@mrjohncrace.bsky.social enjoying tonight. Can we hear your observations on Reform? They seem to embody the sort of incompetence you relish!

History lesson. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is
finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will
remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!

Watching the Hebridean Baker in Scandinavia on Alba, and puzzled about language. He appears able to converse with locals in Gaelic. Are Scandinavian languages so closely related to Gaelic?

Marx's prediction that wages would eventually gravitate towards subsistence levels used to be wildly mocked. But millions of British workers would be starving without food banks and in-work benefits.

I was suspicious when Labour made zero mention of lifelong learning in their manifesto. It has now been confirmed that they don't care. In a changing world there is increasing need to upskill and reskill in the workplace, which is now a lot harder thanks to Labour.

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people. Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society. This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.

Hard to describe the level of disappointment with Labour. Not just pursuing a strategy that will boost Reform. But being utterly incompetent at the same time.
