Morning all.

Good to see Matt Goodwin has made some solid, logical arguments in his latest, racist screed

First lol of the day was Trumpy and his (temporary) Little Friend --



The second is --

It's Thursday and as Mr Humphries used to say 'I'm free', so...

Much fun was had in applying ' Goodwin categories' to people like Phil the Greek and the rest of the Royal family !

My Ma belonged to the 1946 HMS Victorious generation, several hundred 'Australian' ** war brides crammed into the aircraft hangars to arrive to rationing and a very cold England .

So according to Goodwin I'm a second-generation immigrant and my grandchildren are er what ?




** She was a Kiwi, had won a music scholarship to London which was transferred to the Sydney Conservatoire, then the fleet came in ...

Can you see her?

Very smart work there Sky !

Unfortunately I couldn't see her, but passing to my sister

" The Passengers The youngest war bride on Victorious was just 15 years old, whilst about a third of the women were teenagers. The two oldest were 41. "

She was just under 19, her birthday was later in August .

I remember her saying some of the older women were pretty hard cases ...

Is Alex going to call the cops, if the audience disagree with her?

Good afternoon. It's been a while I know...been a bit busy.

Well anyway...firstly Reform's chairman has a pop at one of the MPs for asking the PM to do something that isn't even one of their own policies and now...man overboard!

Oops!

Let them fight!

Meanwhile, this is the wannabee Musk fella in the cap who was their DOGE's tech bro...their 'team' lasted all of 3 days.

More attention-grabbing Reform News --

Merz schools Trump, who looks really stoopid --

I mean, d'uh. There are many, many photos of Trump & Epstein hanging around with each other. Gonna be fun, this.

You could almost see the scales lifting from the eyes...

" And now we go to Berlin to hear the Reich spokesman declare that there is definitely no genocide of the Jewish people "

No... Please... Stop

This could get to be the funniest thing ever - Musk's immigration status being reviewed.

Hahahaha

Business as usual --

Question Time came tonight from Llandudno where I got pooed on by a seagull last year.

For Labour we had Alex Davies-Jones. The first question was about Labour's current colossal slump in the polls in Wales, now third behind Plaid and Reform. Labour voting audience members one after another lined up to air their grievances and explain why they regretted their vote and wouldn't be repeating the mistake in the future. How did Alex respond? Did she offer any conciliatory words or offer any sympathetic understanding? She did not. Instead she vomited a load of pre-prepared gibberish then sat looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp while her government was torn to shreds by the audience and panel. She didn't even try to argue, she just sat there looking stupid. In a Labour country, in a Labour town, with a majority Labour audience nobody came to her rescue. In the entire hour nobody had a positive thing to say about her party and she was met with steely silence throughout. Becoming a bit of a thing isn't it?

For Plaid Cymru we had Llinos Medi. What a wonderful contrast to the garbage above. Llinos was all heart on the sleeve emotion, whether you agree with her or not it's undeniable that she's genuine in her opinions and she cares. Whether it be disability benefits, refugees, even the 20 mph speed limit Llinos gives a shit. She was an absolute breath of fresh air. I'd vote for her.

For the trade union Left we had Mark Serwotka. In the past I've found Mark to be overly aggressive and argumentative when he's been on the panel rubbing people up the wrong way but not tonight, retirement obviously agrees with him and he was far more chilled making his utter evisceration of Labour devastatingly effective. He probably got the loudest applause of the night when he said he wouldn't vote for this current Labour party and the applause continued as he listed the reasons why, which were all examples of screwing the poorest and most vulnerable while taking next to nothing from the rich.

For the Tories we had Darren Millar. Darren got laughed at for still trying to claim the Rwanda scheme was a brilliant idea. That was about the sum total of what I can recall of his contribution to the debate.

For the Telegraph and IEA we had Annabel Denham. Annabel weirdly looks like she's about to cry at any given moment which elicits an instinctive sympathy (at least in myself)...and then she opens her mouth and it immediately evaporates. Everything she says excruciatingly predictable (you could swap her for any of the other weird Telegraph/IEA clones and hear exactly the same things) so I fast forwarded through most of her nonsense because I'd been watching the brilliant Spain v France game and wanted to get this finished before midnight.
