The only way damaging 2 planes can be called "terrorism" is if the plane is already flying and there are "terrified" people in it.

The rules I didn't follow Were the rules that I made But no-one told me I broke the rules that I made Someone must be held responsible Not for breaking the rules that I made But for not telling me I broke the rules I didn't follow That were the rules that I made

We don’t have to send them to Russia (Ukraine would’ve been a better example). We can just send them to Florida where childhood vaccines aren’t required anymore.

Michael Gove is personally responsible for many of the awful things this government has caused, starting with his destruction of local, democratic education. I hope at some point a statue of him is made so we can all bring our dogs along to piss on it
Life is not a bowl of cherries, it's more like a jar of pickled onions. Hard to pin down and makes your breath smell
Everyone is allowed to be stupid a few times a week. Wisdom is not exceeding the limit and #Brexit was just taking the piss

Though previous interventions by historical figures against the far right during dangerous moments in history had been staunch, all were surpassed by the “I like flags” tweet

Like a lot of people living in London and the wider UK, *I* am an economic migrant. There are opportunities for me here that there weren't back in South Africa (a country I love which has one of the most progressive constitutions on earth - and also some major socio-economic problems).
When I was in the cubs, I remember being taught how to correctly fold the Union flag. Not a skill I've ever used again. I wish they'd taught me how to fold up a fitted sheet.
So the plan is to offer Afghanistan - currently run by… checks notes… the Taliban, not exactly famed for their “humanity” - a massive economic boost in exchange for taking back people who fled from… checks notes again… the Taliban. Tell me, does this sound like a good idea to anyone?

The fact that an anti-migrant politician, who tells us every single day that he doesn't like immigration, is saying it once again, is not in any way news

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Stop promoting Reform Limited and Farage and Tice et al to the expense of all other political parties in the UK and start being decent unbiased journalists.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please tell BBC News we’re sick of 4 MP Party Reform being rammed down our throats daily with drivel like this👇🏼report The @libdems.org.uk have 72 MPs, Greens 4, SNP 9 but they don’t get a look in 🤷🏼♂️ Soon BBC News will report what Farage has for breakfast 🙄
Let’s be honest here: they were hoping the anti-refugee protests turned ugly because then there would be sexy telegenic violence. The reason that the progressive protests aren’t news is because they don’t. Which shows the warped priorities of our tv news coverage and is not a great signal to send.

Welcome to broken Britain, where overstimulated flagshaggers are manipulated into believing they're taking back a country that never actually existed, from an imaginary enemy who didn't take it away, to benefit populist demagogues who don't care for people other than themselves.

Next door's cat came to see me yesterday. She's a lovely white cat and wanted to know why some men with no shirts on, had try to paint a red cross on her. I told her it's because they wanted to turn her into a CATRIOT

Are people putting Union Flags up everywhere because they keep forgetting what country they live in? #patriotism
People all over the country are trying to draw noughts and crosses boards for kids to play on over the summer holidays. But they just can't get it right.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.
I am going to say this only once.
Nigel Farage is a joke he keeps repeating

Is there not an "Aging Rockers" section already?
Would you rather spend OUR money on our people or 12 new planes to drop bombs on other people?
When the Labour Party tells us "there is no money left" what do they think the rich are buying shares, newspapers and luxury yachts with?
Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

That cabinet minister Pat McFadden has done the morning broadcast rounds claiming huge numbers are “signing on” to PIP daily demonstrates why the government has a rebellion on its hands: the disability benefits cuts are not simply immoral - they are based on blatant lies few MPs wish to repeat.

Starmer "I sat next to Trump at dinner." School day fantasies of being chosen by the school bully to eat the cabbage he didn't want
Keir Starmer is an embarrassment to the Labour Party and the country as a whole. Scrabbling on the floor on your knees in front of a dictator, both metaphorically and for real is not what the Labour Party should be doing.
