The Labour Party is working incredibly hard to present itself as a pro-Brexit party. The U.K. is governed by a “super minority” of swing voters in marginal seats. The majority of voters remain unrepresented. #ge24 #generalelection24

Here in #lisbon #portugal the bus tour included the place where the #lisbontreaty of the #eu was signed. They proudly embrace their membership. The Faragist Brexit ultras use the same information as an evil plot against Britain.

Took a bunch of pictures at the #mlb #londonseries with the #mets and #phillies Great #baseball weekend at the #londonstadium

I think people are just waiting to vote the #conservatives out. This basically means the polls aren’t shifting and the dial isn’t moving for #rishisunak I think some MPs know this. Others don’t have a clue what is happening. #ge24

In the #generalelection the journalists talk about getting the keys to number 10. 10 Downing Street doesn’t have keys, or a lock. The door is opened and closed by a concierge. The police stand outside. Metaphor based on making it sound normal. #ge24

Amazing

We could be about to have an inflection point in British politics. With #labour now finding no problem in accepting the pro-Brexit, anti-union, ERG right winger #natalieelhick it may now morph into a centre right party. Taking the space the #conservatives used to own. The U.K. turning right.

@adambienkov.bsky.social It seems to me that the #conservatives have taught us that constitutional change does not require a referendum. The Mayoral and PCC election method was changed. This means a Labour Government has no barrier to bringing in PR without a referendum.

@jay.bsky.team 2FA is good. Even better would be passwordless with passkeys.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse…Trade groups have warned of higher food prices and empty supermarket shelves because of new post-Brexit border fees being introduced this month news.sky.com/story/warnin...

Warnings of higher food prices and empty shelves due to new post-Brexit border feesnews.sky.com The fees are intended to cover the cost of operating the border control posts introduced after Brexit, and will not apply to goods brought into the UK for personal use.

The reading list is #twitter today. Got a great little book on the #musk takeover. a.co/d/9QE5r5x

#sandiego #padres versus the #giants tonight. At least 20.10 in the U.K. Should be a good opener for the season at #petcopark (Photo from 2023) #mlb #baseball

Great concert last night at the #glasshouse #gateshead Tony Hadley Swing Tour 2024 Hadley was the lead singer of #spandauballet

@chrislhayes.bsky.social The states do get to choose whether women can have reproductive health care but are not allowed to choose who can be on the ballot in their state? It seems states rights stop with Trump. I am from the U.K. so maybe I am just confused.

Food trade bodies consider legal action over post-Brexit ‘not for EU’ labellingwww.theguardian.com Producers say the labelling could add £250m a year to their costs, further fuelling inflation

@sdpadres.bsky.social I would like to watch the training games on #mlb app but it looks like the #athletics game is radio only. I guess some of Arizona is "internet free" ..... #padres #sandiegopadres #cactusleague

Is it just me or were the commentary team at #nufc v Blackburn whispering through the first half. I barely heard a word. #bbc #bbcsport

Brexit, Brexitism, and the Trump and Russian threats. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. With concerns about these threats deepening, the geo-political folly of Brexit gets clearer but so too does the case for a closer UK-EU relationship: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/02/brex...

The Wellingborough by election left Reform UK with a credible 13%. Now there is a party for those who type exclusively in CAPs and believe we haven’t really left the EU.

A funny thing about Snell remaining unsigned this late is that seemingly every other top pitching prospect is cut from a similar cloth: strikeout artist with command and workload concerns. Everyone wants their own Snell, they just don’t want to pay for the original.

It's officially baseball season 😍

@bsky.app It would be good if you supported passkeys for better security.

I stand corrected. The Government has actually delivered one “benefit” of Brexit https://youtu.be/EyaPCijmUAI?si=SIzUnG5GMOMJWVRV
