Retired but still lively! Living in Portugal. No time for Brexiteers or right wing demagogues. Stoke City through and through.

Tories in Stoke-on-Trent lose two more councillors to Reform UK. What's wrong with these people? They can now see how Reform has made a mess of the councils they took on last year and failed to find the savings they promised.

Fundamentally disagree, Ros. Each to their own.

Pulp at Glastonbury yesterday? 30 years on and still terrific. β€˜Common People’ with the Red Arrows fly past was worth the whole weekend!

Trump is the only living entity that can ramble on for 2 hours about unrelated and useless shit. Earlier he was ranting about Biden till Carney told him to STFU and sit down.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their election victory.

The bond between Europe and Canada is strong β€” and growing stronger.

That’s a bit glib. It may be hard hitting but I feel ten times more comfortable and confident that they will get it right compared to the Tories we kicked out after all their corruption and self serving measures. Give it more time.

So, after Nick Timothy on "How to win an election" and David Frost on "How to do a great trade deal", the Telegraph adds another to its list of star columnists...

Thx for succinct summary. Just pathetic and dispiriting. Try to enjoy your time in UK. Will you be at Oxford match?

Starmer and Labour are the best hope for the future. Without them, we probably really don't have much of one.

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires.

He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

Elon Musk is roundly disliked by most Brits Almost four times as many Britons have a negative view of Musk (64 per cent) as a positive one (17 per cent).

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Elon Musk is roundly disliked by most Brits

Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party Billionaire Trump adviser said his β€˜significant investments’ in the country justified his wading into German politics

As I’ve said before, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it with speed & we need to do it with urgency & then we need to use it with truth & justice to send Elon Musk packing

Good shout, Jeremy. I hope it works and gives some pleasure to those turning up who deserve our admiration as well as to we ex-pats.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

What do we know, I guess, but I’ll back him every time against the chancers and outright nasties that oppose him.

Everything I learn about Keir Starmer points to a thoroughly decent man. His mum, his dad and now his brother. Family makes us who we are and shapes many values. I hope he will have some space for the coming days.

My mortgage tripled after the Liz Truss budget. That for me was an increase of Β£164 per month! It recently came down by around Β£15 over the past few months. The fact Truss is still free rather than locked up is just a piss take!

Assad’s British wife β€˜to divorce dictator and move back to UK after becoming unhappy with life in Moscow exile' β€” LBC The British wife of deposed Syrian despot Bashar Al-Assad is said to be considering a move back to the UK after growing unhappy with life in Russia.

Don't even consider it, Keir Starmer @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social

Are taxpayers supposed to fund the security and healthcare for a fcuking co-tyrant after what she's been a willing participant in against Syrians? #shaminaBegum
