What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

Okay

I mean her party is polling on average 18% in the polls. She's 'set' for a general election at Xmas in the same way I'm set for winning a grand slam tennis tournament next week

When I say the politics will become increasingly obvious... I mean look at this. If you want to unite the left/centre and split the Tories, without a big spending committment there's no better option.

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

60% of those who responded to the Bank of England consultation called for pictures of wildlife on bank notes. Does he think the British people are conducting a "slow, steady and relentless attack" on themselves?

Lovely piece about Andy Burnham's early days as a reporter for 'Tank World' the-fence.com/article/tank...

'Watson told the podcast he would work with a Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns if the situation arose, saying: “[Palantir] don’t actually work in that sector, but yes, of course we would"'

I really like Peter but largely disagree with him on this one. H+SP was never going to be a particularly fruitful seat for the Greens

@adambienkov.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:51 AM

True, I mean it's not a great result for him personally, but the impact of standing a leader is probably overdone imo. Farage lost seven by-elections in a row and I don't remember that ever being a leadership crisis for him

@adambienkov.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:44 AM

Polanski obviously facing lots of questions about standing down, following his handling of the zionism motion, but can't see this result in itself as a reason to.

@adambienkov.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:42 AM

This is clearly a good result for Labour, but it also doesn't strike me as a terrible result for the Greens. Vote share held up from the local elections in a constituency that was never really a target for them

@adambienkov.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:12 AM

That 'Keminaissance' in full

They won the vote! Came fourth but the BoE picked puffins instead

Compare the coverage Badenoch is getting right now, when her party is in a poor third place, with how Ed Miliband's leadership was covered at a time when Labour were actually leading in the polls
