What on earth is wrong with so many people in this country? "Prince Harry booed" Oh yeah, they accept everything the scummy dregs of the media tell them, plus many are racist and cannot accept that a white man could marry someone who is not white. www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has died, aged 90. Here she is in Lego form, recreating the icon picture of her stood next to the print out of the computer code she produced that controller the Apollo 11 moon landing systems. It sits just above my desk! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Congratulation to Sagal Abdi-Wali on her by-election win last night. A great, local, Labour candidate and UK success story now heading to Parliament! Polanski? What a loser! Lol! And Reform? Couldn't even beat the Tories!

Very shocked to see this! Not been on here or there all day and I open Threads to loads of posts from people saying you've been banned! Hope things are put right soon!

The wrongs of the current Israeli leadership, which won't be around forever, do not in any case excuse actions promoting the opposite destruction. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I didn't know he'd gone to the Greens, but not surprised and even less surprised he supports this.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I also see that Greg Hadfield was a supporter of this. He is one of only two people I regret ever having had cross paths with. Former Daily Mail journalist, Rabid Corbynite. Suspended by Labour at least twice. Leading voice in Brighton and Hove Labour during the Corbyn years who made things hell.

No doubt plenty of people will come in with 'but this..., but that...' - but what? Racism is sometimes OK? Is that what you're saying? It's OK to overlook racisms because of some other bad thing? No. Nope. Never. Always call out racism. End of story.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

If you still support that party, then you are support racism, making racism acceptable - one of the oldest form of racism at that - one that we ought to have learnt to avoid from history to avoid many times over. 2/3

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This by Suzanne Moore is worth a read. The Green Party, in adopting the motion that includes calls for a single state solution (effectively the destruction of the state of Israel), has made itself a racist party with racist policies. 1/3 suzannemoore.substack.com/p/the-greens...

suzannemoore.substack.com

The Greens have shown us who they really are...

In September 2019, I literally ran away from the kind of people who have just voted to make their party the most racist party in our country.

(Correction, the consultation didn't itself set 6 points, just what points ought to be given, but 6 is a wider suggestion by some MPs on how many points it should be set at - same as no insurance.)

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That closed in May. A couple of months to analyse the results - and the PM changed. Then summer. Now we're approaching October - well over due a response from the Burnham government. Will they act or delay things? 3/3

0141

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

But it's now easier. And Keir Starmer's Labour government set off a consultation on making the penality for using them the same as having no insurance - 6 points and the option to confiscate the vehicle. 2/3

So, illegal ghost plates on cars are a major problem. Well, since it's historically been hard to detect and the consequence is a £100 fine it's no wonder! 1/3 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

...to explore exactly how to do this among other social care reforms. It's due to report back within months. Yet rather than acknowledge that, here he is taking all the credit for a ready made plan handed to him. 2/2

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Oh no, Burnham does NOT propose this. All he does is promise to continue the plans underway for a long time under Starmer. Starmer included the promise in the 2024 manifesto. In January 2025, he set up the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey... 1/2

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

No. I didn't for Corbyn and won't for Burnham. We need honest leaders with integrity. Too many people fall over far too easily and accept shit.

121

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Or someone else. But I won't rubber stamp Burnham and just lie down and accept him. Want my support back? Then Labour must ditch Burnham and co. It's that simple.

100

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

What I find most disappointing is that so many on the left who I thought were sensible will just accept a fool to lead them because they have a red rosette. But I won't. A leader has to earn respect and to date there shit nothing at all to say Burnahm deserves any at all.

110

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Burnham is a deciful liar who is way out of his depth and cannot be trusted. I do not and never will support him and want him gone as soon as possible. Until then, I won't get behind the Labour leadership. Actions have consequences.

310

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

No way is that a joke. That decitful liar has no place being Labour leader nor PM. He needs to be gone asap.

100

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

But if you support that lying decitful scroat, then you are not better than Reform voter in my eyes, because you will get behind someone who has no morals and lies their way to the top. Shame on fucking you.

211

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I want Burnham gone well before the next general election. So if you just want to make up shit and put false words in my mouth, just fuck right off.

111

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

We want Burnham to fail. He's not worthy of any support. Get rid of him and all will be good again.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Don't know if your idea is the solution...but at least you have an idea to impove engagement, unlike the Nandy and Burnham, who want to shut it down entirely. Shame on them.

141

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

OK - so data shows only 25% of young people know about it and some schools currently feel excluded. But that should be a decision to invest more, grow it and raise awareness. Not go the other way and pull funding! Madness! 2/2

2295

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Scrapping the UK Youth Parliament would be an absurd decision. But the Department for Culture, Media and Sport - under Lisa Nandy's leadership and PM Burnham - is not committing to supplying funding for it any more. That amounts to just £453,000 in the last year. 1/2

Some say scrapping the parliament for 11 to 18-year-olds would be a blow for democracy, while others say it is overdue.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Yeah, think those are highly unlikely. But given the state the US is in, should not be. In fact in a sensible world, the Republicans would be about to be wiped out...which won't happen because millions of Americans are not sensible.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Because my higher count would already include Ohio, Michigan, Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, Georgia, North Carolina and even Texas and Iowa.

121

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Wouldn't that require places like Florida, South Carolina and Kansas? I can see why some might think they are in play, but each is very, very unlikely. Not sure what the other 3 would be though? Arkansas? Alabama? Montana?

121

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Seems to be little being said about that now, from what I'm following. I think Trump just lost his Supreme Court case on trying to stop mail in ballots too. But on the other hand, until after the election has happened, votes counted and people take office, nothing can be taken for granted.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

And it wouldn't be impossible to see a 54-45 result with one truly independent elected too. 2/2

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The polls in the US for this November's elections are getting very interesting. A year ago, the Republics were looking likely to hold on to Senate control. Now a 52-48 with the Democrats taking control is looking to be a more likely outcome. 1/2

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

So very sad to hear this news. I was hoping for a positive outcome, but when I saw on a map there was a large pond in the direction he had gone, I was prepared for this outcome. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One question I do have... ...does this include the full 10.1kWh I have generated at home today? Or just the 0.2kWh I have exported back into the grid? If just the latter, then there is likely a huge chunk of solar missing!

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

...but then have an individual member limit for membership organisations like unions so each member can donate a (small) amount through the political funds, but which can sum up to millions - so long as it's well accounted for. 2/2

2201

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The TUC should have come out stronger and demanded a cap on political donations. It could easily have done so while protecting trade union political donations too - by having a limit for an individuals or organisations in general... 1/2

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Weak. He knows he is making the wrong decision for the country and the planet, but still wants to go down that route for whatever vested interests control him. So he delays the 'unpopular' decision until after an event so it will cause him less damage. Just do the right think in the first place!

Too late....it is already an obsession! And I'm already wondering on a second battery, haha!

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

They have been constantly surprised for months and months. It's as if they assume bad shit was going to happen and had no faith in Starmer and Reeves to be doing the right thing. But month after month Starmer and Reeves proved the so called 'experts' wrong with 'better than expected' results.
