Don’t argue with people over sixty. Just don’t. It’s not just an age; it’s a masterclass in survival. They grew up without Google, without DoorDash, without therapy podcasts, and without an "undo" button. If something broke, they grabbed duct tape, WD-40, a hammer, and a look of sheer determination that made even the broken appliance second-guess itself. As kids, they knew exactly what kind of mood their mom was in just by the sound of how hard she slammed the cast-iron skillet onto the stove. They were the original latchkey kids — walking home from middle school with a house key tied around their neck, with strict orders to heat up lunch and not burn the kitchen down. By the time they were ten, they could bike to the corner store, buy a gallon of milk for the neighbor, feed the family dog, and still have time to play freeze tag in the yard until dark. Their knees were a permanent canvas of scrapes, bruises, and rubbing alcohol. Their universal first-aid kit was just a quick wash under the garden hose and a Band-Aid. If a bone wasn't sticking out, you were fine. They drank water straight from that same hose, ate Wonder Bread covered in butter and sugar, shared a single glass bottle of Coke among five friends, and somehow didn't die from a lack of sanitization. This is the generation that knows how to rewind a cassette tape with a No. 2 pencil. They know the suspense of waiting all week for a movie to air on TV, because if you missed it, it was gone. They remember rotary phones, looking up a family in a massive paper phonebook, and the excitement of getting a color television. They survived party lines, typewriter ribbons, early brick cell phones, and flip phones — and today, they might accidentally send you a 7-minute voice memo where the first 6 minutes are just them breathing and asking, "Hello? Can you hear me?" And don't you dare laugh. Because without a GPS, these people could drive halfway across the country using nothing but an old paper map, a cooler full of sandwiches, and the gut feeling that "the exit should be coming up somewhere around here." They are the ultimate masters of household magic. They can stitch, tighten, glue, and fix just about anything. And somewhere in their pantry, they have a "bag of bags" that is literally older than half the gadgets you own. Leave people over sixty alone. They saw the world before the internet, and they navigated the world after it. And through it all, they didn't just get by — they thrived.

Labour already held this seat. Burnham is a massive egoist and this is a circus

'When your own side isn't good enough'? You cheeky so and so! @Keir_Starmer is worth a hundred of you, both as Prime Minister and as a man of integrity. What you've done and are doing is disgusting and self-serving, nothing else.

RT @LaindonFEMINIST: To be brutally honest. I do not want Keir Starmer to be Foreign Secretary. What a bloody insult. I want Keir Starmer…

ZELENSKYY: Today we have reason to express special gratitude to Britain. They have detained Russian oil tanker off their shores — this is the first such step taken by United Kingdom. We must stop Russia’s shadow fleet to bring Russia’s war closer to a halt. Thank you, Britain!

This and of course a stronger commitment towards this would maximise tactical voting to keep out Farage. I would prefer a GE pledge to rejoin rather than a promise to hold a referendum the latter being a more recent constitutional development not in keeping with GB tradition.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

The more I see of Burnham. The more I see through him.

Doing an outstanding job Keir Starmer. ❤️🌹

Thank you @DanJarvisMBE You’ve clearly hit the ground running. And, you are already proving an exemplary choice 👏🏼👏🏼💫🌹🌹😊

Thank you. Refreshing to see MPs calling out the nonsense we are seeing from the Westminster hacks.

Not point scoring? His whole campaign has been anti-Starmer point scoring.

But I voted for a five year mandate. With Keir Starmer!

Check out the #MSM coverage of #smallboats crossing the Chanel over the last 2 weeks, oh, you can't because zero boats have crossed the Chanel over the last 2 wks. WHY ARE THE MEDIA NOT REPORTING IT? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT THEIR NARRATIVE TO WIND YOU UP!! ITS BIG NEWS!!!

You’re going to see a lot in your X timeline about how the social media ban is unworkable and illiberal - and it will be one the most obvious examples of how social media skews debate. But it will be one of the most popular things the government is doing theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Some of my followers might have thought I went mad or drunk or maybe both 😠 I challenged a few Reform and Restore supporters today with short, simple posts. Nothing abusive. Nothing wild. Just questions. The reaction was incredible. So much anger. So much rage. So much need to insult rather than answer. I was named the c-word many times Absolutely vile ! And it made me wonder: why are they so angry? If your politics is confident, you can debate. If your argument is strong, you can explain. If your movement is really about Britain, you do not need to scream at everyone who disagrees. Maybe the anger is not strength. Maybe it is fear, dressed up as patriotism. But I still love them because they are humans. I will post a summary tomorrow. Thoughts ?
