Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

It was supposed to be my Makerfield
(Moral) Victory Rally. Now it’s my campaign launch too! Come get a taste of bin juice this Thursday evening in London @museumofcomedy at 8.30pm!

That’s one poster sorted.

Count Binface becoming an MP really would be the most surreal possible ending to the story of Reform UK.

Bernard Ponsonby: “[But] enshrined in the Scotland Act was this Section 30 process [meaning] Westminster has a veto forever and a day. Therefore the question is whether you think that legal veto is something that sits comfortably with democracy.”

[Gerry Hassan @GerryHassan]

As people get postal votes for the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

I just supported this case! https://t.co/843N1b0FkN via @CrowdJustice

Stop them messing with Cathkin Park. Yet again Glasgow folk have to say, Glasgow’s Parks belong to the people of Glasgow.

We are sad to hear the news of John Byrne’s passing. A truly inspirational artist and Scottish cultural figure. We're personally indebted to him for his support of the Citz on and off stage. Our condolences to his family, friends and everyone privileged to have worked with him.

[Lost Glasgow @LostGlasgow]

A big light has just gone out.

John Byrne: artist, writer, wit, auto-didact, Paisley buddy, slab boy, roller of fine roll-ups, music-lover, sharer of hairy dug stories, driest of wits, big wheezy laugher, kindest and sweetest of men, and always the best dressed guy in the room.

My new hero / heroine is Dr Simona Kossak, a Polish biologist and conservation activist. She spoke to her animals (who doesn't?), so of course she was maligned and called a witch.

She looks a little like a yesteryear @GretaThunberg

Ex-Israeli solder Benzi Sanders is speaking a lot of sense here. If only the likes of @elicoh1 would listen to him. Benzi Sanders was interviewed by Sky News’ @markaustintv.

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…

"How would you feel if something suddenly happened here and we had to flee somewhere?"

"We should be embarrassed. It's an atrocity."

This woman takes less than a minute to completely destroy the Tory government's archaic anti-refugee policies.

Brilliant thread which explains in detail the real story of the 1707 Treaty of Union: https://t.co/0bHoSUGFvV well worth a read.
