I don't think calling the people who voted for the nice woman who thinks working hard should grant you a decent life unhinged extremists is going to work out brilliantly for Labour.
Reform UK councillors just approved West Northamptonshire 2025-26 budget😔

Between 30,000 and 32,000 people were affected by the theft of about £450 million from various pension funds. Don't try to sanitise Robert Maxwell @thespectator1828.bsky.social
Beautiful aurora last night on Maia’s aurora tour in Fairbanks, Alaska—the cloud forecast was 100% and for three guests, this was their last night here after three nights of snowstorm. This was a great first aurora for them and now they can go home successful!

People in Clacton are calling Nigel Farage:
Nigel Mirage.
1. If the objective is to rebuild support for closer ties with Europe, lecturing people about how wrong they were in 2016 is counterproductive. People don’t shift position when they feel attacked. They shift when they feel respected.
In the 2021 census 0.3% of the population of England and Wales do not speak English at all (link below). I cannot find a figure for Scotland, so where is Farage getting his figures from or is he just making them up?

The Norwegian government has decided to set up independent commission to investigate the Epstein revelations.
Perhaps our government should follow suit and link with them?
✨ We’re almost ready to open our sold-out run of Our Town at Theatr Clwyd. We are so excited to be sharing this incredible story in this very special building. Let’s go!
“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”
Works for me.
It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious
One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

Govt officials need to get off their backsides and create a simple mechanism to remove people from the Lords instead of prevaricating. Or better still - abolish the Lords
BBC: “Removing Mandelson's title using legislation would be complicated and lengthy, officials say”
The Our Town reviews are coming in ✨

Such a great interview which added new dimensions to what I’d seen in the play. Very grateful you’ve been created @welshnationaltheatre - precious to see dimensions of our lives alongside the world’s best in the provinces too. Thanks to all who’ve put cash & courage in. Swansea loved Our Town!
The best way to Take on Reform and Farage is for the other parties to talk about Brexit. Lay the disaster at Farage’s feet for everyone to see.
The problem with this idea is that the other parties are all too scared to mention Brexit.
NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.
He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

🚨BREAKING: Parliament will debate the petition Calling for a FULL public inquiry into a Russian influence.
🇬🇧 Unlike other parties who were infiltrated or hid. We campaigned for 5 years on this and it’s clear to us Russia interfered in the Brexit campaign. Do you agree?
Time to Exit Brexit.
Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota
- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!
The American people want the Epstein Files, not Greenland.

Bore da! It's sunny Friday 😎
Have a good day. ☕️
This was Rhossili beach a year ago today 💙
What’s going on with the Epstein files?
