Love it. Although how an Irishman has the worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard, I’ll never know.
