Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

WM is going to be a very dangerous place under Farage. He will just be Trumps monkey .
As one poster recently put it, the Scottish General Election is now a clear battle between the SNP and the BBC.
Top of the Pops (6th June 1974). Sparks open the show with This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us.
<sigh> Iβm seriously taking about making this my pinned post.
Brilliant choice ππ
βUp On The Catwalkβ featured as one of James Dean Bradfieldβs Golden Year picks on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social.
Why are Mick Lynch, Jeremy Corbyn, the SNP and the Green's never on TV?
But Nigel Farage is plastered to it.
Because they are against the establishment, and he is the establishment.
See, the thing is, Zelensky refused to tug his forelock to Trump. Or to grovel.
I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.
Cheers π
Another Banksy style classic.

England wants us so weak that we can no longer rise up #ScottishIndependence
Donold just signed an Executive Order making it illegal to intentionally misspell his name.
Germany protesting
Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.
Remembering Dean Parrish on his birthday. Here he is performing his Northern Soul anthem "I'm On My Way" in Berlin in 2020 - still sounding great at 77

Remembering Michael Nesmith and Davy Jones, born on this day in 1942 and 1945 respectively. Here they are with Micky Dolenz performing Nine Times Blue on the Johnny Cash Show in 1969. It was the last time The Monkees appeared on TV (until their 80s reunion)

The BiS poll shows that faced with a choice between a socially just independent Scottish republic or a UK which protects inherited wealth & privilege while public services crumble & Farage is waiting in the wings, Scots overwhelmingly opt for indy.

π¬πͺTbilisi. Tenth day of the battle for the European future.
The SNP sent a message to Keir Starmer yesterday. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12... The SNPβs Scottish budget, delivered yesterday, was big on one issue. That was, it cared about people in need. Starmer has no story. His message is the opposite of the SNPβs. He does not care.
This is our newest arrival. I found him on the streets absolutely broken yesterday. He had given up.
Iβm very hopeful we can help him recover and give him hope again.
I called him Pedro. His life is already improving (1/5) π§΅
After discussing Rock On by David Essex extensively over breakfast the other day, I just listened to it for the first time in I'm guessing over 30 years. Whoa. I mean I dug it as a kid but it's actually amazing! youtu.be/1jQmok3BcHs?...
Loved this as a teenager
in the 70βs , still sounds fresh today, Lamplight is also fantastic π₯°
