Thank the Lord Starmer's 'GB Energy' is here to take control of our energy security and protect us from global price hikes.
Erm...

Tories hired marketing firm to hide the truth about their new student loan plans in talks to school pupils bit.ly/4l7NH2H one graduate who took the fee to make the presentations says he ‘had sold my soul to the devil’.
Some calm, in a world gone mad.

I would vote for Plaid, but they have done absolutely nothing locally here. They do little more than pass on emails to council officers, not getting involved further. Saturation campaigning is all very well, but they need to be in the community, visible and doing stuff.
How utterly predictable. 🤪
No need to listen carefully to Reform and the BBC today to hear what they're saying after losing in Gorton and Denton: we do not tolerate minorities in the UK. We hate and are fearful of their languages and culture. We feed the criminally stupid racists and flag shaggers.

My son's finishing his training as a pharmacist; it's a mandatory 4-year Master's degree. Debt? Maybe £60,000. Prospects? Private community pharmacy collapsing from lack of funding. NHS is poor pay, poor conditions. He got zero help to train for a job the country needs. He will leave. He has to.
The council recognises the situation for what it is: a battle between the terminally thick and those who aren't.
Starmer's latest pre-Senedd electioneering promised - at an unspecified time - new railway investment in south Wales. His minions found a small station somewhere near the northern border to mention, too.
This morning, the train from Liverpool to Bangor won't get here.

Carmakers to win reprieve in £11bn UK motor finance redress scheme.
Millions of drivers will miss out compensation for the car loan scandal.
Regulators side with corporations, they are required to promote growth of the sector.
Who protects people?

They are pathetic. I'm glad to say the only place we saw any flags around my area of Wales was...where all the English white incomers live in what is essentially a colony. Welsh people have no truck with this racist crap.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social REFORM WATCH! Now it's Full Trump:

Says the party that wants to destroy the UK and all it stands for...
Indeed. It is the battle for our time: the cilivised against the uncivilised. Yes, if you don't observe the law, 'uncivilised' is an entirely appropriate label to apply.
Yet, Holyhead (Anglesey) voted for Reform at twice the rate of Plaid Cymru. Dumb people don't take any notice of 'woke' law citations. It's a reality we need to wake up to. Witness what a non-observer of law in the White House looks like.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social For reference, though it's Reform's own FB page (but the result is correct).

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Breaking: Reform win Holyhead by twice the votes of Plaid Cymru. Low turnout. It hasn't reached any news outlets yet.

Oh! democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
@mrjamesob.bsky.social So the answer to 'what was different last year' is: we didn't care about sex crimes and the appointment of Mandelson was fine. Then we realised he had disclosed government information to Epstein, and that was something we take seriously.
Shell plans up to £4.6mn pay rise for chief executive.
Most people will not earn that in a lifetime.
Real wage cuts for workers but no curbs on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, profiteering.
No workplace democracy: Workers have no say in how wealth is shared.

Gammon-bait.
Tsch! The elite still think their lies will keep on hoodwinking us.
They're dead, Daily Mail. The people who gave you what you wanted are dead.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social The thing is (1) 'the countryside' is a place where people live. It isn't a giant Centerparks and (2) it is extremely over-run, notably after covid and is no longer a calm, peaceful place.
Hahahahaha!
Big bang outside. We have a problem...

Getting Mrs. Motobeic to work today was an eye-opener. Practically everybody driving at July distances from the car in front, utterly oblivious to the fact that they wouldn't be able to bring their car to a stop, let alone a controlled stop, in the snow and ice.

Easy to buy, not so easy to sell.
I can't manage a minute of that God-awful programme!
Up early today. Stars bright above, faint light of dawn, a stiff easterly breeze over Eryri.
With an antenna put up yesterday, I connected up for the Xmas Eve transmission from the 101 yr-old VLF transmitter, 'SAQ' in Sweden. It's the last remaining transmitter of its kind.

Great to see loads of Santa riders out yesterday, despite pretty chilly conditions in North Wales. Quite a few pillion elves, too!
